I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

    Why did they bold the line about the left wanting to dismantle the IMF, NATO, etc? It certainly wasn’t because it was telling users to wage ideological war, it was to highlight unacceptable ideology.

    Stop sealioning.

      They actually didn’t bold it lol. But let’s assume you meant “include”.

      Why did hexbear include it in their announcement? Why highlight an ideology they want to target while specifically telling their userbase, who they acknowledge are trolls, to try and play nice during the propaganda war on this new (to them) instance? Could it be that they are manufacturing an archetype of the average Lemmy World user?

      Why would Lemmy World admins want to sign up for that? And why do you keep pretending that they just wanted to federate and be chill?

        They did bold it:

        It isn’t bolded in the original text:

        Either you’re lying, like you keep accusing everyone else, or you don’t care enough about the truth to check. In both cases it’s clear you’re sealioning.

          the line about the left wanting to dismantle the IMF, NATO, etc

          Literally nothing in that line is bolded. Maybe get your eyes checked?

          Or I’m right, and you do lie about things you post for some reason.

          In both cases it’s clear you’re sealioning

          I thought you might not know what that meant, but now I know you don’t.

          Notice you have nothing to say about the actual meat of what I said though. And we all know why that is.

          • It is in the Left’s interest for these organizations to be demolished” is bolded. That is the line Cowbee is referring to, “these organizations” are “organizations such as NATO, the IMF, and the World Bank” as written in the previous bullet point.

            I showed you images of them bolding the part about the left’s interests in their quotations. You can drop the act, I posted photo evidence of it.

              Let’s try this again:

              Why did hexbear include it in their announcement? Why highlight an ideology they want to target while specifically telling their userbase, who they acknowledge are trolls, to try and play nice during the propaganda war on this new (to them) instance?

                No, you already lied to my face about the bolding, which the Lemmy.world mods absolutely did. I’m not entertaining your sealioning or gaslighting.

                  So this is really all you have under the surface? Latch on to a throwaway when you can’t argue with the substance?

                  For the audience: Lemmy World didn’t want to federate with an instance of loud and proud Leftist shitposters, despite them pinky-swearing to play nice while achieving their goal of dismantling western propaganda on the instance and continuing their war on Liberals in the fediverse.

                  Cowbee says this is because Lemmy World hates Communists, not just communities that are obsessed with their political ideology, shitpost and “dunk” all day, and feel a sense of duty to purge Lemmy World of its evil politics and replace them with their own.

                    For the audience, which thus far seems to be no more than 3 people all agreeing with me, you were caught lying and then pretended to my face that you couldn’t see the irrefutable proof I gave, then dodged every question because you can’t actually engage with the substance of the argument after slandering me and insulting me over and over again.
