It looks like he got a stern talking to and couldn't take it.
I guess his flack jacket doesn't protect against harsh words

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of "ML" (read: Dengist) influence. 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, discussion and agitprop/stuff that's better fit for a poster than a meme 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!
Rules
0. Only post socialist memes
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. Please post agitprop here)
0.5 [Provisional Rule] Use alt text or image descriptions to allow greater accessibility
(Please take a look at our wiki page for the guidelines on how to actually write alternative text!)
We require alternative text (from now referred to as "alt text") to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.
We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.
When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don't add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.
0.5.1 Style tip about abbreviations and short forms
When writing stuff like "lol" and "iirc", it's a good idea to try and replace those with their all caps counterpart
- ofc => OFC
- af = AF
- ok => OK
- lol => LOL
- bc => BC
- bs => BS
- iirc => IIRC
- cia => CIA
- nato => Nato (you don't spell it when talking, right?)
- usa => USA
- prc => PRC
- etc.
Why? Because otherwise (AFAIK), screen readers will try to read them out as actually words instead of spelling them
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here
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.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such
That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.
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" (read: Dengists) (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).
4. No Bigotry.
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
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)
6. Don't irrationally idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
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.
- Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
- Racism
- Sexism
- Queerphobia
- Ableism
- Classism
- Sexual assault
- Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
- Fascism
- (National) chauvinism
- Orientalism
- Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
- Zionism
- Religious fundamentalism of any kind

Lynched?
"I was lynched" says man who very clearly is still alive.
Unfortunately still alive
"I got better"
I wanna see a video compilation of how all this went down with the infidel guy.
Why are there so many dough-boy toddler Nazis?
I'm guessing this is mostly rhetorical.. But my 2¢: They failed at everything since kindergarten: education, socialisation, relationships, career, finances; everything they've tried they failed or they feel like they failed.
They need therapy, but that costs vulnerability and money, and their parents or peers told them it was for the weak. So instead, they get angry, and look around and on the first page of Insta, YouTube, and Facebook they find people like Shapiro, Fuentes, Petersen, Crowder, Southern - all telling them that someone else is to blame, not them, and then pointing at ~~immigrants~~ illegals, ~~blacks~~ inner city youth, and ~~Jews~~ globalists.
So now they're looking for that someone else to punch down on to soothe their extreme insecurities, shame, and anger at the world (and themselves), but they're still that doughy, insecure 'failure' that they haven't done anything to change.
When i was around 18, some 20 years ago, there was a town close to where i grew up, and they had a nazi problem. They had a bunch of weirdo neo nazis there and their numbers would grow over time. I hated it, because instead of going out and having a good time, a lot of our weekends were spent beating up neo nazis and making sure they don't "claim" certain bars and establishments. I kept wondering what their appeal was, and how they even find new people.
Suddenly it was pretty clear, they just accepted everyone with open arms. People who had trouble finding friends, people who didn't feel like they belonged anywhere, outcasts and misfits. Or just people who are so shitty that they never found friends. That shit made me so sad, because me and my friends were misfits as well. Just a bunch of nerds who found each other through music and smoking weed and being weirdos.
From what i gathered later on, like 90% of them grew out of it and lived a normal life. Some of them have to live with the shame of having a swastika tattoo or a Hitler bust somewhere on their body. And some of them just die on the hill of being neo nazi scumbags.
Suddenly it was pretty clear, they just accepted everyone with open arms
Surely, not everyone lol
Thanks for your story. I'm a misfit nerd also, so it resonates with me.
I'm sure its something we can fix at large scale with government-funded mental health care, social programs, funding for community centers, and integrating mental health and social science studies into education, amongst many possible solutions that would get us to a society where everyone can find somewhere to fit in, and everyone has better options than the snake-oil salesmen when they seek help or are angry at a personal situation.
Unfortunately we presently live in the era of the techofeudalists, and eyeballs on ads and keeping users consuming are pretty much all they care about - not only do they not care if the media they promote and put ads alongside happens to be divisive alt-right hate media, they also benefit from the conservative (anti-regulation, small government, anti-tax) parties being pushed to power by these groups. It's a frustrating feedback loop that we need to break free of, and governments worldwide seem ill-prepared to broach it.
Ugh. For context, I'm currently trying to steer a younger family member out of the alt-right pipeline and angry about how hard it is to beat constant access to thousands of videos / talking points pushed into their feed daily, with the couple hours I see them a week to attempt to 'deprogram' them.. without trying to come across preachy or put them off learning alternative viewpoints (evidence-based reality). Its a struggle.
Humans generally are genetically programmed to be in groups (social, cultural etc...). These individuals usually have lower IQ than average or at the bottom margin of the average, they are also open to suggestions and lack proper understating how the real world and human relationships work due to their environment(family&social). So, they are easier to be recruited by other idiots whom they think are cool people.
As some folks used to say online ages ago: qq moar
I thought lynching was hanging by mob? If he was literally lynched, who was typing from his account? You know, now that he's dead. From the lynching he had literally done to him.
Lynching isn't always hanging, but it IS always killing.
Lynching is springing someone from jail to enact mob "justice".
"Literally lynched"
lynched verb Simple past tense and past participle of lynch.
lynch
/lĭnch/transitive verb
To punish (a person) without legal process or authority, especially by hanging, for a perceived offense or as an act of bigotry.
To inflict punishment upon, especially death, without the forms of law, as when a mob captures and hangs a suspected person. See lynch law.
verb
To execute (somebody) without a proper legal trial or procedure, especially by hanging.
Sure... If you absolutely stretch the word to its barest of meanings, he received punishment without law. But he wasn't lynched by any sane person's understanding of the word. What an attention seeking little cry baby.
“I was just lynched” Is an inherently funny sentence to anyone with a laymen’s understanding of the word.
“Literally lynched.“
“I’m calling for a bunch of peoples lives to be destroyed and I’m the victim because people accosted and threw shit at me”
Yeah this guy can go fuck himself. This is how the fascists should have been treated from the get go, maybe we wouldn’t be in this situation then.
All nazis just want to cry for attention on twitter
That’s why it’s ok to give them a real reason
I just realised, this is probably why they think African Americans are pussies for the getting all sad about "lynchings" because the dumbasses think it just means to be yelled at, and no strung up to a tree and hanged by a mob of violent, belligerent, angry racists.
That is how they are currently abusing language that is usually used to protect marginalized people.
My personal favorite is how providing basic sex education is "sexualizing children". Fuck these dishonest cowardly pieces of shit.
A teacher at the middle school where I (Texan) worked was complaining to me about how horrible it is that she had to teach sex ed. She said that the kids are too young to learn all this. I argued that anyone old enough to breed is already too old to start learning this. After some increasingly heated back and forth, I loudly asked "at what point during the pregnancy should children start learning how sex works??"
To double down on her stupidity, she said "the girls wouldn't get pregnant if the schools didn't have to normalize sex for them!"
Exasperated, I threw my hands up and said, "I forgot about the thousands of years during which humans cloned themselves because they weren't taught about sex yet!"
I'd be curious to know why she thinks sex isn't "normal". One of the biggest tragedies of this mentality is that some percentage of the students who don't get sex ed live in households where they get sexually abused and don't know how to handle it, and think it's somehow their fault.
I will agree with her that SHE shouldn't be teaching sex ed.
Yup. Same phenomenon. Same as we need to "protect" children from crossdressers. Or "protect" women from trans people simply existing.
"literally" has been used as an intensifier to mean figuratively for as long as its literal meaning.
He wasn't figuratively lynched either lmao.
His feelings were.
The water balloons in winter are such a good move
Especially if you let them freeze for like a quarter inch or so.
Or rock solid.
Quarter inch is better. Hurts on impact but also gets the recipient wet, which sucks in a Minnesota winter. Sort of a damage-over-time effect.
I have a book " at the hands of persons unknown" it is the history of lynching in America.
Lots of pictures, none of the lynched people in them ever told anyone they had been lynched.
Why does he look like Kyle Rittenhouse?
Because he wants to.
