This is the saddest, most insular cope I’ve read all day.

I once read a report on animal psychology about a gorilla who was trained in sign language.

One day, the Gorilla ripped a sink out of the wall. When the researchers asked how it happened the Gorilla blamed their pet kitten.

The conclusion was that Gorillas were fundamentally worse at theory of mind and deception than humans. However I believe recent evidence may overturn this paradigm.

No, I care about meaning. The problem is there’s lots of people who argue about words and ignore the meaning.

Like calling me a “liberal” wtf does that mean? You don’t know a damn thing about me. But I’m a “liberal”.

The thing you said doesn’t mean anything. They’re empty words. “social democracy is a liberal doctrine” is an utterance empty of content.

Did you forget how all the MLs were rooting for Putin and performing apologetics about how Russia had “national trauma from its interactions with the west”? (actual quote, btw.) They pointed out how there were some factions in the military that were antisemitic and ignored the openly fascist policies of the Kremlin.

Arguing about words is stupid.

If anyone disagrees:

Kronstadt

Spanish Civil War

Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

The War in Ukraine

Etc.

🤤

Usually I assume they’re tankies DVing me b/c I said something true that’s inconvenient for them.

What?

To be fair, given the model he was working with, this was actually a descent experiment so long as you ignore the ethical implications.

Wtf is SSH and why should I care?

I have this dude tagged as “dumb tankie” and I have never felt more smug in my life which is saying a lot.

Farside Vibes.

Kraft is the death of quality.

So there’s cyanide in the soil?

Pretty much anyone on the left.

Note: Tankies aren’t leftists.

Note 2: MLs are tankies.

Something about .ml and MLs in general is that they really just aren’t that large a group. If we want larger communities, Reddit is still much bigger than Lemmy. If we want a flawed ally in politics, progressive liberals outnumber Leninists and are far less likely to deliberately betray us. (That’s why MLs always equate Liberalism with fascism; if people can ally with Liberals MLs have basically nothing they can bring to a coalition, and so they can’t seize power.)

Two things can be true.

We should reduce our dependence on cars. Also, our vehicles should be Electric. Ine dos not preclude the other and so saying we shouldn’t do one because of the other is a fallacy.
