Honestly the only difference between the quibbling you do with language and those blue maga weirdos on world is that you rep a different politics.

Rather than trying to insult me, can you meaningfully explain why you disagree with me? Their comment suggested that Communists are in any way comparible in evil to the fascists that invented industrial mass murder, to the point that they wouldn't side with them against the fascists. I then went on to explain how I feel that the word "tankie" is just a pejorative used to dismiss Marxists, rather than getting a genuine response I just got further description of the caricature of a tankie.

Again you're twisting yourself up in a knot to try to fit reality into the neat little prejudice you decided is correct. If it turns out to be wrong, rather than change your view, you try another prejudice to see if that one fits.

Or maybe ya'll just mod off the word everyone calls you based on how you think and act online, for me it's asshole, for you it's tankies. Ya'll just hate the label but don't realize how much everyone has you clocked because of the small, highly censored, walled garden. ML is a tankie zoo.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, it's Lemmy.ml that is the walled garden despite being more broadly federated than Lemmy.world, who intentionally defederated from the explicitly Marxist instances.

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, world blue magas weirdos are just as closed off and strange as ya'll, that's true!

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In what way are leftists more closed off?

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They censor by closing off, ya'll censor with aggressive modding of dissenting opinions, ya'll are both the same. I'm surprised both instances don't get along more.

How is being more broadly federated "closing off?" What are you talking about?

Edit: ah, misread. I think you need to make the case that Lemmy.ml removes "dissenting opinions" that are worth keeping, ie aren't racist or based on spreading misinfo.

My favorite part about watching you talk to people is how you just ignore the parts you don't wanna talk about, I honestly love it!

You sneaky little dumpling, you won't get me with that!

You right now

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's more that you came in here, started concern trolling and slandering everyone, and refused to elaborate in any meaningful way. What's your goal? To complain about the woke?

Sealarious! Paint me in any outgroup you want. Sea lions always try to prove they aren't with more sea lioning.
