As a point of clarification, historically russians force huge amounts of Slavic men into war because russians don’t value human life

What about people ignoring the possibility of a comet hitting the earth?

No they don’t

The first iPhone was released in 2007. Android development started in 2003, with the first pitches to phone manufacturers in 2005. So yeah, Android wasn’t merely a copy of iPhone.

Predictable “West bad” comment when criticizing a massacre committed by the CCP

They don’t. It’s another bad-faith psyop, just like all conservative campaigns. Conservatives are far more likely to be pedos than the left

Capitalism doesn’t require rational behavior; all it requires is a system that allows some people to make passive income by exploiting other people, based on the idea of private property. CEOs, for example, don’t care about what’s good for the business; they care about extracting as much value from the business and the workers as they can get away with before moving on to the next victim.

Boosting liberally on Mastodon is encouraged bc that’s the only way posts get exposure without an algorithm. I boost every post I see as long as it isn’t offensive or low quality.

Stop gatekeeping dialectics, tankie

It doesn’t matter what Einstein thought about Lenin; if he had a good argument for Lenin being a good guy, that argument would stand on its own, and the content (that’s “material conditions” in redfash-speak) of that argument should be discussed. Additionally, it’s not necessary for me to offer a counter-narrative to point out a logical fallacy; that’s shifting the burden of proof, another fallacy.

lol still doubling down on your irrationality. There are some contradictions, but a dialectical analysis shows that being irrational is, in fact, progressive; am I right, comrade?

To get a good feed on Mastodon, you have to set it up yourself. The best way to do this, as others have mentioned, is to choose a few hashtags of interest and follow them. This will show posts from accounts talking about those things, at which point you should start following accounts liberally (you can always unfollow later). Those accounts, in turn, will “boost” posts from people they follow, which is how you get exposed to the conversations happening there.

It’s this process for populating your feed with content that’s interesting to you that many people find intimidating. The down side is that you don’t automatically get fed content like on Twitter; the up side is that you have a lot more control over what content you see.

Imagine when someone points out you’re being illogical by using an appeal to authority and you respond by… doubling down on an appeal to authority. That’s some Marx-tier dialectical thinking there, comrade
