Tantrum noted, accepted, and appropriately celebrated.

Sorry but I just learned that sarcasm and jokes are disingenuous so I think I'm gonna spend my time getting upset about things I've never tried to understand instead.
It's 100% my thread, lol. Nothing even remotely threatening, just tantrums and liberals telling on themselves. And all I have to do is ask nicely whether someone has read the basics to have their opinions. The answer is always no, because having opinions is clearly much more valuable than doing anything to earn them.
This works out great for me.
Is reading scary?
It sounds like you get the dumb joke that is my username. Congratulations! With that in mind, perhaps you'd like to take a third try at answering a simple and relevant question?
Have you read Karl Marx's books? Which is your favorite?
Excuse me, officer. I'd like you to arrest this person for JESTING in my thread.
You said yes but didn't answer my question! You've read my books? Which is your favorite?
Hope they do it with the exact same energy: pedantic and cowardly.
This is why all political discussion is banned at lemmy.world. In fact, there is only one community on lemmy.world and it's about playing checkers (but without saying "king me" because kings are political).
Hexbear disabled downvoting because it was being used by transphobes to bully trans users. They'd wait for a trans user to post and then pile on with downvotes so that their comments would always begin in the negative.
lemmy.world can't even be bothered to ban transphobes.
Did you have an opinion on the killings in the Donbas from 2014-2022? People getting locked in a union hall that was set on fire? The promotion of neo-Nazis to "handle" the ethnic Russians there?
Or did you only begin caring about Ukrainian lives when it was 24/7 on Western media, acting like Russia's invasion had no background, like Minsk II never existed, etc?
A follow-up: have you opposed the US-backed Saudi genocide in Yemen with the same ferocity? That one doesn't get as much play in the media, but a child dies there every minute or so due to the US-backed blockade, preventing basics like food from getting to the population.
Yes, of course I think that. Even self-proclaimed Marxists have often barely read Marx, let alone liberals that speak entirely in vagaries.
At best, someone claiming to have "read Marx" has skimmed and misunderstood The Communist Manifesto. That is, incidentally, not a book, more like a slightly extended pamphlet.
I'm guessing you don't talk to people, and haven't read Marx beyond the above description.
