Probably more fitting for !fediverselore@lemmy.ca as the mod didn't actually take any specific mod action. But other than that, from what I see it's either CLM, or coward mod?

There's no point appealing to the fascists. They prefer the better fascist.

Holy shit. They are just cartoonishly evil now.

Do not downvote because this is a reddit post. This is allowed.

It's almost impossible to determine bots nowadays. They're better at solving captchas than humans.

None. There's no good ones. There's at best acceptable ones

Interesting. There's a reply from mastodon.social which went to piefed.social but didn't reach this instance so it's not not visible anywhere except your instance.

Which is probably why the lemmy UI started getting randomly overwhelmed from AI scraping bots :S

eh, ddg is just bing. Only marginally better ideologically, and probably worse practically.

Eh, most of them haven’t actually read the source material they claim. I have run into a bunch of cases where they seem to have not even read the entire essay they are citing and are only familiar with a particular passage (the one with the best fan service.)

This becomes hilariously obvious when they straight up bring up "On Authority" as an argument, one of the worst socialist essays ever written.

Found some discussion on hexbear where dbzer0 was once more found to be living rent-free in their heads, but it got me thinking:

I find it telling that tankies will constantly prattle about "critical-support" of fascist chuds like Asad, and red-fash regimes like North Korea, or more often, just unironically bring up bog-standard SocDem capitalism like China as "Actually Existing Socialism" (AES), but will immediately marginalize, dehumanize or expel from their spaces anarchists who don't support AES, or who support market-based forms of socialism (such as mutualism).

Likewise, why not give "critical support" to other SocDems for their good policies? (note, I don't support socdems in either liberal-capitalist of state-capitalist form, I'm just asking questions, philosophically)

I can't quite put into words why this bothers me, but I suspect it's due to the usual hypocrisy I see from them. What do you think of this phenomenon?

Google search is complete shite nowadays. We're just lucky nobody is advertising for those keywords.

Wrote this a while ago, but someone just brought back the same tired argument 16 years later (goddamn!) so I felt it was a good time to repost.
