    Good. Lemmy should not be a safe space for fascists.

    I saw, and was suspicious of Donald J. Musk. Umonk again! What a dweeb.

    Literally an oxymoron and trust me, I know because I have seen more of it than any of you combined.
    It’s mostly all based on: we must make leftist cry. Such seriousness, the very core of it is fundamentally a joke.

    No wonder right leaning instance is just shitposts and memes galore. This is basically what modern conservatism is.

    No wonder right leaning instance is just shitposts and memes galore.

    A conservative visiting lemmy would say the exact same thing. The difference in my mind is that right-wing memes mostly leave me thinking, "No one says or believes that. Fuck you on about?"

    Same thoughts I have talking to conservatives IRL. Having only been presented with the most outlandish fruitcakes, they've brainwashed into thinking there are legions of fucking nutcase left-wingers out there.

    For left-wingers making fun, yeah, the memes more often reflect what the right actually says and believes.

    (Yes, I'm biased, but I try really hard to be objective.)

    I'd seen comments about this account before and noted how the phrasing and comment behavior was a dead ringer for Universal Monk's usual bullshit. Glad to see others saw the same thing.

    Has his Barry Goldwater alt been banned yet?

    serious question, does shitjustworks have a reputation as a conservative community? I guess I do most of my browsing in the all feed so maybe I just haven't seen it? definitely not the instance I'd like to be on if that's the case 😅

    It's too friendly. Something's not right.

    I think the conservative com there got taken over by mods that aren’t right-wing and now exists to make fun of the right. I don’t particularly care but I can see why rightists might not love this.

    Universal Monk was a prolific poster around election time; he had tons of alt accounts that all posted stuff purposely made to divide the left.

    After his accounts all got banned for trolling and evasion, he started up the Donald J Musk accounts and repeated the cycle, this time posting far-right fascist content and trolling people with lies, disinfo, and general unpleasantness.

    It's been an open secret for a while that they were the same user based on the MO, but apparently he fucked up and reused a comment.

    Their favourite m.o. during election season was sealioning and concern trolling, as well as baiting people into breaking the civility rule and then reporting them. It seemed to me like they were taking pleasure from skirting around the letter of the law while violating the spirit of it.

    It was completely incredible at the time that they went on for months without getting banned.

    Tbh, it appears to me the guy is in serious mental health crisis. Social isolation isn't great without mh support and tends to exacerbate issues. I'm wondering if it's simply not affordably accessible to them or if it is and they broke so completely they failed to see the necessity. I remember a post they made about breaking up with their gf and that's when the alt-right accounts became highly visible to me.
