Well, this specific meme was originally made and posted by u/shiroininja on memes.ml

And yet here it is, posted by you without ever acknowledging the original creator. And when the OP complained about it in this very post, your reaction was "stfu tankies bad" lol

So, once again... You are lying and stealing memes because of your obsession, "pal"

It's not a cross post. That user is lying lol

They are literally stalking the memes.ml community and stealing every new meme posted over there to post it here

LMAO, first, reposting memes is a pastime of the internet for as long as memes has been a thing

True. Stealing memes because you have nothing better to do with your life than go on a crusade against people who are not hurting you (aside from hurting your feelings I guess) on the other hand is not a normal pastime though. It's just sad

Second, cross-posting is a builtin Lemmy functionality.

Cross-posting is. But you're not doing that, are you? Lmao

You're just downloading posts made by other users, stealing them without crediting them and re uploading them on other communities because of your weird obsession with 3 instances.

AND you're lying about it, so you too know how much of a shitty behavior it is

3rd, You've been tagged as a Tankie, and quickly going through your recent comments has reaffirmed that. So you're really just mad because I keep calling out your dear leaders over on .ml

What are you, 4?

And going through your whole account demonstrate that you are living a sad life entirely focused only on 3 small instances of a forum that is just another small corner of the internet.

And I don't care if you've "tagged me as tankie" (which by the way... Cringiest shit I've ever read lmao) just like I don't care about my "leaders" (also cringe, I don't know what you think that means). You use that term with the same level of nuance or understanding that Trump has about anything lol

4th, lol I see you going through my profile and downvoting everything without merit LMAO

Why shouldn't I? Not only you write nonsense but in a serious political moment where fascism is on the rise globally and people are getting deported for not being fascist enough you decided that the best use of your time and energy is to... Blast 10 online users that talk about communism? So brave of you

Still doesn't make it fine to steal your meme.

Nobody elected this user as the person in charge of stealing others' memes and reposting them. They just seem to be obsessed with other instances to the point of harassing others now

Why? So more users like you can come to this platform and use it while shitting all over it by contributing nothing to it?

As I already said, go back to Reddit

They do not see the issues with their political bias being woven into their platform

What the fuck are you talking about? Their ideology is not part of the project in the slightest. Which is why every other instance works perfectly even if they don't agree politically with the dev team

For now I'm gonna use lemmy if I can, but you can't expect people from reddit to come here and support you guys

That's because you want to have your cake and eat it too.

Go back to Reddit with such shitty takes where you move away from massive corporations only to leech off small projects supported by small donors and real people.

You're literally just another one of those people complaining about the lack of alternatives in tech while also being unwilling to support the products you're currently using and talking shit about...

That's a lot of words to say nothing and link no sources to the only claim you made so far...

And you can't because, just like everyone else, you're making it the fuck up.

I'm so done engaging with people like you

You were so right, I totally misread the comment. Thank you for pointing it out

I do love that (which is why I engage with this type of things).

But now, keep imaging the scene:

It's still the chemistry forum. The chemistry field has been attacked by western anti-chemistry propaganda for almost a century. The chemists in the audience put up a sign at the entrance with a bunch of FAQs and beginner's friendly questions.

I ignore all of that and demand an answer that I could have easily gotten answered online. But I'm doing all of this in bad faith. I just want an example of the evil chemists telling me to leave because I couldn't be bothered to be honest in my request nor I could be humble in my lack of knowledge on the topic.

When yours and my friend ask us about a topic we love, they do it honestly and looking for answers respecting the fact that they don't know. And yet, for anything communist/socialist, most people don't

What are you saying? That people who don't have political science degrees shouldn't participate in politics?

That's not what I'm saying at all. If you argue in such bad faith and put words in my mouth I'll stop replying.

I'm saying that just because you can google something, that is not the same as being knowledgeable about a topic. Especially when the topic is divisive and nuanced and you yourself admitted that you don't know enough about the topic to not mix things up.

You seem to be holding yourself up as an authority, but I have no reason to think you are.

Same. I'm just anothet online idiot. But I'm not pretending to know topics I've not actually read upon

Your assertion was you can't have an authoritarian communist. I gave a counter example of Stalin, an authoritarian communist. You seem unwilling or unable to refute that Stalin was authoritarian.

Oof, I see a bunch of misunderstanding here. Re read the thread and I'll be happy to engage with you (as long as you don't put more words I didn't say into my mouth please lol)

No, I can't reply to your question. Beacuse it gets asked EVERY SINGLE TIME here. It has been replied to ad nauseam, and not only on Lemmy.

I never said Google is bad. But why do you think that's enough?

Can you imagine how pointless, arrogant and entitled it would be for me, someone who has (as an example) no knowledge about chemistry, to go to a chemistry forum and ask an elementary question on an incredibly divisive topic within the chemistry field?

Why do you think having a surface level knowledge of political science and a quick scan from a google search is enough for such complex topics then?

Cool. Can you answer my question then? What opponents?

And more importantly, if you can't honestly type an answer to this without asking google, why do you think you have enough knowledge on this topic in general? Maybe you could look more into that instead?

Since you really liked to use this with me in a previous comment...

Stay mad troll!

Changing topic when cornered, I see

No, that's not what I'm arguing. You just can't read well.

Also, what opponents? Name them since you're such an expert

Exactly what I was referring to... A bunch of the same old tired talking points that you've never actually bothered to look into.

"The US has basically lied since its founding, but they would NEVER lie to ME about Stalin or the USSR. And I know this because I saw a whole tiktok video once and a meme that said "commie bad"
