There’s a phrase for that: Counterjerking too hard. Judging by the reactions you’re getting from this, seems you’ve done it twice in a row.

Remember, counterjerking is not a principled stance; those who stand for nothing will fall for everything.

Remember to report problem content even if you get banned for it. The reports go to all relevant parties; the mods of the community, (who are going to be in bad faith and will likely laugh at your report) but more importantly the admins of both your and their instance. If the home instance does nothing it will signal to your instance that the admins are supporting that kind of behavior which can kick off diplomacy efforts.

The threat of defederation keeps instances accountable, as even a bad faith instance wants to retain their audience.

Average PlayStation user, tbh.

You either vote for the polite fascist or you vote for the rude fascist

I’m starting to understand why people on the left hate literals so much. I am going to fucking scream.

Democrats provided the precision munitions that caused this atrocity.

Mastodon is basically just a bunch of guilty liberals who feel bad that their baby had became a nazi, but are not willing to take the steps necessary to grow from there. Lemmy comes from redditors who saw the platform as always being full of overt displays of nazism and thus were able to appropriately grow from the experience and free themselves from its influence.

When you look back at your reddit days you are ashamed, because you now know why it was wrong. When mastodon users look back at twitter they reminisce with fondness of their times hanging out with war criminals and retweeting right wing sources that agreed with them.

How the USA Inspired the Nazis - From Manifest Destiny to Lebensraum

The only valid reason to vote for the democrats at this point is to spite the republicans. That’s it.

Withhold your vote or you’re complicit in genocide.

Why don’t you move to South Korea if you love capitalism so much. I heard quality of life there is through the roof.

Seems to be a recurring theme among people the US empire refers as “heroes”

Nationalize that shit.

Those NFT losers had a similar idea, and while it may have burned their eyes and skin it’s probably the closest they’ve ever come to a shower.

Turns out he uses a different accent in each of his ad videos.

Politicians do this too. I will never not laugh at Hillary Clinton doing a southern accent or Putin popping a gasket trying to speak English.

A racist, a transphobe and an antisemite walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says “aren’t you that girl who wrote harry potter??”

NATO is still collaborating with Nazis to this day. You can’t see a single picture from Ukraine that doesn’t have a Nazi patch and Canada recently gave a standing ovation for a “Ukrainian war hero” who, uh oh, was a general for the waffen SS. I mean, what do you expect from an institution literally started by a Nazi? The fact that people still choose not to see it leads me to the most regrettable of conclusions.

Obviously not, i’m talking about the people there who were using the leftist environment to shield their actual antisemitism. That shit’s been since wiped off the platform but that wasn’t the case back when I was there.

You know the kind. The ones who would call them “Jews” rather than “Zionists” where if it was posted on reddit nobody would have trouble seeing the antisemitism for what it was but because it was hexbear it obfuscated their actual intentions. Outright antisemitism would get punished pretty hard which is why it’s a soft aura, since it just kinda hung around in the background seeing how much it could get away with. The mods/admins tendency to just ban people who went against the grain resulted in that shit being passively protected for years until the federation forced them to be at least somewhat accountable where blatantly silencing criticism wasn’t going to fly anymore.

Your gaslighting tactics aren’t going to work here.

You’re on itjustworks, you’re not a leftist, you’re a social fascist.

Not to mention that before federating, hexbear always had a soft aura of antisemitism floating around it. They’ve cleared house of it since but I remember wondering why they were so disproportionally vitriolic about Trotsky until I learned he was Jewish, then it all started to click.

Honestly I wouldn’t even be remotely surprised if I found out in a couple decades that website was run as controlled opposition. Feels like everything there is designed to either placate or turn people away from communism rather than push them towards understanding it. Compare it to Lemmygrad where they’ll reach a hand out to help reactionaries be less reactionary but on hexbear they just post a picture of a pig shitting on its balls and hurl harassing comments their way as if that’s somehow going to make them any less anticommunist. (and as a fine bonus, all those comments boosts their reactionary bullshit to the top of the federation for everyone to see)

British. Immediately discarded.
