All they need now is to promise VR and self driving cars, and they’ll have a hype-tech bingo.
When authoritarians don’t fear consequences, there’s is no limit to what they are willing to commit.

Hello welcome to the internet, having the collective maturity of an 8 year old boy since 1998.
Glad I went with Bomb Rush Cyberfunk over this.
I hear his son runs a burger joint, to his father’s dismay.
Delightfully Plutonic Seymour!
This has been a thing in Japan even before the population crisis. This has been a thing in other Asian countries besides Japan! What’s next? “Japan’s economy is so bad, they’re using paper for their doors!” Japan’s population and economic problems are apparent. Why does CNN feel it needs to mislead in order to punctuate it?
I think most are, such as jp for Japan, or ca for canada. I’m not a web designer though.
The domain is, but the reason they chose the domain is because it shares the initials of marxist-leninist.
Seriously though, did Youtube recommend us all that video?
I have seen my fair share of tankies here, so there definitely is a presence of them here. But I also do think a lot of the complaints come from people who assume any leftist user or post is also a “tankie.”
Like I do see a lot of leftist memes posted to memes@lemmy.ml, which might be where a lot of the complaints are coming from. Likewise there has been a lot of drama with hexbear federating with a lot of communities that were previously shielded from them.
Considering what is known about lemmy, its creators, and the original instances, it seems to hold up. But regardless of the true meaning of ml, the political leanings of lemmy.ml were very far left before the reddit migration, and I feel that’s the reason why you see such an aggressive presence of communist memes on ml’s meme page.
This site is in the process of fighting its own culture war. You have the hardcore communists, anarchists and tankies who were here the longest, and the meme page is on one of their original domains (the ml in lemmy.ml is supposed to stand for marxist-leninist ). And then you have the twitter and reddit refugees who in general lean more center left, liberal, or libertarian. ml was the domain that was advertise the most to people on reddit, and world was where people were directed to once ml’s sign ups were limited.
memes@lemmy.ml is kinda going throught the gaybar effect with the influx of redditors. Like sometimes when a gaybar gets popular, it attracts non-queer customers, who tell their friends, who invite their friends, to the point the original queer customer base gets crowded out. I imagine that’s what the marxist-leninist community base is feeling now that a lot of former redditors call their instance home, and their meme page is the defacto meme community of lemmy.
As long as the mods here allow it, and as long as people keep upvoting, this problem isn’t going away, no matter how many complaint memes get posted. The best solution I can think of is boost other meme pages on different instances, maybe with mod teams that are more willing to keep the page apolitical (which is hard to do in general cause everyone’s definition of political is different.) kbin has a fairly large meme community that could use some more love, same with memes@sopuli.xyz. Hell, considering most users are from world or shitjustworks, I’m surprise I don’t see their local meme pages get more use.
Well then they wouldn’t be here would they.
What I don’t get is what is stopping people from joining a smaller instance more adjusted to their tastes? Like if you join large instance made for the general user, don’t be surprised if you see a political opinion or meme you disagree with. world and ml tend to block only the most egregious of instances.
There are plenty of instances that cater to the political and social leanings of people if you really can’t stand being outside a bubble, but fediverse isn’t simply one site, and you can’t bully or complain your way into shaping the culture of lemmy or fediverse in general. That is part of the beauty of this site, and for how many here complained about the homogeneity of reddit, its funny how now the big complaint is people are seeing opinions they don’t like.
There are simple solutions to all of that, but it involves being proactive in the users and communities you block, and being selective of the instance(s) you join.
