How was I transphobic? Because I assume everything you say is a lie?
You can say whatever you want, the reality is that you have a personal grudge against me because I don't accept your bullshit and I call you out on it.
Imagine suggesting that detailing the millions of deaths in the great leap forward is 'U.S. Empire apologia'. Like I said, you're 100% mentally ill - and you routinely lie or sweep for countries responsible for millions of their own peoples deaths.
Choke on it.
Dude you were being extremely transphobic. I actually went and read your convo. You were using the fact that Diva is trans so say some really horrible shit. No wonder she doesn't want you posting in her comm.
Even if you differ in opinion. You actually do have to be nice to people and you do have to treat everyone with respect.
Bullshit, post the comments - I don't need to be nice to anyone, especially not people who sweep for mass murderers.
Again, why should I be nice? Tell me why I should be nice to someone saying death to America?
What I said here is 100% accurate.
Death to America means death to the imperial regime. It does not mean death to the American people. It is not a personal attack on you. It feels like you took it personally and starting throwing transphobic insults. If you want to make the world a better place. You have to do better.
question, are you a police officer? or just cop-brained?
Literally anyone with half of a brain recognizes that not voting for Kamala was the wrong choice. Congratulations, you and your alt account have proven my points for me.
Also, sick strawman - post the transphobia.
i already did officer
Oh so it is your alt account, great to have that established.
Now that I've proven you're a deceitful liar, what's confusing about this? I called you a clanker and a troglodyte too - is that transphobic now?
No, now run along to your safe spaces and cry about me.
Are you high? That is the same account.
Oh, no - I have things to do besides brigade on Lemmy. It is funny how you seem to show up any time Diva gets into it, I wonder why that is?
I could assume alt accounts but I'll call it what it is - brigading.
The reason I’m here is you:
Why would these reports go to you instead of the no stupid questions mods?
Odd
Each report goes to:
it was in my first reply to you here, i have two alt accounts, diva@hexbear.net and diva@lemmy.blahaj.zone
you said that i'm not trans because you don't like my politics, you dehumanize all of your political enemies. in your twisted cop mind you're not being 'transphobic', because i'm not even human in your eyes.
spoiler
Yeah you keep calling me a cop, you do understand that the DoJ isn't 100% cops - correct?
Beyond which, no - I dehumanize people I dislike. I specifically dislike you, and I'm justified - especially considering every single conversation with you turns into brigading and a circlejerk between you me and Davel.
Turns out, I just don't give enough of a fuck to court extremists! So yes I'll say whatever the fuck I want, because ultimately it doesn't matter - if it hurts your feelings maybe you should examine what made me so militant against you in the first place.
Spoilers: it'd be you dehumanizing Americans.
Edit: No, you're right about one thing, I can shit sling without dehumanizing you. That was wrong of me - I don't take any of it back because people like you are the reason Trump is president.
i asked if you were a cop, since you sound like one and said that you worked for them. is this a denial? did you have a sudden career change?
i mean i'm used to cops behaving like you, so it's not a big surprise, if you're not a cop its certainly rubbing off from your coworkers
are you really that surface level?
'marg bar ameriki'/death to america doesn't mean 'kill americans', it's wishing for an end to the american government and its oppressive reign of terror around the world. like in iran they say 'death to traffic' and it doesn't mean they want every other driver to be killed, it means they want it to end.
you have demonstrated an extremely poor ability to process words from me and i feel bad for any women in your life when you've had a bad day
Dude, in the fucking thread you linked you state - multiple times - America deserved 9/11.
I'm not playing extremist whack-a-mole with you fucking trogs, there's nothing surface level about my interpretation - you're sitting here crying about me dehumanizing you when you started the conversation by dehumanizing Americans.
just establishing that your support of trans people is conditional on your approval of their politics
you are being very evasive about your participation in the carceral state, was it just a job for you or do you really like putting people in cages?
'land of the free' with more people imprisoned than anywhere else in the world
Oh, is 'dude' not gender neutral anymore? I can never figure out with you people, what is and what isn't transphobia changes with the wind and depends on which person you're speaking to.
I don't care, cry about it in your echo chamber - I'm sure that'll make your life better.
Edit: Also no, I'm not being evasive - I just don't like you. Why would I engage in good faith with someone who would just as soon see me dead?
i'm not a fan of getting called 'dude', but that was not i was referring to.
i was referring to how you in the conversation i linked you claim to support trans people but then roll out transphobia alongside all your other abuse any time your sacred cow (american chauvinism) is threatened.
I'd say it's alarming that you can't see why that's a problem, but I'm used to how ignorant cops can be
Yes we've established that you're an extremist, the question was rhetorical.
I'm not a cop, but I do think it's funny that you assume 'you people' means trans people and not tankies/far left extremists. Big 'I'm just asking questions' energy on your redefining of the words 'Death to America'.
Again, I don't give a shit that you're trans - that's ultimately where my support of trans people begins and ends. You're a shithead just like the bulk of humanity, what color you paint yourself with doesn't matter to me - it all ends up looking like targets to poke at.
you're not a cop, just a coworker, got it. maybe collaborator?
anyway i'm actually just citing the actual meaning behind 'death to america' as intended by the people using the chant.
framing it as an attack on the american people rather than the government is just again demonstrating your surface level understanding of things.
you are literally the blue version of maga
Nope, I've not worked for the DoJ for years - as a contractor I've worked with various state departments over the course of my career. Speaking of which, I've gone to every No King's protest and handed out abolish ICE stickers - not sure how that makes me a collaborator.
So, and I need you to pay the fuck attention to what I'm asking, why would anyone ever assume that this 'real meaning' matters when tensions between both countries have been rising over the past 70 years?
Why would I, ever, as an American assume that 'Death to America' combined with 'America deserved 9/11' doesn't mean exactly what the fuck it says?
'I'm just joking!' 'I'm just asking questions!' 'I'm just citing the original meaning!'
You can fuck right off with that bullshit.
glad that you're attending the performative protests, I'm not a big fan of the indivisible orgs i've run into. most recently had one group attempt to burn our local anti-ice group because they did a protest without a permit. complete impotent hall monitor energy.
I mean i do expect ignorance from americans, I live here and i see it every day. I like to challenge you guys a little bit, gives you room to show what you really think about the rest of us.
that's a hell of a euphamism for 'we couped their government and have been waging decades of economic war
you definitely sound like a government employee, bought in
Right, I forgot - nothing short of bombing the place I work will do. No I need to give you a diatribe of all the ways I've made life hard for ICE/MAGAts - because only then can I be a true ~~scotsman~~ I mean comrade.
This is weird, I went to the protests specifically to connect with groups that would act outside of the protests.
My dudette, you don't need to bother punctuating. If it gets you to the answers faster I don't give a shit. Also, none of this has been a challenge - this is just me killing time.
Where did I say that this was good? When have I ever said the Iranians deserve what's happened to them? When have I ever said that the U.S. should be in the Middle East? I'm surprised you haven't tried to say I'm pro Israel.
Holy shit, you're sitting here trying to suggest I'm ignoring nuance when that is quite literally your entire shtick. You're sitting here acting like you don't know damn well what you were doing (shit slinging, exactly like I was) and you expect me to treat you with respect?
tbh at this point even if you did luigi your office i would still disavow you on the basis of your gross behavior to me
like if you're actually opposed to the carceral state that you were a part of and have some remorse about that i would think you would have a little less vitriol for those of us on the left that call for it to be abolished.
i call for death to america because we bring death everywhere else and comfortable americans need to have their sensibilities shocked a bit.
'amerikkka must be dismantled' doesn't have the same ring to it
i go to these things for the same reason too yaknow. my orgs a regular at pretty much every protest.
tell me about it, i did get to educate you about my favorite political slogan tho at least
yes. in every interaction we've had you seem to have more ire for people on your left than nazis, zionists, conservatives. if you want me to view you as anything other than an abusive asshole maybe you could try changing your tack
Yes nothing is ever good enough, blah blah blah, I'm a zionist or a fascist or whatever - shut the fuck up and crawl back into your safe space.
excuse me for having an opinion of you based on your actions and work history
also ty for demonstrating again in classic bluemaga fashion you have more hostility to people on your left than nazis, zionists or conservatives
You simply must be braindead, to think that I wouldn't speak this way to conservatives or nazis. I'm not sure where the zionists are, but you seem to know much more about that than I do.
You can go cry in your safe space now, I'm sure there will be someone there you can circlejerk with.
What do you mean? You post on meanwhileongrad, here's you circlejerking about Hamas with some Zionists in your safe space.
In this you're crying about how mean people are to Americans and then doing the same thing you did with me earlier. asserting that they're fake trans for not going along with Zionist narratives about Muslims and for not being american jingoists like you are
You dredge up a comment from 3 years ago and think you're beating the schizo allegations?
Also, how many times have you pivoted at this point? Are you part of the schizo squad that follows Hasan Piker around and harasses people for him? That would actually be fucking hilarious.
it was actually extremely easy, i just searched for comments you made about hamas in the nazi bar
i don't watching fucking streamers, but thanks for tipping your hand as to where your political education comes from
fish is unaware of the water it swims in
Cultist says I'm dumb and wrong, I'm in shambles! Meanwhile they sweep for Mao and Stalin.
Like I've said, you're a schizo extremist that's found themselves captured by a cult.
dawg i'm an anarchist, this is just where i come to shitpost
Yet here you are advocating for an institution!
Or is Hamas not an institution? Oh, right, if they're brown it means they're just poor people punching up, if they're white they're wrong. I forgot how that self hatred works, you are white correct?
ну как сказать, смотря у кого спросить
i want palestinians to stop being murdered by a colonial state armed with tax money i'm contributing to
taking issue with demonizing the targets of the us-israeli genocide is not advocacy for any institution
No I'm pretty sure everyone accepts that Russians are white, but whatever - it's not like this kind of mental gymnastics is outside the realm of possibility for you.
Of course, because they're poor brown people who can't create institutions! Also the Holodomor didn't happen and the deaths in the Great Leap Forward were all good for the country.
Everywhere you try to pivot you end up contradicting yourself. Which is par for the course, you have an imaginary ideology.
you jump around making up positions for me plucked from your own ignorance and then say i'm the one pivoting and imagining things. incredible.
How? I assume you're deceitful, you are, so I write off the things you say and make up whatever I want about you. How is this inconsistent?
You call yourself an anarchist yet all you do is sweep for mass murderers. Of course your ideology is imaginary lmao
you don't like me (wonder why that is
) so you make up things to get mad at. got it.
i am an anarchist cause that's who my comrades are in organizing irl. i'm not in any ml orgs, but i do prefer their presence to liberals or whatever you're supposed to be.
also a collaborator with the carceral state, i would rather be dead in a ditch
Ah yes, I don't like you and the reason must be because you're trans - not that you regularly dehumanize Americans and sweep for mass murderers.
I sincerely doubt you go outside.
