            They live in a world of communist theory

            With a very big emphasis on “theory”. They somehow got so consumed by their theories that they now live in a parellel reality - or they don’t actually believe what they say, I can’t tell.

            I wouldn’t even say that live in a world of communist theory because a lot of their egregious takes are contrary to actual theory, Marxist-Leninist slant or not.

            I’d just say they live in alternate reality land.

              The ones that I’ve had any negative interaction with in regards to anything related to politics have always quoted theory at me and told me that if I just read some theory, I’d agree with them.

              I honestly haven’t cared enough to see if theory actually agrees with them or if they’re like those Christian extremists who believe that the Bible says to hate minorities.

              All over the world I believe. The US, Europe, South America, Canada. The ones that I’ve seen talk about this sort of stuff seem like they could be from just about anywhere except for China or Russia. They talk about those countries the way that somebody outside looking in on a culture would, not in a way that somebody with firsthand experience living in a place would, if that makes sense.

              Yeah, the creators of Lemmy are communists of some form (I don’t remember exactly), and the older instances are largely groups of like-minded people, some egregious and some not. The most intolerable of the instances have been defederated from the rest of the instances, so they can’t interact with the rest of Lemmy. ML is probably the most mild of the bunch and is largely just one of the big instances full of memes and such, but you’ll occasionally see why they use the .ml address flare up in threads.

        It indicates their being sarcastic, because they aren’t confident that that’s obvious to every reader.

          I just don’t get why would anyone use wording from one of the most fascist right wing forum’s on the internet sites lemmy is the opposite to even reddit and most of you probably aren’t teenagers anymore.

            “/s” isn’t 4chan slang, it’s generic forum slang that existed before 4chan. It’s a shortened version of XML-style closing tag.

                  Old people actually know what /s means. I’m pretty certain this is somebody who’s probably brand new to the internet and slightly new to the world.

                Well, first of all, it’s old people slang at this point.

                And second, I don’t understand your outburst. You’re free to start a serious thread about criticizing Russia’s rhetoric, right next to the sarcastic thread that is criticizing Russia’s rhetoric.

                Name is DeathToUS, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you’ve got rage and maturity issues based on how you’re conducting yourself online. Luckily Lemmy supports a robust tagging and blocking system.
