And now I am become worm, destroyer of ears.

May God have mercy on my soul for unleashing this upon your day.

Oppa is Oppenheimer!

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oppenheimer is about anti-communism and why it's bad.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anti-communism is not just a virtue but a responsibility of a man

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not this fucking fascist again 🤦

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone who dislikes genocide is fascist

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope, just the fascists, some of whom are moronic enough to equate a political philosophy of radical equality and peaceful coexistence with genocide 🤦

radical equality and peaceful coexistence

If only reality was as you describe

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is. Those are amongst the few things that those of us on the left who aren't tankies pining for the faux-communist oligarchies of old can all agree on.

Communism ≠ USSR

Admittedly the coexistance of Uyghurs and commie chi*ese is radical to say the least

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

China is a mess of contradictions and is thus not a good example of communism, market economy or anything else.

It's a convenient target for ignorant blowhards like yourself and the ongoing Uyghur genocide is of course beyond detestable, but that doesn't make whatever the Finnish equivalent of Faux News says about it true.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So the only examples of radical equality and peaceful coexistance of communism stems from your imagination, as in, not reality?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, from the actual political theory, rather than failed to fraudulent real life attempts you pretend to be representative because it fits your bigoted narrative.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know mate, a theory that don't actually work is called a shit theory and a waste of everyones time. If all the applications of this "theory" turn out to be shit, then usually people tend to not do it again. Google the definition of insanity for me real quick please

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, because the moment you call something communism, that means you're automatically staying faithful to athe tof it because people never lie or distort anything.

I could start killing everyone I don't like and call it cubism, doesn't make me a fucking painter 🤦

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And when all the cubists start killing people we can safely say that cubism and the theory involved in it is kinda shit ye

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except that's the mother of all false cause fallacies.

It's one thing to be an idiot OR be arrogant, but do you have try so hard to prove Dunning and Kruger right?

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Much rather have a logical fallacy than an actual, political, fallacy resulting in deaths and poverty of millions worldwide. I just think human lives are worth not killing, I know its a difficult concept for a blood thirsty commie to have, but please try to understand my view here.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You do know what false cause means, right?

Since you're clearly an idiot, I'll spell it out for you: it means that you're wrong about the broad category of political philosophy known as communism being inherently genocidal, no matter how many times you repeat your bullshit gaslighting.

Btw, not that it actually matters, but I'm not a communist myself.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

you’re wrong about communism being inherently genocidal

It's just a happy little false causical coincidence that communism inherently turns into a genocidal society with a ruling autocracy and trigger happy paramilitary police forces. But we must not refer to reality, as reality has this funny habit of making communism look bad, unlike Pure Communism (patent pending) that you can read about in books. You know, the books Uyghurs really ought to read to make themselves appreciate the theoretical society they could live in if it wasn't for the pesky reality.
