But he neither admits nor even actually implies he dies not live in the US.

I'm failing to see how those words imply that they don't live in the US. I think it's an expression that someone from a country could use while talking to someone from the same country.
I have 3 things to say:
-
This is evidence? I can't understand how this user 'admits' whatever you are claiming.
-
As far I have read, the community info doesn't mention anything about being US only or US centric.
-
It is very xenophobic of you to think that a person not from the US must be a propagandist. We are people too. And the US meddled in our affairs first, and is still meddling.
YDM
As I've said elsewhere, it's that he posts exclusively about US politics and pushes a very specific agenda which directly benefits the fascist regime in power.
directly benefits the fascist regime in power
My guy, we’re punching right, and both parties in the FPTP duopoly are right wing. They both serve the capitalist class, and always have. No matter how people in the US vote, the outcome serves capital.
I never tell people not to vote, only that we can’t vote your way out of capitalism.
The US government was never not captured by the bourgeoisie, because the US was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote. BBC: [Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy
The game is rigged. The election cycle’s pomp and circumstance is to divert your energy and attention from the fact that it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
My god, the evil foreigners have opinions on our politics! Who gives a fuck where they're from. You got banned for being a nuisance.
You also forgot the first rule of a united front, it has to be explicitly anti-fascist. Democrats are not anti-fascist, anti-fascists do not support fascist states like Israel. A united front has hard red lines that cannot be crossed DESPITE its ideological hodgepodge. You are only part of the united front so long as you do not cross those lines.
YDI.
You can't talk about LSC without talking about American politics (America is the capitalist hegemon ffs). There isnt another country on the planet that is more representative of late stage capitalism.
Why is the mods location relevant? Are they actively trying to leave the impressiony that they are US based?
PTB anyway
They post almost exclusively US centric political content focused on convincing people that both sides are the same and voting is pointless. IMO, that is malicious in its intent.
So you got banned for peddling libshittery.
Lol. Found one.
You found what, liberal?
tankie? chud? dickhead?
all three!
So you found yourself?
Yeah, I found myself exhausted by the lies tankies chuds and dickheads like you roll out to justify your childish takes
I found myself exhausted
I hope your beloved billionaire class is rewarding you appropriately for your services, then.
keep votin trump then buddy.
Indeed they did
You banned me from latestagecapitalism for being a "liberal troll", which is fucking hilarious if you'd spent any time whatsoever looking at my comment history.
Still, I'm not mad as that's your right as a mod, but it does make me question how itchy your ban hammer trigger finger might be.
The who were you referring to with your meme on a post critiqueing democrats?
Are you referring to the useless Democrats that I criticize non-stop?
From my perspective, it looked like you supported blocking anyone that opposed Democrats. I'm not going to go through a person's history to try to interpret what their comment on a post meant. If I misinterpreted your comment, then I apologize. If I did just let me know
As I said, it's 100% your right as a mod, but it seemed like you went straight for the ban. No communication. Didn't ask what I meant. Just straight for the ban.
I commented what I did because I went through the user's history and found enough evidence to indicate to me that they were being disingenuous. I criticize dems all the time, but I am also suspicious of accounts that tend to discourage people from voting altogether. Those folk, I block and offer no apology for it.
Never once have I discouraged voting, only not voting for the oligarchy.
Mmmm. Maybe there is a miscommunication. I never said or implied that you did. Unless you are SaltyAmerican's alt account, in which case I totally did.
I dont go through people's history, I react to the comments in the moment. I don't known what they've commented and don't care unless it violates the rules.
And in your estimation, because I called out who I thought to be a troll, I broke the rule and deserved a ban and being called a "liberal troll". No warning. No investigation. No communication.
As I said, it's your right. It's just not the way I choose to mod.
Seriously, I'm cool with it. I just saw you in this thread and wanted to call to your attention that you might be a little quick on the draw with the bans. I wasn't looking for anything beyond that.
ydi. how is it relevant where someone lives (unless the comm is only for americans, which it isn't), except to imply that because they aren't american, they can't be trusted? the blight on lemmy world isn't the token socialists being critical of us politics, it's the democrats who can't accept totally legit criticisms of their party, and jump directly to mccarthyism, which helps prove the criticism is valid imo.
that's not the problem, the problem is his distinct and repeated calls for people to not participate in the process - which is a great way to lose elections. do you want more trump? no?
THEN FUCKING VOTE
love all the fucking chuds 'downvoting' literal encouragement for people to vote lol, the irony is hilarious.
Rule 1: do not make calls for elections in anarchist comms.
Yep I just realized I got banned and messages deleted from that guy when I was criticizing people pushing to not vote dem in the upcoming elections... that's why we are stuck with the shit stain trump.
I'm getting so fucking sick of the tankie splitter types that came out to protest mamdani... https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/10/8/800109366/news/far-left-eating-its-own-mamdani/
yeah, .ml users are generally bad faith agitators. you can follow their posts and see the same dishonest arguments happening over and over with every argument they lose in public getting your comments removed.
block .ml subs if you want to stop getting tricked into their “version” of popular communities.
Just a warning, this isn't a campaigning space. We don't allow electoralists to shame people for not voting. Everyone here knows about voting. We are not children who need to be bullied into action by you. Its totally insufferable. You can post about politics in a politics comm.
I would vote if there was a single candidate on my ballot that didn't support genocide.
You know, there's objective data showing how many people died in what administration. And you're telling me less people died under Biden? Do you honestly believe that? Did it feel truthy to you when you said it? Is it your emotional truth? Yes, the genocide is still unfolding. It's been going on for over seven decades. Yes, Republicans are also genocidal. That's one of the few things they're honest about. What does that say about Democrats? Biden repeatedly told debunked blood libel lies against the very people he was enacting genocide against, all from his campaign podium, over and over and over. He said he saw beheaded babies in ovens "with his own eyes". WTF?
Give me a candidate that isn't genocidal and I will vote for them. Otherwise, let Republicans run it all into the ground. America failing is the best option put before me, which is best for all humanity. That's who I care about, not you, not me.
America is out of control and it needs to be stopped somehow. Democracy isn't an option. I wish it was.
Down votes by those denying a genocide occurred during Biden but see it plain as day now
They even think more people died under Trump. The genocide is still happening, and has had for seven decades, but WTF? Absolute disconnect with reality.
Biden repeatedly told debunked blood libel lies about those he was enacting genocide against. He kept saying he saw "beheaded babies" with his "own eyes", over and over and over.
Fuck them all.
I want democracy. I want democracy for us. I want democracy for Ukrainians. I want democracy for Palestinians. I want democracy for the world.
You'll empower genocidal billionaires over other genocidal billionaires, and call it some kind of victory.
Anyone who questions that logic must be a foreign agent.
I've NEVER said dont vote, I've repeatedly said dont vote for POS right wing bourgeois candidates. Which includes democrats and republicans
My problem with GodlessCommie isn't that he's not American. My problem is he is the sole mod of a relatively popular sub and tries to dissuade people from voting and bans anyone that doesn't support his narrative.
He's stupid, and dangerous.
it really upsets me when they try to rewrite history. the molotov ribbentrop pact happened. and how could the soviets have 'single handedly' stopped the nazis without BILLIONS of US aide (that wasn't repaid until 2006!!!) AND the allies opening the western front?
like, fuck, this isn't some controversy, this is history.... so that's my limit, people are entitled to their own interpretations but when you stop acknowledging what happened, nah, fuck off
You intentionally misinterpret don't vote for Democrats or Republicans as don't vote and then try to claim those are our only choices. those are the only chocies that you have locked yourself into
I would say it's at least odd for someone from another country to post exclusively about American politics.
Unfortunately, US politics has a huge impact on other countries. Just ask anyone from Iran, Venezuala, Haiti, Cuba, or Palestine, to name just a few recent examples.
I suppose it could be a coincidence that they behave exactly the way a foreign propagandist attempting to manipulate politics to the detriment of the US would behave. I wouldn't bet on it though.
Strange that the capitalist hegemon at the imperial core is so well represented in a comm about Late Stage Capitalism
I get what you are saying, but that is literally their whole account. Every single post is LSC. A regular person would at least occasionally comment about a cute dog picture or something, you know?
Most normal people I know have instagram or pixelfed accounts for dog pics
There are subs specifically for posting cute pet pics and dog pics exclusively. But that's just an example. He doesn't post about his favorite restaurants, hobbies, family, nothing. It doesn't feel like a regular human interacting with social media.
And how popular are those subs?
Most users on lemmy participate in only a handful of subs. It isnt surprising that some accounts are only active in one or two
Lemmy isn’t Facebook. It’s intentionally pseudonymous. The communist developers created it that way for good reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_security
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a CommunistThen they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a SocialistThen they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionistThen they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a JewThen they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Gee... you "caught" somebody not living in the US?
That must have been quite the eye-opener for you.
Anyone who disagrees with me is a foreign agent sapping and impurifying our precious bodily fluids.

I don't see how that shows the mod is a foreign propagandist.
Every permutation of LSC I've ever seen has been extremely defeatist to the point of coming off as vaguely accelerationist, though. Wouldn't be surprised if that's an intern at the GOP.
