      Remember when after signing Molotov Ribbentrop, Stalin was best buddies with Hitler, they split Poland, and nothing happened afterward? No particular thing, no largest land war in human history, no 27 million dead Soviets who were killed by the fascists that the UK and other Western European allies had… also signed treaties with?

            You wrote that explicitly to shame people from using a rule meant to cool down comment sections, and you wrote that to promote the “left unity” delusion by jumping on the attempted bullying bandwagon, so their assumptions are rational at least.

              Are you the leader of anarchism that gets to decide who is and isn’t an anarchist? I’ve been trying to find whoever is in charge of the anarchists, it’s an honor to meet you!

                WTF are you on about, mate? I didn’t even challenge their anarchist creds. Reading comprehension these days, I swear…

                    Read again. I just said it’s a rational assumption. I didn’t say it’s a valid assumption as I don’t know; just given their visible behaviour, what .ml is and what this thread has become, it would make sense to assume this. Whether it’s actually true is another matter. I’m OK to take Diva’s word for it that she’s an anarchist, but of course her allegiances and actions leave much to be desired by other anarchists like me, so it’s not like I would want to be in the same affinity group or anything.

              that’s quite an accusation, I think it’s reasonable to infer insincerity from my words, but shame? I think that’s coming from somewhere else. I was mostly being glib responding to someone calling your post bait.

              you wrote that to promote the “left unity” delusion by jumping on the attempted bullying bandwagon, so their assumptions are rational

              that’s an awful lot to read into one word. I’m pretty sure I was just making a joke, sorry that it was at your expense but I don’t think that’s bullying.

              Follow up question: if that was bullying then what does that say about the people doing red scare smear campaigns based on what server people are on?

                but shame?

                Oh, so ridiculing the use of the disengage rule does not have the effect of shaming people from using it?

                that’s an awful lot to read into one word.

                Context matters. You came to an attempted bullying thread and thought “Oh, I’d better pile on the side defending ML regimes”. As I said, It’s a rational assumption.

                  I came into a bait thread and made a joke about someone posting a bait thread and then telling pretty much everyone responding to the bait to disengage.

                  It’s not that I have an issue with the rule, or intended to discourage people from using it, but because posting something incendiary and then dodging earnest responses to the bait with “disengage” is funny.

                    I am not dodging. As I’ve said many times in this thread, I’m using the disengage rule as a because I don’t want (not that I can’t) to argue in a fucking meme thread, but my autism compels me to, so this is my fucking coping mechanism to avoid wasting all my life rehashing 100-year old theory with 24 different terminally online tankies.

                    But yeah, it’s easier to say “oh you don’t want to argue for 2 weeks with 2 dozen different online theorists? owned!” and pile on, I get it. I don’t excuse you shaming people from the disengage rule though. be better.

                    PS: Not bait. This is my own space. Tankies don’t have to come here. I, in fact, don’t want to deal with them. I’m just too fucking tolerant for my own mental good. But apparently even letting toxic people post here in masse is not good enough. Saying I don’t want to argue in a meme thread isn’t good enough. Trying to protect my mental health and time isn’t good enough. Because the objective here is to just stop me from posting these sort of memes in the spirit of “left unity”, so the bullying is the point. And you’re part of that now, congrats.

            Soviet simping “anarchist” on the .ml instance who posts like a hexbear, huh. Bold claim, let’s see who’s dumb enough to believe it.

                What rules are there on Hexbear that are so anathema to your noble anti-authoritarian ideology? Do you think we have rules against criticizing socialist countries or something like that? We have arguments daily[1] about China not helping their allies enough or not intervening internationally enough. We criticize the actions of socialist states all the time. So what “rules the party leader made”[2] is she supposed to be against on principle? What is it about Hexbear that demands this belligerent attitude of yours?

              Soviet simping “anarchist”

              Love the scare quotes, do you do any actual organizing as an anarchist or do you stick to posting?

              I have plenty of criticisms of the USSR, I just don’t care to participate in red scare circlejerks and that clearly rubs some people the wrong way.

              on the .ml instance who posts like a hex

              I’ve been here for years, it was literally my first instance and it was the most annoying Lemmy users constantly whining about hexbear that got me to start digging though their modlog and checking it out in the first place lmao.

              Can you actually point to anything she’s done that disqualifies her from being an anarchist? Like, I can show receipts of you going to the right of the US State Department to defend American Imperialist narratives about Taiwan (nice leftism you got there, Chiang Kai-Shek!). Has she done anything specific that is objectionable?
