We’re just going to get Don’t Mess With the Zohan 2 but in a ‘shoot then cry’ kind of way

All but one of the sources it cited either state the opposite of what chatgpt said they do or don’t exist

“Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine” by Anne Applebaum

From a guardian review of the book: “Though sympathetic to the sentiments behind it, [Applebaum] ultimately doesn’t buy the Ukrainian argument that Holodomor was an act of genocide.”

“The Holodomor: An Introduction” by Bohdan Klid and Alexander J. Motyl

This book doesn’t exist as far as I’m aware

"The Holodomor and the Film ‘Bitter Harvest’: Soviet and Post-Soviet Memory in Ukraine” by Serhy Yekelchyk

This book doesn’t exist either

"The Ukrainian Famine: Sources of Information at the Hoover Institution” by Robert Conquest

This book also doesn’t seem to exist

Lemmy.ml added them at some point I think, because when I checked over on their instance they were using the r-slur

imo there’s a big difference between someone venting about a desire for racial supremacy over people they see as genetic inferiors born to serve them with an overblown provocative statement, and people venting about being frustrated with men being misogynistic creeps to them with an overblown provocative statement.

Especially since my original post wasn’t even saying “kill all men”, I just used it as an example, like, I don’t think that all cis men are bad, there are plenty of great ones, but I’ve had enough older cis men tell me how “incredibly r*peable” I look in DMs or send me unsolicited dick pics and stuff, and like had another one being a creep at me earlier today, that I was feeling more frustrated with them earlier. So forgive me for inserting some of my frustration into a comment barely anyone will see under some random meme.

It was just a dumb joke, not something meant to be serious.

Take it like “kill all men” statements, when people say that they’re not suggesting a serious and coherent plan for the mass genocide of half the human population, they’re just venting frustration about men being dicks to them in their personal life

Unironically, enforce mandatory pronoun tags on Reddit then immediately give any cishet he/him a 3 day time out (was going to add on a bit going “the second he does X” but ngl, I think just a blanket temporary suspension approach would work way better until we figure this whole he/him thing out)

All you know is that I think you and your buddies are removed.

anticommunists try to go 5 minutes without yelling slurs at people challenge [impossible]

“The best union organiser is the boss” sort of vibe

as always, death to america

oh yeah, in some places you have progressive conservatives who still want to kill the homeless people but skip out on harming the queer people and ethnic minorities

Socialism is when the government does stuff and everyone is poor!
And when everyone has nothing, it’s communism!

Lemmy.world pre emptively defederated them before hexbear federated with wider lemmy because hexbear’s a very active community of communists who’ve been on an undefederated fork of Lemmy for three years or so.

Hexbear users are very active in calling out anything they perceive as reactionary thought (transphobia, racism, ableism, homophobia, support for imperialism, colonialist apologia, etcetera) and pretty frequently get hostile about it, one of the stated intentions of them federating was to bully bigots into silence in order to make all of lemmy a more left wing space. Hexbear has a broader definition of what constitutes as reactionary thought than most people do though so they’ll frequently attack liberals too.

Basically they felt hexbear’s community wouldn’t mesh well with lemmy.world

If tankies defend trans people and liberals are attacking them then I’m with the tankies

Basically a single transphobe came in, a load of trans hexbear users started bullying them and mocking them and that boosted the visibility of the post so that more transphobes came into the comments, but because you’re not federated with hexbear all you’re seeing is the transphobes and some people doing pushback on them

There’s a big difference between wanting trump to die and thinking that trump will actually be executed or suffer any real consequences for his crimes beyond a slap on the wrist and maybe some house arrest - of course Trump won’t face justice, like Bush, like Clinton, like Obama and like Biden he will only ever fall upwards and live comfortably for the rest of his life. Wanting awful people to face justice isn’t “living in fantasy land” it’s just being dissaffected with the reality that evil people will never face any kind of justice - I also want my country to be actually accepting of trans people and for the NHS to work as it should and for the police to not be institutionally racist, but I know it’s not going to happen.

And regarding the identity politics thing, I agree regarding liberal identity politics when Im talking with a materialist communist who’s criticising it from a left wing perspective but you’re not a communist, you’re a “”“liberal”“” criticising it from a right wing perspective because you’re mad that trans people are daring to criticise Biden and to call you a transphobe for being transphobic.
If your “allyship” that is entirely conditional on trans people being respectable and heteronormative enough for you to accept entirely consists of talking down to those trans people you do accept and telling them that they’re not allowed to criticise Biden too much or your fragile “allyship” will be retracted then it isn’t worth shit.
