Hello! I'm a POC (black/latino) autistic/ADHD dragon from Brazil. I use he/they/it pronouns, and my interests are usually gaming and drawing. Reddit refugee after getting banned multiple times for "threatening violence" for standing up against fascism.

  • Those people were not being ironic, no. I think it's just a phenomenon that is excessively more common amongst internet MLs. Real life MLs are okay for the most part. Internet MLs are pretty much a cult that will try to take over ANY leftist community or be the dominant form of leftist discourse through any means necessary and will excessively push propaganda from literal fascists because they happen to be against liberals.

    All I'm saying is that an embarrassing amount of leftists are terminally online and unable to do anything to try to push leftism other than argue with liberals online and spout hate towards those they see as "betraying" leftism. Those people don't actually do any organization IRL, which to me is a blessing... but sometimes that doesn't work. Brazil, and by extension all of South America, has a very bad problem with MLs dominating online AND IRL discourse, making it hard for other forms of leftism to be considered or even debated in good faith.

  • Real life marxists tend to be okay, I don't mind them. But, online those people literally try to dominate ALL discourse in leftism to the point where every single contact people have with leftists is someone who believes those things unironically.

  • I am aware of that. I'm just like... I see a lot of "leftists" that think "successful socialist projects" have to replicate the USSR 100% with everything good and bad about it mixed in. If your definition of "building a better world" is killing or enslaving people for disagreeing with you, you are not a leftist, you're a nazbol.

    And like, the USSR clearly does not exist anymore, and for most of its existence it made a joke out of socialist principles.

  • No. I've seen marxist-leninists, maoists, and anyone in that area of thought arguing the following:

    • LGBTQ+ identities are bourgeois degeneracy
    • Trans people are a capitalist invention to divide workers
    • Nazis have a point when it comes to nationalism
    • Assad and Putin are leftists
    • Anarchism has never been tried successfully (because every time someone tried they got betrayed by MLs and executed by them for wrongthink)
    • Animal Farm is capitalist propaganda
    • Killing millions of people is necessary for a better world
    • States are 100% necessary for the development of socialism
    • China is communist or will be communist by 2050
    • Ukraine is a Nazi state who deserves to be invaded
    • Russia taking children from Ukraine and relocating them is just them being nice and removing them out of the warzone
    • Anarchists are all children who don't know better
    • The socialist state must uphold "traditional values"
    • Stalin exclusively killed Nazis
    • The only valid leftist theory is the one that argues Marxism-Leninism is correct
    • "Socialist" police are a good thing because they don't serve capital, they serve the people
    • Leftists who don't agree with us are enemies of the revolution and should be enslaved because they will attempt to overthrow our successful socialist state

    If you think ANY of those arguments are valid for leftism, then I'm sorry, but I don't want you around me.

  • The problem lies when one particular set of "leftists" thinks the best way foward is to have a literal capitalist state with a red flag and execute anyone who could even be a minimal obstacle to that.

  • Sorry if I don't want to ally with people who constantly talk about killing other leftists (aka all of lemmy.ml).

  • I'm Brazilian actually, but I don't appreciate organizations from ANYWHERE in the world interfering with legal purchases.

  • Seems like while Australia doesn't export that much bad stuff, the stuff that does get exported somehow manages to be even worse than other places, for some reason. Collective Shout is a group of TERFs, and Murdoch... well we don't need to talk about him. And also another bad thing Australia exported was videogame censorship, like the time they banned Hotline Miami 2.

  • The biggest TERFs in the planet seem to be either Australian or British, and I don't think that's a coincidence. Also, Murdoch has caused untold damage to America that is gonna take decades or even a century to fix.

  • This build has had a dozen iterations, but now it's at a place I find good. And no, none of these at all! Aside from both the GPU and CPU not liking undervolts, so I run minimal modifications.

  • Ye, the white one is a Mustang I bought like 2 months ago cause I haven't gotten one in like 13 years!

  • Cause I do stream, actually! The mic isn't that great but it works fine enough.

  • I would love to do it for either, however, neither of them really like undervolts unfortunately. Some games I have will hard crash with an UV on either CPU or GPU, so I run CPU stock and GPU I run with a minimum 3D frequency of 2500. HOWEVER, I have very decent case fans, hell I even got two 140mms from Montech in the mail today, and they all working in unison have my GPU and CPU idling at similar temperatures to yours, haha. While in a game I get like 54 ºC on GPU and 68 ºC on CPU.

  • I don't like minimalist stuff tbh, I've always been a fan of showing off my game collection in my desktop.

  • Nope, that's where the machine gun ball would be since this is a Sherman. It was probably stolen eventually. The tank probably got bogged down and abandoned where it stood.

  • I am very aware of that! I don't like Hamas' governance or how they treat Gazans in general. Israel just happens to be even worse for some reason, despite being the so-called "civilized" country. Israel funded Hamas exactly because they knew they would undermine the PLO and prevent a Palestinian socialist state from forming in the region.
