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.

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

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 45 points 4 months 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

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

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 13 points 4 months ago

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

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

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 39 points 4 months ago

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

[–] ThereRisesARedStar@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months 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 4 months 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 4 months 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

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

[–] D0ctorPhi1@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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 4 months ago

nah this is just straight up imperialism

[–] TheGenderWitch@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months 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

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

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago
