I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.

    Something about .ml and MLs in general is that they really just aren’t that large a group. If we want larger communities, Reddit is still much bigger than Lemmy. If we want a flawed ally in politics, progressive liberals outnumber Leninists and are far less likely to deliberately betray us. (That’s why MLs always equate Liberalism with fascism; if people can ally with Liberals MLs have basically nothing they can bring to a coalition, and so they can’t seize power.)

      Unless you are a diehard right-winger, Liberals will always be more likely to betray you than anyone on the left. The causality is backwards here, liberals will always side with fascists over the left, thus they are identified as moderate-fascists. Just like how the Democrats want nothing more than to just be polite Republicans.

      Famously loyal and trustworthy liberals will never deliberately betray you lmao. Just hope they never find out if you have to break a law the fascists draw up to protect yourself or others 🚔🚔🚔

      And hope that you’re not part of whichever group they’re throwing under the bus to appease the fascists either.

        Liberals are trustworthy in the sense that whatever progressive policies they are capable of enacting will be done so with the assurance that grandma’s access to medication will not be impeded.

        Communists are trustworthy in the sense that they absolutely intend to burn everything down to reshape the world in their image, and no sacrifice made in accomplishing that is too great.

        Kind of obvious why people support a coalition with liberals more, huh?

      Who are ‘you’ in this equation? A boat dealership owner?

          Never leave your mind palace. You’re the smartest person alive. You can write political theory completely on your own without ever looking out at the outside world just in your own head. It’s always perfect. You never have to define terms. You never have to explain mechanisms. And don’t you dare ever expose it to danger. Stay pithy my friend.
