Criticising liberal policy is absolutely reasonable
Using “the libs” as a catch-all term for “anyone I disagree with” is the marker of an incoming terrible take

Didn’t mention capitalism, and I consider myself a socialist, but go off
Word “libs” in first 5 words, opinion rejected
Or - get this - it’s because I’m from a country where having more guns than citizens isn’t considered normal.
Children aren’t old enough to vote, why the fuck would you think it’s a good idea to give them easy access to ranged, deadly weapons?
“Gunphobic” is an absurd term, because a phobia implies an irrational fear, so fearing misuse of objects explicitly created for killing things isn’t exactly a “phobia” so much as it is a legitimate concern for the country with the 2nd highest rate of firearm homicides per capita on the planet.
In my country, we don’t do “school shooting drills”. We don’t need to.
Of course, the solution to children using deadly weapons is to give them to more children. Genius!
“You are welcome, comrade biden”
Bold to go with the pro-auth-left take
I’m just going to ignore the long responses to stuff I didn’t claim in the first place
Okay but this isn’t “oh no, there are tankies around”, it’s the admin of one of the largest Lemmy instances systematically suppressing information about massacres and genocide.
There’s quite a big gap between banning “opinions you don’t like” and defederating from a systemically auth-left instance, in the same way that defederating from an auth-right instance would be a no-brainer.
I think the lemmy software itself isn’t so much the problem (in that it isn’t politically moderated), but the way he moderated his own instances make a fairly compelling reason for defederation
You had me for a moment there
There are dozens of us!
But that definition from Wikipedia doesn’t contain the contested part of the definition, that it is a “transitional system”
It’s okay for people with bad takes to be here too - that’s why the fediverse is special
The swastika doesn’t have the same associations with the Nazis in Asia
I’m well aware who she is - but as I said, and you clearly failed to comprehend, she didn’t say what you think she did
You Ave no there there
I was joking about the literacy thing but…
You know it’s going to be good when you link a tweet from someone who called people paedophiles in retaliation for saying he was racist, got sued for slander and lost!
There’s a difference between “the court didn’t determine it was plausible” (ie the court didn’t assess its plausibility) and “it isn’t plausible”
So you can’t use it as proof that it isn’t a genocide, because that’s not what she said at all.
As you say: but nice try, I guess! It’s a shame I’m literate!
Next time, I recommend actually watching your source rather than regurgitating what the racist says 👍
What’s silly?
Seems like you’ve just misinterpreted that sign?
Like yeah, it’s not a great sign - partly because it’s easy for people like you to intentionally misinterpret - but it’s pretty clear it’s saying that the Israeli killing of 1.5% of the population of Gaza, and displacement of 85% is a genocide.
Twice. I did it twice.
“generally speaking” as in “I pulled this stat out of my ass”
Calling you a russian bot isn’t exactly a liberal policy, is it?
If your reasoning for determining someone is “a lib” is saying that, then that’s exactly how you’re using the term.
The fact you immediately assumed I was a capitalist is a pretty compelling argument that you’re not good at determining people’s ideologies based on their unrelated complaints about your bad takes
