They’re authoritarian and they hate the west. Of course they’re appealing to communists.

Western commies idolising brutal authoritarian regimes is nothing new.

Reading reddit and now kbin and lemmy about stories like this one makes it easy to see how socialist regimes so often turn to authoritarianism.

You’re kidding yourself if you think it’s a negotiation tactic. When the revolution comes, such revisionism will get you executed by true believers.

But at least you’re useful to them for the time being. Someone needs to radicalise the people who will carry out the purges.

I dislike seeing radicals joke about murdering their enemies. It dehumanises them which helps extremism takes hold.

Of course that is the point of such jokes, but you shouldn’t be surprised if people call you out on it.

Let’s demonise a subset of the population and joke about murdering them just like my ideological comrades did in the 20th century! Look how provocative I’m being.

Who are these donors and what does “eating” them actually entail?

I’m surely misinterpreting you, because it sounds like you’re suggesting murdering people over SoMe bullshit.

But that’s okay today? At least in my social circles it is. Just talk about it to whichever friend you have that demands you answer immediately. They are being unreasonable.

They were not forced, they were pressured. The mods caved to the threat of being replaced, showing everyone that having that little bit of power was always their main priority. I didn’t expect more from dog-walkers.
