No they do not, I run into 'libertarians' all the time and they're always fundamentally pro capitalism + private property. That's pretty fundamental divergence in world view.

Picking between two bourgeois parties is when the election doesn't really matter. I'm an anarchist and I'd rather vote for the MLs running in the margins than waste my vote on some capitalist

supporting 'the troops' in pretty much any context

From what I can tell the only person calling people 'stupid' so far is you.

If Epstein was 'common knowledge,' why didn't that common knowledge stop him or his associates? I don't think the point OP is making is not that all/most conspiracy theories are real, it's that structural critique that used to be marginalized is becoming mainstream because reality is making it undeniable.

It's okay if you have a visceral reaction to the term 'deep state' but the point is that there are power structures that operate largely independent of democratic control, have repeatedly acted against public interest, and face minimal accountability.

I would point to COINTELPRO, the various CIA coups, mass surveillance, and systematic lying about wars that happens with bipartisan consensus.

Libertarians/AnCaps:

  • Starting point: "Property rights are natural/fundamental"
  • Everything that violates property = theft/aggression
  • Therefore: taxation is theft, regulation is tyranny, the state is violence
  • Conclusion: Reject all collective obligations, pursue individual self-interest

Stirnerites/Egoists:

  • Starting point: "The ego is fundamental"
  • Everything that constrains the ego = sp**k/phantom
  • Therefore: morality is a spk, society is a spk, solidarity is a spk, your mom is a spk
  • Conclusion: Reject all collective obligations, pursue individual self-interest

wow, what cool and real ideologies

I think the funniest part is that OP is mad about getting banned while complaining about this:

I am, however it turns out the server your internet forum account is registered on is the real determining factor for your politics, rather than any work you do or any positions you hold

It's a meme about smol bean SPD who just happened to end up in a bad situation through no fault of their own, just like the Democratic party.

Was getting sick of the endless political horseshoe/fishhook/stethoscope left punching memes, so I made this for !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com, crossposting here since most of the emojis are lifted from here

Feel free to roast me or suggest shit to add

Round 2, this is a follow-up to this post

1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

https://quokk.au/u/quokka

2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

Account purged/deleted

3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

I asked quokka for an explanation, but did not receive a response until I mentioned it in the db0 general chat.

Here's the comment in /c/slop where I link my yptb post because someone mentioned that I had been banned for my original comment.

I did not include any call to action and I directed the conversation to YPTB because /c/slop is not for getting into it about specific moderators/admins on fedi.

As to what my 'goals' were by linking to it; we're on a discussion forum, signposting a conversation happening elsewhere is not what I would consider 'brigading'.

The post that I linked to was my own post in YPTB complaining about getting comm banned for pointing out the misogyny in the OOP post title

5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Posting links to other comments to direct discussion there is extremely common on fediverse.

Because this was a full account purge rather than a ban, this looks like pretty clear retaliation to hide criticism of the mod that I was calling out for misogyny, rather than addressing the issue in a serious way at all.

As stated by quokka in the above matrix message, on quokk.au there's apparently an unwritten rule that if you're posting a link on hexbear to anywhere it's grounds for total account deletion due to 'brigading' if one of their members doesn't like what you're saying.

It looks pretty unprecedented based on their modlog, the only people receiving such action previously were spammers

Meanwhile, there's an entire community out there where posts are linked to on other instances with sarcastic, hyperbolic paraphrases and clear calls to action. Worth noting that even the most egregious users there don't have their accounts purged on .ml.

The moderator that I called out (and I have to assume they were the one to report reported me) is an active participant there, and seems to see no problem with that type of behavior.

Looks like a clear double standard and retaliation for calling out the moderators overreaction to me pointing out a misogynistic post title.

 
1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

74 year community ban for 'homophobia'

3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

here's the exchange that resulted in the ban:

5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

I'm gay, trans, and an anarchist. I thought the post title was misogynistic, objectifying, and not a good example something that should be in a 'queer friendly' space.

Not everyone is okay with sexual degradation humor, misogynistic comments, etc, even if it's about people you disagree with. Pointing that out in this case got me called a homophobic tankie and banned within minutes of making the post.

 

okay which one of you is this i-cant

cw: 4 year old post, if it was from today they would probably be going on about piefed

they post violence about housing providers and they all laugh. Crypto, therapeutics, any remote discussion of no new normal, flat-earth/conical earth just really any conspiracy stuff it's just laughed at and they will send pictures of disgusting stuff to you. I got pictures of poop pig ball and other things.
