The “I have two sides” meme. On the left side is someone who looks like a Palestine* terrorist, with the bottom text “In real life”. The right side has the bottom text “Discord”, it’s the right side of the same image.
yeah I did some digging and one of the earlier posts I found of this was back in april 21 and it was much smaller. Definitely seems to be upscaled. Certainly looks fake when you zoom in on this. The Soviet flag actually looks worse in this compared to the other image I saw.
Yeah so apparently it’s a real picture taken quite some time ago that has been upscaled. It looks absolutely horrendous though and 100% fake, especially the parts you highlighted. I guess I’m not terminally online enough to recognize a repost or something, but weirdly enough I’m OK with that.
Look at the other pictures posted in this comment thread. The picture OP used was a particularly terrible version of it for some reason, there are other versions that don’t look nearly as bad.
Republicans love de facto gun control. They’ll have the cops kill every armed PoC no matter how lawfully they were armed, and then acquit the killer cops.
We’re long past soap box and poll box, the fascists are using the jury box, and you’d have us give those same fascists exclusive rights to the ammo box.
Disarming the public can only be beneficial in a functioning democracy. The people to whom you’d give exclusive access are the same people who are currently murdering us.
Tbh I expected more Czechs that there are here, I think there were more at the start but they left, sad, we also get everywhere like Germans do, but we don’t show it
Right, it makes sense to me now. The double “as” was definitely confusing, but “identified” instead of “named” immediately made the sentence clear. Thanks.
I was actually refering to the headline in the picture but yeah this is an interesting piece of information too, I know the post’s title was sarcastic but didn’t know it was such a thoughtful joke haha
How can my instance be fascist or even anti-communist when most people here are leftist anarchists? We’re anti-tankie, not anti-communist. Also it’s blåhaj, not blahaj.
Ive been called a Tankie multiple times for merely advocating for class conciousness and calling out Capitalist Hypocrisy, I also left Lemmygrad when then deleted a comment i made arguing that voting for the lesser of 2 evils is the best course of action to protect the Prolitariat in the rising wave of transphobia and bigoty in the West. The same way blahaj zone deleted my comment with hundreds of up votes under the “kick Tankies out of 196” post calling them out for being explicitly anti Tankie, while they dont even define what they mean by tankie, which can be used to define any person with communistesc ideologies. Fascism rose to power in Europe 90 years ago on the back of anticommunist rhetoric, and easily took power because Communists were the loudest voices of opposition. Not calling Blahja zone explicitly fascist, merely pointing out how anticommunist rhetoric is a rallying cry for Fascists, BECAUSE IT IS.
I really think it is quite unfortunate how much grad/hex tainted communism. I’m not a communist, but I was open to good discussions about it, particularly because I know it’s important to look at the flaws in your own systems.
Now? I’m scarred. I can’t just assume a post js something posted by someone I could probably agree with after a discussion.
I assume something similar has happened to other users. It’s unfortunately hard to grant someone the grace of assume they aren’t a tankie when you know they’re out there. I feel your pain and I’m sorry. I also don’t know how any of us can change now.
The far left on Lemmygrad that advocate against voting feels like an effort by bad faith actors to help Republicans win in 2024 and enact their plan to competely gut America’s representative Democracy, which isnt a conspiracy theory, there are receipts. youtu.be/9k3UvaC5m7o?si=00aMWYfamDiFyfAe
Same, I usually don’t really participate but I love seeing people discuss political opinions objectively and willing to learn.
But hex\grad people were always “What do you mean [any post] isn’t political??!?! It’s clearly political because [absolutely unreasonable reason]”
The ragebait/sea lioning was getting too much. Eventually my mailbox was full of those trolls so I just went on a different instance that had both banned and I’m a lot happier. On the downside it’s now closer to an echo chamber but I guess I’ll just browse the memes and random crap then. I can work with that…
calling them out for being explicitly anti Tankie, while they dont even define what they mean by tankie, which can be used to define any person with communistesc ideologies
You know damn well that in leftist communities “tankie” does not mean “any person with communist ideology”. You’re being disingenuous and then feigning outrage when nobody takes the bait. You don’t need a dictionary definition to understand the sentiment being expressed, and the attempt to get one is just a distraction where people start quibbling over the exact specifics instead of the overall intent, which is opposition to authoritarians and state simps.
I really don't fucking get those people. Yeah, Stalin was awful, but communism isn't. It seems like they don't really know what they're angry at. China? 🤷♀️
Thanks for sharing that, even despite the uncontrollable facepalm that resulted. What's terrible is that despite the fact that this artist is so crazy and racist, his art is actually pretty good.
