Gotta agree. While I enjoy just vibing with the comrades here, having those clashes adds hilarity, memes and develops a culture that made eg GZD so unique.

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES anarchism, Gonzaloism, etc.)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

MODERATORS
It's amazing to see how liberals have no idea what to do when they end up outside their circle jerk. They aren't able to articulate any actual points, and they're used to just piling on anyone who says things they disagree with and not have to actually make an argument of their own. My favorite is the guy who keeps linking to wikipedia descriptions of logical fallacies without actually understanding them. 😂
Ukraine community:
In the upper 50-70 posts there's like 3 your posts critical of the narration and every single other post is straight up either UA propaganda, western repost of UA propaganda or westoid rablings going even further than UA propaganda.
I mean these people have been subjected to some of the most intense propaganda ever deployed for like two years now. Arguably this can even be traced back to the Russiagate conspiracy theory. That primed libs to hate Russia, and then all the Ukraine propaganda just hitches on to that.
It's stil not an excuse for the inability to count to 3
And we're the ones who want to exist in self-affirming spaces? Liberals can't see the hypocrisy of decrying the far-right yet acting exactly like them.
They left reddit because of reddit bullshit and the first thing they want to do in this new space is create the exact same conditions that made reddit crap.
This is colonialism all over again.

Yeah, I see a lot of bragging about "pushing tankies out of the space", the space that they founded, mind you. Not even content with just creating echo chambers to exist blindly and unquestioningly in (beehaw), they don't want other groups to have anything for themselves; they aren't satisfied getting a space for themselves until they can be sure their 'enemy' also has no space for themselves.

They know that deplatforming works. Even the westolefto, despite all their freezepeach nonsense.
They aren't even shy about it (post about "tankies"):
and how's rexxit going for them lol
Most of them will probably get back.
Uuuuuuugh, “I don’t like this source” is easily one of my least favorite responses; the respondent may as well not even post since they’re ignoring the content anyway. Yes, the Wall Street Journal is puke, but nobody lies 100% of the time. That’s why you need to learn how to read critically.
There has to be some sort of course that people can take to teach them how to properly scrutinize sources and distinguish between good reporting and rumourmongering, rather than trying to take shortcuts like that.
And what’s up with all of the repetitive definitions and attempts to accuse you of being logically fallacious? It doesn’t make the replier look clever; it’s just extremely embarrassing.

The point we post explicitly liberal sources is to make liberals think even for just a second. Turns out, it's still not enough.

It's an old trolling technique, but this guy apparently didn't even understand how it's done.
I had a philosophy professor years ago who said that people who make catalogues of logical fallacies don't really understand logic. The true logician simply examines the argument, notes that it doesn't follow, and tells you why without using any jargon.
Being on the internet has convinced me this guy was completely correct.
It's not only an internet, reading philosphy in general i noticed it's awfully filled with jargon. And it tend to use it in worst possible manner.
Philosophy has a tendency to need to use very specialized language to avoid problems of ambiguity and to precisely identify concepts that have no reason to come up in the vast, vast majority of conversation among laypeople.
Yeah, but seriously what's even the point of such wisdom, especially when it can led people into things like subjective idealism. Or maybe it's because idealists needs to reach insane levels of abstraction to even explain their idiotic ideas.
Probably a certain amount of specialized terminology is neccesary, and the complete lack of it, as in (say) Nietzsche, doesn't always signify a profound thinker. But I agree with you that most contemporary philosophers use jargon simply to obscure.
I mean, from what i see Nietzsche key to popularity was precisely the fact he's understandable, because he mostly just rambled, but laymen at least can tell what he meant.
Brooklynman is a misgendering reactionary who calls people snowflakes.
The other one is probably his experimental debatebro bot. Only something like 10 lines that have 0 context relevance.
Edit: Now he is using both accounts to doubledownvote everything (in sync)
This is only one person
Holy shit go look at the thread right now, that guy have SERIOUS problems.
Yeah, I think we broke him. He got banned by our mods now tho.
Btw i just spotted "why there are fascists in our antiauthoritarian space" moment on modlog:
