feel free to remove if it's too low quality. Just wanted to post somewhere nice for a change.
karmas a bitch
what did I do wrong?
people are fickle beasts who like to use votes to express their opinion rather than relevancy
This is why I would disable them. Or call them dislikes and make them add to the score. as it's still an opinion.
I think they were talking about electoral votes lol
I guess you could see it that way. Just the "opinion rather than relevancy" sounds so appropriate to the downvote topic that I assumed it was that.
It is possible I misunderstood, who knows
Low effort posts? Those sounds like shit post or circle jerk level memes.
If you want I'll remove it.
Idgaf just offering why you may have gotten down voted. I prob would have upvoted both myself.
You think the election posts were low quality? I was going more of a clean minimalist vibe instead. Got any tips?
If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your shoe.
Lefty memes is too visible to the "VOTE" liberals of lemmy world so they downvote any such opinion or meme without a second thought.
Anyway don't worry about the votes they don't matter.
Why?
Because human society is based on rationalisation of the unacceptable as being tolerable. If we could strip such delusions away, society would go mad.
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
as well as condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
(This is not a definitive list, the spirit of the other rules still counts! Eventual duplicates with other rules are for emphasis.)
