also downvoted for preferring democracy lol
99.9% alphabetization? This is what the USA has been missing. The founding fathers failed us.
Yes, everyone lives alphabetized. Bob had better live to the either below, or to the left of Andy, OR ELSE!
most creative black mirror episode
In a 99.9% alphabetized America, “USA” becomes “ASU”. This one simple trick turns bourgeois imperialist hegemon into a party school!!!
That was one of the wildest comment chains I have read. If anybody is interested: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/7781901
The only sane person I found in this post is @ITguru@feddit.nl lmao
And they’re Gebannt…
It’s a pretty common thread for tankies. Comes up probably once a week.
Any country that says that they don’t have any “homeless or beggars” is either lying, or killing people on the street.
Or living in a labour camp.
The part they don’t like talking about is the police approach homeless people in China and give them the option to either do whatever job tbey are given or go to prison and dissapear.
Ah that’s what they mean with “right to work”!
Hey they have “right to work” in Florida! They must be the most “Democratic” place in the world!
This I think is the indictment of the U.S.'s public education.
Are you implying that homelessness equates to education?
No, he’s saying that americans are dumb enough to believe such garbage
It’s universal though. USA at a higher percentage of people.
Yeah what’s a bit of casual racism on top of the anticommunist cake
Why can’t we just agree that both the US and DPRK are undemocratic?
🤦
The US is currently hybrid regime, DPRK is, and has been, a full totalitarian regime for the past few decades.
99.9% alphabetization
Why do tankies like to post poorly translated propaganda? Like at least take the time to localize that shit bruh wtf.
Because they are poorly localized.
They are not who they say they are, full stop.
Just more casual racism.
Guess what idiot not everybody have english as mother tongue
Beside usage absolutely accepts the word alphabetization as in “teaching the alphabet”.
The rise of the printing press in the mid-15th century furthered the cause of alphabetization by sparking an unprecedented explosion in the dissemination of information. — Meilan Solly, Smithsonian Magazine, 9 Oct. 2020
The context of that quote is the establishment of a standard alphabetical ordering. Alphabetization refers to ordering items in accordance with that standard.
Women and Men receive the same payment for the same work
That payment? $24 per year.
That’s not a joke. That is the real number at the black market exchange rate.
That is the real number at the black market exchange rate.
Which is the ONLY exchange rate, because North Korea.
I want every ml in the world to move to north korea or china or any country they stan so much and live there for the rest of their life so that they will feel how “great” and “democratic” these “utopias” are.
They are probably from there
Yes, the rich happy north corean worker and his internet.
I mean China, Russia and any other authoritarian nation.
They are probably a result of brain washing done by authoritarian governments
Most tankies are fat American basement dwellers fantasising about power.
Are they though?
I think a ton of them are, yeah. They’re kids who were fed propaganda about the USA being the greatest country in the world and after correctly realising it’s bullshit, they just flipped everything in their heads and started believing the exact opposite - and since they were told the USSR was a shithole, it must mean it’s a paradise on Earth.
The pendulum swings from one extreme to the other.
I do know that there are at least a few tankies from Iran, Turkey, China and Russia. (I’ve seen comments from them)
They absolutely can move to their favourite places. Iran, China, Russia – But they never do. They’re very lazy. Or perhaps deep down they know that their entire being is a trend that they latched onto to look better.
If you ever bring it up they’ll say something along the lines of “well why don’t you pay for my move then”.
I’ll pay for a one way ticket, the wonderful democratic utopia will provide them the rest.
I’ll chip in some dollars, lets crowdfund this!
I’ve found that they usually just quieten down, really odd.
I am willing to start crowd funding their immigration
About 2k per tankie to never heard from them again is a bargain.
Troll farms will

Hexbear claims a majority trans, grad, and ml claim very large lgbtq+ communities too. Hopefully not many of them are in the apologists, cause life will very likely get worse.
Nah, I’ve just been there and talked to everyone. They say it’s all good
99,9% Alphabetization
list not in alphabetical order, straight to a
work campstate funded retreatFor anyone who like me was just confused and ignored it: They meant “literacy” but translated it badly.
Well rule number 3 on the sidebar says be skeptical of your sources, so I’m quite sure that this checks notes Facebook meme is correct in saying alphabetization.
Must have been the .1
Lol, the irony
D good start P alright jumped a lot not a lot of room left K … Well now it’s not.
How can they claim even over 75 percent alphabetization? Are we to deny reality?
When they refer to South Korea as Occupied Korea, I almost can’t breathe from laughing.
If the "D"RPK is so great, why can’t people leave?
You know your country is a grade A shit hole where leaving brands you a traitor. Assuming you’re successful that is, and don’t get killed for trying.
“They just don’t to leave!”
/s, but also that’s actually their argument.
Its also a stupid argument, I love the country I’m in, but I’m still going to leave to go on holiday or something.
Well yeah, it’s super fucking stupid, and a lie. And yet…
Yeah you prolly take your plane to spain so you can get drunk for cheap.
First world privilege
If it’s so great, why won’t they move there?
To be fair, Norway, Finland, are good countries, but they’re not exactly accepting people at the moment, sadly. 😓
Snuck in to sweden myself.
Its so beautiful.
Visiting Norway was easy, nobody even checked my passport.

Funny how you guys always end up sounding like right wingers
Yeah sure, NK is a total utopia. Especially like the part where it says “Workers are the owner of the means of production” as if they didn’t have one dictator that was in charge without anyone really having a choice.
yeah Kim owns the means of production but he also works real hard /s
It’s easier when you dont spend your time shitting at work tho.
I can’t believe they choose North Korea out of all places
If they can fool someone thinking NK is good, they can scam them easily.
They love authoritarianism, they’re bootlickers, so they latch onto Russia, China and North Korea. They completely ignore real communist countries like Cuba or Vietnam.
Cuba and Vietnam aren’t exactly shining beacons of democracy
Yeah, that’s a recurring theme of communist regimes.
Don’t tell that to Lemmy
How dare the tankies be communists
They love authoritarianism
The reddit lemmy situation shows that people don’t make the right choices on their own, at least not without the right education.
Which other options do communists have to change society?
Cuba is also quite authoritarian afaik. Just not the warmongering kind.
yeah, but that’s actual communism, so tankies don’t want to talk about them.
Some of em absolutely love to talk about Vietnam, particularly Luna oi.
Is it though? I don’t think so. Authoritarian communism is an oxymoron, despite what most people think.
How is it?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_society
A communist society needs to be stateless. Therefore authoritarian communism is an oxymoron. Is that what you were asking?
Now, whether this type of society envisioned by Marx is even possible is a whole separate question but that has no bearing on the fact that no so-called “communists” have ever achieved it.
So what are the Soviet Union, Mao China, Vietnam and Cuba?
So is Vietnam. It’s an authoritarian one-party state with no political freedoms, no free press etc.
I’m tired of seeing these .ml arseholes, how can I block the whole instance??
In your account settings I think. You can do so in your web client or app you use.
I haven’t blocked ml of hexbear cause I find some of their content interesting. I always like to consider all sides.
infosec.pub
defederates
lemmy.ml
lemmygrad.ml
hexbear.netOr just go to settings, but this method won’t block you from seeing a .ml user commenting on, say .world, for example.
That’s why I’m on infosec.pub. There should be a list somewhere of instances which defederate from those annoying instances so people can more easily pick a good home server.
The very best thing I have ever heard about infosec.pub.
