Thanks, I have received almost nothing but warm welcome here and I have very warm feelings for Lemmygrad in general. Online activities are not enough to judge it, but I feel like some of us here would make good friends, if I may being corny for a moment. I like to joke that Lemmygrad members should form an international ML party.

That's where my policy of being kind to people with opposing views ends. GTFO
😆 🖤 (actually it's sad)
What do people even like about the "values" represented by "The West"? I was never disillusioned by this, even long before being interested in communism. The US is the pinnacle of hypocrisy and violence and it's obvious for anyone who tries to learn from anything more than pro-US media.
Of course, I've heard that even though there is false propaganda in the US/Europe, the Russian, Chinese and other propaganda is much worse, that there is only violence and lies - but what is it if not racism? There are countless examples of violence at home, you have to be blind to not see it.
I mean mostly the US that I'm not a citizen of, but there is similar mentality in my country, too.
Why assume the whole world is wrong and only WE have anything that resembles democracy, that only WE have the right to decide what is good and what is bad, that only WE are advanced culture and all others are barbarians, willing to jump on us if we don't keep the whole world in check? The imperialism mentality is truly horrible.
Eh...
Good luck changing anything in this world in bourgeois democracy if you're not wealthy and influential... It's a dictatorship of capitalist class, not more nor less.
Yep. Why make things worse than they already are?
Agreed. I would add that even stupid views should be challenged with basic respect for the person, at least as long as they seem to ask genuine questions. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish if they come in good faith, but other people following the discussion might learn something instead of getting the negative impression on us.
That's why Lemmygrad is my chill space. I recommend avoiding unnecessary lib brainrot for the sake of your own mental health. Maybe there is a need to tell people what Marxism-Leninism actually is and what is is not, but I think that spending too much time arguing with libs online is a waste. I salute my comrades with nerves of steel, though, if they can do it and not go insane.
Good decision. I blocked most "Shit X says" and drama communities, but it's still everywhere and I'm starting to get sucked into that anyway. Time to log off, I guess.
They just skimmed over the title. It's all in their heads. Their either lie to defame us or have no idea what really happened.
Oh, I see. Thanks
