yeah. not good at all, I’m not comfortable with it. I don’t understand people who have access to information on the internet and deny anything obvious, no matter whether it’s flat earthers, genocide deniers or ufo believers. how can a brain be this disfunctional?

but at least one is internally consistent until then…

Having to do the mental gymnastics required to make China not commit genocide does not suggest internal consistency…

I’d rather have open source, decentralized software be developed by none of those groups/slimy individual. Doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Since you didn’t notice that in that post /u/parentis_shotgun claims to have made Jerboa and links to it - which links to github.com/dessalines/jerboa - you’re not very observant so I’ll provide you with some alternative posts as evidence.

Step 1) Visit /u/parentis_shotgun’s profile

Step 2) Old PgDn to load some posts. Find the one that says nothing but “Yes” on it. This post specifically.

Step 3) Click Context to see which question it is answering

Step 4) Read the question: “Wait a second, are you the same dessalines that narrated my The State and Revolution by Lenin and Fascism: What it is and how to fight it by Trotsky?”

Step 5) See /u/parentis_shotgun’s response: “Yes.”

“Misinformation”.

Ask yourself: What exactly do you get out of defending Tankies?

Alternative route #1: Find parentis_shotgun’s post about creating thumb-key - a privacy-conscious Android keyboard made for your thumbs. Notice it links to a Github profile for dessalines.

Alternative route #2: Find this post where they keep their “communist 101s” on dessalines.github.io/essays/

Please stop spamming this in the thread, it’s annoying af.

Sometimes people just like spreading drama. Other times they just have weird or different beliefs. Accusing someone of having ulterior motives isn’t useful or helpful unless you can demonstrate that this person isn’t just having an internet debate that they feel strongly about.

How about Lemmy.world? Whichgroupss will they influence mostly?

A lot of big communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. They have influence there.

You even get a second reply. Because…

Even if there wasn’t enough evidence that dessalines is parentis_shotgun - it doesn’t matter! dessalines does not deny being a Tankie and makes no efforts to hide their political thoughts. You can go to lemmy.ml and read through dessalines posts. Find the one where they say “I’m not exactly hiding my politics” and link to their essays on Github. Or you can just go to the essays from their Github profile after confirming that the dessalines that is a Lemmy dev is the same dessalines that is admin on Lemmy.ml and find the link to their essays that way.

There you can see they attempt to answer many questions. Some generic to Communism - but many more defending Tankie talking points such as:

Did the Soviet Union manufacture a famine in Ukraine? What about the Holodomor?

Where they link to articles that deny the genocide.

And also defend Stalin by linking to revisionist propaganda:

What about Stalin? Didn’t he kill millions?

And deny that the Cheka secret police murdered millions of people as ordered by The State:

Did the Soviet Union repress and kill millions of people?

They deny the Tiananmen Square massacre - calling it a propaganda hoax:

What about the Tiananmen square massacre?

Their defense of China’s 1-child policy? “60,000,000 girls weren’t killed from infanticide. Only 35,000,000 were.” and they provide no other explanation for the severe gender imbalance that China has:

Did China really kill / commit infanticide on millions of girls during the 1-child policy?

There isn’t any need to prove that dessalines is parentis_shotgun in order to claim that dessalines is a Tankie. dessalines is very openly a Tankie. One only needs to read the political thoughts that they openly share.

I agree with you yet I was not completely clear : I meant to say that lemmygrad.ml are fighting that.

Yeah, honestly, these NED guys seem really cool based on the wikipedia article. It’s nice to find out my tax dollars are actually supporting something positive every now and again :)

I never said anything about that person, your copy/paste comment is not relevant to what I said. I don’t hate the devs, I said the comments section of the post that was linked to is a dumpster fire of tankies and genocide apologists.

I’m referring to the comments section on the post he linked to, where half the comments are tankies trying to defend the actions of the admins who were banning users and calling them racist for criticizing the CCP/Kremlin.

The way it works in practice is that the largest instances are where most people go. What is stopping those devs from imposing their views on the community, e.g. by censoring?
