the people in that demographic seek fiscal policies that protect their wealth and they’re not voting liberal to get it.

the fediverse already handles power tripping mods & admins well by keeping the discourse alive no matter what they do and it’s all by design

when a power tripper tries to ban/block/defederate the nature of the fediverse makes it so that the power tripper is only removing themselves from the main group chat that everyone else can see.

it’s also helps frustrate self selecting users with moderate views. when you fully embrace the lemmyverse in its intended tankie spirit; you end up with an entire spectrum of activity levels with tons of nice content that can rival reddit and power tripping moderators/admins don’t matter at all since you can simply go onto any other instance to keep participating in the discourse; but when your world views are so rigid that it forces you to self sort into into echo chamber instances; then power tripping mods are a big problem and a sea of endless inactive duplicates is all you get.

in the fediverse; blocklists only serves to remove you from the group chat that everyone else can see.

i’m too autistic to care about other people’s feelings when i share my political opinions and my post history is littered with it especially since my life has also been heavily impacted by clinton enacting don’t ask don’t tell; biden extolling executive order 10450; clinton, bush jr, obama, trump and biden’s immigration policies; the country’s student loan debt situation created by biden’s student loan act; biden using the inflation reduction action to block truly affordable EV’s; and biden banning tiktok.

i’ll save you the trouble of going through my post history and give you a tldr: both clintons & biden are shit stains in this country’s political history and have fucked me over much more than trump could ever fantasize about; even with project 2025. i also wish kamala was better so that i could vote for her, but she’s seems hellbent on make sure that i don’t; so i’m 99% sure i’ll end up voting for the green party again as i have done in the past 12 years, but this time around i’m deeply touched that nearly all of the people who know and care about me will be doing something similar thanks to my proselytizing.

a doma enabled deportation of my life partner 12 years ago.

it was a life altering event that turned me from a liberal into a leftist.

this one might be more fun

Some observers said Kim, who is about 170 centimeters (5 feet, 8 inches) tall and previously weighed 140 kilograms (308 pounds), appeared to have lost a large amount of weight in 2021, likely from changing his diet. But recent state media footage show he has regained the weight.

seeing him on tv and news article photos made me think that i was significantly fatter than kim; but it’s all in photography, apparently.

– again

they’ll still find some other excuse not to do anything the next time around.

they’re called the “radical muslim groups” in the article; along the same vein that people protesting the genocide are “antisemitic”

preemptively striking at groups from both the left the right at the same time; biden should take notes.

tankies created lemmy to share with all leftists and it started moving to the right in the last wave of reddit changes.
