    Hey guys,

    Remember when we found out Russia and China were manipulating us into fighting between left and right, and now they’re dividing the left into 2 camps that are supposed to hate each other?

    Yeah.

    Yeah.

      .ml leading the charge on this.

      I see a lot of other really suspicious shit around Lemmy. I have a suspicion it’s trying to be used like r/the_donald was.

        If anything is being used to stir shit and divide and conquer it’s all the noxious anti-communist liberals running around crying about tankies

          Good point, tankies isn’t a very well know term.

          Telling new users they shouldn’t listen to the FooBars when they say “don’t vote for Genocide Joe, I’m your friendly neighborhood communist btw” doesn’t directly convey why the FooBars can’t be trusted. I think most people on Lemmy agree that communism isn’t the enemy.

          Maybe instead of tankie, we should use a more known and direct descriptor: don’t trust the dictators.

            I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. We live in a dictatorship of capital, I’m opposed to that.
