go see the .world version of this in their politics community; even now, when there's data to prove this they continue to stick their heads in the sand and it makes me scared for the future.

They're arrogant, ignorant, and cult like. They also sound exactly like the fascist they claim everyone else is. I guess getting banned from there was more of a blessing than anything. I tried to warn them but they just assumed anyone who dared to question Biden & Kamala were Russian.
The true failing of liberals does not lie in ignorance, but in their devotion to it. They clutch to it like a security blanket, as if the act of not knowing were a virtue rather than a vice. It is not stupidity, but a wilful, self-satisfied refusal to step out of their bubble, that renders them so insufferable.
I saw one cheering for forcing federal employees to return to office.
i'm expecting them to ban me as well since i practically spammed that post in the last hour or so.
Edit: they deleted the post instead. lol
You folks know that we are "in the same room" as you?
:P
I'm glad y'all are here. Lemmy is a small community. I hope we can continue to make this a welcoming place that will attract people away from corporate social media.
Let's not make a culture war where there should be a class war.
nobody's trying to make it a culture war. It just happens that most of .world is happily fighting the class war on behalf of the propertied classes because they have a blue circle with a D in it.
It's good to hear that criticism sometimes. Thank you.
You folks know that we are “in the same room” as you?
honestly i forget most of the time. lol
there are so many liberals on lemmy, especially on .world that rarely post/comment and it makes me forget that they're there lurking most of the time so i'm glad you commented; this community could be better by the addition so it more closely mirrors the activity of the other leftists communities.
my like minded friend is right; an overwhelming majority of liberals exhibit provocative behavior when confronted w their behavior regarding lots of things including the genocide; exactly like the post i was referring to in my comment.
i was getting meaningful engagement w people who couldn't/wouldn't appreciate the gravity of a genocide and it's impact on the election and i think it helped me understand a little bit more why something so obvious to me wasn't so obvious to them; then they removed the post simply because it was a substack article on a yougov poll explaining that kamala harris lost the election due to the genocide.
bieng able to talk about things like this wo the mod who deleted that post having the ability to delete this discourse about it, is what makes lemmy worthwhile; but the class war is going to take a while longer if our somewhat-likeminded friends continue to insist on these provocative behaviors on lemmy.
That sounds frustrating. Lately I have been trying to think if there is a good way to help promote political discussion in a really constructive way.
I don't know your specific situation. I moderate a community and yeah sometimes a post will end up with a lot of aggression in the comments so rather than try to make a lot of nuanced judgement calls I'll remove the post with an apology to OP.
I also have made a lot of mistakes. I'm certainly learning a lot about being a better online citizen.
not frustrating at all; simply par for the course when talking to people from .world and i wish that there were more that could break that mold.
also: bieng a halfway decent online citizen should be a requirement for any mod; but clearly not on .world or .ee.
Except you folks are the one that try to make it into a culture war when you banned people that brought up Kamala's statements on her unconditional support of genocide & her cozying up to neocons like Liz Cheney. Just last week Biden was giving Cheney a medal of honor & named an aircraft carrier after George Bush. If "you folks" want it to be a class war then stop banning people pointing out that it is a class war, while you engage in a culture war.
Sorry I wasn't aware of that situation. Talking about politics on the internet, or in real life for that matter, is tricky to do in a constructive way. Thanks for being in my virtual neighborhood and helping us learn together.
Hey, Owen Jones made a good point: they Israelis are saying that Trump's envoy was the first time the Americans actually applied pressure. Meaning the Democrats have not been doing jack shit for a year now.
She is not one of the good guys.
Still unfathomable to me. I hope those that stayed home think of their choice when Trump fully and vocally supports Israeli settlements across north Gaza.
Then again: “Grim noted some caveats, pointing out that "even if October 7 and the resulting genocide had never happened, it's fair to assume some number of those non-voters still would not have voted, and would have cited a different top reason for not voting.” Yeah, Harris was just never going to get some of those votes. But enough to swing the election? I guess we’ll never know.
What instance am I on? This is a . world take.
No worries, the Orange Stain will give Israel a blank check to flatten what is left of Gaza, West Bank, Golan Heights and southern Lebanon. One huge ass land grab. Thanks for voting and not voting dipshits.
Good Lord you Blue MAGA types have had your brains completely cooked
Fuck you nazi piece of shit. You're describing the line you voted for.
You don't get to be the one with the knife in your hand anymore. That's all you're upset about.
And you try to make up for it to yourself by engaging in attempted cruelty like this. Twisting the knife for as long as you still have it.
Fucking piece of shit.
Nazi? Go piss in the wind loser. I do not vote for the fucking Fascist, Communists and any politicians who wants a dictatorship.
Yes you did. You literally voted to exterminate a race from this earth. Fuck you. Piece of shit nazi. Let it follow you to your fucking grave. May you never know a moment of peace.
Why are .ml people so fucking stupid.
The petulant and meaningless whine of a stupid baby with nothing articulable to say.
Better to stay silent. If one could expect a genocide supporter to have shame.
The petulant and meaningless whine of a stupid baby with nothing articulable to say.
Thank you for summing yourself and every other .ml user so succinctly.
Also I can guarantee you that I've done more direct action to support the people of Gaza than you have by being a smug keyboard warrior.
Typical stormfront "No U!"
Lmao, what other response is there to someone just hurting around petty insult like a petulant child?
Petty insults? Tell yourself that if you want to you fucking nazi piece of shit. You're getting called the proper label for what you fucking did.
Lmao, I've been arrested for physically fighting actual Nazis advocating for me and my mates to be put in camps. So I'm not going to take some pathetic basement dweller serious when you call me a nazi.
Let me know when you do something actually useful with your life instead of throwing piss fits at strangers on the internet to make yourself feel morally superior for doing litterally nothing.
Cool story bro.
You're a fucking nazi. You support a genocide. There's no talking around it.
You deserve what they deserve.
I mean, by all accounts you're more of a genocide supporter than I am .ml user. Or do the community genocides not count?
And I have never supported any kind of genocide in any way shape or form.
You can screech accusations all you like, but you're litterally just some crazy guy having a meltdown on the internet, literally not a single person on this planet gives any semblance of a shit what you think.
No one cares what I think but you're still compelled to retaliate with ableism to my "Genocide is bad and you supported it" message.
You have to invent genocides by digging up propaganda from dead members of the nazi party to 'both sides' an event with only one side.
And I have never supported any kind of genocide in any way shape or form.
You supported the democratic party. You use slurs against anyone who speaks against them. Specifically in the context of talking about the genocide they committed.
You're not crazy for partitioning reality from how you think of yourself. I'm crazy for telling you you're a piece of shit for trying.
I'd rather be crazy in a world of nazi scum like you than be a nazi.
Well...so far he's done more for Gaza in -2 weeks than the Biden admin in +1 years....so here we are. I too doubt anything else good will come of it, but we're still further ahead then the dems got us.
