  • Every time the Dems go left they lose

    I’m sure it has nothing to do with immediately abandoning those talking points once they’re elected. A single Republican gripes and “well there’s nothing we can do we’re just doing their thing now. Sucks to suck 🤷‍♂️”

    Of course, as illustrated here they’re happy to blame the left though even though their entire thing is “fuck the left.” whether its outright like it is right now, or the passive “WE’LL TOTALLY DO LEFT STUFF GUYS JUST VOTE FOR US…whoops sorry someone said no so we’re conservatives now”

    Rewarding them for moving further right hasn’t worked for decades, but surely it will this time!

    There’s a reason they cant pull the votes to get all 3, turns out the people voting for Republicans aren’t going to switch parties cause dems chase after them year after year abandoning anyone left of mid right establishment dems.


  • Thats our national issue, democrats care far less about the fascist vomit of the right than they do being polite, “understanding,” and “reaching across the aisle.”

    J6ers tried to overtake the govt, hang em for treason. If their backers violently rise up, take em out too. Problem solved. Instead, dems make excuses for Republicans every day, say they can’t do anything about anything, then push a bunch of policies to further snuff out the left instead.







  • Are you defending authoritarian policies of historical socialism alot?

    Nope, but I do point out that most socialist countries fail due to direct US intervention, which is true but inconvenient to their narrative that socialism is a failure.

    I have also been called a communist, but this wasn’t meant as an insult but a description

    Are you familiar with the American concept of the “Bible Belt?” It’s essentially just the American Southeast, Texas out to the East Coast, up to mid-Virginia or so. (The confederate states, basically.) This section of the country continues to be hyper religious and hyper conservative. What I’m getting at is that in this neck of the woods, socialist and communist are used almost exclusively as slurs lol, for anybody who doesn’t have an almost comical conservative stance.

    On the various posts in this current flood of “Communists should leave the communist instance for my own comfort” nonsense, even the anti-.ml crowd can’t provide good examples of how anyone who looks at them funny gets banned. Nobody has modlog receipts and almost every example THEY provide of communists oppressing them or whatever is THEM saying dumb nothings like “I can’t hear you over Tienanmen Square” or cussing up a storm while the .ml person is like “Here’s a book about XYZ”

    I’m sure people have been perhaps hastily moderated on .ml, but probably not any more than any other instance, and if so they aren’t the ones rallying to de-ML .ml.

    That’s really the kicker for me with those people. The louder they shriek about being moderated for outright dickish behavior, the faster they’d ban you on their own turf for politely sharing a source that counters their narrative.

    I’ve agreed with you basically since the beginning of my lemmy experience about .world. I think that’s just where most Reddit refugees landed (including myself initially) so that’s why they have such a high concentration of people wanting this Reddit-adjacent neolib singular authority and want so strongly to defederate from anything remotely left of Biden -

    Or even go as far as the post I assume OP is based off of and screech about free speech by arguing how the MLs who BUILT LEMMY should abandon their .ML domain to make the instance less ML. Cause that’s how free speech works. >.>

    Long means correct, apparently. Nevermind what’s being said.

    Considering the counter argument was “Fuck you you’re wrong,” I’m going to go ahead and side with the person who actually makes a coherent point. Any point at all, really. “I CAN’T HEAR YOU LULZ” doesn’t count.

    Not all bans are permanent, not all bans are global. Sure, but if you were constantly getting temp bans, it’d be preettttyyyy easy to show some receipts, if it were true and not just a rallying cry for some butthurt capitalist stans.

    I get it buddy. You don’t like leftists, so anything leftist is bad. Righties love screaming at me about the modlog, so allow me to turn it on you - If you stay getting banned, show us. Show us you getting banned and all your comments being removed for disagreeing. Should be easy since supposedly anybody left of Biden isn’t allowed to exist on .ml, right?

    I don’t know if you linked the wrong post or what cause I see one person making lengthy arguments and offering sources while the other makes dinky diversions. Not a great argument on your behalf.

    You are mocking peoples honest experiences of this instance

    Am I? Because if you’re (or whoever is) here arguing about being banned from .ml, you’re notably not banned from .ml, and if im reading sombodys “This comment will be removed” comment, it by definition hasnt been removed. 🤷
