As a mod, I've seen this too much.
Not saying all, but many green party people advocating for Harris' defeat. As much as they may hope, Jill Stein was never a viable option, so who were they rallying for?
Those are the same people I never heard advocate for green party at local, county, state, or other federal office positions.
A few - like 3-5 people - were militant enough, I can believe it COULD be (not saying it was) a leftist.
If someone is only active in rabble rousing and not in supporting any affirmative ideas or actions around solutions to problems, then I tend to have a bit of suspicion that we're simply dealing with a rabble rouser, and not someone interested in any actual improvements. It doesn't really matter, to a rabble rouser, what the rousing is towards, since chaos is the goal. Any nebulous direction works, so long as the push is towards chaos.
If your goal is to watch the world burn, you do need an excuse for that. You can't just be like "well, I like the idea of collapse, suffering and death. don't you? c'mon, it'll be fun."
Most leftists have actual policy discussions, proposals, specifics that they'd like to see implemented. They'll actually applaud movement in a positive direction. Not all, though.
You said it better than I ever could
This is going to be a "no true Scotsman" statement, but when a "leftist" loves authoritarianism so much that they find themselves advocating and cheering for the furthest right of the only two possible outcomes, I disagree that they are leftists. Especially so when they are also huge fans of state capitalist nations that produce hundreds of billionaires.
Hit us up with some links!
Just check mod logs for "genocide". Many are those people
Yeah this is definitely coming from the people who say voting doesn't matter if you support the uniparty of war, and not the Alex Jones supporters who think mail-in ballots are a vector for fraud.
Being a mod definitely hasn't poisoned your brain, and is a very legitimate qualification.
Personal attack. Guess you haven't read the rules. I'm not removing this, but other mods may.
It does make me more qualified. As a mod, I see some shit. Things you don't have to.
So- to summarize:
According to you, the mods in /News are “crybabies and only want to see things they agree with” while you simultaneously support the idea that not voting- or throwing away votes on third party spoilers and shills will somehow bring about the changes you’d like to see?
And to add to this, your comment history is FULL of verbal temper tantrums and pseudo-intellectual nonsense directed at anyone and anything outside of your little bubble.
From my perspective, you have zero room in there to be casting aspersions at others.
He's a lemmy.ml account. probably a 15 year old who's just learned about politics. Lemmy seems to be full of them.
Yeah. The closer we get to the election, the more of them are coming here with their smug ill-informed rhetoric.
Definitely a 15 year old who just discovered world politics in the last year or so.
Just passing by, but this "bombing children" talk coming from the person who legitimately thinks Ukrainians are Nazis? Hilariously transparent bait.
Rather than talk about history you won't read or show you myriad examples of things like Ukrainians bombing concerts, here are screenshots of Maxim Zhorin executing Ukrainian school teachers in cold blood before editing it 30 minutes later to claim the video was taken by Russians. The full video the soldiers have Ukrainian arm bands. There is a clumsily edited version that circulated later but the Ukrainian armband is still visible beneath in it. There are hundreds of videos of Ukrainian Nazi marches, the video of them burning down the Odessa trade union building is in full on youtube unedited, every day it seems a western paper prints a picture of a Ukrainian fighter with a patch referencing an obscure branch of the SS. You have seen it, you just want to pretend.
Oh I wouldn’t bother myself to pore over a single word of your nonsense. And trust me when I say, it’s not at all because it’s “fire.”
It’s simply because it’s straight nonsense.
And the fact that you come here accusing people of crying while you have shown to be capable little else yourself, only serves to illustrate how little I or anyone else should do anything more than shine a white-hot light on your little temper tantrums so that others may better see you for what you truly are.
Wren you already said you were stalking my profile, that doesn't jive with "not a single word of [my] nonsense", you have a very whimsical train of thought, you little rogue.
Okay. This has gotten incredibly boring. You clearly have a need to have the last word and I’ve said what I felt needed to be said, and have nothing left to say. So go on then!
have at it!
The stage is lit for both you and your straight fire!

See, you can't help yourself even after loudly declaring you're definitely not reading my posts and you're all finished. You have to imply that hypothetically you could refute what I am saying. But you are on a level aware you are empty and know you have nothing at all. Zionism, Judeo-Bolshevik theory and Sinophobic ideology are the predominant antisemitic currents in the present day. You are the same as Trump, you just compete with his supporters to be the most foolish and annoying people alive.
Go ahead, admit you think Russia paid the "third party shills" to do this.
As a rule, I never admit anything that someone I have zero respect for asks me to.
Not respecting you isn’t vacuous psychology. It’s just… I don’t respect you.
A word of advice though…. the pseudo-intellectual catch phrases? They’re not helping you as much as you think they are.
Yet here you are. Complaining.
I'm jeering at you for being proud of being an internet moderator, you are whining about how I failed to read rules that don't truly exist, try to keep up. You were getting it just a minute ago.
Aww. You think you matter to me. I'll forget you in a couple minutes. You'll still be mad.
Are you doing your best jilted lover impression? Seems a bit off the rails to me.
