Incredible self-own on your part.

You don’t need to be a mod to check the modlog, it’s public information unless the admin or moderator deems the content to be worthy of permanently purging, like CSAM links. In that regard, it would make no sense for me to “create a false narrative,” anyone that wishes to can see what you wrote by checking the moderation history of your comment. Just click the 3 dots on a comment and you can find it.

Either way, calling people “dick riders” and telling them to “shove it up their asses” is only insulting by nature of drawing on social shame towards homosexuality. You can insult people, call them sycophants, etc. without resorting to homophobia and throwing queer people under the bus.

You also seem to be a fan of racism and ableism, going by your other removed comments. Lovely.

I’d say it’s the baseless projection of the crimes of western empire onto any possible alternative. This attitude has roots in chauvanism, the whole “if it wasn’t the Americans doing it, it would be the Chinese!” completely butchers any sense of materialist analysis surrounding why the massacres happened under the US Empire, and foregoes any reasoning why China would do the same in favor of the idea that “big country bad.”

Why are reactionaries all so homophobic?

There was never a massacre on Tian’anmen square. Hundreds died in various areas surrounding it in Beijing, but a lie was spread that, when the PLA had made it to the Square itself, they had slaughtered the protestors there. This is the “Tian’anmen Square Massacre,” except this didn’t happen, and even Wikipedia now finally acknowledges this if you check the page. This is why the tragedy is remembered as the June 4th incident in China, because the actual center of the protests, the square itself, was evacuated bloodlessly.

Supportive of private property and capitalism.

You don’t have to be bourgeois to follow bourgeois ideology.

Agreed! It’s very fun!

In short, I drifted from anarchism to Marxism after joining the work force and understanding more about production, distribution, and complex manufacturing and supply chains. Certainly not towards liberalism, the opposite in fact, into the communist I am today.

Right now I’m reading Neocolonialism, the Last Stage of Imperialism by Kwame Nkrumah. It’s a really good expansion of Lenin’s work on Imperialism as a stage in capitalism. Nkrumah was coup’d one year after its publishing with support from the US.

As for favorites, I really love both Piranesi and Roadside Picnic! The former is just a really fun mystery with a good deal of whimsy, the latter is excellent sci-fi.

Closer to Nazis than communists.

That’s why the bolsheviks purged them.

Nazbols want to unify socialist economic planning with imperialism. They were purged by Stalin and the Bolsheviks for wanting to engage in imperialism, and also saw popularity in Germany. Essentially a far-right ideology that stands against socialist internationalism.

Bots are very rare on Lemmy. Some do exist, especially ones that are clearly marked as such by account owners (for various purposes like changing twitter links to xcancel links automatically).

Under capitalism, LLMs are used purely for the benefits of the capitalist class, spying on all of the working classes and enabling immense repressions. It isn’t a tool without any and all merit, but under capitalism it will always be used against our best interests.

Not a fascist, but definitely a reactionary liberal. It took leaving the echo chamber I was born and raised in, plus moving far away and laboring in a pretty nakedly bad environment that really helped cement how capitalism truly functions at a base level.

Being far from the Overton Window does not inherently make someone bad nor wrong.

Leftism is inherently anti-fascist. If you’re calling the socialists that have successfully established state-power “fascist,” then this is monstrously incorrect.

It’s perfectly possible, it just requires the downfall of imperialism as committed by the west at mass scale, and the adoption of renewables and smarter city planning, combatting desertification, etc. as seen in countries like China.
