Old Soviet/Russian doctrine is to always play both (or all) sides of a conflict

At least they stopped dumping the yellow pages on my porch every year...

Tell me you have no idea how DNS works without saying you have no idea how DNS works.

Heh, you think DNS is bad? Buddy, let me tell you about pig butchering...

Beyond just the general tankiness that others have mentioned, I think the worst thing about Hexbear is how they aggressively claim to be pro-LGBTQ+ while zealously supporting Russia and China, nations which actively persecute anyone who is not hetero-normative. Putin actively jokes about killing homosexuals, and the PRC will black-bag you and put you in a reeducation camp.
I've always felt there was something deeply sinister in this hypocrisy, probably having to do with intentionally targeting marginalized people and attempting to influence and/or radicalize them - your basic cult recruitment tactics.

And now you know why I just said "ok neolib".

It was more then you deserved

They call it Communism. I could name my dog Communism and it would be Communism too. It still wouldn't be communism.

Well then please go edit wikipedia. As well as most political science and philosophy books. Because that's literally how it's defined. Actually they commonly go further classless stateless moneyless. But I digress. I'm not the one pushing GOP or FSB propaganda here.

And they're certainly showing that by their reaction to the election and people asking them to do anything

They constantly shit on trump.
Now I wonder what you think leftism is

TBF there are different types of communism. Marxist, Leninist, State, Libertarian, etc… I don’t know enough about how they all decided to become all these sub-genres, but my basic take is that there’s communism, the kind where workers have the power and the distribution of goods and wealth is shared among society; and then there’s the communism that we all know, the authoritarian regime that controls the classes and distribution of goods and wealth.
Personally I think the latter shouldn’t be called communism at all, it’s a completely different animal than the original idea, but IMO conservative politics have so thoroughly conflated tyrannical state control with communism, along with Stalin’s\Lenin’s authoritarian brutality claiming to be communism, that the two will never be separated.

Yes there are. Specifically I would be a libertarian-congress or an anarco-communist.
However. Regardless of propaganda. One cannot be authoritarian. Or for a strong centralization of authority and State power. And actually be communist. They are conflicting goals. The workers cannot in any meaningful sense control the means of production. When they are oppressed by a dictatorial Vanguard. That imprisons/beats/slaughters any dissenters. The Vanguard owns the means of production in that scenario. They will still tell you that they are you. Even as they strangle and stomp on you. However it's just a sick joke.
Conversely, actual libertarianism. Left libertarianism. Especially the kind advocated for by the originator of libertarianism Dejacque, as well as anarchism. Are in near complete and total harmony with communism. The only rub being how absolute the call from Mutual Aid is and how voluntary it is. Both ideologies being heavily predicated on consent and freedom.

What is with the weirdly shaped emojis.
-
ugh its back
-
Over on the linked page? They've got custom "emojis", which are just pictures uploaded by an admin. Lemmy has that feature in general, but it's not used much on other instances. If it's enabled on your instance, you can type
:to select from all regular emojis plus custom ones. -
I know, but why are they so big.

And IPv6 won’t be that much harder, it’s only… uh… 32 hex digits
I'm still salty that IPv6 is not 6 octets. Six. It's right there in the name. IPv4 is 4 octets!

Oh please. Principles are like asses: everyone's got one, and everyone thinks it's other peoples's that stink.
Many things are worth nil on principle. It's the execution that matters.

You mean the French and Russians didn't own slaves. But the Bolsheviks did kill millions.
[Soviet Genocide and Mass Murder Since 1917]

And in the French revolution, just one single man killed thousands of people.
https://www.worldhistory.org/Reign_of_Terror/
[This led to the enactment of the Law of Suspects, which allowed for the arrests of between 300,000 and half a million citizens nationwide. 16,594 of these 'suspects' were formally executed after a trial, while around 10,000 died in prison, and thousands more were killed in various massacres staged across France. It is estimated that the total death toll during the ten-month Reign of Terror rests anywhere between 30-50,000.]
Did you really think I couldn't back up my statement with facts? How is the Reign of Terror in France and the mass genocide in the USSR in any way "equivalent" to the American and Haitian revolutions?
