I honestly think its biggest utility is as a replacement for Reddit. As much as I have always hated that site, it is an important way for people to access information and organize locally with relative anonymity.

Since Lemmy is mostly known as a Reddit replacement, it’s useful to convince people to stop using Reddit.

Pompous. THAT’S STILL LIBERALISM YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER.

AI levels of incoherence there but this site is small enough and your post history is varied enough that I believe this is truly just an igorant and satisfied person.

Have you considered once in your entire bubble-wrapped life that the language you have been given to understand politics purposefully made you unable to interpret – and therefore criticize – the policies and philosophies in the systems of power around you? These are all liberal parties. Liberalism is not when you say the rainbow capitalism or let the raciazlied people bomb kids too, though they certainly seek to appropriate ideas of social justice and civil progress. It is a durable and dominant ideology with individualism and capitalism as its primary organizing principles. Morality is written around the imperatives of infinite growth, wealth accumulation (extraction), and individual human bodies rather than human relationalities to each other and the land/spaces they exist in. “Right wing” or “left wing” is relevant only in the purposefully disarming rhetoric adopted in settler-colonial states to obfuscate that dominance. When people correctly identify that liberals, as in liberalism not as in the colloquial term for “not a Republican Party supporter,” do not challenge fascism, they are identifying that the material interests of liberals does not conflict with the overt racism and authoritarianism of fascists. Australia is a country dominated by liberalism in the same way the US, and Canada are all dominated by liberalism as these are all eurosettler countries that hold individualism and capitalism as the highest principle in their social and political systems.

Racism is fundamental to liberalism as capitalism depends on an exploitable class of people and race allows for a naturalized and immutable justification for exploitation of particular groups. Queerphobia is fundamental to liberalism as the hierarchy which is necessary to facilitate exploitation must control how people reproduce culturally as well as physically. Civil rights for racialized and queer people in these systems is articulated through the legal right to access capital both as a way to protect this imperative from violent challenges and redirect the threat these movements pose into the legal framework of the state to better control them.

“Sweetie,” you have to fucking think about what these people and systems actually do and why. **You do not know what you are fucking talking about. ** When I say liberals are fucking insufferable because they never know what they’re talking about and what the stakes are in the rise of fascism, I’m talking about you. I do not care what you think you subscribe to, because you’ve said as explicitly as possible that you do not care to know what you believe in.

I will not pay attention to your next comment, I won’t even read it. I post this only in the hopes that you aren’t some piece of shit who will never learn and in case there are other libs who may come across this comment thread and have their own internalized values challenged for once.

I mean, I’m not surprised saying something like that got you banned, criticizing Israel at all does that.

I am curious about whether you just mean they deserve to die on moral grounds or that this scenario involves some sort of legal framework that isn’t already culpable in said genocides. Netanyahu has a warrant out for his arrest by the International Criminal Court, it is unlikely he’ll face justice as long as the US dominates international politics. Even more, Canadian cops pull this sort of stuff all the time; Starlight tours still happen. How does this parse with legal systems, like Canada’s, that depend on the genocide of indigenous peoples to exist?

I’ve noticed that too. Many of them also hide their mod list, so it’s difficult to tell if there is actually a diversity of moderators that happen to be chuds or if there are common moderators that have successfully censored these subs.

I guess it is not inaccurate to label the London Ontario subreddit as a cop subreddit.

I commented to say I did not want to have cops near me on public transit, then posited that people who want them there and labeled critics as drug dealers perhaps are not the people who use the bus and aren’t very good people all around.

Who the fuck are you talking to rn? I’m not in the US.

edit: On top of that, it’s hilarious to have yet another person fail to understand what liberalism is. Did I say, “Democratic Party of the USA”? Liberalism is not a specific group of politicians in one country, it is also not specific parties who call themselves liberals, it is a specific ideology organized around individualism and capital that emerged through settler colonialism. Shut the FUUUUUUCK up about shit you don’t know about like how self-righteous. Go proselytize on street corners if you’re so desperate.

You’re going to drown dude.

Jesus fucking christ if I had a nickel for every lib that didn’t know what liberalism even is. Shut the fuck up about people online, you’re the one who doesn’t know what you’re talking about.

Won’t respond again.

Your most recent comment advocates for ableism. I couldn’t find a more perfect example of how brutal libs are.

The guys already a Nazi, disability did not make him a Nazi. Being a Nazi is more than enough to make fun of and it’s a choice too, so you can do that without also inadvertently devaluing of an entire group of people.

Fuck off.

Cool, what about the past three decades? Libs have allowed fascists into power as they always do and I’ve lived through three decades of them only talking. Reveling in hypocrisy is too late and too satisfying to people who don’t feel genuinely threatened.

1. Liberalism is hegemonic and its subscribers wield the greatest power over society.
2. Something being bad is not dependent on something else being good.
3. Everything that alleviates the harm of this system on me – voting rights, property and employment protection, food regulation, socialized Healthcare, socialized education – was all won with the blood of anarchists, socialists, and unionists.

My “preferred group” – whatever the fuck that means – is currently fighting liberals, as we’ve always done.

Now fuck off.

Nuclear families are intentionally isolating because it makes women and children more vulnerable.

I’m getting so fucking tired of libs’ satisfaction with hypocrisy. We already knew these people were Nazis, they’ve always fucking been Nazis. They say they aren’t because gaslighting is a fascist tactic and open support of Nazism doesn’t ring with racist middle class people who only have their internalized values to run on. Whenever chuds are caught lying there’s thousands of lib gotcha posts like it’s a victory.

Serious people already know this and unserious people will never accept this.

I don’t think it’s new info that there is a substantial percentage of fascists in communities that are predominantly cishet men.

You seem like a vile, miserable man.

Oh look, the consequences of so-called Canada’s actions once again. If only people spent the last half-century advocating against an economic dependency on extractive capitalism because of the fundamentally fascist politics that results from it.

Except, there’s indigenous nations in Alberta that would be put at risk if the Province of Alberta decides to fuck up this bad.

Not effectively, no.
