TraitorToAmerica

you... opened my profile... and didn't read my bio? "so it’s clear: I primarily use lemmygrad, I am not trying to hide this". so I'm a grad "alt" whatever that even means, what is this weird obsession about people having accounts on different instances

additionally, I've made multiple comments in this very thread about it:

I think my comments have been too ambiguous then, I didn’t mean for anything I’ve said to come across as hostile in any way, I apologize. I’m a lemmygrad user, made this account because I browse through .ml at work and been meaning to make one so i can comment while there.

I’m a grad user not a hexbear user but views are pretty much the same, I’ll say here: it matters a ton in the thread and way in which you tried to do this. if you give the slightest hint that you’re asking questions in bad faith, they’re going to pounce on you, because communists online constantly have to deal with bad faith trolls. There are an extremely small number of communists in the west, we are outnumbered basically everywhere online and in real life, so we are naturally protective of the very few places where we hold the majority opinion.

I’m not gonna go looking for your interactions with hexbear to actually see but I’ll answer any questions you have right now. also, you haven’t been banned or had any action taken against you by hexbear mods at all. you could always pose respectful questions in one of their general mega threads, or in ask chapo

easily the most baffling comment I've received today what are you trying to say???

hmm I see. honestly used to love surfing it really pisses me off that they fucked it up so badly and didn't fix it before forcing everyone onto it but it is what it is I guess

By “neat and easy” I mean, “The root of all evil is capitalism and we solve that with revolution”.

this isn't what we believe once again. class society predates capitalism. you know nothing of marxist thought but arrogantly assign beliefs to us, but once again that is not "black and white thinking" on your part. we believe revolution is the solution because we believe that all evidence shows that the bourgousie will not let us take power peacefully, just like the bourgousie were forced to use violence to take power when they were oppressed by the aristocratic class. this is baby baby basic marxism and you don't even know this and yet you deign to talk down on us? it's pathetic, truly.

“This person thinks this, so I will assign these other views to them as well, so that I may dunk on them”.

this is a thing literally everyone on the planet does. When you see someone say they think gay people should die, is it unreasonable to presume they are a reactionary conservative and assume they have other wack beliefs? I see you making a smug liberal enlightened centrist argument, and thus I assume you are a smug liberal with similar beliefs. Why would I put the effort into getting your opinion on every single topic. why would you do the same for mine? that's why you call me a tankie, isn't it? there is someone I got into a slap fight up with further in the thread that is a liberal and tried to make me mad by saying that putin "fucked male prostitutes". he assumed I would care because I am a "tankie". Do I see smug pricks like yourself going around calling his ass a cultist? No!

They feed off of righteous anger at the state of the world, and promise neat, easy solutions

communists don't think there are "neat, easy solutions" this is fundamentally a misunderstanding of our positions. this is the entire point behind why people constantly accuse tankies of being bootlickers and what not: we think transforming the world will be hard, and will involve making harder decisions than me you or anyone else on this website has ever or probably will ever have to make, and that mistakes that socialist states make in these circumstances are entirely understandable even though they are tragic. Of course, socialist states are evil or something which is totally not black and white thinking by your side, of course. America's enemies are totally doing worse things than america does which has very nuanced and reasonable reasons for overthrowing democratically elected socialist leaders or invading countries and killing millions of people to stop communism or even just general anti-colonial governments and replacing them with fascists and socialists and other anti-imperialists are evil barbarians with no nuanced reasons to try to use whatever methods they can to stop them. why am i arguing with such an obviously bad faith person what is wrong with me

i thought the ramp bugs are because people have only used auto tools to convert them for the most part and new maps with ramps dont have them

likely to force the community into playtesting cs2, if they had left csgo up it probably would have split the playerbase at first and they wanted everyone on the new game playtesting it

I think the port (and even just railways) argument is a little poor, imperialists absolutely build big and good ports so they can efficiently extract a country's resources, and use railways to connect the inland mines and what not to the ports. Basically, both China and the west have built railways in the global south, but the real difference comes from when you look at a map of the railways built: the west has always built railways nearly exclusively from inland at the locations of mining towns and towns located near other valuable resources to heighten the efficiency of their resource extraction but China builds railroads from inland city to inland city and from port to port, making internal economic development easier and easier for the country.

this is very strange reasoning to me, posting on a post you see scrolling through all is now bad because... other hexbears already got there first and you dont want to be annoying? what the hell?

it's not even material analysis so much as a complete lack of creativity. again, they are so fucking boring and unimaginative, I feel like I have deja vu everytime I even get into a slapfight like this where we're not arguing anymore just hurling jabs and dunks and what not

kinda sad really it's all so boring and it's all just the same conversations with libs like this over the internet, they say china is collapsing i make fun of them for being an acolyte of gordon chang, they call president xi winnie the pooh I point out it's a really old boring joke that smacks of racism, can't they come up with something new for once?
