You gotta start killing people dude. History shows that’s how you get your way.

Just look at how the reddit protest ended. Once threatened with losing their status as mods, they all caved.

Money and power are powerful motivators, and the mods work for free.

They’re authoritarian and they hate the west. Of course they’re appealing to communists.

Western commies idolising brutal authoritarian regimes is nothing new.

Sounds like they’ve successfully created a safe little echochamber. Wasn’t that the point?

Edit2: wow I never expected to wake up to so many awards, who’d knew my most updooted comment would be about this?

You are the only one who decides what gives your life meaning, and you decide what counts as “waste”. If your meaning is keeping up with people who have achieved big goals without working hard to achieve big goals of your own, you’ll probably end up envious and miserable. A lot of people like doing that so you’ve got plenty of company to wallow in your misery with if that’s what you want to do.

I’d suggest finding another form of meaning.

Vanlige dagligvarebutikker får selge øl, sider og annet opptil 4.75%. Men bare frem til kl 20 på ukedager, 18 på lørdager, og ikke på søndager for da må vi prise Herren. På søndager får vi bare kjøpe lettøl (opptil 2.75%) i dagligvarebutikker som er under 100m^2.

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man”

Same appeal as other forms of extremism. You get a set of enemies to blame for everything wrong with the world. You can hate them and feel justified for it. You get simple solutions to complicated problems. You’re in the know, while ordinary people are being manipulated by some evil elite.

Reading reddit and now kbin and lemmy about stories like this one makes it easy to see how socialist regimes so often turn to authoritarianism.

Followed. Don’t let me down!

/s is like explaining a joke you just made right away.

That’s just the start my dude. Once we disregard insignificant values like human rights and personal freedom, solving the issue of other people making problematic choices becomes trivial.

Imagine all the crime we would prevent if we just locked up anyone who earns less than say 50k euros.

I disagree it’s a media thing. It has been covered. It’s just not an unusual story so people don’t share it as much.

Now billionaires dying on a submarine will get shared plenty. People love those stories. So naturally, you’ll see more about it.

They’re doing their very best. Uselessness is a Reddit core value.

You’re kidding yourself if you think it’s a negotiation tactic. When the revolution comes, such revisionism will get you executed by true believers.

But at least you’re useful to them for the time being. Someone needs to radicalise the people who will carry out the purges.

I dislike seeing radicals joke about murdering their enemies. It dehumanises them which helps extremism takes hold.

Of course that is the point of such jokes, but you shouldn’t be surprised if people call you out on it.

Let’s demonise a subset of the population and joke about murdering them just like my ideological comrades did in the 20th century! Look how provocative I’m being.

Who are these donors and what does “eating” them actually entail?

I’m surely misinterpreting you, because it sounds like you’re suggesting murdering people over SoMw bullshit.

But that’s okay today? At least in my social circles it is. Just talk about it to whichever friend you have that demands you answer immediately. They are being unreasonable.
