Since this is an anarchist instance, I was willing to give OP the benefit of a doubt that this is against states in general but, alas, reading their comments it is whataboutism
i’m getting close to blocking. their behavior i feel violates rule 6 (or 7 i can’t see the sidebar on mobile) that users of this community should not deify past socialist experience. they have demonstrated a pattern of behavior that strongly favors imperialism with a veneer of leftist aesthetic. the mods ignoring this pattern in the face of reports has left a really bad taste in my mouth that’s been slowly driving me away from dbzer0 and anarchist.nexus, two of my former favorite instances aside from my own here at slrpnk.net.
totalitarian authoritarian regimes are what socialism and communism are meant to be an alternative to, not something we should celebrate as long as they wear a red coat of paint. it’s been very dissapointing as the rules of this communicate that this is supposed to be a generally left comm but more and more it’s just !memes@lemmy.ml but on another instance
Yes I do feel leftymemes @ dbzer0 unfortunately has a sizeable ML influence.
The main mod of this community actually does some soviet union apologia I think. Which means the rules 6 basically isnt followed while they’re in charge.
Keep in mind, nobody has been able to cite a single comment of mine that has “deified” anything. I have never praised Stalin (go check my comment history), however I have merely pointed out the success of the USSR. Big fucking deal lol.
Honesty hilarious and ironic to see this level of panic and censorship over a mere difference of opinion, while crying about the authoritarianism of China and Stalin.
Oh no, you found me! I wasn’t hiding good enough apparently. In fact I wasn’t hiding at all lol. I just commented unter a top level comment that seemed topical. Hiding would maybe be posting a screenshot somewhere else.
And no, I’m not going to argue. Arguments with tankies don’t really lead anywhere. See this as a win, I don’t care
I defaulted on a loan and my credit score dropped down to 500. Still being chased by the debt collectors a year later and it’s gone back up to 700 by itself. I have no credit cards or anything. The whole thing is a joke.
I don’t think many people in the West like credit score system either tbh

In another thread they were praising Stalin so I don’t think they deserve benefit of the doubt.

It’s really only 2 or 3 users (who I think are mods or admins) that are pushing the tankie trash.
db0 the admin seems alright, so I’m not sure why they allow this behavior here.

Pretty embarrassing for you guys.
I’m calling your bluff
You heard it folks. Saying that Stalin was a communist is now “praise”. Great work fella 🤣
Totally not praise. /s
Feel free to respond to my comments if you wanna argue against them. Not sure why you’re hiding over here lol.

Lot of people defending it though
“It’s not that bad 700 score is easy to get”
I defaulted on a loan and my credit score dropped down to 500. Still being chased by the debt collectors a year later and it’s gone back up to 700 by itself. I have no credit cards or anything. The whole thing is a joke.
I haven’t seen that online tbh
I’ve heard it enough in person
“Just do a bank credit program. You give them $500 you don’t have and…” Fuck off
That sounds more like people coping with the system than endorcing it. “It is what it is” of course is counterproductive to dismantling it.
