I wouldn't call you a tankie for using quotes of faux communist figures saying genuinely pro-communism things.

Their messaging is usually on point. Its their actions where they shift from communism to authoritarian state capitalism or outright fascism.

Way too many complex words and phrases for him though

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

But not for the mythical Great President Regan in their heads. They do the same with Trump; build up an imaginary figure around the real person and see the imaginary as reality.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

They tuk ir jawbs!!!

I know a lot of people look down on trolling, but this plainly reveals that it can be used for God's work.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

"God" is a consummate asshole.

We all deserve better.

edit: Perhaps, in this context, one might say "Doing the hordes' work" or similar. 🤌🏼🖖🏼✊🏼

By God I meant Ganesh, he is hardcore and everybody of refinement thinks "Ganesh" when they read "God", it's just too boring to say Ganesh every single time.

You're not saying that Ganesh is an asshole, are you? I swear to God...

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

Ganepati ❤️, patron deity of motorcyclists and skateboarders.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Swear to Ganesh and I'll believe you. 🤪

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I swear to Ganesh that he has become my favorite major deity of ALL TIME. If I am lying, may my sexual organs wither, turn black, and fall off.

I was pissed at Yahweh right at the start, Genesis (the first book of the Bible) is the absolute worst religious origin story that I've ever read. Seriously, read it, it's comically bad and I don't get it.

I haven't read everything about Him (Ganesh), but in everything I've read so far He absolutely kicks ass.

Truth! 🥰🤘🏼

Not bad.. People think Reagan famously said back in the 80's that it was essential for the workers to not give up their arms, when it was Marx. Nice that you're keeping up a long tradition of mis-attribution WRT Reagan.

Godspeed my good man!

Is this what happens when you listen to "We Didn't Start The Fire" backwards?

[–] notabot@piefed.social 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fire the start, didn't we?

It's Yoda admitting to arson.

[–] Dionysus@leminal.space 8 points 1 week ago

Come on guy, he's just asking questions. No crime in that!

I used to attribute Sandor Clegane quotes over the top of images of Winston Churchill but this is way better

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is fun. I'm doing Mao Zedong.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

While I like the sentiment, Ho Chi Minh very intentionally styled his english after speeches given by americans like Regan (genius propaganda move), which is why his quotes sound so much more plausible as legitimate regan lines. Mao wasn't eloquent in nearly the same way, which is a big part of why those so clearly aren't regan quotes. It just doesn't sound like him.

[–] Veedem@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

That’s amazing

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

My parents somehow dislike Reagan. My father remembers the job market as being horrible during his term, among other things.

If only they could apply everything they disliked about Reagan to the current regime.

It's funny cause Vietnam's richest billionaire just escaped the death sentence for allegations over 8 crimes

Try quotes supporting minorities made by Trump. That will really confuse them.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

There was that time where trools were posting Biden quotes but using Trump's face in conservative spaces and getting a lot of likes.

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Except the rich enjoy way more rights and privileges, including child rape and ignoring any and all laws.

[–] Sektor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's the only way.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Mao and Reagan believe all the same things they just have opposite beliefs on what is good and bad.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world -5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You're literally a source of misinformation on the internet....way to piss in the pool.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Pool isn't gonna piss itself

I think your piss is warm and cozy. Best piss I've felt all year.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or don't piss in the pool at all. You are literally the mechanism by which the world becomes a worse place. You choose to make things worse, why?

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

It's funny to many of the proles, don't be a Debbie Downer
