Of course, if I tell you to taste the shit sandwich you'll say it's delicious, I'm not here to change your tastes, man. You like what you like and that's all good. But funny that you use the same regurgitated talking points all these hypocrite tankies use to justify their shit. "I just have a different opinion, you're just sensitive" and get their panties in a bunch when they get contradicted in the slightest lol

You haven't even explained what you dislike about that instance, you just went "Fucking yikes. I’m glad I got out of that hell hole." and then claimed I'm the one getting my panties in a bunch. I can only guess at what the baby is crying about this time.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t see the issue you’re talking about.

You haven’t even explained what you dislike about that instance

Lmfao. Maybe you should've started asking basic questions before getting testy, huh. Funny how that goes right through your own foot. Oh, and now I'm telling you that you're the one getting your panties in a bunch? If you read what I said carefully, it says the fucking tankies who got federated with were a bunch of hypocrites and that you're starting to sound a lot like them. But if the shoe fits, wear it with pride. But call it crying all you want, simpleton, it's not like I haven't heard your droning insults a million times and counting.

That's a whole bunch of words to say absolutely nothing.

I'm sorry you have trouble reading, but apparently no trouble at all playing dumb

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

I'm aware that people cry about certain instances for being "tankie" but I wanted to know what you consider "tankie" or otherwise so horrible that you can't stand to read a post from there. You then went on to rant about whatever instead of simply telling me because you're full of shit.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

People were literally telling me, loud and proud, that they were tankies and that I should "cry about it". They were posting lame ass memes, insulting all liberals in the thread and defending their dear leaders in the East. Every thread that became even slightly political was like that. So how does that make me full of shit, asswipe

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So basically you're mad because they posted memes, insulted you, didn't feel bad about the dumb "tankie" label you assigned them, and they dared to defend China on some aspects. You're full of shit because you're making mountains out of molehills. Looks like you're following their advice and crying about it.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Am I supposed to turn the other cheek when someone insults me, shithead? lol Why don't you follow your own advice, then

didn’t feel bad about the dumb “tankie” label you assigned them

They said they were tankies themselves. Do you not read? LOL They were defending themselves for being tankies and memeing aobut it and were full-on apologetic about all these shit countries and citing their favorite authors. How is that making molehills? Explain it. You're so full of it yourself, you don't even know. If I'm "crying" what are you doing then, hypocrite.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't understand. They took on the tankie label to own it instead of letting people like you use it as some unrecoverable insult. Just like how in US politics, being called a commie is so poisonous that politicians do anything to avoid the label. If instead there were politicians who were fine with calling themselves communist, it'd lose its power. You really need to calm down. All this rage is preventing you from understanding simple concepts and also it's bad for your health.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Don't patronize me, you're the one who doesn't know shit. You're a dick who thinks yourself superior because you think you got it all figured out but all you do is distort, deflect and move the goal post. Talk about everybody else building molehills some more, though. You can lick the "rage" out of my ass if it so bothers you that someone isn't abashed to call you out.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like you're the bothered one, mate.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's all you do, go around bothering everyone, mate. Like Janis Ian once said, "You're a mean girl. You're a bitch." Let me remind you of how hard you shot yourself in the foot for assuming instead of asking questions first, then dragged this out to save face trying to pin it on me.
