“Why do people want to talk about stuff that affects their daily lives so damn much???”
I just want a picture of a got dang hot dog
Lemmy has some very aggressive communists.
I’ve been lucky enough to dodge the crazy right wingers though.
i wonder if maybe not having right wingers has something to do with having aggressive communists to run hem off.No. It must be lib magic
Nah I’m pretty sure it’s the same reason why Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus are never seen in a room together
Wait are you trying to say we’re the same people?
Or that the reason is so simple why we’re not in the same rooms together that a child should be able to understand it?
I think the implication is we’re addicted to a magical potion that transforms us into an evil alter ego who causes mischief in town
And then we get to hang out with Abbott and Costello
And then we get to hang out with Abbott and Costello
It’s just a single monk:
I’m fine with the lesser of two evils.
Thats a real self own. Do you think you voted away the “greater evil”, or libs did anything to make them go away?
You are the lesser evil. And we’re not fine with you.
Almost like the very aggressive communists have a nose for right wing nut jobs and relentlessly hound them until they log out
I think that’s awful an immature behavior. When you fight idiocy with aggression (at least on social media) you just get idiots who think they must be right and start truth social or something
immature
The most maturity obsessed internet people, like you, act like smug adult children while policing the maturity of others.
Sure, lib
How do you deal with fascists? Facts and logic in the free marketplace of ideas™?
I usually just ignore them.
I find that a lot of crazy right wingers do it to “own the libs” or get a rise out of their supposed enemies. It’s all just a sports game to people like that.
If you ignore them they get bored and stop being so staunch in their awful beliefs. When you fight with them it makes them feel like they’re right. You end up forcing them to rationalize every shitty position.
Almost nobody posts on the internet trying to challenge and reconsider their beliefs, so it’s not like you’re going to change their mind anyway.
I mean that’s what I think, at least
Thanks for ignoring the people who want us dead, very mature and polite of you!!!
Yknow I’m talking about on social media platforms, right?
Frothing at the mouth raging at someone on a social media platform doesn’t do anything but cause more radicalization, so I just ignore people instead. I don’t spend most of my life fighting with people on the internet over politics.

You won’t push back on fascists, but you can’t shut up when pushing back against people who believe in pushing back fascism.
cause more radicalization
Its been pointed out multiple times now that this is literally a fascist talking point. Pushing back against fascism is not what makes people fascist. In fact its how we protect the targets of fascism on shared spaces online or off.
As has also been pointed out to you some people just existing is seen as an incitement by fascists. What are they supposed to do? They can’t just ignore threats and the invalidation of their humanity. That you can shut your eyes to that says a lot about you.
Anti communists can stay malding
Hexbears stay winning
Need a politics-free safe space? It’s called stop supporting people who want me dead.
Like I genuinely get mad when people say stuff like “I don’t want politics in my x” or whatever, because YEAH. ME FUCKING TOO. Do you know how much I would love not feeling on the defensive at all times due to the pending casual extermination of people like me that you are either supporting or ignoring??? If all the libs wanted me to be a lib like them they could have simply not made me life hell.
Firstly, that sounds like a shit situation to be in, so please don’t think I’m dismissing your struggles here.
I don’t live in the same country as you and I have no power to even slightly affect your political situation. I read enough bad news about stuff that I at least have a chance to get involved in that sometimes I want to read some funnies on the internet without having to read about another shit situation. It’s not because I don’t care, it’s because it’s not worth stressing out further about something I cannot do anything about.
So yeah, that’s why people don’t want so see US politics everywhere. Just because something is very important doesn’t mean it’s very important to everyone.
“I just don’t want to see your suffering”
Do you want to see people suffering? Because that’s fucked up.
The bare minimum you can do is listen when someone is in pain and stand witness when they are under attack. I want to see when people are suffering, so I can figure out how to help, or at very least show solidarity. Obviously I can’t take this in at all hours of every day, but that’s time I spend alone or with an IRL friend, not on an online messaging board.
Other way round for me, my IRL time contains the serious shit, I come online for escapism
I don’t know why you would go on the “people talking about events” platform and being surprised people are talking about events that aren’t happy. That’s just poor planning. I mean yeah, be there for your friends, but you should be able to have light or pleasant conversation pretty often, and steer away from troubling topics when you aren’t up for it, far easier than online.
This is the point everyone misses. They forget that other people have problems even if it’s not happening to them

The difference is just a scratch.
Now this is a post I can get behind.
Take a hike, hug a tree, run your fingers through blades of grass, stare at nature and take it in.
Maybe even get a cheeky grill in while you’re at it
Grillpill me, baby
Alright so what you need is 3 large portobello mushrooms, ¼ cup canola oil (or oil of your choice), ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoons chopped onion, and 4 minced cloves garlic.
First Clean the mushrooms; remove stems, reserving them for another use. Place mushroom caps gill-side up in a shallow dish.
Then Combine oil, balsamic vinegar, onion, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour mixture evenly over mushroom caps; let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Go and Preheat the grill to medium-high heat; grease the grate.
Lastly, Grill those suckers over the hot grill until caramelized and tender, about 5 minutes per side; serve warm.
I’m getting the impression from Lemmy that there’s an overrepresentation of the particular demographic of comfortable middle-aged bookish software engineers who live in the US or Canada.
comfortable middle-aged bookish software engineers who live in the US or Canada.
That seems to be like 95% of both reddit’s and lemmy’s (or some other federated instances’) user-bases.
It’s reddit rejects so what do you think
On the other hand there’s also an overrepresentation of tankies. I don’t think those are the same people.
“Tankie” is to liberals as “woke” is to conservative liberals and fascists.
What word would you prefer to someone who tells you to your face that they intend to “put you up against the wall” and then asks if you “know what that means, you fucking lib”?
I mean, I’m a demsoc, and of the last 20 death threats I have received in my life, 15 came from people who identify as Communist-Leninist. PLEASE give me a better word for them.
Communist
How many leftists do you have to execute to earn your colors?
None, just liberals willing to go along to get along with fascists. Which you are.
Funny because of the dozens, if not hundreds, of death threats I’ve gotten, practically all of them come from zionists, NAFOs, keyboard nazis or the occasional trumpeteer.
Tankies don’t get death threats from other tankies? I’m shocked!
no but trans people get death threats from “anti-tankies”
I deleted Reddit because those politics were too much Bs to handle, found myself in the same politics here as well x-x
I’m fine with politics on the internet, but why spam it on a memes community…
Point me to a time/place when politics were not completely intertwined with meme communities.
Oh, right. That doesn’t actually exist.
Everything is political, not just when your views are challenged.
Spoken like a true person who tries to shoehorn their political beliefs into every topic.
Movie based meme page?
Better talk about American politics!
Where were those movies made?
New Zealand? England?
Unless you’re watching indie foreign flicks they were all produced, written and edited in Hollywood, regardless of where they were filmed
Where did the funding for those movies come from? Where did that fancy military equipment come from? I wonder if the US military asked for anything in exchange for lending that out?
Need a politics-free safe space? It’s called “going for a walk”
Unfortunately, walks don’t last forever. Another option is to delete your lemmy/kbin account, because everything in these places is politics or related to politics or turned into politics.
Or…bear with me…you could create and moderate a politics-free meme community.
Who talks about politics on the internet? Round here we yell and fight about politics.
No we don’t you fascist swine!
The truth is somewhere in the middle, like always
Edit: apparently I should have put /s at the end
You absolutely should, since there is crapton of people out there which really prefer to throw that line completely seriously instead of moving their grey matter for a while.
You sure spent a lot of time making a clown of yourself in this thread. Take the L and go home.
