The meme is not abusive but it does describe a cruel and illogical behavior rife in this thread.

A behavior in support of genocide, no less.

Of course! I enjoy explaining things. It helps internalize them and to make sure whether I really know something or just remember the key takeaways. Sometimes I have to say, "I don't know" and go re-read some books...

Let's keep fighting the good fight!

Their website is full of language implying it is about Gen Zers standing up for themselves. Lots of We's and US's.

Based solely on appearances most of the people listed on that page are millennials or older lmao

Their org page has all the trappings of a typical Dem "think tank" / trough feeder org. Looking to get in in that sweet graft.

The Kyiv regime most definitely kidnaps people on the streets. Wherever they can find them, really. It's conscription.

South Koreans are effectively banned from taking positions that deviate very much from certain state lines. The state suppresses "sympathy" with the DPRK or its party, reading any books from the DPRK, discussion of certain histories out of line with the state, including the history of Japanese colonization and Korean comfort women, and media are widely censored.

The official state line is that the South wants "reunification", but as described it is really the South taking over the entire peninsula. This maximalist position gained steam after the fall of the USSR, when the US instituted harsh sanctions and eliminated their primary trading partner, turning the North, which had previously economically outperformed the South, into a depression with fuel and food scarcity. This is where mean-spirited jokes about poor North Koreans come from. It can be challenging to get accurate ideas of the sentiments of average South Koreans due to the censorship laws but historically the wider public has wanted a peaceful reunification, including the proposal of the DPRK to have one country with two systems. This has been repeatedly rejected by the ROK state.

Historically and globally, liberalism is the dominant political ideology of capitalism. It supports capitalism against all other economic systems, whether that is feudalism or socialism. While it has framed itself as liberatory and egalitarian, and is arguably so in Europe for Europeans when compared to the feudalism it displaced, it has also always been in the context of colonialism, slavery, genocide, and imperial war, so it is not exactly inherently progressive or the "good guys".

Both the Democrats and GOP are liberal parties. They explicitly support capitalism. Liberalism established the race rules that both the GOP and Democrats internalize and propagate, of course the the GOP being more openly racist and Democrats hiding behind euphemisms and forms of oppression that they normalize, e.g. funding the shit out of cops and going all-in on nationalism. They are just different flavors of the same dominant ideology and they gladly join hands to crush the left when it threatens to gain political power by any means.

Uh... I am the decider of what I identify as tired unfunny memes. Nothing wrong with that!

[-] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 days ago

There is a list of people I have radicalized, actually.

And obviously this is not an echo chamber. Tell people not to vote for a blue team genocider and libs freak out.

The largest Lemmy instance is the most boring, full of unfunny memes and the worst Redditor culture. What you want is high quality postrs, not simply more people!

As Lenin said: better fewer, but better.
