      Too bad that Mark Zuckerberg coined it as a motto for Facebook then, huh?

        Lol what kind of comeback is that? We know he said that, dumbass, that was the entire point of their reference. Do you like… Not know who Stalin is?

          Will every reader know that? Will every reader also know the finer nuances of the 3 downward arrows, one of them referring to Stalin’s authoritarianism? I’m not here to score sick comebacks? 🤷‍♀️

            Huh that’s interesting…

            Maybe we can hear directly from them about their views on Stalin:

            The Three Arrows were adopted as an official social democrat symbol by the SPD leadership and the Iron Front by June 1932. Iron Front members would carry the symbol on their arm bands. The slogan “neither Stalin’s slaves nor Hitler’s henchmen” was also used by the SPD in connection with the symbol.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Arrows#Weimar_Republic

            So lol at you falling for some kind of bullshit agitprop just so you can attempt a clever comeback on Lemmy.

            I’m using it as a general anti-fascist symbol, and I like the idea of vandalizing swastikas with it.

              Im authentically perplexed as to where we disagree and why you’re in “sick dunk” mode. Do you think I’m simping for Stalin? The 3 arrows appeal to me for the same reasons they do you, seems.

                Yeah it seemed like you were implying (or actually just saying) that one of the arrows refers to Stalin’s authoritarianism. Which is a bad thing, right? Do we agree on that? And I have it as my profile pic… So I dunno how else I was supposed to take your comment?

                And to be clear, again, it is not true that one of the arrows refers to Stalin in any way.

                  “Down with all forms of authoritarianism” is how i associate with the symbol. We do inded agree fash in any manifestation are a bad thing.

                  Meanwhile here in the Elon thread, I’d like for folks not to associate Communism with dead bigoted tyrants who usurped the unions-of-unions that were Soviets, while misattributing a quote from a capitalist whose competing to have as much blood on his hands as Stalin did.

                    Bruh, you brought Stalin up?

                    I’m so confused by what you’re trying to say.
