    lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad users verbally fellate contemporary and historical autocratic mass-murderers they deem to be “leftists”, or “great leaders and allies to the cause”, most recently being Vladimir Putin, Xi Jingping, and Kim Jong Un.

    They are, in reality, bitch-made invertebrates who don’t even have the arm-strength to lift their Molotov-sippy-cups out of their premium-outdoor-brand backpacks, let alone form meaningful opinions on economics, political philosophy, or geopolitical reality.

      Damn it all. They didn’t disclose how I was supposed to behave during the sign up process.

        Yeah it’s a big trick because the ML owners are Tankie scum but they’re also the lead developers and I think the own the page which recommends instances.

        Pound, check out Markdown syntax somewhere online. There’s a ton of different flavors, but most of the basics (headings/bold/italics/links/etc) are the same.

      So, tankies? At first I got attracted by the leftist/communist/socialist branding of the instance, but at the time the concept of fediverse was too complex for me when I first registered there so I deleted my account. I’m glad I did, then lol, supporting Putin, Xi, Kim just because they are “the left” is like supporting Hitler just because he is “the right”.

      So I’m 100% on board with most of what you said but… What on earth does ‘bitch-made’ mean? It’s setting off my women-hating red flags.

      I googled it and scrolled down and got some garbage about a man raised by women, so I have concerns.

        Bitch-made, in the literal sense, as in “of ill birth from a mangy female dog”.

        I have heard it used in common street language where I’m from from both men and women, gay and straight.

          I appreciate your vehemence and the vigor with which you make your point, and also agree with your point. I only had issue with that particular insult because in my culture, it does initially read as misogynist. I figured I’d ask if you meant it that way because you probably didn’t.

        I agree, I don’t particularly care about shitting on Putin or any other world leader, it’s the thinly veiled misogyny/whatever at ‘enemies’ broadly with people gleefully encouraging it which makes me respond negatively

          Diva, we disagree on a lot of things, and we agree on others, which makes you (genuinely) so much fun for me to see in a thread.

          I just told people on another thread that (because of my trauma background) I don’t feel anger very often, which means I appreciate folks like you (and conversely, maybe, Rusty here) because I see you leap straight to it with abandon.

          I guess what I’m saying is, it takes all kinds to make a world, and I’m glad you’re in it.

      More of this weird mythological fearmongering. Absolutely nobody on any of those sites believe that Vladimir fucking Putin is a leftist. You are pulling this assertion straight from an uninformed ass.

        I’m gonna show your comment to my wife, and one of my best friends, at whose gay wedding, I will be speaking. Congrats! You’re in the speech! Let’s face it, we all need to laugh more in life, and judging by your reaction, I prefer to do it at your expense.

        So please, cry harder, because I need more material!

        🫶🏽🥂

          ‘jokes on you, I have gay friends’

          -the person posting homophobia

          maybe you should read your comments first at your hypothetical wedding, see how it goes over.

                Everybody hear that? All fellatio is automatically gay. Anybody recieving or giving is gay, there is no such thing as a straight man and woman using their mouth during sex.

                Follow Diva for more Kremlin certified intercourse tips, and if you don’t follow Putin’s demands you will be sent to labor camps.

                  It’s true. Pretty sure I read that on an Andrew Tate post before I left Twitter, I believe he is some kind of gay authority?

                As I’ve said before, it doesn’t matter if you suck dick or not. It does matter whose dick your sucking (proverbially), which in this case would be Putin, Jingping, et. al.

                    “wHaTaBoUt USA, iSrAeL, nAtO, etc.?”

                    One can hate “The West”, their people, their foreign policy, and their economics.

                    Doesn’t mean one should suck dictators’ proverbial dicks because they’re “not The West”.

                  ML has the reputation it does because most westerners believe the red scare propaganda.

                  most arguments against it by the aforementioned people have a shaky connection to reality at best.

                    ML has the reputation it does because most westerners believe all the red scare propaganda.

                    No, it really is mostly the dog-shit method of interacting you’ve seen above. That and yelling yourselves it’s the propaganda and not your complete lack of social skills that are the problem

            maybe you should read your comments first at your hypothetical wedding, see how it goes over.

            I intend to! What a perfect moment to highlight the exploits of edgelords on the internet. I’m sure I’ll be strenuously heckled and ostracized for condemning and deriding supporters of Putin, the CCP, and the DPRK on the internet there.

            It’s in June, back home in Chicago, so it’ll be a joyous affair, of which you’re an expert of, no doubt.
