Have seen a few posts popping up recently just straight up calling fo violence barely disguised as memes

Had thought Lemmy had chilled out a bit on that kinda thing for a while but seems to be coming back now

Anyone else noticing the same or just me?

    Did you really blame a movement that basically existed for twenty years after relevance through US (and Chinese, interestingly enough) machinations and support, and was actually ousted by the communist Vietnamese, on a ‘kill the oppressors’ view?

    Jesus, capitalists will say and do everything to blame the consequences of their actions on everyone else.

      IMO. You have no clue what you’re talking about. You’re just parroting any anti-capitalist rhetoric and feeling superior about it. This is based on the fact that you enjoy calling and insinuating people are stupid

        Who supported the Khmer Rouge?

        Who ended up fighting and ending the genocide?

        Who denied a genocide happened until the 80’s, and continued funding the Khmer Rouge until the late 90’s?

        These are all simple questions with simple, factual answers. You just don’t like the picture the answers paint, and want to justify the intentional outcome of Kissinger’s designs and blame the outcome on the victims.

        It sickens me to see people like the person I was replying to and yourself try and blame the people who were genocided for their genocide and to blame it on a economic ideology that had very little to do with the outcome.

          Haha. You’re the one who mentioned said economic ideology. You are just stirring yourself up for the sake of being stirred up. So now I think you just see enemies wherever you go, and really, that is your personal problem.

          And if you’re feeling sickened, try some pepto

            Okay, troll.

            You have answered no questions, and made no statements that can be falsified.

            Just insulted and took no position that could be shown wrong.

            You’re just a troll, and a lazy one at that.

              Don’t believe that’s true

              That is true

              That is also true

              That is not true. I haven’t sent any insults your way. Simply, I’m questioning the way you logic and how you talk to people, and that insults you. Not my problem

              That is true because I have zero interest in sharing what my position is with you specifically

              Meh… Could be. I think I’ve lost touch with what a troll is if you’re accusing me of being one multiple times

              Not true, but I have zero interest in giving you my best effort

              Looking at your comment history, you have a tendency to talk down to people and not talk to them. You either fail or simply refuse to actually talk to fellow humans in a respectful way, so no. I am not going to give you a statement that can be falsified because I’m pretty confident what the outcome will be, and I have things in my life that are way more important to me than how you feel about the state of people and your assumptions on how the world should work. I’m going to waste as little mental energy on you that I can. It’s pointless to have a legitimate dialogue with you because you and I are both stubborn enough to not have our views changed on matters like this in this way. Think whatever you want to think. That is your personal problem. Not mine.
