Comment on US convicts academic of being Chinese 'foreign agent'
cynthorpe@discuss.online 3 months agoI don’t have an instance. I have a thousand accounts so that dumbass mods can’t ban me from calling for the real death of billionaires and oppressive government leaders.
I’m not upset. It’s just clearly hypocrisy. Most internet communists—neocommunists?—are just in it for the lols. They have nothing substantial to communicate as they scream with their ears plugged. Hell, I’ll bet they can’t even tell you what communism actually is. They think it’s China, and that’s pathetic.

Ok, but isn’t calling for the deaths of billionaires (not that I disagree) on the internet just armchair communism? Do you do any real works communism(ing)?
And why not join a community? If you look at hexbear you might actually realise you like it. And if you have an account with history rather than thousands of throwaways, your words might cary more weight. What is communism without community?

Is it “armchair” because I call for it but don’t have any intention of doing anything about it?
Absolutely!
I don’t agree with trolling as a tactic, I don’t want to associate with people who do, and if I don’t 100% swallow the koolaid of hexyneocommunism, then I will be banned.
That’s why I don’t join.
Hexbear as a whole, Lemmy.ml as a whole, not for me… mostly because I’m not a communist. There are lots of things that I agree with, but it isn’t a system that has any chance of being applied correctly. Every implementation has failed. China… is not communism. And anyone who promotes China is an idiot. (No, the US is shit too).
I don’t respect people because they have an old account or a post history, because anyone can do that. Talk is cheap.
You want me to join something? Show me a group who is not affiliated with any government, religion, political ideology, and whose sole purpose is popping billionaires with an existing track record. I’ll be there in a flash. But that only happens in movies.
Otherwise every other group is mostly brainwashed idiots who need to belong and have space to park their armchair.
What do I do? I vote. And, occasionally, I spray paint “kill the billionaires” on things. But I live in a city where that’s not a taboo statement so I don’t think it means much here.
