The power trip / ban doesn't bother me, but the misinformation does. They present as leftist, but flare up around US elections discouraging voter turnout via 'bOtH siDeS' garbage. that only ever elevates shit like MAGA.

In the linked thread, OP promotes rioting while discouraging voter turnout. My comments agreed with activism like riots, but pointed out that it's not an either-or thing. You can riot -and- vote; and even if you don't have it in you to riot, still do vote.

Banned.

You can see my removed comment quoted in the post after mine.

This 'blue MAGA' tankie shit is somehow worse than the loud-and-clear MAGA shit over on Reddit - at least those neonazis were honest about who they were.

Anywho, YSK. Spaces like r/conservative were clearly labeled and easy to avoid; LateStageCapitalism@lemmy.world presents as a cause worth rallying around, but only until you peel up the veneer and see that they're the same fucking thing.

Also please vote. In addition to whatever flavor of activism tickles your fancy.

Well maybe if you weren't being a liberal I wouldn't have to call you a liberal 😑

    shitlibs

    It's like you're a masochist who gets off destroying their credibility in an argument.

    Why exactly does the word "shitlib" invalidate my credibility? I made my opposition to liberal capitalism explicit at every step of my output on the Fediverse.

    You must not be very smart if you can't tell the difference between disagreeing with something and destroying your own credibility by using derogatory terms in regards to it.

    Get yourself back in school. It'll do wonders for you.

    Okay but what about the word "shitlibs" do you have a problem with?

    Like I am openly an anarcho-communist. I openly oppose liberalism, as it is the umbrella of philosophies that capitalists used to justify their hierarchical and authoritarian practices.

    I will ask once again: what about the word "shitlibs" do you have a problem with?

    If you're actually a leftist, then certainly you should have no issues with a fellow leftist using a pejorative term for liberals to describe liberals, right? Because as a leftist, you are not a liberal, since liberals do not oppose capitalism, and you are likely frustrated with how liberal monoculture dominates all political discussions, right? And it's not as if "shitlib" is a term of bigotry. Like I'm just taking the self-identified label of one faction of the capitalist enemy and adding the word "shit" to it.
