Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

Its crazy to see all the complaining about tankies, but I hardly see any complaining about exploding heads. Some people supporting Russia over the US is a big deal, but actual fascists passing laws in the US is barely a passing thought. Hating a foreign government more than home grown fascists is an american past time at this point. Shows where the "centrists" and "free speech advocates" sympathies lie.

Tbf exploding heads is defederated even more extensively than we are, and are much smaller instance than us, a lot of them probably aren’t even aware of exploding heads

Yeah, I think its more that we are more notable than them. Still, one of us supports the working class and the other hates it. So one of us ought to be opposed and not the other (hint: its not the one that supports the working class)

That's their secret, cap. They(Amerikan/westernized liberals) hate the working class too; you ever heard how a liberal talks about "flyover country", "the sticks", and "the cousinfucker states"?

[–] coderade@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Most western liberals are primarily focused on social issues because of the media narrative centering those issues as the dividing line. The American two party duopoly does not want people thinking about actual economic policies to help the working class, it would make the masses realize they are much more alike than either sides ruling class

foreign policy is practically identical between the two parties as well.

[–] relay@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

well, Democrats hate Russia more and Republicans hate China more. Still very similar.

This is making a lot more sense now. I thought this emoji 🤯 was a dog whistle for something and felt too daft to ask.

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh are people using that emoji to refer to exploding heads?

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I k don't think so. I didn't realise exploding heads was an instance. So I thought you were talking about the emoji.

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 2 years ago

Oh I see what you mean now
