Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.

If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

Edit: there’s also this thread: https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693

    And as can be seen from the behaviour of all the .ml’ers in this thread, you really should block that instance as well. They are the same people, just using different accounts to spread their hateful fascist stupidity.

        Does this mean that being willing to eradicate people for the greater good of humanity (far left) is not the same as being willing to eradicate people for the greater good of a secular minority (far right)?

    I blocked the instance a long while ago. Not because of divergent views, but because I didn’t find myself stimulated by their overall culture and communication style. Other than that, live and let live, glad they have a spot to discuss what they want.

      Eh.

      I’d agree with “Live and let live” if they didn’t also obviously all come and harass me here, and have a modicum of good faith in my arguments.

      We wouldn’t want you to be exposed to any viewpoints outside the Western propaganda cannon, that would be too much intellectual effort

          “no guys it’s totally not an echo chamber, we just ban and/or relentlessly attempt to troll anyone with a differing opinion than ours!”

          I’d say it’s an impressive level of cognitive dissonance, but then, you’d already have to have that to believe China is a socialist utopia. Really it’s just Tuesday for them.

    Buddy, you’re the one blocking them. You’re not in a position to accuse other people of being in an echo chamber.

    watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument

    Unlike you, making such sound and well reasoned arguments as “lol no” and “Have you been living under a rock?”

        I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking, but I assumed since you said you blocked the instance and you weren’t responding to their comments on this post that you couldn’t see them. However, coming back to this thread I see a response from you so I’m not sure what’s going on

          Blocking an instance doesn’t block the users of that instance. Just the communities. So users posting from an account on a blocked instance to a community on a non blocked instance will still show up.

          I have hexbear and ML blocked. I still see all you assholes in here, brigading this shit.

          It was ambiguous what comments you were referring to. (This post or the comments in the other one) I get it now.

          I don’t really want to hear from them. Their roasts are just bad arguments and bullying.

    Oh hey! It’s the guy who thinks posting videos of Uyghurs is how you dunk on Hexbear, without even knowing what Xinjiang is. Then, without a shred of irony, accuses Hexbear of not critically thinking :o

    You might genuinely want to consider how that behaviour is incredibly 'echo chamber’y. Repeating an opinion without knowing the first thing about the actual facts?

        Well, exactly.

        Do you not agree it’s a bit silly to suggest mocking people for their view of an issue, when you don’t know the basic facts of said issue? If I found myself doing that, I’d personally be a bit concerned about what I am choosing mock.

    Oh no! Did those scary ideas that conflict with US State Dept propaganda hurt your little bitty ego? Did you not get the pat on the head you expected for your bold, approved by the neoliberal order takes you so graciously bestowed upon Hexbear? Lmfao.
