    Do they explain voat being so toxic that no one would advertise on it for any amount of money? And you know those freeze peach idiots aren’t going to chip in on any of the costs, and then it became too expensive, in like a year, for the guy to keep paying for it while living in mom’s basement

  • I’d just like to interject for a moment. What this article is referring to as “Marxism/Leninism” is, in fact, Marxism-Leninism, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, “Marxism plus Leninism”. “Marxism/Leninism” implies either “Marxism” or “Leninism”; however, “Leninism” is is not an ideology unto itself, but rather an extension of Marxism. Many Marxists use this modified version of Marxism every day, without realizing it. Th

      Marxism/Leninism implies that you divide Marxism by Leninism which what would that even look like? That would be Trotskyism!

      I’d just like to interject for moment. What you’re referring to as theft, is in fact, uBlock Origin, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, uBlock Origin plus Advanced Mode. Theft is not an adblocker unto itself, but rather another misrepresentation of a fully functioning adblocker made useful by the uBlock Origin dynamic filters and its vital JS-blocking feature comprising a full modern adblocker as is required for the world wide web of today.

      Many web browsers run a modified version of uBlock Origin every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of adblockers which is widely used today is often called theft, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically uBlock Origin, developed by Raymond Hill.

    You can’t deny that we are leaving a lasting impact though, which other communist community can boast to having TWO articles written about them?

    “when it comes to everyday societal challenges that are usually points of interest for the left wing—like policing, climate change, healthcare, housing, and workers’ rights—tankies seem less engaged”

              I know, probably, and I’m sure… I mean, I play into that stigma sometimes myself, in fact I was initially going to write that first comment as a parody of “Don’t Be a Sucker” – but I stopped for a moment and figured that I might as well take the initiative to point out the real stigma against adult diapers while I thought about it, because that stigma does affect a lot of people and that could very well include many of us some day.

              The problem is of course that it’s one of those stigmas where nobody really wants to challenge it precisely because it is so normalized, so bringing it up at all feels weird, forced, mood-killing, or even “suspicious”.

                To be fair, I am very certain that they didn’t mean adult diapers but rather very large baby diapers. In the context of these jokes, the people mocked are figurative babies, some weirdo conservatives charlie-kirk emulating babies, or adult fetishists emulating babies (ABDL, etc.). Adult incontinence issues are absolutely not a part of it.

    Glad to see some bougie academic reaffirm the fact that our desire to see everyone treated like a human being is an extreme position.

      People who said the computer would end up being one of the most useful scientific tools ever invented were (1) right, but (2) also didn’t anticipate how whole sectors of western academia would end up just browsing social media, collecting some screenshots, and presenting the whole together with some lazy-ass graph as “research.”

        Anyone else remember the overwhelming sense of horror and despair when they realized reading their twitter feed had slowly become literally all the research and investigation journalists did anymore?

        And now looking back that was so much better than what we’re left with these days.

    Global Network does not understand how fediverse works, the history of Lemmy, nor even the most blatant and obvious puns on one of the largest cities in the Soviet Union. Definitely people who know what they’re talking about!

    I can’t believe they adopted the term tankie and wrote a whole Vincent Adultman whitepaper anchored around it. It appears to be the first paper for all three of them, at this particular think tank at least.

    We still need to take bets on when the first real mainstream use of the word “tankie” happens and in what context. Will Trump or one of his surrogates decry Biden as a tankie? Will some lamestream media person CNN say it on primetime about either real communists, liberals, or even the more reactionary elements? Perhaps some blithering liberal tool will call Trump one. Or perhaps some zionist shill will accuse all of the pro-palestine marchers of being tankies. In fact the last one seems slightly more probable to my mind though it’ll likely occur on a more reactionary network like Fox because CNN and such like to pretend there are no marches or support for Palestine while Fox has an interest in hyping the idea of domestic Hamas because their audience is incredibly naive and credulous and will believe they’re coming over the southern border.
