Heeey I am also a libertarian, I just tend towards left libertarian. Back to the point of discussion, I find it difficult to ha e a meaningful conversation with the tankies or in general anyone from lemmy.ml . The discussions tend to lack any real data and feel entirely vibe based OR it’s apologist bullshit for Russia.

Like it’s cool if you like communism and have a philosophy based around why you think it’ll help humanity. I can politely disagree but still listen and discuss. It’s quite another to just be a complete dipshit and say “Ukraine had the invasion coming” (actual quote I’ve seen).

It’s what Ive come to expect from the lemmy.ml instance and I finally blocked the entire instance.

Are you developing your opinions based on vibes or have you actually audited their software yourself (you are free to do so both client and federation server code)?

If you audited it, have you produced an actual report with metrics and points of reference for your data points?

She’s not wrong though

Can confirm, just wish other people around the fediverse would realize you can adore and speak out against Israel without being antisemitic. To clarify I mean that can you speak out against genocide AND that you don’t have to say shit like “fuck the Jews”.

Been fighting that bullshit since Israeli Trump started his genocide.

We don’t need gulags, we already have Texas.
