Oh oh and a bonus one, apparently the supposed "slave labor in Xinjiang" is being used for cars now lmao
If it isn't the biggest harassment campaign on the internet, then it's at least one of them
My thought about the person herself is that while she's a pretty garbage person, it's very clearly a result of the world around her treating her like shit on every level for basically her entire life, she grew up in a horrifically abusive right-wing household just to end up in constant attack by the worst people the internet's had to offer, with those people shaping every aspect of her "growth" from that point forward, to the point of the 4chan harassers even going so far as to give her multiple fake friends and people trying to "help" her just to end up being part of the harassment campaign so that she can't even know who she can trust even among people she knows IRL
Just a shitshow on every level and it's undeniable that she's a massive victim here even if she hasn't exactly been a good person herself (but again, that's largely because of how she's been a victim the whole time)
(I think CWC still uses she/her? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's been absolutely ages since I last checked for obvious reasons, I don't like looking into this stuff lol)
I have to be honest comrade, when the events that are going on are "a trans person is being harassed by one of the biggest bigoted serial harassers in the community for enforcing basic code of conduct rules", I think this kind of comment is unnecessary at best and harmful at worst, this is not a "both sides" issue by any means
This person you showed isn't even the freedesktop member responsible for the decision
Edit: To clarify, this isn't a "liberals vs alt-right" two-sided conflict, this is a "Nazis attacking vulnerable minorities" one-sided conflict, if this kind of behavior from Vaxry is tolerated and allowed then that puts all such people in the community at risk, including people like us
nearly every western politician ~~was~~ is a virulent homophobe and transphobe well into the ~~1990s~~ 2020s.
Fixed that for you ๐
But yeah, liberals (even so-called leftists) very much like to pretend that western countries weren't even worse about this
"I'm as left as they come", I love how they always say that word for word with zero self awareness
I like how this is a fuckcars post and yet that part's basically a footnote in this post about weed and sex work lmao
God I wish we could get halfway decent urban planning in North America though, fuck the automotive industry that created this nightmare
Finally, they'll leave us alone instead of shitting up our threads lol
Welp, just blocked another person I thought was cool over on Mastodon because they were boosting concern trolling about "Israeli civilians"
Just a reminder that if you're a western "leftist" and you're suddenly against Palestine now that they're fighting back, you're literally less radical than a lot of libs lol
users quickly finding out that reports aren't anonymous here lol
The idea that it was only Ukraine who suffered from those famines is one of those ideas that just genuinely confuses me, like, how does one even get there? How much info do you have to go out of your way to avoid in order to not know that other parts of the USSR were affected by it too?
Then again, I suppose if your "info" is entirely sourced from literal Nazi propaganda, then it's not all that surprising
Also I wish Omni-Man was like Stalin instead of a space fascist lol
It's why it's really funny that there's a decent amount of libs trying to pretend that Lemmy (either .ml or as a whole) is this super "tankie" thing when they're really the opposite
Like, if the rest of the Lemmy universe was "tankie" we wouldn't need Lemmygrad in the first place
We're literally Canadian and yet my brother was just in here trying to sing the praises of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to me, I was trying really hard to not tell him to fuck right off
The fact that he's expecting me to be happy about people who are pro-genocide because of some token "progressive" promises (that probably won't even mean anything once elected) is infuriating, especially when those promises don't even affect us in particular
