I caught a mod at Late Stage Capitalism admitting they aren’t from the US, so they deleted all my posts and banned me.

    ydi. how is it relevant where someone lives (unless the comm is only for americans, which it isn’t), except to imply that because they aren’t american, they can’t be trusted? the blight on lemmy world isn’t the token socialists being critical of us politics, it’s the democrats who can’t accept totally legit criticisms of their party, and jump directly to mccarthyism, which helps prove the criticism is valid imo.

      that’s not the problem, the problem is his distinct and repeated calls for people to not participate in the process - which is a great way to lose elections. do you want more trump? no?

      THEN FUCKING VOTE

      love all the fucking chuds ‘downvoting’ literal encouragement for people to vote lol, the irony is hilarious.

        Just a warning, this isn’t a campaigning space. We don’t allow electoralists to shame people for not voting. Everyone here knows about voting. We are not children who need to be bullied into action by you. Its totally insufferable. You can post about politics in a politics comm.

            They even think more people died under Trump. The genocide is still happening, and has had for seven decades, but WTF? Absolute disconnect with reality.

            Biden repeatedly told debunked blood libel lies about those he was enacting genocide against. He kept saying he saw “beheaded babies” with his “own eyes”, over and over and over.

            Fuck them all.

            You know, there’s objective data showing how many people died in what administration. And you’re telling me less people died under Biden? Do you honestly believe that? Did it feel truthy to you when you said it? Is it your emotional truth? Yes, the genocide is still unfolding. It’s been going on for over seven decades. Yes, Republicans are also genocidal. That’s one of the few things they’re honest about. What does that say about Democrats? Biden repeatedly told debunked blood libel lies against the very people he was enacting genocide against, all from his campaign podium, over and over and over. He said he saw beheaded babies in ovens “with his own eyes”. WTF?

            Give me a candidate that isn’t genocidal and I will vote for them. Otherwise, let Republicans run it all into the ground. America failing is the best option put before me, which is best for all humanity. That’s who I care about, not you, not me.

            America is out of control and it needs to be stopped somehow. Democracy isn’t an option. I wish it was.

            I want democracy. I want democracy for us. I want democracy for Ukrainians. I want democracy for Palestinians. I want democracy for the world.

            You’ll empower genocidal billionaires over other genocidal billionaires, and call it some kind of victory.

            Anyone who questions that logic must be a foreign agent.

      My problem with GodlessCommie isn’t that he’s not American. My problem is he is the sole mod of a relatively popular sub and tries to dissuade people from voting and bans anyone that doesn’t support his narrative.

      He’s stupid, and dangerous.

        You intentionally misinterpret don’t vote for Democrats or Republicans as don’t vote and then try to claim those are our only choices. those are the only chocies that you have locked yourself into

        it really upsets me when they try to rewrite history. the molotov ribbentrop pact happened. and how could the soviets have ‘single handedly’ stopped the nazis without BILLIONS of US aide (that wasn’t repaid until 2006!!!) AND the allies opening the western front?

        like, fuck, this isn’t some controversy, this is history… so that’s my limit, people are entitled to their own interpretations but when you stop acknowledging what happened, nah, fuck off

        Unfortunately, US politics has a huge impact on other countries. Just ask anyone from Iran, Venezuala, Haiti, Cuba, or Palestine, to name just a few recent examples.

          I suppose it could be a coincidence that they behave exactly the way a foreign propagandist attempting to manipulate politics to the detriment of the US would behave. I wouldn’t bet on it though.

              I get what you are saying, but that is literally their whole account. Every single post is LSC. A regular person would at least occasionally comment about a cute dog picture or something, you know?

                  There are subs specifically for posting cute pet pics and dog pics exclusively. But that’s just an example. He doesn’t post about his favorite restaurants, hobbies, family, nothing. It doesn’t feel like a regular human interacting with social media.

                    Lemmy isn’t Facebook. It’s intentionally pseudonymous. The communist developers created it that way for good reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_security

                    First they came for the Communists
                    And I did not speak out
                    Because I was not a Communist

                    Then they came for the Socialists
                    And I did not speak out
                    Because I was not a Socialist

                    Then they came for the trade unionists
                    And I did not speak out
                    Because I was not a trade unionist

                    Then they came for the Jews
                    And I did not speak out
                    Because I was not a Jew

                    Then they came for me
                    And there was no one left
                    To speak out for me

                    And how popular are those subs?

                    Most users on lemmy participate in only a handful of subs. It isnt surprising that some accounts are only active in one or two
