Tankie for your service
cm0002You have been banned from Lemmy․ml
Good job everyone blocking and boycotting .ml! It's having an effect, users are noticing and MAUs on their comms are falling! - Lemmy.World
And for anyone asking “Why are we boycotting/blocking lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]?” Here’s a quick recap: Lemmy.ml [http://Lemmy.ml] is an instance run by admins who are hardcore tankies and will enforce their ideology on their instance through various means from allowing (and pushing it themselves) propaganda (Such as Russia being justified in some way to invade Ukraine) and known propaganda outlets (Like RT) to removing content on their instance critical of their favored authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China and even banning users for such speech or speech critical of them if it’s off their instance (Just like the Reddit mods of ol!). If it was just some random instance it would have been defederated from long ago like the rest of the “Tankie Triad” (Hexbear and Lemmygrad), but they’ve positioned lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] as the “flagship” instance and abused that position and influence to become large enough to keep other instances from defederating from them. Which I believe is harmful to the Lemmy-verse’s overall growth and outside reputation. I have seen it come up before on Reddit threads (and other testimonials from people who came back and tried it again) that “They tried Lemmy but it was a bunch of tankies and went back to Reddit” I don’t know about you, but I’d prefer Lemmy to not end up with the reputation for being "Tankie Central " or even worse “Voat 2.0”. So if you haven’t joined the boycott yet, join today and help us foster a better healthier Lemmy-verse!

I’d be perfectly fine with that. I am blocking that instance anyway.
Oxysis/OxyOh no anyway
Tankies are communist keyboard warriors, this guy’s a nazi
Plenty of “communists” who share the same opinions as reactionary conservatives/nazis for anything not relating to the economy.
Just as an example, the anti-woke r/EuropeanSocialists subreddit. Abortion bad, gay people bad, trans people even worse.
You’re correct, but it doesn’t really relate to the comment above. Yes, tankies agree with Fascists on authoritarianism, but this guy is a Fascist, not a tankie.
tankies wet dream fantasies.
The only true tankie
Is it wrong that I hope he gets his ass killed by an American who traveled to Ukraine to join them?
Yes. Wishing people to die is wrong unless they’re in power. You are an awful person and you should be ashamed of yourself
Hah, that was a trick question designed to expose more pansies to block.
Go on, warmonger. Leopards surely won’t bite your face
MushuChupacabraGo on, warmonger. Leopards surely won’t bite your face
Probably not, as they’re not stupid enough to move to Russia.
No, as they would be your very peers who wish death on some reason. They’ll find a reason for you. Do you even know how LAMF works?
PaupersSerenadeAt the beginning of this thread you told the original commenter to be ashamed for wishing an ironic death to someone who joined the Russian armed forces. Now you think Russians would be their peers? I’m honestly curious what your personal viewpoint is at this point
I may have messed this up.
The story goes like this (exaggerating, biased, etc…):
They: haha, hope they’ll die
Me: (moralizing) do not wish death on the internet
They: you’re so soft, I ban you
Me: (arrogantly) do it, but your peers (supporters in this thread) will find a reason for hoping that you die
That’s not how that works. You can hope death on specific people and it’s not contagious, you can limit it to just the shitty people invading and starting wars, it wont spread to everywhere else. That’s a really weird and limited take on morality and ethics.
No, as they would be your very peers who wish death on some reason.
Since I’m not in a fascist distoortion field, I don’t envision myself falling in love with the idea of moving to Russia. So there’s a zero percent chance of my very peers being a bunch of Russians.
For funzies, come up with a plausible scenario that would actually worry me.
They’ll find a reason for you.
See above. Paint a picture that would actually make me give a fuck about your point.
Do you even know how LAMF works?
Yes. A bit earlier, I was taking the piss out of some dumb-ass from Texas and his stupid wife, who are in the middle of a LAMF situation as we speak.
donYou are an awful person and you should be ashamed of yourself
Let’s see if that works. You’re an idiot and you should feel stupid for being an idiot.
Did it work? Do you feel stupid for being an idiot? No?!
Didn’t think so, but you’re still an idiot.
I feel stupid for being an idiot, though it doesn’t have anything to do with your comment.
Well, no, I feel stupid for starting all this and yes, I’m still an idiot for reasons you don’t know about me
Nono you see, your understanding of the situation is just misinformed idiotry.
This man is GOING to die in Ukraine. Wanting it to be an American on the Ukraine side to do it is merely wishing for a higher level of irony.
I like the theme of idiotry. Let’s unpack.
This guy’s an idiot. For whatever reason, let’s not focus on the MAGA stuff here. I’m an idiot because I try to moralize somewhere in Lemmy. You’re an idiot, because you support another idiot who’s hoping someone they don’t know die, while arguing with the me-idiot about guy-idiot.
What do we have, if we assume that we’re all idiots? Since you’re less of an idiot among us all, you’ll draw the picture
Don’t bother with these jerks, you’re just being picked on.
I only spoke of logic. The person you’re attempting to defend doesn’t even understand the concept of irony, so have fun defending idiots.
I don’t think you misunderstood the intent of my comment, but ok.
No, you’re yet again being an idiot for failing to understand that noone in this particular thread has explicitly wished for his death, just wished for specific details of it. You are yet again being a complete moron for failing to realize the facts of reality.
This man is going to die. Regardless of you. Regardless of the other person. This man is GOING to die in Ukraine. Wishing for it to be an American is AUGMENTING that, not desiring it outright.
Now please, learn how to read before you continue to embarass yourself.
P.S. You’re specifically NOT moral for defending a piece of trash deciding to go to a far more dangerous place and suffering the consequences.
Dude, you have way too much time on your hands. Go touch grass and stop arguing with people on the internet. I promise you’ll be happier.
If he actually goes to the frontline to participate in assaults, he’ll be in a position of power to kill Ukrainian soldiers and medics who are only trying to defend their country from an invasion.
So personally, yes I do hope for him (or any of his invading “comrades”) to die before he gets the opportunity to kill any Ukrainians living their lives in their own fucking country, and I feel zero shame about it nor do see why someone would.
He had the power to sit his ass at home and not join the Russian military. But his homophobia drove him across the world and into Putins meat grinder. Sucks for him and his family, but he had every opportunity to not make that decision.
Nope! Some people deserve death. This guy is one of them.
Is downvote you if I could, but my instance can’t.
I’ve downvoted myself for you
Nah. There’s plenty of shit people on this planet, and I have no shame on wishing that most of them weren’t.
Fascists can all die because they want to kill those that are not them.
spinnetroubleIf he doesn’t get killed by an American fighting for Ukraine, he’s still going to be under fire from weapons from the US. I bet that feels bad.
Feeding the sunflowers is the best thing he could do for everyone
So he was stupid enough to move to Russia, and she was stupid enough to take her kids and go with him.
As it turns out, being wilfully stupid can be fatal.
Darwin Award candidate.
He already reproduced
empireOfLove2Well, looks like the children’s fate will also be Russian cannon fodder at this rate…
steal_your_faceWhat’s the term for when your stupidity destroys your kod’s chances of reproduction?
I just call them Conservative
lumpenproletariatHis actions could still impact the offspring's survival, Thus it would be evolutionary beneficial to not fuck up your offspring's future by moving to Russia.
You can get a DA if your actions lead to your children not reproducing, but generally DAs are not awarded if you kill someone else.
So if his kids die in a Russian trench before reproducing, he would be eligible for a DA. A this time I’d give him a Honorable Mention at most.
Edit : Their sons from different marriages opted to stay behind in the US. This would be a HM at best.
He is cannon fodder, and his children will be too in a few years. So sad.
I do feel bad for the kids. It’s not their fault that their parents are fucking idiots.
Now, if more MAGA would go to Russia, that be great.
kamenlady
PavidusWell, I’m glad he’s safe from the gays.
Not necessarily. LGBTQ people serve openly in Ukraine, military, and while they lack some basic legal protections, LGBTQ rights advocacy has been growing steadily in Ukraine during the war.
He may be in far more danger from “the gaze” than ever before.
Oh no, how terrible for him. We should send him bright shirts that say “not gay” to wear in combat so there’s no confusion.
And here my big gay self is reading this from my comfortable home in America. I love this and wish more MAGAts would self deport.
Russian hazing is uh something.
pelespiritWow, that’s a huge lesson he’s learning, you need to do a little research.
“The point of this act for me is to earn a place here in Russia,” he told Russian state media last month. “If I risk myself for our new country, no one will say that I am not a part of it. Unlike migrants in America who come there just like that, do not assimilate, and at the same time want free handouts.”
Undocumented migrants cannot join the U.S. military during peacetime. A program launched by former President George W. Bush allowed such immigrants to seek citizenship by serving in the military, but that pathway was shuttered during President Donald Trump’s first term.
RhaedasAre the migrants wanting handouts he refers to the ones who are working low paying physical jobs that Americans refuse to do, sending most of that money back to their families still in their native countries? What a bunch of freeloaders. /s
More like the women who wouldn’t have sex with him for free.
They also don’t get any federal handouts. Anything they do get is from state programs in a handful of blue states.
