Tankies are allowed in this community so long as they can behave

Beehaw defederated from everyone and wanted to become their own thing. Didn’t work out well for them. I joined beehaw initially and then got banned after I commented on a post asking how queer people feel about queer movements. I said pride today is largely just advertising and virtue signalling instead of actual activism, that I only ever had my sexuality questioned by queer folk as opposed to religious or straight folk. I got banned. Anyone commenting anything negative about their experiences also got booted.

SJW is more of a moralist community with some conservatism, at least from my experience. Back when it was popular, everything was driven by community input and voting.

I’d like to move this community to .world since it’s larger, but there’s no way to transfer communities and I don’t think the Lemmy devs are quite willing to add any such feature

They truly are redditors

It’s open source, yeah, but is there much of a future in it? Lemmy as a whole doesn’t make a whole lot of original content.

Fantastic post! thank you!

I love it when they say reactionary. It’s the ultimate projection. Like reactionaries are exactly what they are, urging to return to Soviet-era communism.

their only idols are long-dead dictators or people who want to return to how things previously were. Like Winnie the Pooh wanting Taiwan to return to China

Reactionaries full and through

you aint NC legend material to go full borg

but cyberpunk is punk and also about hyper-individualism, of course there’s gonna be diversity

But hell, I’ll bite. I’ve ranted about this before, and I know my views don’t fully apply to Americans, but I truly believe that using left/right as labels is playing into the elite’s hands. You ask a left-person or a right-person their opinions on the rich, and both of them will come to the same conclusion, but as soon as you mention either side, then they start fighting. Thus, the picture is ignored; it’s about teams now, it’s about cancelling and gotchas, no more about the imbalance of social power.

Honestly, how can anyone be so binary with their political beliefs in an age where we have functional neural networks, global interconnectivity and instant access to whatever we desire? Our water is so fucking clean that we shit in it. We have so much food that there’s obesity in ourselves and in our pets. When a disaster happens, when the walls break down, are you really going to be so petty and pathetic as to worry about left or right? I don’t reckon.

I refuse to use left/right since I don’t even think it applies in my country. Allow me to explain. In Australia’s system, we have two separate houses of Parliament, preferential voting, state, federal, and local elections, councils, a monarchy, and territories. Preferential voting ensures your vote is never wasted and goes exactly where you want it.

Where do I fit if I vote for Fusion first, Animal Justice second, Greens Third, Labor fourth, and Liberals fifth for Representatives? While also voting for UAP, One Nation, or Liberal for Senate? What if I throw independents into the mix? Shit, the way parliaments are designed is that parties have to come together to get bills and acts through.

Can you legitimately blanket all that with just one side? Not in Australia, at least. Only advice I have for Americans is to leave, find a better country, they’ll be more than willing to take you in and as an American, you can certainly afford to leave to almost every other country.

ah, americans. you guys love your team sport don’t ya

You’d think more people would realise this

Syrian Men*

Ain’t no women allowed to celebrate in those streets
