      Looking at your username and profile, same lol. Yeah, eternal September is a phrase that means something to those of us that have been on the internet long enough to know how communities migrate.

        i’m well aware of what the eternal september was, just commenting here that if you think a couple radlibs coming to lemmy for a few days before the reddit thing dies down and then melting down over checks notes communists existing is going to be anything other than an opportunity to make fun of you guys you’re delusional lol

          Hi 👋 Am a Marxist. Just don’t support authoritarian war machines headed by an exKGB, anti-LGBT christofascist. That y’all are supporting this obvious war of aggression is embarrassing and shameful to the rest of us actual communists and socialists with integrity. And we’re not going anywhere 😘

            Marxists typically have the decency to study history, e.g. Euromaidan and the ensuing civil war, the Minsk accords, etc.

            Really, you reported me? You petty little man, try actually going off the internet. Do you act like this in real life? I really hope not…
