I’m astonished at how sensitive the mods must be over there.
Apparently you’re allowed to say whatever baseless slander you like about the eeeeevil tankies but the minute someone says “Hold up a sec, you claim to be anti-authoritarian and yet you support authoritarianism either explicitly or implicitly?” and they have to shut it down immediately.
Regardless, I think I made a pretty solid counterargument to the typical complaint about communism being authoritarian.
Mfers skim read the Wikipedia entry on Hannah Arendt and start thinking they’re justified in slinging accusations about “muh authoritarianism” smh.
I still see it on there. But I barely understand how this site works to be honest. Am dum millenial here
Oh that’s really weird, it’s not showing up for me when I go into that thread? (Hence why I had to paste a screenshot of my comment and edit it into the image.)
Looks like you’re in a dum millenial contest but your opponent is me 💀
Edit: If I type the hyperlink in your screenshot into my browser, I can access the comment - but it looks like it’s only visible from the lemmygrad end or something? I wonder if federation works bi-directionally and one side has defederated but lemmygrad hasn’t or something like that? Weird.
Edit 2: Damn, this gets weirder. Different instances show different comments — some comments are consistently shown across instances, some comments only appear on certain instances, and the up/downvote counts are wildly different across the instances too. One comment will be at -5 on one instance and yet it will be at +7 on another.
Does it say, ‘removed by mod’ on lemmy.ml?
If not, it may be a bug or maybe you blocked the user? Blocking a user hides all comments that branch off from that user’s comments.
If it was removed by a mod, it could be due to the perceived call for violence. Depending on the mods location, that kind of thing can result in unwanted attention.
This is where it gets weird.
I’m using Connect on android and my instance is Lemmygrad.ml (which is what the app says I’m connecting via when I go to the thread) but when I copy-paste a permalink to the top-level comment my browser directs me to an instance that is discuss.tchncs.de (?) and my comment isn’t shown nor is there a message stating that it’s been removed.
When I access the comment thread via my browser and manually navigating to it from lemmy.ml, I can see my comment in the thread (plus a lot more comments) and the vote counts for comments that span both of these instances are significantly different. The same goes for navigating to lemmygrad.ml.
killing enough people so there’s enough to go around
You see stupid tankie, material wealth is just a big limited pile of stuff that is just there to take, so less people = more for everyone, easy! 🤡
Libs:
“Chiner killed a bunch of its own people and that’s how they lifted themselves out of extreme poverty!!”
Also libs:
“Chiner is sitting on a demographic timebomb [which is false, btw] which will cause their population to crash and it will tank their economy!!”
Is the demographic timebomb thing not true? Isn’t it happening to S Korea and Japan RN? China is promising but it’s not immune from hard expectations like those two nations and crushing city labor, how will China avoid the demographic timebomb from a Marxist perspective?
