Donald Trump has been appointed new administrator of lemmy.ml.
At least they don’t make hidden blocklists to shadownban dissenting opinions. They just dunk on you publicly.
You have been banned from Lemmy.ml
It's crazy to call that dunkimg on somebody. It's the equivalent to having to get rid of a houseplant because your idiot trembling chihuahua is scared of it and pisses on the floor whenever it sees it.
I have a great Modlog, probably the best Modlog in the fediverse. People look at my Modlog and ask: How do you do it sir? That's a beautiful Modlog you have there. My ballroom is gonna be beautiful too.
why do you say this
ML stands for Marxist-Leninist, but in practice it stands for kissing the ass of the dictators in China, Russia and North Korea.
I thought it was the national domain of the Metherlands...???
The Metherlands? That's my new go to for the Missouri boot heel?
lol, I always thought it stands for machine learning
meth learning.
which are all right wing countries by the way, thats why they mirror conservatives.
They're auth. left-right is the economic style
I am marxist leninist, I support lifting sanctions on North Korea, am I a tankie?
"Wow what a riposte, really roasted that guy. Totally shut down his critique of AES by totally ignoring it and deflecting back to Amerikkka" –Every ml user in every conversation ever
?
Original post: trump incorrectly claims a country that constantly launches missiles towards neighbors and had the world's most recent nuclear bomb test is unthreatening and respectful, in part because he likes Kim Jong Un
Top level comment: wow trump has ml user rhetoric
Comment you replied to: yes, ml users hold irrational NK views in the same line as trump's tweet
You: wHaT aBoUt [USA] SaNcTiOnS??
Nobody was talking about anything related to sanctions, let alone supporting them. You've been trying to drop this non sequiter all over the comment section. In your mind, every geopolitical conversation MUST be directed towards pwning the westoids; any opposition to USA hegemony absolves an actor of defects. That is what makes you a tankie.
Look, I dont even care about the tankie label
I know liberals have this ilk of bloodlust, imperialist wars and military aggression. Its not far fetched to think they would support sanctions on DPRK
N and S Korea are still at war. If one is allied with S Korea, it makes quite a bit of sense to have sanctions against N Korea, no?
making sense doesnt make it right does it?
The not right part is the still being at war. It seems to be N Korea that wants that.
not really. Its the US that wants that
No, the U.S. is a bit hard to read right now, but in general, they have been pushing for disarmament. Both s and n Korea still claim the whole peninsula, so that doesn't help. And one can easily see why n Korea wants to keep nukes, and that the western world doesn't want them to have them and has imposed sanctions related to that. China doesn't want a US aligned unified Korea on its doorstep, so while they push n Korea to not act too crazy, they don't want them to reunite. S Korea has made overtures for peace and economic collaboration repeatedly. But It's really n Korea that refuses to talk.
wrong. They have talked on various occasion and N korea has also dropped plans of reunification
Oh my god the /r/pyongyang jokes from 15 years ago are just reality now.
