Some Zionist has to be scraping through that subreddit right now reporting everything possible. I didn’t even mention Hamas or explicitly support doing ANYTHING. The idea that a Palestinian person might not be ok with what israel is doing was apparently too much for the DSA subreddit lmao

After WPT went down and all those subs got a temp ooopsie ban, I’m sure there’s pressure coming from the admins on mods to ban anyone remotely critical of imperialism and the Western oligarchy.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 32 points 6 days ago (2 children)

that would explain reddit; but i'm wondering why lemmy instances are doing the same thing.

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 45 points 6 days ago

Aside from us and lemmygrad, Lemmy is dominated by chuds and blue MAGA racists, that's been the case since the minor Redditor exodus during the summer of 2023

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

you can take the redditor out of reddit but not brainworms out the redditor.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 13 points 6 days ago

i wish i those brainworms left my head when i left reddit. lol

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I actually do not know what you are talking about. Can you explain?

For more context on this drama, 5 employees of Elon Musk that are said to be accessing the Treasury payments system were named with a few prominent posts that called to get them out of government. These posts (in WhitePeopleTwitter and other subreddits) attracted a lot of comments suggesting violent action against them.

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah you should definitely type out White People Twitter subreddit because I have never heard of that in my life and I definitely can’t be the only one.

I also had no idea any of this was happening. What happened to freeze-peach ????

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

It was just a subreddit that was screenshots of tweets. Basically the same as /r/BlackPeopleTwitter but everyone admits that they're cracker

Both of them would appear in /r/popular and /r/all a lot so many people see that stuff on Reddit's "front page"

A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.

DSA is a racist org, no shock their subreddit follows along

[–] ThereRisesARedStar@hexbear.net 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You could post that on the DSA internal forums no problem. Is the subreddit a dsa official platform?

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago

As of 2020, it doesn't seem like it

The Red Republicans just launched & Class Unity only seems to produce articles for their website (and apparently control r/DSA too).

I added it in there to not be presumptuous since the plight of Palestinian comrades is something that would be unfathomable to me personally, and I would completely understand whether somebody chose to or chose not to take direct action out of imminent risk to their lives. Of course I would condone anybody taking any direct action against the Zionist entity.

The comment I was originally replying to was saying something about DSA members being a problem for condoning terrorism or something which is why I used that language

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The response you got from an Afghanistan vet was

Exactly this. So many people have an opinion on it when they shouldn't. [...]

so, that's who "I do not condemn or condone the actions that any Palestinian takes against Israel" resonates with

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

I don’t think my comment they are replying to was really that unclear about where I stand. Focusing on that small section is mincing my words to mean something that they clearly dont

When I was in Seattle DSA the first response to this would have legitimately been - 'but what about the working class Israelis? We have to build that coalition too' - obsessed with class with no intersectionality whatsoever.

Social imperialists continue not to beat the social imperialist accusations.

[–] TheGenderWitch@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

nah this is just straight up imperialism

[–] Firstnamebunchofnumbers@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I was banned for saying the only good israeli is a dead israeli

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 1 points 6 days ago

i was banned from twitter for saying israel should be wiped off the map

[–] TheGenderWitch@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

Luckily this sub isn't associated with the org for some reason

Its a prime spot for infiltration because its so decentralized that you cant enforce liberalism. If marxists take control and change the org it could become very powerful.

but DSA is also pretty shit so lol
