If yall can and have the energy, uphold @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 's good example and debunk those threads. That falun gong one specifically needs people to call out the incredibly racist and homophobic origins, as well as the scientology-esque practices of the falun gong cult.
I truly admire what @yogthos@lemmy.ml is doing there.
I apologise if I sound rude, but that’s old news
I find it comes in waves, you’ll get a few really active NAFO style accounts and then they disappear for a while until a new wave comes.
Remember the german guy from few months ago? I think most of those accounts are this guy dodging ban.
oh yeah, wouldn’t be surprised
they do tend to get downvoted, maybe they’re periodically demoralized
They aren’t though, depnding on lib wave they often gets even more ups than downs.
I don’t usually look at lemmy.ml posts so I was extrapolating from what I’ve seen 😔
eagerly awaiting Hexbear integration
I’m worried they might lib things up a bit :<
I think it’ll be fine, they have “left unity” but they’re mostly pragmatic Marxists AFAICT
I’ve seen plenty of the general “western anarchism” type deal, but yeah, they’re getting better
You should be more worried about the weird struggle sessions we have over there every week or so lol.
Lemmygrad struggle sessions: how should marxists handle religion?
Hexbear struggle sessions: is it okay to stack rocks?
They’re easy to spot though. Always end up exposing themselves by some line that reveals their opposition to China/Russia/Cuba etc resulting in a limp foreign policy stance that favours the status quo (and thus the US).
Doesn’t matter what topic - they have a hard time hiding their anger at anti imperialist countries. They often will dress it up to appear intellectual but the substance is always poor with no materialism.
it’s always the “community” meme of “i can excuse racism, but i draw the line at property damage”.
just inquire on how and where those people draw the line. I can excuse blowing up the three gorges dam and kill millions of people, but i draw the line at Wuhan lockdowns"
Is it any worse than it’s been in the past? I haven’t seen some of the worst offenders libbing it up in the usual spots like !worldnews@lemmy.ml, !politics@lemmy.ml, or !europe@lemmy.ml. There was one person who posted obvious falun gong propaganda, but a lib called them out on it because it was too far fetched even for them.
Then again, I view those communities from lemmygrad, so maybe there are libs rolling in who block this instance that I’m not seeing.
There’s some in Russia community
We have a lib infestation? Call me, the lib pest services. I shall mitigate the threat of internet text litter.
😁
i follow a lot of news from the war.
Everyone agrees that there has been a full on internet offensive in these days, probably connected to the fall of Bakhmut. Even in “neutral” communities, the nafo bots are out in full force.
In all likelyhood they figured that Russia will be able to celebrate the liberation of Bakhmut by the 9th of may, Victory day. Wouldn’t be surprised if the reddit batallion has been mobilized to downplay the importance of those events or to otherwise taint Russia’s celebration.
It’s also believable that this is simply an effort to flood the internet in order to mud the waters and hide possible leaks concerning the (alleged) upcoming ukrainian offensive. Just today i saw a couple of trademark videos of the “clean and shaven soldier in Bakhmut” claiming that there is a “surprise coming” for the russians
This definitely happens in waves, increases in “lib activity” are never random
i feel like u guys r a good influence on them
