Ban from that community, [email protected]:
Rule 1 of said community: Be civil and nice.
Rule 1 of said instance: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
I was clearly not bigoted in any manner, and I believe more civil than the way I was treated, was it the Code of Conduct? Excerpts:
Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude.
Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a right answer.
I think I was kind with the people I disagreed with, even if they could not be in return, yet those comments (some including ableist slurs) remain. I think this is enough to demonstrate it is merely a difference in ideology which motivated the ban. Well, bans, because it seems they copied and pasted the same ban in all the communities they have access to:
It’s not a general lemmy.ml ban, just those in particular.
I understand this kind of behavior in safe space communities that don’t want outsiders bellyaching about the pragmatism of electoral politics, but that’s not the case in any of the communities I’ve been banned from, nor is it a part of the instance rules or CoC.
PTB or triggered shitlib? Not an exclusive or, of course.
Exactly. And especially so when its “Dems are just as bad”.
No they the fucknare not.
Dems suck ass, but there is absolutely ZERO path towards progressive policy and a net positive through the GOP. Zero. They are an agressive, regrrssive, boat anchor, dragging everyone and everything backwards. Dems at least pay fucking lip service to and throw a bone to progressive policies. A bone that can be turned into a seed for actual positive change.
The GOP would rather grind thst shit to dust and tell you id doesn’t exist.
Tell us you have no idea what happens outside of the US without telling us you’re an uneducated American who has buried their head in the sand to avoid thinking about how the democratic party has a long history of supporting human rights abuses in Asia.
And then find just enough no votes so they can block those policies, like with the public option and every tangible individual benefit in Build Back Better. Or we need the parliamentarian on board like with minimum wage. Or we need to ask every federal employee until we get the “no” we’re looking for like biden did with cannabis rescheduling.
The left saw a party that they suspected was ineffectual on purpose.
Then they turned around and proved it by getting out of their own way and ignoring actual laws to sell weapons for genocide. They could have found an excuse not to. They’re amazingly adept at finding them when they don’t want to keep their campaign promises.
And what progressive policies have we had with them in office?
Yup. If two rapists walk up to me and tell me to choose between them, I’m choosing the one who will give me medical care, education, improved economy for the working class instead of investing class, public infrastructure, nature preservation, and a tease of corporate regulations instead of the one who will empty my wallet and return nothing. Either way we’re getting fucked, may as well get fucked like an old housewife instead of a slave.
Here’s a thought. Throw the rapists out and elect somebody who isn’t a rapist, you fucking weirdos.
Oh yeah I’m sorry I guess I just imagined that literally every single government on the planet is assisting the pedo ring run by my elected pedo rulers. You’re literally acting like an American rn… even demonstrating the same levels of willful ignorance and blind ego as the most red of Maga. Congratulations you’re more American than 1/2 of their own population!
I like how you’re doing your best to make giving up and deciding that you’re just going to have to pick between pedos from now on seem like the smart choice. That’s pretty disgusting, not gonna lie. And worst of all, you don’t seem all that bothered by it.
Yeah,you are right, but we don’t get there without passing through the “friendly.housewife rapist” first, so we can at least get back to a “normal” level.
