I wouldn't call you a tankie for using quotes of faux communist figures saying genuinely pro-communism things.

Their messaging is usually on point. Its their actions where they shift from communism to authoritarian state capitalism or outright fascism.

Way too many complex words and phrases for him though

But not for the mythical Great President Regan in their heads. They do the same with Trump; build up an imaginary figure around the real person and see the imaginary as reality.

I know a lot of people look down on trolling, but this plainly reveals that it can be used for God's work.

"God" is a consummate asshole.

We all deserve better.

edit: Perhaps, in this context, one might say "Doing the hordes' work" or similar. 🤌🏼🖖🏼✊🏼

By God I meant Ganesh, he is hardcore and everybody of refinement thinks "Ganesh" when they read "God", it's just too boring to say Ganesh every single time.

You're not saying that Ganesh is an asshole, are you? I swear to God...

Ganepati ❤️, patron deity of motorcyclists and skateboarders.

I'd probably pick quotes that don't specifically mention "ruling class" directly, kinda gives the game away.

Not bad.. People think Reagan famously said back in the 80's that it was essential for the workers to not give up their arms, when it was Marx. Nice that you're keeping up a long tradition of mis-attribution WRT Reagan.

Godspeed my good man!

Is this what happens when you listen to "We Didn't Start The Fire" backwards?

[–] notabot@piefed.social 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fire the start, didn't we?

It's Yoda admitting to arson.

Come on guy, he's just asking questions. No crime in that!

I used to attribute Sandor Clegane quotes over the top of images of Winston Churchill but this is way better

Needs to redesign the background though, these colours will never work on boomers , they are programmed to never trust red, even in traffic lights

This is fun. I'm doing Mao Zedong.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

While I like the sentiment, Ho Chi Minh very intentionally styled his english after speeches given by americans like Regan (genius propaganda move), which is why his quotes sound so much more plausible as legitimate regan lines. Mao wasn't eloquent in nearly the same way, which is a big part of why those so clearly aren't regan quotes. It just doesn't sound like him.

That’s amazing

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

My parents somehow dislike Reagan. My father remembers the job market as being horrible during his term, among other things.

If only they could apply everything they disliked about Reagan to the current regime.

It's funny cause Vietnam's richest billionaire just escaped the death sentence for allegations over 8 crimes

Try quotes supporting minorities made by Trump. That will really confuse them.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There was that time where trools were posting Biden quotes but using Trump's face in conservative spaces and getting a lot of likes.

Except the rich enjoy way more rights and privileges, including child rape and ignoring any and all laws.

[–] Sektor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's the only way.
