They are joke? Where is punchline?

That’s extremely petty.

Because it’d mean you’re power tripping? You made a strawman argument and rightfully got told off for it, completely ignoring your own rule of “be respectful”. You have a responsibility as a mod of this community to be better than that.

That wasn’t a word salad. It’s perfectly coherent, even if you don’t want to acknowledge it.

I guess you could say that? If it means that we aren’t being slaves to an “upper class” for their benefit only while they fuck us all over, then yes.

I don’t know what either of those mean, I don’t delve much into theory. I want billionaires and shareholders to not exist, for workers to run the businesses they work for instead of making shareholders rich off their labour, and for taxes to go towards education, healthcare and social benefits instead of military spending and excessive police funding. I wouldn’t be sad if capitalism as a whole died, frankly. It’s done enough damage.

Nope. You’re only a tankie if you blindly support authoritarian regimes and refuse to acknowledge the atrocities they commit. As an example, denying the Tiananmen Square massacre, denying human rights abuses and horrid living conditions in North Korea, or supporting Russia in its invasion and attempted genocide of Ukraine and its people.

Hexbear is a silly place. You need not worry about what they think, they’re very isolated and are similarly authoritarian to the .ml instances.

Cowardly. They can’t handle dissent, so they ban you for challenging their ideas. There’s only one acceptable position there, and that’s being a full-throated tankie who professes that authoritarian regimes and the atrocities they commit are A-OK as long as they’re opposed to the West while doing so.

.ml isn’t tolerant towards other ideologies or beliefs. If it isn’t full-throated support for authoritarian regimes, then it’s considered a bannable offense, even if you support actual socialism or communism. Note that your ban was very likely from the admins themselves, as the moderators hardly do any banning there compared to Dessalines and Davel.

Maybe in 10 years they will. Dessalines is far too busy wasting time constantly banning people for disagreeing with him or criticizing his favourite regimes instead of developing his platform. There’s a reason Piefed is overtaking Lemmy in development speed and quality.

Okay, I’ll gladly block another authoritarian bootlicker! :D

He appears on TV because that’s been the main way to reach Americans enmasse for decades. Not everyone is on the internet 24/7 or watches independent media. Yes, the people who own and run these stations are not good people, but that does not change who Bernie is.

Now for the real question: Why do you assume everyone who appears on cable news is automatically a fascist? What is it about an interview over the news that makes Bernie’s entire past (again, 60 years, dude. Cable TV didn’t exist back then) as someone who fights for the working class suddenly irrelevant? Are you going to claim that a 9 year old who wins a spelling bee is a fascist because they appeared on their local news channel to celebrate? Is a local soup kitchen run by fascists because the news did a story on them?

Do you even have a clue how unreasonable your position is here?

Oh, yes. The person who has been on the side of the working class who has fought for civil and worker’s rights for 60 years is totally a fascist plant. Were you dropped on your head as a child? It’s okay, you can be honest.

That user has been through hundreds upon hundreds of accounts doing exactly that for well over a year. They’re not mentally stable.

That blinking is a good thing. That means that the bulb is running on a pre-heat starter, which gets the electrodes hot before sending full voltage through the fixture. This greatly extends the light’s lifespan. The modern “rapid start” and “instant start” starters just do the shotgun approach of forcing a ton of voltage through the tube, which succeeds in instantly starting it but also blasts off some of the emissive coating on the filaments. A tube running on one of those starters will fail a lot faster and the ends of the tubes will blacken quickly from the coating.

Even if so (I don’t know this user or their beliefs), what does that have to do with the current discussion? All I can see is you going full aggro against them completely unprompted. You addressed nothing about what they said, just immediately leaped to insults and accusations. The fact you didn’t bother checking your spelling just makes you look like you saw this user and just went off on them without a second thought out of anger. This is something I have seen you do time and time again.

All the more reason why corporate news cannot be trusted and independent media organizations are the future. We can’t rely on compromised, corrupt media who have bent the knee to this administration.

Common mrdown L. Learn how to spell, buddy.

I love you too, Yanky-poo!
