I actually unlocked the ultimate grift: getting on the payroll for every foreign government all at once in return for my single digit posts per day on obscure internet forum for linux nerds.
Me, I'm not on anybody's payroll. But I'm trying to be. Once I build up my modlog enough as a freelancer, the plan is to print it out and mail it to the nearest Chinese embassy so I can finally quit my day job.
"Thanks for joining us for the Militant Lemmy 2025 awards show! It is going to be a great year for autocrats boys and girls. A special thanks to all our disenfranchised westerners, remember without your misguided support tyrants everywhere might feel unwelcome.
For our first award this year we are celebrating the most hypocritical poster. We are not just talking about any old conservative hypocrite here, we are talking about people so hypocritical they don't even remember what they actually agreed or disagreed with to begin with. People who are so contradictory they make doublethink seem like a fun meditative practice.
Alright, the votes are in. This is going to be a wild one folks! This years winner is none other than DIVA!!!"
See, this proves even if you are a lonely pusher of shitty propaganda you to can get recognized for your efforts. Congratulations, you really do deserve it.
Idk why you call my hypocritical or disingenuous, I'm actually very ideologically consistent and earnest, I just like to joke around as well.
that aside, I don't need your recognition when I already have like 12 different paychecks rolling in
Why do you care about tankies so much?
You can just let people be wrong. It costs nothing.
They're obviously hardliners to the point of comedic effect but why do you care so much to argue?
Do you really expect someone who's so set in their opinions as to join .ml to read your comment and just go, "oh damn, guess I'll just stop believing in the things I believe in and believe in entirely different things"?
Do you genuinely think you're so convincing or do you just enjoy a good pissing contest?
Yes, I agree, spreading Russia's misinformation should be combated and illegal.
We need to immediately close and fine Facebook, X and Reddit.
Do you believe that engaging in arguments will change that? If anything your helping them by boosting their visibility via engagement metrics.
Changing a tankie's mind with arguing is a sisyphean task.
Tankies are the worst of the worst. They ban people for nonsense, brigade people with alts, and are devoid of candor. I have talked with hundreds of people who have been mistreated and abused by them including myself.
What I say here has no bearing on anything and I am not stopping anyone from doing anything. I have no power, I am not a mod, and I don't have alts.
I was literally having a fun fantasy in the face of someone that is without a doubt disingenuous. It is taking it to a higher place beyond what is going on. Absurdity meets absurdity. I get you don't get it and that is okay.
I have no love for tankies. It just seemed like a lot of effort and mental energy went into that so I thought there may be some interesting lore there.
Lol pure projection
