When you’re intentionally rude, you’re breaking the rules. Pretty clear cut.

Pretty much all of my blocks are from rule 1…which is vague for a reason.

The point about having a life is that I couldn’t possibly be in an echo chamber even if I wanted to be.

You’re in a echo chamber here…no one said outside of lemmy.

As for your bit on “being an authoritarian,” it’s again just your persecution fetish flaring up. I’m okay with revolution and violent resistance to fascists and capitalists, sure, but there’s a huge difference between that and the idea that communists just want to kill everyone that disagrees. History proves that false.

Please show me a peaceful transition to communism…hell your own comment that you’re ok with violence against capitalist is nice and telling considering the majority of the world is capitalism right now.

As for China, no, living there doesn’t make ine a communist, but the system is supported by over 90% of the population. The public supports the government.

Lol this is like asking people if they love the USSR…they don’t have a choice.

Again, you’re so off-base that you’re like a caricature of a conservative uncle.

Says the guy who’s brain washed into believing CCP propaganda and has no clue how china is, as he sits in his western bubble.

This is ridiculous, lol. You did break the rules, the modlog is public.

Lol yes rule 1 a joke rule to block/ban/delete anything that goes against the propaganda from tankies lol

I don’t know what your persecution fetish is for, but I work for a living, organize, and have a life.

What does working have to do with anything about removing comments and banning people?

I have no idea why temp banning people for breaking community rules means communists want to kill people we “don’t like,” it’s ridiculous.

It’s called being an authoritarian. You’re cool with destroying anyone who goes against your beliefs. You just can’t do it in real life because you’re not in power.

As for there being billions of communists, the PRC alone has 1 and a half billion people alone, and is far from the only socialist country.

ROFL, you think the people of china are communist because they live there? The CCP rules china with an iron fist. Tiananmen Square Massacre proved that.

Really, your insults are so weak it’s kinda pitiful.

Lol

You got temp banned because you broke the rules, not for replying to me. I’ve had plenty of conversations here.

Lol sure thing kid.

Secondly, I do comment outside of Lemmy.ml, and I work and live my life outside of Lemmy. I couldn’t possibly be in a true echo chamber even if I wanted to.

No…you really don’t.

Unfortunately for you, though, there are billions of communists around the world, and more are created every day. We aren’t a tiny fraction. Communists are absolutely better than MAGA, where MAGA fights against marginalized people and the global working classes to perpetuate imperialism and profits for a tiny subsection of society, communists fight for the working classes against genocidal imperialists.

Lol no there is not billions of communist rofl what dumbass logic is that. Your communist heros of the past have killed more people than magats have. The only reason you like being a communist is because you think once a revolution happens you’ll be in charge, and you’ll get to kill people you don’t like. Hell .ml is %100 proof of that. You ban anyone who “breaks the rules”.

Again, you don’t actually seem to be capable of making a point. You just spout insults and accusations without backing anything up, it’s really very boring and none of your insults actually land.

My insults are more so for my own amusement… honestly don’t know why I haven’t blocked this instance yet. It’s filled with hateful tankies who are chomping at the bit to murder anyone that they deem a threat to communism.

Naa the last time I replied to you I was temp banned, and my comments removed. Your just in an echo chamber and why you won’t comment outside of ml or other tankie instances because you don’t have the mods there to ban and delete comments for you.

End of the day, I’m glad that you and the rest of the tankies around lemmy are a tiny fraction of the worlds population. You’re no better than maga and any other right wing authoritarian group.

Yea but you’re eyes would glow…the way I see it, this question is, “would you become an insomniac or explode when drinking water”

And it was awesome. Hate that they stopped making lower decks.

O I’m not allowed to comment, as your admins/mods just remove posts and allow propaganda links to exist. So yea at this point I just laugh at you tankies, you’re just powerless authoritarians at this point.

ROFL… ahahaha fucking rich.

O damn that’s way better

This should get you up to speed.

Yes because my guns in a safe attack people all the time. No this isn’t comparable at all. This is stupid people owning dangerous animals, that have a mind of their own.

This guy is an textbook example of a dumb strawman, especially the gun trotting yankistani dumbass kind.

It’s not, you type don’t care about people dying, you just don’t like it when guns are used.

Alcohol doesn’t kill someone else out of nowhere. Long term alcoholism or drunk driving does, for which you have to be on the road or nearby it, which everyone and their grandmother already know are inherently dangerous are people inherently become alert and cautious around roads.

It…kinda does. Did…did you not read my comment that 12-13k people a year are killed by drunk drivers? Shit that’s even more random than gun violence? Alcohol has 0 net uses in society…so why aren’t you mouthy about alcohol? Is it because you don’t give a shit about deaths just how they die? Gonna answer for you and say yep.

Can you fucking take out alcohol in a busy mall, spray everyone, and kill them?

Random Mass shootings equate to less than 200 people a year death wise on average. Most mass shootings are targeted and not random. In which alcohol is still king of killing people at random on the road.

Holy fucking shit, are you even aware of the mental gymnastic it takes to equate guns to alcohol?

Considering how far you had to jump around not to get the references… I understand the topic pretty damn well. You on the other hand are another “guns scare me, please ban them all, and I’ll magically feel safe”

Why not say let’s ban water because everyone who drinks it dies?

Yes because I forgot how everyone needs alcohol to survive. Gotta get my 8 shots a day to feel healthy.

it seems the only argument the pro-gun side seems to be able to muster is “it wouldn’t 100% work, so there’s no point even trying”

That’s not what I said at all, what I said was focusing on our citizens well-being will have a much greater impact on gun violence than trying to ban guns.

do you agree with charlie kirk, it’s worth having a few (tens of thousand) deaths a year to be able “protect your god given rights”? (makes perfect sense, if you don’t think about it)

12-13k people die a year from drunk driving deaths per year, nearly as many as all gun homicides combined (sans suicides which make up 2/3rds of gun deaths). So by your logic, we should ban alcohol and that’s the best approach.

Also trying to use that piece of racist shit as a “gotcha” on gun rights is pretty weak, you gonna also toss out that hitler liked bread so I must agree with him too right?

the onion title is not “funny” imo, it’s upsetting and true, which is kind of a black comedy when you see people genuinely argue for it

I argue for it, because people like you suggest that the dems use political capital to try and push more gun control when it has very little support, instead of trying to actually solve our societies problems that would have much greater effect on gun violence.

nobody is talking about prohibition, “just” regulation, but also guns are nothing like alcohol or heavy drugs even

Nearly 4Xs the number of people die via alcohol consumption (178k on average) per year than all gun deaths combined. That’s not even adding in drugs. So you don’t really care about deaths. Just how they die.

And yes, you aren’t suggesting regulation, you’re suggesting a ban, because that’s what a buy back effectively is.

you could do it quicker, like australia did, with a gun buy back scheme

Australia had a 60% turn in rate on around 1 million firearms, of which they now have more guns in civ hands than before the buy back. Yet still have a lower rate of gun deaths than we do. Why because they actually have safety nets and give a fuck about their citizens. If we had a 60% turn in rate, there would still be 100+ million firearms in civ hands. 100xs more than what Australia had.

regarding suicides, guns are way too easy. with most other methods, one needs to invest a more mental and physical effort, in which time they might change their minds, or others might intervene

Jumping off a building or hanging or any other form of suicide are the other 50% of suicide. So yes firearms are effective and heavily used but you still have 50% using other methods.

also insert the onion article title

While that’s always a funny bit, it literally doesn’t get the other reasons why it won’t work. Prohibition doesn’t work, but it’s gonna magically work on firearms?

Banning guns isn’t going to bring the numbers down much if any. Way to many guns out there, it would take 100+ years for the guns to dry up and even then you’d still have them. You’re other points are correct, if we want to curb this violence then we need to focus on why this happens (in this case gang violence). So drugs/poverty/education/safety nets all need to be introduced.

And just another point about gun deaths. 2/3rds are suicides, which is a “why” not a “what tool” was used.

This had nothing to do with encryption. 99.99% of breaches aren’t some pen hack, it’s social engineering of someone to gain access. You have all the best software and practices in place, but if the dumbass on the fourth floor decides that they’re gonna let someone in who’s called them from Microsoft, then it doesn’t matter.

They let the FBI into the chat because they don’t know opsec for shit.

Yep, southern ice is like trying to ice skate with one leg while blindfolded and deaf. You got 0 control.

The issue with “snow” in the south isn’t the snow part. It’s the ice. Southern snows usually happen when it’s warm enough to melt the first bit of snow then it drops to freezing temps and the roads turn to sheets of ice. That and the majority in the south don’t have winter tires, they run all seasons because when it does snow, it lasts just a few days at most. Why risk lives when it’s just a few days.

People are seditaty now more than ever. Like 40+% of the US is obese. Fat and joints and health do not go together.

Even Europe is catching up.

Edit: new study is showing 70% for the non-bmi definition.

People don’t move, eat more food than they need…so yea that’s how.

Yes I watched your YT vid. It doesn’t say anything about an ISP logging traffic. It’s literally pointless to do so, it’s why they get court orders to force ISPs to log traffic. The NSA again, gets 90%+ of their info from companies like apple and google. They don’t need to spy on the traffic when they have backdoors into applications people use daily and upload their lives to tiktok and Facebook.
