A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

That's what they want. They want you to never actually click a link, they want you to take their word for it.
Some of the stuff that's actually said it atrocious and disgusting. Some of it is hyperbole and out of context to make them look bad.
Meanwhile if we just post their actual wording and actual beliefs, people would side more against them.
If we mixed in hyperbole and bullshit with the real, it gives them ammo. It makes people second guess. It just muddies the water.
But they're on a tirade against weirdos online who think Russia is cool for various inconsistent reasons that contradict each other. So why not lie and repost memes manually? That's clearly a better time if someone's life.
Right. I feel that any argument one may have gets severely weakened by using distorted examples. If nothing else, any possible good examples get drowned out and discredited by bad examples that are easily verified to be bad.
Ans that's why I'm all for documenting bullshit of anyone, any organization, any company, anything, as long as it's documented verified shit.
Otherwise it just gives them ammo to ignore the reality and say if 40% if false, then 100% must be.
I agree!
They also really hate when you say this when they do their spamming of their mega thread.
