Yeah, laypeople using big words from the DSM to try and sound smart is cringe

Just tell them that Eminem is more popular with old white people because his melanin levels are less threatening to their old people sensibilities

That sounds more borderline than narcissistic.

Eat the rich. Shoot Nazis. Break stuff.

That’s really weird. The trans community on Lemmy doesn’t think neopronouns are trolling. You can see so at that link. It’s only you and other cis people who think so. How come you think you know better than trans people about trans issues. Isn’t that arrogant?

Drag would like to make one distinction relevant to your comment. Marxist-Leninists aren’t Marxists. They have many points of disagreement. Most notably, Marxists believe in a worldwide revolution, while MLs believe in communism in one country. Drag has no problem with Marxists. Only with MLs.

Marxism-Leninism was created by Stalin. Drag thinks he did a bad job interpreting Marx’s ideas. Drag only has a problem with Stalinists. Drag is a communist. Drag gets along with syndicalists, mutualists, demsocs, soulists, even georgists. Drag can name many variants of communism drag has no problem with. Drag has a problem with Stalinists.

and possibly even cause some trauma down the line.

Oh, it’s not down the line. Right now you can go read drag having a mental breakdown - https://lemmy.world/post/24516643

It’s not reasonable to expect communist countries to get social issues right on the first try and attach their failure to do so to their economic organization.

Drag doesn’t attach it to their economics. Drag attaches it to their beaurocracy. The USSR put too much power in the hands of the government. Anarchists wouldn’t have made being gay illegal. Drag’s complaint with tankies isn’t about economics, it’s about big vs small government.

It also seems to drag that even neoliberals have managed a tiny amount of personal growth over the last hundred years. Nutomic hasn’t. He’s a dinosaur. Drag sees a trend that marxist-leninists haven’t changed much in the last 50 years. The way they defend modern Russia, sometimes it feels like they haven’t noticed the Berlin Wall fell. We need a communist theory for the 21st century, not the 19th.

Ada is a lemmy.blahaj.zone user, and therefore can’t see comments left by people who are banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone. Drag’s friend made sure everyone knows.

This is the second in command of lemmy.ml:

The Soviet Union made being gay illegal. Marxism-Leninism has a very long history of calling queerness “bourgeois decadence”. Some tankies choose to follow in the footsteps of that history. Others just ignore it and pretend it was excusable. Tankies aren’t allies.

Ada, drag is sorry for sharing the screenshots. Drag didn’t think they were anything serious. Drag won’t share any screenshots without permission again.

They won’t admit it, but most AAA game companies are casinos

Trelawney made a prophecy and Voldemort decided Harry fit the bill, although Neville also met the criteria. Voldemort went to the Potter house to kill Harry, end his biggest rival before he could grow up, and create a horcrux from the murder of his enemy. Voldemort chose Harry.

Also these books are so fucking racist. “Cho chang”. We should stop talking about them.

They have an empathy problem. They don’t make their posts readable because they don’t think of how others will read it. They called someone a Japanese homophobic slur because they don’t think of how others will take their words. They don’t apologise because they don’t think of how they’ve hurt others. It’s not a medical issue, it’s a personality issue. They’d get as much benefit from a spiritual guru as from a therapist. Both would just tell them to think about other people’s feelings.

It would be very cool if Lemmy was better than places like 4chan

For democracy!

4chan and Harry Potter are both transphobic

Hexbear might be safe for binary women, but as far as drag can tell, they’re still sexist against a few million other gender identities. Drag went to Hexbear and searched for discussions about dragself pronouns. It wasn’t good.

Let’s get away from the “X chromosome” bit now that we’re not stuck with Reddit’s bad names
