Are there any physical obstructions between the controller and the antenna? That’d reduce the effective range.

Ancaps: Government is bad because tyranny, we should get rid of it.

Also Ancaps: Here’s how we can still enforce copyright, abortion bans, and racial segregation without a government! 🥰

I love these memes that turn into threads full of vim tips. You really can do anything within vim. You can even exit vim!: !killall vim

Huh, I’m going to have to try that at some point. It’s even got nim support.

Link for the lazy

Interesting. I was thinking more of gray area stuff than outright lying, like playing up the importance of facts that support one’s position and downplaying those that don’t.

I read somewhere a while back that it’s supposedly an evolutionary thing. In a social competition for resource allocation, confidently arguing your position regardless of its correctness is more beneficial than admitting you may be wrong.

It’s probably exacerbated by the internet, where the relative anonymity and psychological disconnection further reduces any benefits to admitting to an error.

I think especially Lemmy.ml should rather focus more on cleaning up their Tankie & moderator issues

As much as I would love to see it, I don’t think the lead devs of lemmy, who own both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, are going to ban themselves.

I think it’s more that tankies in general seem to have an oddly-specific hatred of anime fans. “CSAM” is just a convenient excuse here.

Well, not dead at least. Get well soon! (Before the next raid, preferably.)

I really doubt it’s doing much for him. In general it’s better to mock fascists than it is to ignore them.

Huh, TIL there are Remington Mosins.

You’re not wrong, but I think there’s some merit to repurposing bigoted memes to clown on bigots. r/antifastonetoss, for example.

I mean, I guess, maybe? I think Marxism-Leninism is a fucked up ideology, but I don’t categorically doubt the sincerity of MLs. They’d probably put any sudden windfall towards some sort of vanguard party centralized power bullshit that they think will eventually lead to communism, as is consistent with their ideas.

As an anarchist, I don’t think that would be a good use of the money, but I don’t have any particular reason to believe that they’d be more hypocritical about it than any other communist or leftist.

I can appreciate the desire of modern communists to avoid a repeat of how things went with the USSR, China, etc. However, I don’t think you can wholly repudiate the tankies as non-communist.

Surprisingly, complaining in a community about how tired you are of hearing about the subject of that community doesn’t tend to play well.

I’m starting to doubt your ability to identify anarchists.

That one had me wondering if it was someone parodying a bot. Given the rest of it though, they’d have to be way more dedicated to the bit than is realistic.

Anyway, back to discussions about chainsaws and related topics:

To be fair, I think this one is an actual nazi, not a tankie, given the downvotes and the username of “Finnish_nationalisti”. Also it’s been deleted.

I’m with Andrewism on the whole “left unity” thing. The left never was, never will be, and doesn’t need to be unified. We can just collaborate (or not) with those of other political persuasions on a per-project basis.

The reason tankies push “left unity” is because they plan to be in charge of the unified left. Fuck that noise, we don’t need it.

The irony is that if they were merely antifascists that were dunking on racists and transphobes, a lot of people would genuinely appreciate them. The tankie brain-rot ruins that though.
