I caught a mod at Late Stage Capitalism admitting they aren't from the US, so they deleted all my posts and banned me.

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:

    1. This is evidence? I can't understand how this user 'admits' whatever you are claiming.

    2. As far I have read, the community info doesn't mention anything about being US only or US centric.

    3. 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.

    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.

    Previously:

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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 Communist

    Then they came for the Socialists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist

    Then they came for the trade unionists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a trade unionist

    Then they came for the Jews
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Jew

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me

    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.
