surprisingly large number of Zionist German anarchists, which is a legitimate criticism imo. I don’t see how any anarchist can legitimately square that circle.
It can't. If it's common I'll back off on that one. It's absolutely a circle that cannot be squared as an authoritarian regime on stolen land dehumanizing and de-indigenizing levantine people by claiming they are arabian is unacceptable.
Are you referring to the reaction meme in the comments? Are you really arguing that a random laser-eyes meme comment (not post) is evidence of a pro-authoritarian bias in the community? Can I ask, is it the fact it’s someone attacking a liberal for selling the idea the Dems will ever move left (they won’t), or is it just the silly meme image that you feel is problematic? I mean a robotic laser-eyes Kim is clearly not meant to be taken seriously. Maybe I’m just too chill nowadays but it seems pretty harmless to me, as far as these things go.
Look through that user's comments. Being pro-NK is in this comment is not an isolated incident. I disagree with the comment they're replying to as well, but that is WILDLY overcorrecting and normalizing a system of authority that amounts to monarchy. If you really don't see it, I don't know what to say as that's pretty shocking. It's like saying the nazis on 4chan aren't serious and are just posting for the lulz up until their terrorism took to the streets in 2014 when suddenly it all became WAY to real. If you're really chill with that, so be it, and continue on your way but I don't want to participate in a discussion forum where that manner of behavior is treated as fine as it de-legitimizes efforts to oppose authority.
That last one I had previously reported before it was fully downvoted. That you aren't seeing these things when they're being reported and that they're being left up is DEEPLY concerning to me. It seems like you're taking a hands off approach to a community that people have noticed they can post their auth-comm propaganda to with at least relative impunity. @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com even said they're getting concerned with this after he was specifically name dropped as being over-reacting AND was accused of "crashing out" which... either @alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com doesn't know what that term means in AAVE or it means something different in her understood dialect of English from German, but it is WILDLY inappropriate to say @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com started this fight.
Look. My overall conclusion is if y'all wanna moderate your comm how you want, that's fine. I've had it blocked for about a week because I don't need the energy of authority clogging up my feed when I come home and try to decompress from a day of organizing my community and training people on ICE alerting signals. !mop@quokk.au and !memes@slrpnk.net are much more my speed. All I wanted to say is that @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com isn't coming out of nowhere and the way the moderators of a community treat people will impact the tenor and temperature of that community. I've reached a place where I don't want to deal with all this, so I haven't been and I'll continue to won't.
