Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Just because someone said something in another post that you don't like does not justify being rude to them in another post. If you do not have a constructive answer to give don't answer at all when someone is asking a serious question.
On your post i responded also and my response was strongly in favor of defending welfare programs. I disagree with what OP wrote there. It is entirely fine to engage in a heated discussion on this topic on that thread because that is what that thread was for. What i am objecting to is dragging a disagreement from one post into another completely unrelated post. This creates a toxic and un-comradely atmosphere.
We should also not jump straight to the most uncharitable possible interpretation of what a comrade says. This is not a space where you need to be that defensive. You are among comrades, not among reactionaries who want to harm you. If you think someone is wrong explain to them how and why their view is wrong and potentially harmful. Do not directly accuse them of deliberately wanting to do harm.
Personal attacks do not help. Education does.
im gonna give you some credit because you joined 3 days ago but when i think of welfare state i think of a social democracy that still exploits the global south for resources. im gonna misinterpret u just as bad you did me. do disabled people in africa and western asia deserve to die? because they do, where do you think the funding for the welfare states come from if not from those nations? people in these nations have no energy to care for the disabled after being exploited for resources and endless western backed coups. did the mamdani thing set you off ? genuinely because youre my comrade and i want to understand
And how is that going for ya, crashing out on random people on lemmygrad being your method of self defense and resistance against the fascists?
