People on twitter are saying he’s actually a far-right nationalist hypocrite who owns properties in the US. Makes sense to ban him then ig; just one of those fake internet celebrities that they occasionally ban probably.

But at what cost 😢

He’s gonna ban american and “israeli” maintainers too then, I guess?

“Is Lebanon part of Israel’s promised territory?” — Jerusalem Post, 5 days ago

They’ve removed it since. Too mask-off to release in english I guess.

US proxies be proxy’ing.

Never forget the White Terror the ROC subjected the native Taiwanese to — specially leftists and even liberals — when colonizing it.

Here’s the thread in question btw. The mods left up OP’s comments that had some semblance of effort.

OP claimed putler was trying to bring back the USSR or some shit here lmao. At least OP deleted it.

I don’t think most people on this thread like you very much either lol

I have not seen anyone there advocating for capitalism though?

Damn it’s nice to see the comments are surprisingly evenly split between hating on it and actually being reasonable. Quite a difference from when redditors first moved in here last year.

I guess the more people talk about it, the more people actually visit it for themselves and form their own opinions.

“The question of fascism” is already answered by shitlibs like you and macron. And your answer is “yes” as always.

Lemmy.world already exists unfortunately

I do miss some of the subreddits though

Just as capitalist states are “authoritarian” against working class interests, socialist states are “authoritarian” against capitalist interests.

The state is a tool for one class to oppress another. The goal of (most) communists is to transition from capitalism — where the capitalist class is in power — to a stateless, classless communist society via socialism — where the working class is in power.

Public perception of which is more “authoritarian” therefore depends on which class is currently in power and is able to manufacture consent, and that is the capitalist class in the vast majority of the world right now since the USSR’s overthrow.

• What is “Authoritarianism”?

Lmfao

Fucking finally. Was disgusting hearing Erdogan pretend to be pro-Palestine while being a primary trading partner of the occupation. I guess the internal pressure from the population is finally getting to them.

Lmao I wonder if it was intentional to say this during the Columbia university protests and troll amerikkka

That was in response to the US placing similar missiles in Turkey and Italy and threatening the USSR in 1961.

I don’t see Russia putting an embargo on those two now 60 years later. Though ig that’s not a one-to-one comparison since Russia’s ruled by capitalists now.

If I had to guess it probably has to do with the BJP’s support of israel

When hous is on fire, the right thing is put out the fire

The fire is the capitalist laws like IP; the “hous” is a country’s development. So yes, the fire should be put out.

Lmao liberals getting mad at (in this case non-existent) “violations” of laws that only exist to protect the capitalist class is always funny

Intellectual property shouldn’t exist; it kills millions of people every year from patented drugs, etc. and it did so in Africa during covid.
