I wonder what the guys over at lemmy.ml and hexbear.net would have to say about this?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 49 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

"It was just a meeting!"

"Whatabout the US???"

"Cambodian genocide didn't happen, or if it did it wasn't that bad, or if it was it's not a big deal, and if it is, it wasn't the Khmer Rouge's fault, or if it was their fault, they didn't mean to, or if they did mean to the ~~kulaks~~ intellectuals deserved it."

"Khmer Rouge were a CIA psyop, this is all Amerikkka's fault"

BANNED is how they respond to wrongthink

Wait, I've seen this style of reaaoning before...

At least in Norway, Marxist Leninist publicly supported Pol Pot well into the 70s. I would bet on #2, with an added element of whataboutism taking about America's wars.

They like all these people, they'd probably just start masturbating.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Joe Biden made them do it!

[–] quoll@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 months ago

they claim that pol pot wasn't a real communist.

I'm just here for the ensuing internet slapfight.

World isn't federated with Hexbear, thankfully, so there will be no spam of pigs shitting on their own balls or emoji shibboleths here.

So that's why their posts suddenly appeared on my /all after switching to a smaller instance. Before that, I had not fully understood what it was about when those people were mentioned in comment sections.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Terribly annoying, they were. I don't miss them in the least. Members of .ml have good takes at least some of the time - Hexbear are just 4channers wearing red.

[–] MerchantsOfMisery@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are we not on Lemmy.ml? I have no clue how this damn thing works.

[–] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 10 months ago

You're on .ml viewing a post on .world.

[–] pop@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I say, expose all the concealed skeletons of all politicians, whatever brainwashed rhetoric they're pushing. Fuck Mao or Meow or whatever.

is that good enough for you?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We will watch your account with great interest.

(To see if you get banned from anything ml lol)

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Banned, for comments? Is this Reddit? lol

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

Absolutely. Ml is a particularly vindictive instance.

All other things aside, Mao has some legendary lack of chin. Like... Was this just a bad angle? I've only seen missing chins in caricatures and comic book villains.

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Chin game weak

He never had much of a chin, but it seems his photos when he's older it got much worse

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago

Incest.

We got the habsburg chin and the Mao chin

Pol Pot: I now pronounce you Husband and Wife, you may kiss the bride!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Mao clearly indicating he just made a #2.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All great leaders make #2 in their pants!

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

"#2 feels good, I like it." - Wisdom of Mao Zedong

[–] silly_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

At this point in Mao's life, making a nice number 2 would have been a big achievement.

Or it's that rude gesture the Bri'ish do to call each other a cunt.
