Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
No brocialism/sexism
No ableism
No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
No racism
No trolling
No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Is Trump a fascist to you, and if so why did you help him get elected? Do you think when you censor other people online and berate them, especially when they want progressive policies and peace, that it somehow helps you?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Please explain exactly how I helped Trump get elected. Specifically what did I do?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, you’re referring to being butthurt because some of your posts got deleted which means fascism. Which is such a privileged position that I am honestly astounded.

Again, I ask...

Do you think when you censor other people online and berate them, especially when they want progressive policies and peace, that it somehow helps you?

You indicate that Trumpism is fascism. The concept of attacking people that help you because they're not blindly loyal is one of the elements of fascism in the link you posted, and one of the reasons Kamala lost. Are you saying you never did that? That you welcomed third parties and showed them that you were willing to push for Kamala to change her positions up until the election?

Are you saying you never did that?

You tell me. You are the one pointing the finger. Show your evidence. Or was it a lie?

That you welcomed third parties and showed them that you were willing to push for Kamala to change her positions up until the election?

Why is that my job? I was not part of her campaign and I am not a member of her party.

Now, let's see your evidence.

Why is that my job? I was not part of her campaign and I am not a member of her party.

Why are you even bothering to respond at all then? Why claim that I'm butthurt that comments were removed and privileged for saying that Democrats also lean towards fascism?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because I don't like liars.

And you have now lied about me too. Why did you lie about me?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I see question marks, not statements about you. Do you need a Wikipedia link that explains question marks?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes. You did use a question mark here.

Is Trump a fascist to you, and if so why did you help him get elected?

That is what is known as one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question

Because you are, within that loaded question, accusing me of helping Trump get elected. Which is a lie.

So I guess this would be lie #3.

If you're not American, and played no role in inorganically trying to elevate Democrats by attacking others for pointing out or diminishing Kamala's alignment with the neocons, genocidal support and pro-establishment messaging, then I'm sorry. My intention isn't to lie about anyone and would be no better than what I want to fight against.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So just being American means I got Trump elected? Really? I got Trump elected by being born somewhere I didn't choose to be born?

Are you American? Does that mean you got Trump elected?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't say that just being American means you got Trump elected. I have been very clear what type of actions helped Trump getting elected, and have apologized if I misjudged some characterization of who you are. There is nothing else for me to say here. I wish you the best.
