So, that’s a no, then? It’s literally just Chinese propaganda and weak “lol so mad” trolling the whole way down?

In other communities, I’d agree. In a community dedicated to exposing their lies? I think I see it as a “give them enough rope to hang themselves” situation.

Though I absolutely take your point.

I do have to give it to you, you know how to demonstrate in very few words how little you know. I guess this makes you an expert on the topic.

But hey, no self-respecting Tankie would ever let a well-reasoned opinion slide by without spouting divisive vitriol. Honestly, do you post anything in Lemmy that isn’t anti-western democracy or pro-china propaganda? That’s certainly the only slop you post in Canadian communities.

Canada’s food safety regulations spits all over the American ones. When putting myself through university via the food service industry, I was shocked to learn how many hoops American companies have to jump through to meet our food safety standards.

Honestly, they get downvoted and mocked into oblivion, while simultaneously demonstrating the purpose of this community. Why ban them?

Fair enough. His ethnic background has to do with only a tiny minority of the crimes he enabled, then.

But, again, being Jewish isn’t the crime. Being a zionist is. Conflating the two is just racism.

Let me re-emphasize then: Epstein showed no indication of caring how many sources the money was coming from. Being a pro-isreal, zionist piece of shit doesn’t disclude him from being a Russian asset, and the insinuation that “he was Jewish so he MUST be a zionist” is, in fact, anti-semitism.

Don’t get me wrong, zionist trash should be named as such, but “he is Jewish” is not an argument. It’s racism.

What the fuck is this anti-semitist trash rolling around Lemmy right now.

Epstein did not give a flying fuck who the money was coming from and his ethnic background has nothing to do with the crimes he enabled, you propaganda spreading fuck.

I’ve seen some incredibly stupid Tankie takes around here, but this might be the most completely dissassociated, idiotic trash I have ever seen come out of any of their mouths. It is the picture of “our heroic adventurers; their british invadwrs” meme.

“Both Imperialist genocides were bad.” “We elevated the native peoples (when we destroyed their cultures and killed anyone who resisted); you’re denying genocide.”

Anyone who reads that comment and doesn’t immediately smell the hypocritical bullshit needs help, either developing critical thinking skills, or getting away from the brainwashing they’ve consumed.

If your definition of leftism doesn’t include queer acceptance, then I’m not interested in your version of leftism.

Any version of bringing the people together to make the world better for the people cannot discriminate based on sexuality. Doing so is to create a multi-tiered citizenship and awarding privilege based on perceived merit, which is right-wing ideology.

Queer groups have been an oppressed group for most of history, which has decidedly placed them into oppressed economic classes, and the culture they developed is a result of that. To dismiss queer acceptance as “culture war,” is to position sexual identity as choice, and to ignore their history of oppression and erasure.

“Leftism” that segregates citizens by sexual orientation, or other identities and backgrounds for that matter, is fascism by another name.

They’re conflating anti-authoritarian with anti-communist because it suits their narrative.

Imagine unironically posting these comments in communities that notoriously ban people for wrong-think.

Shit like this really makes me question if they can genuinely be this stupid.

Not bothering to cover up your crimes isn’t the flex you seen to think it is.

But think about how much shareholder value they preserved!

You know, I don’t think this is what OP meant, but yeah, King Fury is qualityslop.

Make racists feel embarrassed again.

But if the rapture is on Monday, who’s going to the potluck on Tuesday?

But autopen was a problem.

videos show federal agents apparently discovering and removing during the altercation that led to his death. Videos do not appear to show Pretti holding the weapon during that confrontation.

He died because he’s the kind of person ICE fears most: someone who was willing to defend themselves, and knew how to do so legally.
