Don’t forget the middle-aged men in r/teenagers LARPing as kids so they can creep on kids.

Pluto has a valid point. Neil is a grifter who’s made it his entire job to talk down to people.

“I’m”? 🧐

Leaving an instance curated by and for tankies is a good call.

Referring to all non-white people as a single entity is bigotry in of itself.

This just happened to me. Even tried to use Albert Einstein as a “see, Socialism can work” even though the topic was about tankies specifically. It felt like gaslighting so I stopped engaging.

Same. It was effortless honestly.

Well said. Never underestimate someone’s ability to be stupid based upon their politics. It’s how we end up with absolute idiots in office.

Totally understandable. That’s the issue with echo chambers like lemmy.ml

They try to have normal communities to lure people in then bam, tankies everywhere and if you disagree you’re a racist bigot when all you were there for initially was innocent, apolitical memes.

I think they do it that way to indoctrinate people into their cult.

Damn. I’m not even an atheist and I agree with OP. Your take is just antisemitic.

We should take this a step further though. Any kind of genital mutilation should be illegal, including bottom surgery.

I’m sorry but yes, you should consider bottom surgery mutilation. There’s a difference between the other things but I’m sure you’re missing it.

Remember when Velma pissed everyone off equally and there was a brief moment of bipartisan unity? That was fun.

I think you’re correct honestly but with Lemmygrad defederated like the exploding-heads people they surely make mainstream accounts for the sake of their lunacy being interacted with.

Maybe it’s my instance of choice but I sure do see a ton of people with authoritarian views pretending they’re just simply leftists when they’re just as unhinged as Qtards.

Getting downvoted by authoritarian simps is always a win.

I wanted to like him too but the more I tried the more I came to the same conclusions as you. I’m saying this post-coffee and happily houred.

He’s absolutely no Carl Sagan. Now, those are some big shoes to fill for anyone but Neil didn’t even come close. I really like his voice but there’s always an air of condescension about his demeanor. It was admittedly less present in Cosmos, thankfully.

His Hollyweird presence is what really irks me, appearing in shows like Big Bang Theory. He somehow manages to be bad at acting like himself. It would be almost impressive if he didn’t come off as so damn conceited.

Reddited echo chamber.

I’m aware of where we are and comments like that person’s are no less outlandish than that of Reddit’s delusional tankies.

I’m a human, beep boop.

Lemmy seems to consist mostly of white, male tankies that only care about skin color when it benefits their political ideology. Blaxploitation is an effective tool and they cherish it deeply.

🤢

Someone mentioned lemmygrad.ml earlier but I can’t say I’ve actually noticed it (browsing all on sh.itjust.works, if that matters).

Too often it happens that the first thing on my feed is some edgie endorsement for communism and it’s always lemmy.ml behind it.

Thanks for the details though. Makes sense.

To be fair your comment was entirely baseless and inaccurate.
