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.

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.

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"

I get called a tankie pretty frequently for anything vauguely left of biden on Lemmy. Ive never heard the term IRL, but I HAVE been called a communist IRL two or three times for saying a 40 hour work week should cover a basic level of housing.

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.

I never see this "Lenin is my daddy cull the herd uWu" nonsense y'all can't stfu about, but I sure can't escape the sea of "I dIsAgReE, sEe YoU oN tEh BaN lIsT!"

Which quite frankly I think SHOULD net a ban, this disingenuous "oh sure you can talk about redistributing wealth but I mention murder being bad AND IM BANNED DURR" bullshit is tiring.

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. 🤷

Facebones , vor 29 Tagen

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?

Facebones , vor 27 Tagen

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. >.>

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.

1000% this. I live in the bible belt and am a big burly bearded bastard so people "quiet part out loud" at me with supersonic speed (1). I'd almost make a mortgage payment if I had a buck for every time someone said some ridiculous shit then I got in trouble for "getting political" aka politely and calmly engaging with the statement just made directly to me.

I didn't make it political. The person saying trans folk should "wear the right clothing" made it political. I believe the word you're looking for is "uncomfortable," and if you don't want it to get uncomfortable maybe tell HIM not to get political. If he says it, I have a right to respond - and silencing my speech but not his is an explicit endorsement of his speech.

(1) It has literally happened in like 5 sentences or less between even me and a stranger multiple times. "Hey what's up" "nothing much started a new job" "cool, I haven't worked in a bit but I worked at target for a bit" "why? Target funds ANTIFA TERRORISTS"

It will soon, the bill passed the house that adds "comparing Israel to Nazis" to the official antisemitic hate speech list - but according to a friend (been out of town and busy to read it myself) it's worded to cover basically any criticism of Israel.

The point is once its added the department of education can pull funding, accreditation, etc from any schools that "allow antisemitic speech or actions (aka protests)"

Don't even have to go THAT far, I get called a commie for saying a 40 hour work week should provide basic shelter these days. 🤷

If we want to live in boring reality, it doesn't happen a LOT but way more than it should.
