I'm utterly convinced fascism as a term is only employed by western supremacists at this point.
Euros invade the global south: YAY
Germany invades western europe: BOO
Anyone who unironically uses the term "redfash" honestly doesn't deserve to be taken seriously, either in discourse or as a human being.
It's a term a "leftist" professor that has been bought by the CIA would use. That's probably how it originated.
hexbear has been officially censured by lemmy.world due to us being "red fash" and a "brigade" instance despite never providing any actual proof of hexbear's brigading.
Also fediseer is maintained by db0 and there's a clear conflict of interest there. db0 is defederated from lemmygrad, they cannot effectively moderate our appearing on their silly little database.
No big loss. I didn’t know about the rest of lemmy until about a week ago.
A lot of people struggle to define exactly what is fascism, but that’s because it’s just capitalism, but intensified. If you had to give a definition, it’s imperialism turned inwards.
That's precisely why fascism has been colloquially redefined to mean only what the Nazis did.
Otherwise we'd look at neoliberalism, or even post war era social democracy, and see that it's just fascism.
I got the DM too and honestly for an "anti-spam" database they send out a lot of spam. I literally do not care that we don't appear on their list, I don't need a DM to both tell me we got on it and then that we got taken out. It's the most redditor DM too I don't know how to explain it, just read it:
It gets sent to the entire admin team too lol
when they sent me the DM, I replied "good for you" and simply moved on with my morning.
because like, did they seriously think anyone cares at all that they defeded from us?
edit:: after investigation, it was an automated message, and wasn't informing me of defederation. Still annoying though.
You mean you didn't immediately prostrate yourself and beg to know what tasks you must do to enjoy their good graces again? Weird.
Genuinely pathetic.
Oh no!
Anyway...
Endorsement lol
I went ahead and looked into it a little closer.
We're still on their whitelist, which could honestly be an accident. But if it's not, then it makes the second part of my findings more annoying.
We were added to the "censored" category because one instance listed us as being "redfash". We banned a person registered to this instance for "liberalism" a short while ago. Meaning, very likely, they retaliated by listing us as redfash on Fediseer.
such a fuckin reddit moment.
for people who care, our endorsement to censor ratio is 3/1
how do you “endorse” this instance? Is it something that just anyone can do?
It looks like you have to be an instance admin.
From what I gather, instance admins file endorsements & censorships on other instances, listing their reasons.
It's nice that it's democratized, but it's not nice that one person can put you on the censor list.
Cool thanks. So which instance admin was that guy?
I simply do not know.
Also hillarious, its always the liberals using "refash".
Who
Some ppl working on a federated blocklist tool. Apparently anti-imperialism deserves to be blocked along with pedo instances, according to its wise creators.
It's not even a blocklist tool, it's just a suggestion to instance admins as a starter blocklist lol. Absolutely pathetic
New interpretation of horseshoe theory just dropped.
Ironic as imperialism and the p-word very often go together.
The moment I saw that someone (and that "someone" being db0 who already blocks us on their own instance lol) was working on a "better alternative" to The Bad Space (a blocklist that's been getting a lot of negative attention on Mastodon/etc. for being really bad lol) that it would go exactly like this
I think about that a lot. Both the redefinition of fascism to mean the specific policies and behaviours of the Nazi party, and the fact that the EU successfully achieved quietly and without much resistance what the Nazis attempted loudly and brashly.
The term red fash specifically has absolutely no meaning beyond telling us that the speaker has no interest in understanding political ideology. It's kind of like tankie but more dumb.
Fediseer deez nuts
They didn’t even say RedFashTankie smh
Who?
I basically only comment here anyway. Sometimes elsewhere if I accidentally click all. No big loss. Hope the libs enjoy me reminding them of this though every time they whine about CHINESE HATE FREE SPEECH. Maybe. And so do you. It's kind of sad when you got the godless soulless commies!! putting up with annoying libs all day but they meltdown after being called pieces of shit a few times. I expected nothing and my expectations were met.
