When we say liberals are do nothings and blame you guys in part for the things your country does, this is what we are talking about. The right wing citizenry in your country actively does shit to push their political agenda constantly. Meanwhile you guys just argue about the validity of “vote blue no matter who” on the internet and stick up for democratic politicians who are themselves, at best, doing absolutely fuck all.
Because those of us who lean left and want to bring the fight to the spineless right are silenced on Lemmy unless these topics come up on servers that don't remove right wing rhetoric from the left. The problem is that the bulk of moderation understands that the right will talk the talk but rarely walk the walk so they get away with it. But when the left gets upset they only complain about procedure and all the laws that the right ignores so if violence comes up it gets silenced.
The venues are the problem. Having moderators like Jordan Lund helping the right by silencing the left is why. The world is unjust as a baseline. The left has to work so much against the current because they have to work against the right AND the neoliberal left.
Believe me, I wish the right would be scared of what kind of rhetoric they are engendering from their opponents but we simply aren't allowed without committing actual violence. And then the rhetoric becomes threats and silenced. That's why the right just trolls and makes spineless threats - they don't act on them so they get away with it.
ugh. jordan lund is the absolute worst. the fact that his profile pic had a chaotic good t shirt is beyond a slap in the face. we need the addresses of everyone who tries to obstruct.
