Hey commies, you claim to hate Trots but you love decentralized social networks. Curious.

OMG! i want to see a meme of this. lol
Who?
also
Who?
They used to systematically repost everything posted to memes@lemmy.ml to .world due to their raging hatred of the tankie triad
Did they actually stop??? They were saying it was their duty to have a crusade against the troitak
Well they moved to Shit Just Works, the Nazi bar. So probably still the same.
Would be funny if .world defederated from sh.itjust.works, but we all know libs will side with fascists over leftists every single time.
Once more for the people in the back:
we all know libs will side with fascists over leftists every single time.
I've not seen them before but I already can tell they are a raging lib so them being on the ShitJustFash instance makes perfect sense 😁
look if you can't give me proof of it, it can't be a nazi bar using dog whistles
what do you mean it reflects badly if I who loves being there can't see the dog whistles
There are so many times I wonder if it's just a goat alt or someone exactly like them
The hivemind of neoliberals makes them all act the same, so no real difference. Anyone they disagree with is a Tankie who somehow also supports Trump. Anyone who doesn't kiss the ass of their favorite Democrat is actually a Russian shill.
Wowzers!
The person that got all my dumb ass shitty images deleted when he was banned because he reposted the majority of them. It was a bug IIRC
Pic goes incredibly hard, great job!

You love to hear the story, again and again,
Of how it all got started way back when,
The monument is right in your face,
Sit and listen for a while to the name of the place,
The World,

Hey hey this is innacurate to link us to Stalin
we work for George Soros too
Is there anyone that can explain what any of this means?
For a while now there's been a group of NAFO-adjacent shit-stirrers obsessing over the malign influence of the so-called 'tankie triad' which is lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net. This style of posting has been dubbed 'feudposting', and I'm parodying it in the OP.
The joke I am making is that if you're going for ominous names the 'tankie troika' is way more menacing and russian. I made this meme taking that bit to its ridiculous conclusion.
I guess I'm still confused and maybe I'm not with it enough to understand. I just looked up that nafo thing and that's actually pretty hilarious.
You could also describe the significance of the word "troika", both in its literally translation, but also in reference to its cultural significance.
There's a lot to the troika, it's been associated with Russia for centuries. Literally means 'a group of three'.
The configuration of two horses galloping with one horse trotting in the middle allowed for high speeds across vast distances and is commonly referenced in russian literature, particularly authors like Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, etc.
It's also pretty associated with the trinity (troitsa). Triplicity is a major feature of Russian folklore and culture in general; the three brothers, the three trials, three roads, three kisses, etc.
For revolutionaries it was the smallest organizing unit for a number of reasons and was present in both early anarchist and bolshevik cells. Some advantages were that it was agile, hard to infiltrate, and doesn't need a leader, rather a shared direction. In many ways an anti-hierarchical organizing pattern.
In the Stalin era it got a bit more of a sinister connotation as a 'troika' would be the group of officials signing off on sentences.
troika is a defunct game studio founded by fallout creator tim cain and his friends. Lemmy is the simpsons character who is friends with Carl. I'm not sure what the chariot has to do with anything, maybe OP just likes Ben Hur?
What. Troika used to refer to Russian three horse wagons and was later used for the Kamenev, Zinoviev, Stalin period of co-leadership. Three person rule or triumvirate.
@robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net is doing a bit, it's a joke deliberately explaining things in the wrong way.
