The power trip / ban doesn't bother me, but the misinformation does. They present as leftist, but flare up around US elections discouraging voter turnout via 'bOtH siDeS' garbage. that only ever elevates shit like MAGA.

In the linked thread, OP promotes rioting while discouraging voter turnout. My comments agreed with activism like riots, but pointed out that it's not an either-or thing. You can riot -and- vote; and even if you don't have it in you to riot, still do vote.

Banned.

You can see my removed comment quoted in the post after mine.

This 'blue MAGA' tankie shit is somehow worse than the loud-and-clear MAGA shit over on Reddit - at least those neonazis were honest about who they were.

Anywho, YSK. Spaces like r/conservative were clearly labeled and easy to avoid; LateStageCapitalism@lemmy.world presents as a cause worth rallying around, but only until you peel up the veneer and see that they're the same fucking thing.

Also please vote. In addition to whatever flavor of activism tickles your fancy.

Some peoples ethics or morals prevent them from supporting genocide. Who knew? Maybe the issue is that the leaders refused to not do a genocide?

    He said "least deranged liberal. You think Kamala was gonna stop it?"

    Personally, I don't think Kamala Harris would have spent billions of dollars making oil more expensive and dismantling the assets of the US government.

    If Kamala had won, do you think she would have bombed iran before or after the genocide in Gaza was all wrapped up?

    I don't think anyone who ran against trump, Republican or otherwise, would be stupid enough to do what he did.

    I think you're giving Americans, republican or otherwise, too much credit. Trump isn't the smartest American, but he's far from the stupidest.
