What has he done to deserve an apology?
cowbee is one of the most patient posters I’ve seen
You too, wish I could have your attitude when the fash get mad at you
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
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
♥️
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
this is a psyop
Genuinely asking: what do you mean by this?

you were psyop’d
Cowbee might say that great man theory isn’t real, but I think they’re a real great person

I actually love all chronically online weirdos. The fediverse would be nothing without those willing to sacrifice hours of their time daily to a platform like this. We owe you everything.
I’ll take days or weeks off, but I know when I’ll come back the same people will be hammering keys in a game of dueling pianos with infinite energy and infinite free time.
This is the big top, and the clowns never stop dancing in the rings for anyone who pays admission. In this case admission is 0, the value proposition doesn’t stop.
Kind of rude to call him a “chronically online weirdo”, TBH.
Was that worse than clown?
Really working towards the next apology form, aren’t you?
Lol yeah, I’ll be definitely be posting one of these memes soon, you got me.
This is just someone who thinks communists are Nazis and generally has a history of trying to insult me personally. You can ignore, nothing they say actually means anything.
It’s true, in general my commentary is meaningless and you can ignore it, but look at you not doing that, look at you knowing me. With how little I interact with this platform comparatively to you, that’s genuinely funny. Love you sweety!
I can remember things, it doesn’t mean I let them impact me.
Is that the motivational speech you give yourself in the mirror every morning? I’m rubber you’re glue? My perfect memory for personal insults is infinite but my reaction is apathetic. Sure Jan.
You had to go back through my comments to get those links, did you feel it again? I’ve never gone back through your comments except one screenshot I took. That’s funny.
I suggest the following when you fill in the form.
Reasons for behavior:
✅ I miss Reddit
✅ Mercury was in retrograde
✅ I’m a huge assholeIt’s 3!
Obligatory Edit: oh heck it’s also 1!
Modlog for them is very telling

Yep
i started to respect cowbee early on 🫡🫡
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.
Hexbear needs this as a soft PPB emoji:

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.
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 🐶
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’m very out of the loop. Who is cowbee? What did they do?
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.
I have him tagged as “Tankie”, probably undeserved XD
Considering “tankie” in practice is just a pejorative for those that “support existing socialist projects,” then I suppose it’s accurate, though I would suggest not marking down “tankies” and instead trying to listen more to what we have to say.
It’s a pretty old tag, I tend to keep them around less as a label and more as a “I’ve had meaningful interactions with this person” sticker
Y’all have definitely rubbed off on me quite a bit since then =)
Tagging users is such fucking reddit brain
Fair!
I was of the opinion tankie was just a term given to Russian or Chinese fans/apologists. People that think these governments can do no wrong which is just dumb and naive. And thinking they can do no right is just as naive. As oppressive as the Chinese government can be, they have been at least making some interesting choices in regards to science and technology recently. But people are getting labeled as tankie because of support for socialist ideas? Like government healthcare and social safety nets?

The thing is that nobody actually thinks that, liberals just tell you we think that so you don’t engage with out actual positions, because people who engage with our actual positions tend to come around to agreeing with them. It’s a classic anticommunist canard.
Nobody genuinely thinks the USSR or PRC can/could do no wrong, but the strawman image of someone who believes that is used as a club against those that uphold them, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, DPRK, etc. as validly socialist countries working towards a better future. Healthcare and safety nets are social programs, not socialism, but that’s a different conversation.
The point is that those that uphold existing socialism are labeled “tankies,” and I uphold existing socialism, warts and all, as genuinely progressive movements.
Wow that description as “extremely patient and gives very detailed explanations/arguments” is kinda on the nose isn’t it. Good on you for having the time and patience to help educate people.
In my opinion any country legitimately trying to better their people is a good thing. At least way better than trying to enrich the same 10 billionaires over and over again.
I’d consider myself more of a fan of social democracies. Ultimately the problem seems to be that no one is truly altruistic or even future thinking. As a species we are greedy, short sighted, with tiny short attention spans.
Thanks for the kind words! One thing I want to say, though, is that it’s less that humans are greedy, and more that we are shaped by the way we live, produce, and distribute. Capitalism expresses and reinforces greed, we aren’t intrinsically greedy. Social democracy, ie capitalism with large safety nets, is unfortunately both unsustainable and also relies on imperialism to subsidize the safety nets, which is why socialism itself is necessary.
I have them tagged as “comrade” so it balances out
Well he is to the left of Joe Biden, so he is a tankie
I have no idea who this is or what this is about. I’m sorry for being out of the loop, cowbee.
