I would love to be given a few minutes worth of grace to edit some minor spelling and/or grammar mistakes once I’ve hit the “post” button.

It’s amazing to me just how hassle-free it is to use Lemmy as opposed to reddit.

Rddit just feels like it’s actively trying to get you to leave it.

I thought the halo ce was generally very well received.

So was a whole bunch of other FPS tripe that glorified USian militarism.

Yeah, it does. They gave Half-Life’s spot to that crappy game.

Hard yes from me, thank you.

Unscrewing everything they can get to (and destroying the screws/bolts/fasteners) would also be very effective.

It would also give you access to stuff that’s much easier to smash up.

I don’t think they are very experienced at monkeywrenching, and probably didn’t really plan very well for what they were going to do once inside.

my dreams where I can’t punch hard enough

You have dreams where you can’t punch hard enough?

Considering the routine fake heroics ascribed to pig both in games and in movies, you’d really have to go out of your fascist bootlicking way to get your game called “most reactionary.”

Yeah, you just happen to buy into liberal claptrap for reasons that are totally not the same as every other liberal that hates having their ideology named and shamed.

Okay, totally-not-a-liberal.

Oh, look… another liberal that doesn’t know what the term tankie means.

Is there any one of you libs that have a smidgen of political competence to demonstrate here?

Oh, look… a liberal that doesn’t know what the term tankie means.

Yawn.

There are lots of comments on that thread trying to divert the issue by pointing out the violence done by the western countries

Yeah, I know - me (and all the other leftists) were dealing with tankies long before these libs even knew what the term tankie meant.

A liberal showing up and pretending that the west (supposedly) puts “attention on those misdeeds to ensure future generations don’t repeat the mistakes” is an utterly fallacious piece of propaganda that any leftist is going to debunk hard no matter what is being discussed. All they actually achieved is to give the tankies a justification to divert the issue.

I have no idea why libs think they are politically competent enough to argue with tankies - they aren’t even competent enough to deal with their alt-right cousins.

When I was reading it, there were mostly posts critical of China in the thread and some whataboutist/denialist replies

You complain about the tankies’ whataboutist replies “critical of the USA and the west” - yet your very first comment up there proves that you, too, were very quick to bring the west into a discussion about Tiananmen.

but I’d like to urge people to avoid lemmy.ml hosted communities in favor of communities on more reasonable instances.

You think the liberal hive mind here on lemmy.world is (somehow) more “reasonable” than the views held by tankies?

By what metrics are you measuring this (alleged) “reasonable-ness”?

It’s hard to crack down on dissent without them.

I don’t know what you all are whining about - tankies are really just liberals who have given up on any pretense of being pro-democratic. After all… isn’t Lenin’s “state capitalism” just another way of preserving your precious status quo?

Yeah… at this point I find insufferable liberals that don’t understand the difference between tankies and fascists nauseating enough to ban you on sight, too.

There is no such thing as a “good cop.”

aren’t pretty but full of genetic defects

Nature despises purity.

Fuck Nestle.
