The rules clearly state that that comm is for US politics only.
Saying that shit happening in Gaza is US politics because it’s US made weapons is flimsy at best. Jordan has spoken out on many occasions on the subject and probably agrees with you more than you’d care to admit on how things are being handled there.
He’s just upholding the rules of the comm.
As has been pointed out- You have no argument supporting your accusations here. Your links only verify that you did not follow the rules of that comm even after you were told what they were.
And before you go accusing me of bOoTliCkiNg rhetoric, go ahead and check my history and see that I’ve been moderated and banned from that sub several times.
Just follow the rules man. There like, 30 or so other places you could post those links. You’re just trolling the comm at this point repeatedly posting that.
(Disclaimer: I am fully aware that this is a nuanced take and this is lemmy. Therefore by default, I fully expect no one to even try to consider any of this)
Flame away!
My contention, which I have clearly delineated in my comments links and sources, is that you cannot state such a ridiculous policy and hope to apply it with any consistency, whether it be a problematic inconsistency such as around the Palestinian Genocide or more harmless species of inconsistency where the word "Blog" is enough to automatically bar an article from the community even when the contents of the website are clearly not a "Blog" in the way the rules intend to specify.
No, Jordan's beliefs scare the shit out of me, they are set up in gleeful ignorance to turn around and blame Israel and jews for this massive mess we have gotten ourselves into, it is so clear how the story being set up intentionally, unintentionally or some mixture of the two is leading towards really scary anti-semitism as a replacement for more serious conversation about the direct complicity of the US along many different dimensions in the Palestinian Genocide. Jordan's beliefs lead straight into squeezing your eyes shut, putting your fingers in your ears and saying "na na na I can't hear you!" when the world tries to get you to reckon with the reality of the colonialism you are participating in, the reality that Israel is very much an echo of the US in some ways. Then after they go away, you open your eyes, see everything is on fire and then point at jews and say "What is happening!!!!!! They LIED to us! They backstabbed us! Our greatness was sabotaged!".
Jordan repeats that the Palestinian Genocide is awful but that the US didn't know and cannot be held responsible for what Israel is doing. Not only is it an amateur understanding of geopolitics to think the world works in such neat clean divisions, it is a dangerous fairy tale to believe in that disguises a more complex reality where we are far more complicit in the suffering around us than we want to admit.
Rules are not neutral, you cannot dismiss my criticism of them by just telling me to follow them.
Please provide proof I am trolling, I post lots of links about a variety of topics. Only one very narrow category seems to get moderated by Jordan Lund and it worries me, it should worry you too.
The arguments from Lund’s defenders would make John Yoo proud. It’s weaponized feigned obtuseness, which I think is Lund’s M.O. as well.
You’re trolling because you were told the first time not to post those links in that comm and continued doing so.
All the rest is irrelevant. The rules are stated, and it’s been determined that your posts violate those rules. That’s it.
If you don’t like it, just don’t post there. As is usually advised in these situations- make your own comm and post whatever you want. But if you post in others, you are subject to their rules and their interpretation of their rules.
That’s how it is.
You’re free to block the comm, and in your case, i recommend you do as it seems its visiblility is enough to entice you to continue violating their rules.
But at the end of the day, he’s not breaking any rules. They are clearly stated. You’re just looking for trouble.
You have provided no proof I am trolling, please stop accusing me of it.
The rules of the comm are proof. Your screenshots are proof. At this point, you’re just trying to take the piss.
Rules are not neutral, you cannot dismiss my criticism of them because in your perception of things I did not follow the rules if my contention is correct since there is no way for you to be sure the fractured understanding you have of a moderation policy built on a logical fallacy is the same as mine.
The only way to be sure of that is to adhere to a moderation policy not built upon a logical fallacy so we know if we both agree on the same starting axioms that we can suss out a logical connection between our two points of view.
This really isn't even about me being right in my particular political arguments, there is a fundamental philosophical faceplant Jordan Lund is doing here about the basic mechanisms of geopolitics that transcends the specifics of any of my particular arguments.
Unfortunately the consequences are not abstract, we are talking about discussion around a Genocide.
^insert "US Politics" and "US Vassal State Politics" in for "ketchup and mustard"

JFC dude… read the rules of the page in the sidebar. You’re trying to sound intellectual, but all you’re doing is just trying to justify trolling.
I’m not arguing this with you. You are in the wrong despite your inability to accept it.
Thank you for publicly stating your conscious dereliction of responsibility to engage in good faith here.
You got “dereliction of responsibility to engage in good faith” from my stating that I’m not going to argue with you if you’re going to refuse to even try to see that you are in the wrong?
LMAO!
Your $5 words are worthless when they have no merit behind their meaning. I look forward to seeing nothing being done about this.
