I’ve noticed a peculiar phenomenon prevalent with the liberals. They have an inclination to diminish the complexity of those they perceive as adversaries by reducing them to caricatures or dehumanizing representations.
For instance, they liken Xi to Winnie the Pooh, depicting him in a manner that belittles his position and influence. Similarly, Putin is portrayed as a mad king, exaggerating his power and malevolence for dramatic effect. They characterize Russians as orcs, implying that they are inherently evil and lacking in humanity’s essential qualities of compassion and reason.
This trend seems to suggest a reluctance among liberals to engage with opposing viewpoints on their own merits, instead choosing to dismiss them outright or diminish their significance through caricatured representations. This approach may serve as a form of psychological defense mechanism, allowing individuals to avoid the discomfort and cognitive dissonance that can arise from confronting unfamiliar or challenging ideas.
A group, claiming to champion values such as empathy, inclusivity, and respect for diversity, appears to be engaging in a peculiar behavior: dehumanizing their opponents by reducing them to caricatures or diminishing their complexity. This trend is as a form of naked hypocrisy.
Are you the one who flaunted their academic credentials because people disagreed with you that South Park was genius?
White people think that show is deep. My dude it’s two child-fucker libertarian manchildren trying to come up with the edgiest shit they can.
Seriously? I’m 42. I teach in a College and work in research in University. I have a master’s degree from U of Montreal and a Doctorate from Concordia. I’ve read more books then you will in your entire life. My mom is from a first nation community and my dad is a french canadian. I think this sub is fucking pathetic. I’m not sure what exactly
ChappoLemmygrad is, but it’s seems you people need them to tell you what to think. You guys are behaving EXACTLY like Trump supporters: privilege white people behaving like they are better then everyone. Toxic AF. Wannna tell me about you? Did you ever accomplished anything interesting or do you just tell people on the internet they suck to make you feel good?Please tell me that isn’t an actual quote 🥺 I will fucking melt into my seat and then die.
It’s a reference to the conversation they were originally expressing grievances about.
Nope, not looking. I’m like this close to quitting the internet forever, my metal health does not need this.
Then… I will not tell you the other parts that somehow make it worse with context
Dont be so rude, it is a genius propoganda tool aparently, not sure how, but it is
Are you the one who told me to kill myself because my mom is native?
This is becoming an obvious strawman at this point now, It seems like you have given up trying to have beliveability, I was giving you the benifit of the doubt, but you clearly 1) do not understand what we stand for as communists, and 2) have never been here in this comunity before, or you would know how rediculous that accusation sounds
That being said It is utterly appoling that that happened to you
Edit, it never happened here is the thread https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/3197853
Lying in order to pose as victim is yet another common behaviour pattern of liberals. Nice of them to remind us i guess.
It’s got a name: Crybullying
You know what is really funny about this, is I was the one accused of bullying, because I posted the hex bear link to disprove their claim.
Brilliant
It did not, after tracking it down they essentially said anyone who thinks south park is bad or right wing is an Idot, and hex bear started by explaining how that was rediculous, and after basless acusations got thown back Hex started memeing them

Most people I know once they get their doctorate, unless its like to their students will skip where they got their masters from, because doctorate trumps masters
Also I love hpw they said where they got it from but not what in
South Park studies.
Doctorate in Applied Cringe from South Park University
Passed with distinction.
Doctorate in copypasta development.
The more you describe that alleged conversation, the less it make sense and the less I’m believing you. Someone on Hexbear said that? Either it’s some kind of criptophash pretending to be a leftist who somehow managed to pass the vetting process and got banned shortly after saying that, or most likely, you are making shit up, cause I can guaranty you, saying that kind of things would not be tolerated on Hexbeart nor on lemmygrad no matter to who it’s said.

I did some digging and found the thread, none of what has been discribed is in their yet, it started with them criticizing Hex for saying south park (made by ancap libertairans) was right wing
They must have been especially embarrassed about this one given that they edited it.
It honestly looks like they are insecure about their own accomplishments and are pushing it off on others for, and I cannot stress this enough, disagreeing on south park
They have a constant tone in comments of everyone they disagree with is either a trump suporter or a proud boy
Oh and they admitted in one post to being a white night where they work. Honestly I am relived to not go to this persons university and I would love tp hear the Shit talk the students give behind their back
And here I was thinking they were just making stuff up with the intent to post somewhere to make us look bad, turns out they were just salty about being dunked on so they wanted to rant about the conversation but they couldn’t link it otherwise everyone could easily see that not only are they lying, they are an insufferable smuglord as well.
Let me tell you in finding it I found a few other places they convenently forgot to link… that I might have dropped a link in
But seriously how paper thin must your skin be that a whole bunch of people disagreeing on your oppinion of southpark, leads to you saying there where death threats?
I think their insistence on this high-school level bullying being “death threats” is very telling. This is someone whose whole identity is wrapped up in their degrees, their symbol of their own authority. They can’t just like a tv show, they have to be the expert with degrees explaining how their interpretation of the show is the only correct one because they have a bunch of degrees which makes them very intelligent. So when people mock them for thinking a bunch of unrelated degrees confer any sort of special understanding of a cartoon, they take it not just as a personal attack, but as an attack on their very existence, hence their reframing it as death threats.
Or maybe they’re just so desperate to be a victim they just lied about it in an attempt to trick people, forgetting that this is the internet and people can actually find sources to verify claims.
While I can definitly see it being both, and I knpw fpr sure elements of the second are true, like forgetting it isnt hard to check hexbear history. I genuinely think its the first, because even saying "your political analysis is blunter than a club and saying that did not happen, you look to be the agressor, here is the link for others to see, is also bullying.
But I genuinely think it is mostly the first, I mean the only other reason I would thibk to randomly bring up your degrees in a discussion about southpark (and randomly throw in that they read more) would be to wave arround the “I have more papers saying I know stuff, so I must me correct” and they just did not know how to respond when no one gave extra devrence to the Doctorate (also still hung up on why they included the masters doctorate outways masters). I thibk the lack of deverence is why they said that “Leftests do not respect their opponents”
Marxists also know that any degree in a reactionary institution will tend towards creating uncritical reactionaries. Well, the criticism may be there, but it’s a fettered kind of criticism that is unable to see certain problems, never mind their implications or solutions. So the qualification itself doesn’t necessarily hold much weight.
I’ve had rigorous engagements with Marxists and non-Marxists without much of any education at all. And I’ve had asinine conversations with highly educated people who fail absolutely to question bourgeois assumptions. The latter don’t deserve respect lol.
To study for a degree and remain or eventually become a Marxist, though? That tends to produce a special kind of critical mind and indicates a level of independent thinking and courage. Staying the course in the face of the ridicule indicates a certain commitment to the truth. The educational process is designed to smash that line of thought out of students. Challenging orthodoxy is hard and warrants some respect even if the comrade gets some things wrong.
Least smug liberal.
At least that make the shit they write very funny to read.
Incase anyone is wondering, dropping a context link is now bullying, they sent me a message saying I was worse than the people on R/DonaldTrump because I tracked them down to bully them,
I cannot stress this enough, I found it while looking for their incident, then posted the context they neglected too
Holy, that person is an endless source of entertainment.
Honestly I am slightly disapointed they left (and deleted the first comment they left here, if anyone has a backup please let me know it was a perfect example of the post)
I didn’t reply to that thread, so no. I just watched as you embarrassed yourself.
You know what, been there done that. You people are the Proud boys with a communist flag.
Proud boys are Facist, I want you to think really hard about what group of people oppose facism the most, and its going to be really embarising for you if you get thus wrong
inb4 muh red fascism.
Apparently they have a doctorate, in what I do not know, but I would hope that with all the arogance and straw manning they are attempting to do, that the good Dr. Will know the diffrence between the fash and Commies.
Either that or clearly the Canadian education system seems beyond repair
Honestly, I think his degree came from a diploma mill with the shit I’ve read from his account.
I would not go that far, only because I know some Ph.Ds who are pretty dumb untill you hit their narrow field of knowlege, the issue is most of the ones I know are more willing to admit they have that narrow band
Y’know, I keep forgetting the potential for engineer’s sickness the higher one climbs the ladder of accreditation.
This is why I keep finding it suspicous that I find that they will flaunt they HAVE a doctorate but I cannot find what it is IN… knowing what is in would be very helpful
Nah you’re buggin with this nonsense
