At least they don’t make hidden blocklists to shadownban dissenting opinions. They just dunk on you publicly.
You have been banned from Lemmy.ml
It's crazy to call that dunkimg on somebody. It's the equivalent to having to get rid of a houseplant because your idiot trembling chihuahua is scared of it and pisses on the floor whenever it sees it.
I have a great Modlog, probably the best Modlog in the fediverse. People look at my Modlog and ask: How do you do it sir? That's a beautiful Modlog you have there. My ballroom is gonna be beautiful too.
why do you say this
ML stands for Marxist-Leninist, but in practice it stands for kissing the ass of the dictators in China, Russia and North Korea.
I thought it was the national domain of the Metherlands...???
The Metherlands? That's my new go to for the Missouri boot heel?

"Far left"
"Tankie"
Choose one
The tankies describe themselves as such.
To not be associated with them, more actual far-left adherents need to actively disavow the tankies.
Sorry, that doesn't play into the both-sides false-equivalency rhetoric. Please delete this comment.
Tankies:
Edit: actually i think i wouldn't put them exactly in that X axis position, i am sleepy so ain't gonna try to understand well their exact position so that's good enough

You can be left and authoritarian. At least outside of the US you can, in America all politics get squashed into a single binary choice, so it seems weird.

Almost like the throughline is authoritarianism. They like it when they have control but they don't like it when who they don't like has control.
Honestly, it feels like those with lower iq and less ability to inform themselves are the ones that love authoritarianism. They can't form a coherent ideology and devolve into just trying to control everyone to their underdeveloped beliefs.
That's where the whole bullshit idea of horseshoe theory comes from. It's people leaving out the authoritarian axis because it's beneficial to divide actual leftists and make us seem crazy.
I more and more think that there is just one dimension starting by authoritarian and ending with social.
Faschistst, Tankies, free market libertarians, autocrats and feudalists, are just authoritarians in with different origins. Their team should be in power, their team should be supported by everyone, while they profit from it.
While social people want nobody to suffer, everyone to be in power and have self a determination, etc.

Most people who try to describe their enemy “the left” have about as much brain matter as JFK
I was really expecting you to say RFK with that worm business and all, but either work.
I heard a conservative say the Iran situation is because Trump used to be a democrat and there's still some democrat in him.
A 100% republican would have fixed Iran in 2 weeks.
Damn in hindsight, it's obvious he's a lying piece of shit rapist, but at the time it was obvious too.

I heard recently on a podcast a friend put on after we broke a 'length of time arguing about music' rule that 'horseshoe theory exists and is real, but only for idiots'
This is the truest thing I have ever heard.
My god he is such a cunt. Has anyone asked Dennis Rodman’s opinion on the matter? They both seem to love NK.

Ok, so the basic gist im getting is that he begged sk to help save him from his iran quagmire, and when they rejected he said "ok fu" and took strategic resources (includong air craft carrier) out of the region, which finally reduced the pressure enough to sk to finally request peace from nk without daddy US butting in?
Trump got mad at being rejected, and tried to threaten imperilment, but instead it got nuetralized by peace because the us was holding up nk/sk tensions, especially in the latest while?
If so, this should be the strongest evidence for the technique of dealing with us foriegn deplomacy, just turn the chud down and he'll just give you your soverignty back.
Just stand up to the pretensious bully
Actually I think it's simply that Kim Jong Un says nice things to Trump and is Trump's kind of guy, while his counterpart in SK Lee Jae Myung is a kind of bad ass progressive.
Perhaps someone will be along in a moment to tell me how wrong I am but from wikipedia Myung seems to have a pretty amazing story:
Lee grew up in poverty and often missed social activities because his family lacked the funds, relying on school faculty's support to join field trips and community events. He cited fishing along the creek with friends as one of his favorite pastimes
Like other children from poor families, Lee worked in a handmade necklace factory instead of attending middle school. When the necklace factory went bankrupt, he found work at Dongma Rubber. Because he was underage, he worked under various aliases. While working there, Lee injured his finger
After the first accident, Lee left Dongma Rubber and worked for Daeyang Industry. There, an industrial press crushed his wrist joint in a second injury. The wound went untreated and resulted in a permanent arm disability.
Lee has stated his own experience with severe poverty inspired his political philosophy of "suppressing the strong, helping the weak" (억강부약; 抑強扶弱; eokgangbuyak), which seeks to curb the privileges and excesses of the powerful and support society's poorest members
... [becomes lawyer] ...
After opening his own lawyer's office, Lee organized for labour and human rights with the lawyers' organization Minbyun, working with the heads of labour counselling centers in Incheon and Gwangju. In 1995, he started a civic movement as a founding member of the 'Seongnam Citizens' Association'. He gained fame as a lawyer and social activist in relation to the "Park View" preferential sale case, where an investigation suggested corruption in the awarding of building permits and preferential sales of property in Bundang to government officials.
On 2 January 2024, Lee was stabbed in the left side of his neck while holding a question and answer session with reporters after touring the construction site of a planned new airport located on Gadeokdo in Busan.
Lee gained international attention in 2024 when, after President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law and attempted to stop the National Assembly from convening using the military, he continued to go to the Assembly building anyway. Lee started a livestream on his YouTube channel, recording himself in a car driving to the National Assembly and climbing the National Assembly building fence to bypass the military personnel.

What a guy. I suspect that he is one of the few national leaders who has refused to felate Trump's ego.
North Korea has the files, and are blackmailing Trump with it.
Hackers: You can hack hackers to do the funniest shit in the world, if the Lazarus Group happen to have some unredacted Epstein Files on a computer connected to the net.

And no, Libertarians (with a capital L) and ancaps are not on the "lib" end.

He can't ask his very good friend Kim in NK for assistance with Iran? What is he even trying to say in the message, other than "herpaderp I have dementia"
He's trying to throw S. Korea under the bus cause they refused to help against Iran. Assume "petulant child" and you'll get his intention 90% of the time.
Yes, tankies are fascists and think almost exactly like MAGA.
I'm not sure socialism as a concept even makes sense when used together with authoritarianism. "Far left" looks like it's exclusively a made-up label for some flags the Alt-Right uses.

What Smoke and Mirrors! What bombast! Now release the trump-epstein mp4s and remove the degenerate-in-chief!
I'm so confused by the way he ends so many messages with, "Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Is his brain so thoroughly fried that he can only regurgitate bits of corpo-speak regardless of whether they are applicable?
My headcanon is that someone sent him a letter with that closing 45 years ago and he thought, "That's a classy way to close a letter," so now he always uses it when he wants to feel official.
I also tend to read it as conveying the sentiment, "Please pay attention to me because I fear I will die if you stop paying attention to me."

I'm so confused
Trump begged the South Koreans to join on Trump's Iran war. SK said go pound sand. Trump is throwing a tantrum like the baby he is.
Unthreatening and respectful, they just did a nuclear weapons test like a week ago

How does one get so far left that they are a "tankie"? I feel like I am very left leaning, but I would punch a tankie in the head.
is my understanding wrong? I don't get how you could be "Far Left" (In that they would be against Authoritarian Governments like the Nazis) yet also a "Tankie" (Which embraces and supports Authoritarian Governments).
Help me?
