    I’m almost sure I won’t get a serious answer but how is a joke about a specific person racist? It’s not about stereotypes, just similarity to a cartoon figure. I live in Europe and my head of state looks like Mr Burns (he really does). Is that racism against white people? What is the difference?

      Right? All the time they joke about how Trump is fat and a closet gay. Can’t we just point out how much of a fascist he is and leave it at that?

    .mlol

    Edit: me, a dumbass banned from Reddit from suggesting baseball commissioner rob manfred is a fascist who can barely operate this site. Sometimes I read the memes and laugh. Sometimes i just don’t get them. When I don’t understand the meme it’s usually from some .ml place. I don’t know what that means. Sorry if that makes you mad. But stupid people have rights too

      Serious question: Why do y’all “hurt durr .ml” commenters even bother clicking on posts in our communities? Just block us.

        How else are they supposed to feel like they’re superior to another group? It’s just ingrained division bullshit that they haven’t learned to deprogram yet

          Dear Liberals

          You claim to hate Maoism yet you eliminated the landlords in your heads and let a community live there rent free. Curious.

        because about 15% of your output is thought provoking and worthwhile, and because we would become insufferably braindead only absorbing only liberal content.

          I’d say it’s a great deal higher than 15%, but if your goal is to get opposing viewpoints, why not swap to a more broadly federated instance?

            Eh, I’ve not seen enough to get a statistically significant sample of .ml posts, but naturally you (commie) are going to find more of your own propaganda virtuous. As to instance hopping, I don’t use lemmy enough to make it worth researching basically, nor is my goal to get opposing views necessarily, some opposing views are so dogshit they aren’t worth the observation (i.e. anything J.D.Vance or Liz Truss has ever said). Tradmarxists have a consistent lense with which to view the world which leads to coherrent, if not always good, takes.

              You’re missing out on most of us commies, though, who are on Grad and Hexbear. Plus, “virtue” has nothing to do with it, as a Marxist-Leninist I find Marxism-Leninism is by far the most consistent and coherent frame of analysis.
