I’ve blocked Cowbee because they kept trying to justify China rubber staping the genocide in Gaza by voting for the Trump UNSC proposal after 2 years of genocide. Some people will justify anything China does.
China didn’t vote for the proposal, though. They abstained. I agree voting against would have been good, but it’s strange to claim they voted for it.
Abstaining is nothing more than a cowardly way of voting in favor. They have veto rights and they know it will pass if they don’t veto it.
Silence is consent in the most literal terms here.
The abstain vote was very useful to filter out those who actually care about human rights from those who only speak about it to further their own cause. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubeCHFGZM-E
The PRC abstained, they did not vote for it, and I explained why they did so. You responded with a bunch of unrelated Bad Empanada tweets, started calling China “imperialist,” and took an extremely non-materialist viewpoint, insulting other users, and upholding Bad Empanada’s shit takes. I can and do critique China, but not all critique is good by virtue of existing, which is what I called you out on.
Now let’s do this exact same meme but with Hexbear and being right about all of the nazi bar instances
Cowbee is the goat
For some reason I’m glad I don’t know who cowbee is. Sometimes outside looking in is the best position to find yourself in.
Cowbee is just a stupid commie
i love stupid commies 💖
♥️
He’s everyone’s favorite stupid commie, thank you very much.
You’re also not stupid at all. I often wonder if you’re actually four people. If you’re not, props for being that good.
Thanks for the kind words, but no, I’ve got a long road ahead in my studies before I consider myself educated in the field of Marxism-Leninism. I’m just one person, I just like to yap!
Your contributions are greatly appreciated, so keep yapping!
Thanks!
Can confirmLol
This made my day, as I sip my cuppa!
Assuming maybe wrongfully that they are a man, (i’m uncomfortable with the use of they/them to designate a singular person, english isn’t my first language), yeah, I’m seriously impressed by his patience and kindness.
I felt so ashamed to give small answers to him that one time he corrected me with a very understandable and precise paragraph, that I actually became motivated to read a bit of theory.
That’s what i call a good influencer.
Using “they” for a singular person has been used since at least the 14th century, so there’s no need to feel uncomfortable with it. I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia page on Singular they, which touches on its history.
A similar example is “you.” “You” used to be only a plural, with “thou” being the singular, but over time it fell out of fashion and now “you” can be used as singular or plural, like how “they” can be singular or plural.
Singular “they” was criticised by some people hundreds of years after it started being used. But language cannot be prescribed; it is determined by how people use it.
Oh, thank you for the info, but when i said that I am uncomfortable with that pronoun, i said it in the sense “I’m not used to this pronoun and don’t know how to use it properly”.
If I understood well, it can be used like he-his, she-her, they-theirs? I gotta use gender neutral pronouns more often. Sounds better than “it-its”
Oh that makes sense, sorry I misunderstood!
Yep, they/them/theirs is used in the same place as he/him/his or she/her/hers. It/it/its should not be used for people unless someone explicitly says those are their preferred pronouns. “It” is typically used for objects and non-human animals, so it could be seen as rude to refer to a human as “it.” If unsure, use they/them.
The correct pronoun is the preferred pronoun.
Some apps don’t display modified usernames, so it would just show “cowbee” instead of “cowbee [he/they]”
Ah, I sit corrected, my apologies to /u/@[email protected]
Reasons for Behavior:
✅ I didn’t read the things he keeps trying to make me read
Cowbee is responsible for exterminating, at minimum, ten million White cishet capitalist men, and even that estimate might be too low.
Reasons for behavior:
✅ I was not aware of how BASED he was
I didn’t realize the avatar was so cute
There are 3 others!
I always thought your pfp was cute, for some reason i thought it was an OC or a comic, cool to finally see the cowbee quadrinity
Thank you! It’s from a Korean artist, yeyepainting on instagram! Shamelessly stolen though.
Wow, they have great art; though I will never disassociate that dog with the “marxist-leninist man on lemmy” ever again 😩
This dog is a COMMUNIST
Haha, I feel bad, but the art is TOO CUTE I can’t not use it (unless they personally ask me to stop or mention that it can’t be used, which I haven’t seen). The vibe of the one I use is too perfect for explaining how I feel every day, lmao
Don’t feel bad but just know, now whenever I will ever see a watercolor painting of a dog I will think of the immortal science of marxism 😌
Truly we are blessed 🐶
Hexbear needs this as a soft PPB emoji:
CBB
or CowBee’s Butt 🤓
Amazing, lmao! I’d feel less bad about the implications of using an example of the horrors of industrialized farming to shock libs, but at the same time I wouldn’t want to presume ownership over the original artist’s creations.
Reasons for behavior:
✅ I didn’t realize the avatar was so cute
i started to respect cowbee early on 🫡🫡
cowbee is one of the most patient posters I’ve seen
Sometimes so much that I want to ask him this.
Patience is important to sway people
The others that are too far gone aren’t worth trying to convince, but providing good sources is still useful for all the lurkers in the margins
You too, wish I could have your attitude when the fash get mad at you
I have no idea who this is or what this is about. I’m sorry for being out of the loop, cowbee.
Cowbee is a user who makes a lot of comments in discussion and debate threads about socialism and communism. IMO he’s extremely patient and gives very detailed explanations/arguments. Some people disagree with him (which is OK, of course), but some of those people are IMO rude and/or dishonest about it. This form is a joke about that.
Cowbee might say that great man theory isn’t real, but I think they’re a real great person
Cowbee has answered so many of my questions and been very patient.
We all deserve to do him a favour and read his ml reading list
I think ML isn’t for me but @Cowbee has been super patient in answering my questions and I’d love to consider them a friend
We can be friends!
HELL YEAH <3
♥️
