If you don’t think some Lemmy instances are being run from Fort Meade and Quantico, you’re not paranoid enough.

As long as we all agree you don’t actually care about rule violations, you’re just mad they think differently than you.

Me: How’s that AI search algorithm going, Google?

Google: “Did you mean ‘Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds Dune?’”

Ah, he doesn’t own it, he just decides what it does.

The leadership explicitly refuses to repudiate the old charter that called for genocide, and has directly said they can’t do that politically, or even call it a replacement.

It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out why, you sure as hell wouldn’t be pretending you don’t understand why MAGA leaders won’t criticize the Confederacy or the KKK.

Yeah, it’d be real removeded up if Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, all allied and interconnected Iran-backed terrorist groups, had direct calls for jihad and genocide in their charters and mottos, or founder and leader quotes saying they are glad Israel exists because it saves them the trouble of hunting the Jewish diaspora

OH WAIT

THEY DO

If you want to talk about violence, any level of violence, as a legitimate response to colonialism, especially when it enters the ethnic cleansing stage, fair enough, but don’t pretend they’re not genocidal removedwits themselves with plenty of proof for their intentions.

If you want to know why Lemmy is full of pissed off people fighting in the comments it’s because half the people who comment on Lemmy have the fact checking ability of a mentally incapable squirrel and they’ll repeat any damn thing they hear.

He specifically describes himself as a democratic socialist instead of a social democrat but I also haven’t read the book so feel free to quote an excerpt from it saying he thinks the capitalist model is the only viable one.

Bernie believes in the eradication of capitalism, he’s a socialist working in a removeded over Overton window that means the best policies he can argue for would fall under social democracy at best.

Which, to be very clear, makes him a raging commie by American political standards.

The only people who argue he’s a capitalist are people that think socialism is when poor.

They also have drastically different connotations in America depending on whether the user can read a book.

Big Landscaping finally tracked him down and bushed him

The Germans are just too drunk to stand

If some dumbass lib climbed through a window at the head of mob chanting for the President’s blood because they lost and were stupid enough to fall for easily disproven lie I also wouldn’t blame the Secret Service for popping their head.

I’d say the exact same thing as I say about Babbit.

“Skill Issue.”

Which is, by the way, a massive legal injustice the way the system is set up, as it’s part of the way cops force the innocent into false confessions, by holding the threat of doing disproportionate time for a crime they didn’t even commit, but most of these people caught less time than a black man found with a dime bag.

I vaguely recall one of them having not entered the Capitol? So they were part of the group milling around outside, which mostly wasn’t charged.

It’s a damn shame no one took any pictures the whole day

Imagine trying to martyr someone climbing through a broken window to threaten Congress while being warned by the Capitol Police that they will shoot them for doing it.

Regardless of whether some Congress critters deserve to be threatened, it’s just the most privileged idiocy at best, especially to do it because the election didn’t go the way you wanted.

No one who goes to 4chan in the 2020s has a viewpoint worth listening to. At best they just like trolling idiots.

Hexbear and Lemmygrad are different instances, but tbh at this point I’m just happy with people that can at least vaguely define liberalism and socialism, and I don’t have to see the great minds upvote “communism is right wing, AKSHUALLY, because right wing means authoritarian.”

Edit: ah wait, your comment was under one about both, I conflated it with the other chain about Lemmygrad specifically.

I guess it’s slightly better that they’re mostly honest deniers instead of “they had it coming” types.

I think. I personally find it refreshing in small doses to deal with people that actually know what the removed they’re talking about in terms of political theory, some of the removed .world users will say is…

Upsetting, intellectually.

Of course, so is talking to a genuine Stalinist.
