What do you mean how so?
The democrats are prolific warmongers, they just think they're smarter about it than Republicans.
The OP meme is not calling for nuance, it's saying that if you're shittalking democrats you're helping Republicans win.
My democrat state rep sucks and is in practice a thinly-veiled Republican coasting on incumbency and people not investigating beyond the 'D'
My federal rep (D) has been actively complicit in perpetuating the genocide in Palestine and allowing Trump to walk all over Venezuela. I actually put in a lot of effort with antiwar groups to try to sway them in the past. What I learned is that when it comes to war and empire if they want to climb the ranks in DC they're going to tow the line.
Open Republicans are obviously worse, but theyre also a non factor in my state, they just run for 'nonpartisan' seats or pose as democrats. This is also why i chaff at vote-bluers, they will act like challenging an incumbent 'democrat' who sucks is somehow helping Republicans
I refuse to stop shit talking democrats, if they weren't absolutely complicit warmongers we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.
sure, but I wasn't being homophobic in that comment either.
the comment:

I mean in my case they were just aggressively misreading what I said because they already didn't like me, and specifically added the 'homophobia' tag so that it looks bad in the modlog.
I have plenty of empathy, it's why I found your original statement off-putting.
Your edited part of your comment is probably why you got removed:

it was cool and good that luigi shot that insurance executive; I'd like to see more of that and less military adventurism.
If you're such a good drone pilot maybe start using those skills on insurance executives if you want to impress me.
Funny story; I was banned for complaining about a misogynistic post title a mod had posted. I even complained about that here
For the record I'm trans and gay, I was complaining about people being called 'cumrags' (derogatory) in a post title.
I mean you were the one complaining about POLITICS coming up in discussion of your military recruitment fantasy; can't think of a more robotic response tbh
ooo freelance hall monitor
I regret to inform you that being pressed into military service is political. Operating drones in a military context generally involves killing people and politics.
a small part of you fantasizes about being a really talented and obedient imperial conscript?
My fantasy in that situation would be surprising everyone with how well I can frag officers and start laundry room fires
Hope this post isn’t too shambolic for c/slop.
nah this is perfect lol

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

Account purged on quokk.au for 'brigading' due to linking to a YPTB post about their moderation
(lemmy.ml)
Round 2, this is a follow-up to this post
1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
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 
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.
