Any context for those of us who haven’t read enough theory?
The man in the middle is Caleb Maupin, the CowBee of Streaming.
Any context for those of us over 40?
CowBee is a lemmy user who posts large swathes of text and quotes random bits of theory to back up support Russia/China/North Korea. Dengism is the state-capitalism side of “communism”. A loser who hides behind ‘the theory’ to push authoritarian state propaganda.
Ohh, I’ve interacted with Cowbee before. I assumed both their username and your prior comment were referencing something else I was unfamiliar with.
Thanks for helping me not feel like a confused old man.
Too afraid to tag @cowbee@hexbear.net ?
About as ‘afraid’ as stepping in dog shit on the sidewalk
I guess you’re just the kind to talk about people behind their backs… 🙄
Idk out of all the MList users who could be considered “tankies” cowbee is actually fairly chill and friendly.
And I have a ton of red-imperialists blocked lmao.
While he’s pretty capable of being polite, if you say something he disagrees with and then defend yourself when he replies, you’ll be met with a lot of circular logic and claims that you’d agree with him if you read theory (with the linked theory always being something so long that you’d never read the whole thing unless you started off mostly agreeing with it and there being obviously dumb things right from the outset, so no one who could recognise a basic fallacy could agree with it). When he’s politely arguing for evil things using flawed logic, the politeness stops being the important part.
