“Accountability is the same as fascism and racism”

You are such a loser, please block me again so I don’t have to deal with you replying to me.

Also temporarily unblocked because I came across this in modlogs after reporting spammers. Similar with a below poster you’re on here, all hours, spamming inflammatory political post. There’s enough posters who clearly don’t do much else with their time but use lemmy as a means to vent their frustration about their lives. Regardless of if I may appreciate why some protest Australia Day. Finding you then tagged a bunch of people who downvoted you to try and paint them as racist and shame them has all but confirmed this for me.

Edited: removed the redundant personal remarks, as even if stand by them, especially getting off social media, I think enough people are in here making that point. You can celebrate Aus day and not be racist. The binary view and political posting is why the downvote. Im not opposed to moving the day due to what it means to indigenous Australians. Most people celebrate it for having a day off work, to drink, and us becoming our own country/not being poms. Doubt you care given your replies in here but hope that clears it up for you.
