They’re shit “facts” whose purpose is to hide how oligarchies work.

OP is a cryptocurrency bait-and-switch poster. They make these posts and then reply to comments with crypto shilling.

It’s not late stage capitalism or crony capitalism or über capitalsm: it’s capitalism.

a monarchy with no real power

I don’t know if it’s that you don’t know anything about the royal family, or that you don’t know anything about how power works, or both.

Who knew how many reactionaries would get flushed out of the bushes by a little off-hand comment about my personal life?

davel , 5 months ago to memes in They must have had great chemistry together

I thought no one would give a shit, but a lot of people really, really do seem to, given the number of up/down votes and the length of this conversation thread.

That is honestly quite adorable. I considered it.

Yes, I saw what the one kbin user said. And thank you for telling me what my job is.

Honestly I’m impressed that you’re still mansplaining a lemmy.ml admin—the archetypal Lemmy instance—on Lemmy etiquette, Lemmy UI flaws, how he’s a a fuck-up & an asshole, and how to do his job. You really know how to win hearts & minds.

You’re welcome to make the case for UI changes on GitHub through issue tickets and/or pull requests.

This story sounds suss, but I want it to be true because https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/d60d74a4-b663-463b-a89e-11f89d4a2021.png

It was a very good post, actually, and I didn’t relish deleting them. You’re welcome to resubmit it, in fact. But lemmy.ml users don’t like having their “Local” page filled up with several copies of the same post, which almost surely is why they were downvoted. That web UI feature is popular and works as intended; it’s not supposed to dedupe. Our users often flag posts as spam when this happens, which we admins then have to deal with.

I don’t know why NATO liberals keep thinking they speak for us all.
