Thread whining about it

Original thread

Blahaj.zone is a fucking disaster. I don’t remember any user accounts from that place who comment with any sort of sanity. It’s like the lemmygrad of the LBGTQIA+.

What are we, chopped liver?

      Of course it’s PJ, the most fed-coded “left” anticommunist on that site. This is, of course, after they defended Blahaj users accusing Hexbear users of being “fake trans” for “internet clout.” PJ will always take the most reactionary stance that can be shrouded in idealist leftism possible.

        I had been wondering why my feed looked measurably less toxic and it was just missing PJ because he got banned from .ml 3 months ago

          I blocked them because I tried several times to reach them to no avail, they’re so fed-coded and firmly denounce any successful leftist movement and firmly support only “left” anticommunism or color revolutions.

          One of the only people I blocked on my Lemmy.ml account, their relentless “left” anticommunism would make Orwell and Chomsky blush. I tried several times to reach them but they had no consistent views, just firm denouncement of anything successful and rabid support for every color revolution as “true” leftism.

              I don’t think that’s quite true, they believe what they do because underneath it all, they seek to perpetuate the Status Quo. They oppose real change to US Imperialism because they benefit from it, or at least believe they do, ergo if they can be convinced otherwise they may change their tune. However, I don’t have the patience required for that.

              Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of “Brainwashing” is a must read on this subject.

      Mythic rare not terrible lemmy.world comment:

      I think it’s interesting that 4chan has invented “anon” as, functionally, a naturally occurring genderless neopronoun. I would argue even more genderless than xe/xim because while xe/xim was created in relation to gender, anon was created with no connection to gender at all. Xe/xim is “not he or she” whereas anon is he, she, they, xe, or anything else. There’s other words as well (homie, oomfie, bestie) that are functionally genderless neopronouns although these (and anon) are commonly used alongside gendered pronouns eg: anon posted his greentext on 4chan, I visited bestie and her dog.

        This is absolutely not true. The “anonymity” of 4chan was always cishet coded - there’s no girls on the internet etc. And if any woman wants to assert her gender she can, she just has to open herself up to misogynistic harassment - t*ts or gtfo etc.

        Deeply looking forward to adding the “singular ‘chat’” discourse to the struggle session list once everyone is over “singular ‘they’”.
