Because dismissing everything you don't agree with as "Russian propaganda" and "undermining progress" is completely civil.

"Everything I don't like is Russian propaganda" lmao get the fuck over yourself. It's fine to disagree with people, but to claim everything that opposes your viewpoint is enemy propaganda is the most "baby's first guide to internet discourse" shit ever. Grow up.

What part are they lying about, exactly?

Wow a completely misinterpreted paragraph copied directly from wikipedia, you sure showed me.

I never said anything about you praising authoritarian leaders, that’s the picture you’re painting in your head.

You started going on about "supreme leaders" out of nowhere, how exactly was I supposed to interpret that?

Either way I think it's funny that the other user who replied to you gave a much more detailed and educated answer than I did yet you chose to ignore them and reply to me instead. You don't actually to want to have a conversation and learn things, you're just here to troll.

Weird how I've been in so-called "tankie" spaces for years and I never hear praise for authoritarian leaders. It's almost as if all these "tankies bad" whiners are just liberals who don't know shit about communism and are literally indistinguishable from the "woke bad" nonsense I hear from reactionaries.

And they're damn fools if they still think that. Trump works for nobody but himself.

"Tankie" is a meaningless term libs use to dismiss anyone to the left of them. It's as empty as boomers calling everything to the left of Reagan "communist."

You have spent this entire thread screaming into the void about how much you hate "woke lemmy instances" and "tankies" and how lemmy.world needs to defederate from all these instances you hate. Maybe turn off the computer and step outside for a little while.

They're well aware of the ideological leanings of these other instances, and if they haven't chosen to defederate by now, they probably aren't going to. If you don't like that, you're free to move to another instance, or create your own, but you don't get to tell the admins of other instances how to run their instances.

If that was their intent then why defederate from hexbear but not lemmygrad or lemmy.ml?

It's not okay for small businesses to exploit people, either. I don't see how this changes my point.

So instead of making any effort to explain why you think the things progressives/leftists support are bad, you just call it "woke" and accuse them of being "tankies" without actually contributing anything meaningful to the conversation.

Here come the "tankies bad" whiners, right on cue.

So your solution to the "all politicians are criminals" problem is to vote for the biggest, loudest criminal out of all of them?

It's just tiring how Republicans can openly subvert the will of the voters and face zero consequences for it, even from their own party.

If your business cannot afford to pay its workers a living wage and instead relies on exploitation, then your business model sucks and deserves to fail.

Republican lawmakers have signaled that they will use their gerrymandered majorities to fight the court. Several Republican said in the run-up to Tuesday, before Protasiewicz even won, that they would consider impeaching her and removing her from office.

Republicans know they can't win fairly and will cheat and steal to stay in power.

Why can't games just have no politics in them, like my favorite apolitical bideo game franchise Fallout?

Ten years before that it was "political correctness" when gamers weren't allowed to use the n-word.

Let's employ minors to work late at night around drunk adults, what a fantastic idea that can't possibly go wrong.
