Every two days a new thread with hundreds of comments of a bunch of liberals doing the same fucking talking points about the election. It doesn’t even fucking matter but so many people are just so enthusiastic to be hand-wringing or smug or whatever their preferred flavor of insufferable is, presumably mostly because they’ve been acculturated by liberal media to the idea that Trump is the apocalypse despite the fact that we already saw how Trump bumbles his way through a term!
It’s just so bad, you can’t talk about it anywhere there without someone leaping down your throat to say the same shit you’ve heard before.
Yeah I’m only on .ml so I can argue with libs.
I just hope that after the elections the libs will become less inflamed and settle down. (I doubt it but I can hope!)
The only settling these libs are planning on doing is in the West Bank.
Heyo
That’s completely unfounded and unfair. Some of them plan on settling the Gaza strip.
I don’t know how you do it
It’s a sickness. 🫠
I still feel bad about when I caught a ban for trying to joke with you on there.
RIP 😞
Lol, they’ll blame us for the Harris defeat. Maybe once Trump comes into power they’ll turn their hate towards him and get a little progressive again for a while. Only to learn nothing and revert back to their reactionary ways next election cycle. The silver lining is, each time they do this stupid bullshit, the American left gains a few more comrades.
Trump is the apocalypse, and the solution is to vote for the party that says he’s the apocalypse while doing nothing about him
And also wants to work with him
I always think the ml stands for Marxist Leninist
What is it supposed to stand for?
It’s the domain extension for Mali
Mali, the domain is cheap which iirc is the only reason
Mali, they bought the domain from the country of Mali, i think
That’s some false advertising.
Idk
No those letters don’t match up
I mean, despite being a country code, I don’t think that specific country code was picked on accident knowing that the devs are comrades.
Then why so much liberal disappointment coming from there?
Userbase mostly comes from the Reddit exodus from a few months ago. I think they still managed to keep a relatively decent line against the liberal flood, compared to .world and .ee, but they definitely still have a huge lib problem.
The devs are comrades, but the fact that .ml domains were free was more important to the decision.
Marxist-Leninist
thats why this is the only place I shitpost. That makes me the only real communist here and you all are liberals.
Mom said it’s my turn to be the real communist
Tbh ive spent a lot of time in more nonpolitical spaces online. The energy to engage in politics in any online place is just more than its worth outside of leftwing spaces.
Like tbh this is the first time in my life where Id say public discourse in gaming and sports is far more productive, positive and less personal than politics. We know where everyone stands at this point and if you still support genocide then thays a scar on your soul that you’ll have to reckon with.
I subscribe to nearly all the Hexbear and Lemmygrad comms, and my view is subscribe. It saves my mental health.
It’s like r/roi all over again… or even r/cth
What is so amusing is that I just saw a .world post where they were complaining that .ml is too hardcore left and they were getting banned for their liberal opinions. One poster actually said they prefer hexbear users because despite being obnoxious they’re more civil and honest. That was quickly followed by a reply about how all the hexbears had alts on .ml that they did their real dirty work on so as to protect the mothership from defederation. I honestly have no idea what they’re talking about though, I’ve seen so many bland lib posts about how we all must hold our noses and enjoy the genocide on .ml comms lately, I just assumed it was a mostly lib instance or something (I assume the .ml is for Marxist Leninist though?
Edit: saw below the .ml is Mali country code, not Marxist then. Also I’m a hexbear who has a .ml alt like they say, but I never do real posting anyway, and if I was to start, I would for sure use my hexbear because how else would I get credit on the internal shitposting leaderboard?
Yeah, I mean, I’m of course talking about an alt that I have on .ml, a lot of us have alts or such is my impression, but that’s just because Hexbear is one of the most widely-defederated instances out there that isn’t, like, an attempt to do 4chan or something. You can see a lot more with a .ml account, even though that unfortunately includes .world users, who are like 70% of who I am complaining about (some of them, I’m sure, are good people).
I get that there are a lot of gTLDs, but I am surprised many people think ml stands for Marxist-Leninist instead of the more likely option of being a national TLD. Yeah, there’s su for the Soviet Union, but it’s hard for me to imagine a TLD referring to anything remotely left in a capitalist dominated world. It costs $185K (soon to be $227K) just for the application alone to create a new gTLD, and it costs several thousand per quarter along with a transaction fee per registered domain after 50,000 being registered to keep it available. Plus the application process is restricted to organizations, not individuals. It’s hard to imagine ml being bought and created by a Marxist-Leninist organization when that amount of money would be going to something so trivial and pointless instead of being used towards any activist project.

really awesome system you got there where you spin a roulette wheel to determine the make-up of the 9 god kings who decree all laws and are appointed for life, and it’s entirely random who gets appointed based on when they die
definitely not an inherent issue with your entire system, just a single bad election to that fascist Drumpf ruined everything
our democratically elected government
The US is a democracy in the same way as when only land-owning, white men could vote, or as Israel is now.
I’m sure the people who it benefits love to call it “democracy”.

You should have learned by now that representative democracy is not a meaningful practice, given its track record of almost no successes.
Also, you literally do coups - including against democratically elected governments - all the time, and don’t have an issue with that.
The implication behind “democracy” is an equal vote democracy, which the US is objectively not. Which was the whole point of my comment. You can call us a democracy in the same way a slave state is a democracy if you’re white. Our representative elections are not democratic, and individual wealthy people have an outsized vote over millions of people.
You didn’t understand what I was saying, are too much of a moron to understand that, and think that it’s me who isn’t smart enough.
I would ask you, “when was the last time you voted for a policy and got it?” which would be “never” for me, but I don’t know your politics, so I’ll just point out that 70% of Americans want single-payer healthcare but most politicians side with the insurance companies for some mysterious reason, and there’s nothing we can do about it as an electorate because our only option is to vote “lesser evil” every few years or boycott the elections and watch other people vote lesser evil.
If you’ve ever heard of ALEC, then you should already know exactly who this “representative” “democracy” functionally represents.
Marx grasped this essence of capitalist democracy splendidly when, in analyzing the experience of the Commune, he said that the oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class shall represent and repress them in parliament!
[…]
Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich — that is the democracy of capitalist society.

you’re embarrassing yourself
Removed by mod
Everyone is biased, dipshit. Including you and the sources you get your news from. Not understanding something as fundamental as this makes your smugness even more embarrassing than it already is. Keep it up.
What’s a site that’s not biased according to you
Tagline material.
Marxists.org is a collection of works on political theory. They aren’t really biased beyond wanting to preserve the works and provide easy access to them.
The link is to something written by Lenin in 1917, referencing something Marx wrote earlier. I suppose you could say that Lenin and Marx were biased in the sense that they had strong views but that isn’t a valid reason to dismiss everything they ever said, and that ignorant perspective is just going to get you laughed at here.
Tbh some of the translations could use work, but they are republishing work they didnt translate themselves
Pointing to an obviously biased website is crazy
Ableist concern trolling shit aside, what is your “nonbiased” source, asshole?
They’re quoting Marx which is being hosted on marxists.org, you brick.
Also everyone is biased, objective reporting is literally impossible. Learn how to do source critique and text analysis instead of just gargling the same thought-killing propaganda you’ve been regurgitating your whole life
marxists.org is an archive of hundreds of thousands of texts by influential sociologists, historians, political economists and political theorists. It’s not our “facts” it’s an argument in the form of a written text. Perhaps you should sit down and take the time to read sometimes and maybe learn something.
Are the marxists bad
Everybody is biased. Denying one’s own biases just means that you do not understand them.
lol, lmao
Want to come over, I’ll read it to you directly from a book?
space cadet
noun
- One who shows difficulty in grasping or responding appropriately to serious or necessary concerns; a spacy person.
good bit tbh, sorry anyone wasted their time responding to you
Tell me you’re an “enlightened centrist” without telling me you’re an enlightened centrist…

If we are splitting hairs than it’s a representative democracy, sorry I had to spell it out for you, but you should have learned this in 3rd grade
Democratically elected
Trump lost the popular vote, but still got in. Bush with the Florida thing.
Gerrymandering.
The immense amount of ratfucking you’ve seen during primaries.
The incredibly low voter participation.
The fact that the government does not care what you think.
And we’re not even getting into the suppression that is done.This is a fact, US elections are decided when they do the redistricting
Thank you for demonstrating my point. Please pick another thread to go cry about the Capitol riot in, it’s not like there’s a lack of liberal and more-highly-federated (and thereby more liberal) instances to do that in.
You brought it up?
Ending sentences with a question mark that are not questions continues to be the mark of passive-aggressive Reddit-tier jagoffs.
Fuck off.
Woosh
i want you to know that you are a stupid asshole
Death to America
