He also claimed that China killed Punjab independence activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, despite all evidence pointing to India
I got into a fairly in depth conversation with one of them where they explained that they believed that the suspension of freedom, suppression of speech and expression, and sustained authoritarianism were necessary to achieve the socialist utopia. Except worse, they believe that these bad things should be in place until the entire world was socialist. If even one country wasn’t socialist, that would be the justification for suppression on the rest of the entire world. So essentially they’re defending worldwide authoritarianism and suppression of everyone in perpetuity.
Close to correct. There is a missing element though. When this user says “suppression of everyone” what we actually mean is repression of capitalists, their property, and their ability to use their property to exert power in the form of information and social manipulation.
This liberal is twisting “we want to repress the capitalists” into “we want to repress everyone”, it’s a very typical liberal framing of themselves being for freedom and their enemies being for the opposite. They avoid saying who the freedom is for or who the repression is for and just say it’s everyone when it’s not.
“Freedom—yes, but for whom? To do what?” as Lenin put it.
We aren’t even changing the structures of authoritarianism in the state. We’re just changing their targets from proles to bourgeoisie. It’s the same authoritarian state infrastructure the capitalists created themselves to repress us in the first place.
The “muh free speech!” argument is nonsense already. We already limit freedom of speech and that’s a good thing. Distributing or consuming CSAM would fall under “free speech.” Posting this dork’s name, address, and social security number online without any intent to sell it is “free speech.” Try scanning classified information you found in someone’s desk at Langley, post it online, and see how much the US government cares about your “free speech.”
Protecting people from doxxing, profane films/pictures, and misinformation is good, actually. And you won’t find a government anywhere, ever, who is fine with you doing recreational espionage.
Someone spam this person’s inbox with Goatse and call it “free speech.”
Taylor, melt this guy’s balls off with spider venom
Bro you can’t say shit on wider Lemmy without capitalists scrambling to defend their westoid brains. I said Mao was right about Landlords, like anybody fucken on Poor Nerd Town is a landlord, and bitches came scrambling out the woodworks to be like “ERM Axkshualky, killing people that hoard necessary resources is bad.” Man, shut your bitch ass up this is why the world sucks, cause most people let shitty people be shitty.
Liberals: If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever…and you’ll just take it because doing anything would be just as bad as the guy with the boot!
This is my Legion of Doom dream movie (or hell, gimme the comix)
Please ignore that global violence and repression was used to impose the current world order, which rests on inequality. Using violence and repression to impose a new world order based on equality is bad, actually.
Casual “pronouns are dumb” type transphobia up in that thread too.
i think they should be punished for talking like this, maybe i can use my supervillain powers to do it
What’s your supervillain power?
Is it lasers?
Please tell me it’s lasers
suggestion, i can tell my enemies to drive into the sea and recruit any police they send after me
Sure, you build one giant Death Fortress and everyone starts calling you a supervillain
And let me guess. Neo-nazis and KKK members are squeaky clean despite their explicit ideology being to indiscriminately kill anyone who isn’t them just for shits and giggles.
They’re an evil and immutable force of nature that arises from the darkness of men’s hearts or some shit, but if you raise a hand against them then you’re actually a violent lesser being of the same type.
Fascists: Muh rights are being infringed!
Um, what rights are those?
Fascists: My ability to oppress and kill anyone I don’t like without retribution!
And it’s hilarious how they think they can possibly be oppressed.
Bro, you’re a fascist. You’re literally an all-powerful war god. You go berserker mode and effortlessly slaughter everyone who has ever told you to stop.
Biggest demographic being male or female and white, but we’re a repressed minority (or in the eyes of “White Replacement Theory” being replaced and slowly marginalized until we disappear and there’s only brown people!)
