Russia becoming LGBT friendly out of pure contrarianism

incel coup

Ehrm it’s not forced labour because doing work for shit pay is technically a reward for good behavior

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

The Holocaust started with elimination of political opponents, namely the communists.

yeah it was originally, I found it on rednote

idk I saw a video of a near-perfect vtol landing the other day

when I first started on lemmy.ml I received a ban from a federated instance for being a “hexbear alt and troll”, that’s how I realized I might fit in here

short for original character, made by the one on the left

Gotta second this, it’s a little hard to find from a separate instance- you need to go to /c/news@hexbear.net and pick it from the pinned threads

I wasn’t able to find posts drag is referring to, as near as I can tell both instances drag uses defed hexbear. Feel free to send me a link.

Sadly hexbear doesn’t have a ton of really active comms specific to women. Though at least they’re very aggressive removing misogyny across the instance. It’s been categorically less stressful posting on hexbear vs the rest of lemmy simply because I’m not then checking an inbox with replies/dms calling me ‘removed’ or ‘it’ or other charming insults.

Removing downvotes makes sense too, though I also like keeping them and using them to ban people abusing it. The voter is only visible to admins though.

when I say ‘fediverse’ people think I’m saying ‘fetiverse’ and sometimes they ask if it’s like open source fetlife. 🫠

I’ve been having a ton of fun, I like the cultural exchange a lot.

Personally I don’t care if China has data on me, it’s not like it’s useful for them and I’d rather them than meta or the US government or whoever.

There’s also way more queer/trans content than I was expecting.

There was a primary this time around and it was even more of a farce than usual. The party just straight up ignored all the people voting uncommitted, to all of our detriment.

People did not do whatever they think should have happened and thus I will name call them.

I don’t actually understand what this is saying.

Either way this isn’t the place for a back and forth on this kind of thing, so I won’t be discussing the election further.

To steer back to your original topic though, you seem accustomed to the type of censorship of the left that’s typical on Reddit. Many of the people that are here are specifically here because the left wing communities they were participating in were systematically removed from reddit.

The reality is in a place like this sometimes you’re going to hear dissenting opinions, unless you’re very selective in your instance and only browse local.

“People don’t vote for my side so I’ll say they’re enabling fascism!”

iconic, I’ve been repeatedly told by liberals that because I voted third party that I’m essentially a trump voter.

that wasn’t what was said though.

they said that liberals created the material conditions for fascism. i.e. by suppressing the left and only offering up warmongering and genocide they created a situation where someone like trump could get elected. again.

a fair number of the people who are on this platform are here specifically because oligarch-owned media sites heavily censor all left wing speech, and have done so for many years.

yes

2014 throwback:

They were never my favorite band. I hate the lyrics, but I like the sound.

– Paul Ryan to NYT when asked if he was a fan of rage against the machine

Not sure if this is better or worse than JD:

Don’t mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta “rage” in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he’s not raging against is the privileged elite he’s groveling in front of for campaign contributions.
