Liberals: “Russia is losing 500,000 men every day due to Zelensky’s large muscles. Putin’s nukes are CGI, also uranium and radiation isn’t that big of a deal anyway. They have no guns and must use muskets from the 1600s.”

Also liberals: “Russia is conducting a massive psyop on a random, small, and irrelevant website that has existed several years before most of us because…”

The blahaj thing is like “we can’t be racist, a black man is our president” combined with some good old misrepresentation.
Blahaj wasn’t accused of being transphobic. Blahaj had transphobic users pointed out, which were not dealth with.
In other words: We proved it was transphobic.

the admin of blahaj zone literally did fail at removing transphobia & created an environment that allowed chasers to prey on trans people. that’s, like, why we defederated…

@geophysicist@discuss.tchncs.de claiming that queer people are faking it is incredibly uncool and offensive. Stop doing it. You would not claim that a black man isn’t really black because he says something you disagree with because you’d get knocked the hell out. Don’t claim people’s identities are fake because our politics are to the left of yours. You’re literally just abusing other lgbt people with that sentiment by essentially stating “unless your politics align with mine I will deny you the right to your gender”.

@oatscoop@midwest.social blahaj.zone did defend a transphobe, refusing to demod a person engaging in transphobia because they didn’t want to rock the boat and lose the activity of that community definitely unsafe for trans people. They make decisions in favour of activity over trans safety. Being trans or having a shork aesthetic is literally irrelevant to whether they make good decisions for trans people, you wouldn’t claim that Caitlyn Jenner is automatically safe for trans people by virtue of being trans, and if you would then you’re an idiot because she’d sacrifice trans lives for her wealth any day of the week.

trans-friendly is when ikea shark plushie

Notice how the two datapoints offered by oatscoop are – even taken at face value and with no qualification – not remotely refutations of the claims. Like, are we going to say no trans person can ever defend a transphobe or that an instance is going to be safe and chaser-free because it’s named after a stuffed shark?

I have a hard time keeping track when it comes to how powerful Russia is.

Are they omnipotent techno-gods? They’re controlling even the tiniest websites, and with the mere swish and click of a mouse can decide who the President of the United States is. They’re turbo-evil deities playing 3D chess.

Are they peasants with no brains? They’re sending millions of people into a human meat grinder armed with shovels, and they don’t know what “tank” or “airplane” are. They’re orcs who are born out of mud holes.

Something something, , send Xeet.

Lmao what if my IKEA shark is a replica because they stopped selling legit ones?

Do I need to hand in my trans card?

I wish I wasn’t so easily manipulated by Russia 😭

It’s wild that the liberal take from 2016 is that Russian disinformation is the only reason people oppose democrats.

If only someone did a study to see how valid that was. If only. But I guess we’ll never know. For some reason this text is clickable. Can’t figure out why, but its definitely not because it’s a link to a study about this very subject.

EDIT: I accidentally clicked on the text and quoted it

We demonstrate, first, that exposure to Russian disinformation accounts was heavily concentrated: only 1% of users accounted for 70% of exposures. Second, exposure was concentrated among users who strongly identified as Republicans. Third, exposure to the Russian influence campaign was eclipsed by content from domestic news media and politicians. Finally, we find no evidence of a meaningful relationship between exposure to the Russian foreign influence campaign and changes in attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior.

update: trans people are too attractive for beauty contests, too smart to play chess, too strong, tall, and fast to be a professional athlete, always have the moral high ground, can cause floods, alter the environment of the planet single handedly, and can kill god.

They “accused the blahaj admin of making an unsafe space for trans people, but that admin is also trans and blahaj is a shark from ikea”

Finest liberal argument.

I have one tankie trying to unironically argue with me that the UK is a vassal state to the Us Empire

Noo! We used to rule the waves we cannot be a vassal noooooo!

Like the he’s the rebel alliance that is bringing down the evil empire with lemmy shitposting

Please read even a single book that isn’t Harry Potter Im begging you.

Somebody explain to this “oatscoop” dingus what a chaser is

Seriously, we defedded from them because they (among other things) did not ban people for making threads about which surgeries make trans men undateable to them. I saw the thread where they discussed our callout of that, 90% of the posts started with “cis person here” and several immediately went into creeper territory and started discussing girldick (without any actual knowledge how a pre-OP trans woman’s dick works, ofc). Blahajzone isn’t a trans instance anymore, it has largely been taken over by insufferable cissie redditors when they accepted the r/196 lifeboat that ended up turning into 3/4 of their userbase and i pitty every trans person still holding out there.

Still waiting on my check from Putler, anyone else noticing they get more delayed every month?
