I don't mean to be paranoid but sometimes I think about who benefits most from conflict and division on the American Left, and whether they have the resources to artificially sow mistrust of reliable news and advance an agenda that benefits Russian interests.
Some of the nutjobs on Lemmy are actively hoping for another four years of Donald. A collapsing America helps China gain territory.
Not sure how they are so dimwitted as to want openly racist fascists heading up such a large nuclear arsenal. But dimwitted as they are, a good portion of the bothsidesing is deliberate.
Best to block .ml and pretend they do not exist
100%. Would be nice if you could block all the users as well as all the posts from an instance.
Unfortunately they not only exist, they also vote.
Blocking them is good for personal mental health but does not in any way solve the problem. It just leaves them to fester inside their own echo chambers.
They're going to fester in their own echo chambers with or without your involvement.
The times these users seem to operate in is suspicious
This seems to be a recurring fear among pro-Biden Democrats.
No real regard for Palestine or pregnant women in Texas or Trans people anywhere, but this absolute terror over Chinese economic influence spreading across East Asia.
It feels like the Dem policy is just "We need Biden to fight more of the correct wars America needs to be in".
And that's what I'm afraid a second Biden term will bring.
We've seen one term of an insurrectionist filling 1/3 of SCOTUS with corrupt and unqualified shitheads. They are already taking away the rights of my neighbors and aiming for more. I know why I am against Donald and it has nothing to do with China.
I'm still struggling to figure out why so-called "leftists" on Lemmy want full authoritarian fascism. When they are telling me any amount of collateral damage is fine as long as large numbers of white Americans get murdered, and their comment history is full of wanking over socialism with Chinese characteristics, that's the conclusion I am going to draw.
Because they crave fascism, but they're too cowardly to admit it out loud.
Don't worry, I'm sure your favorite totalitarian state will be more than happy to let you lick their blood-stained boots. :)
Call Texas totalitarian all you want. I'm just going to keep fighting to make it better.
Whoever it is is probably paying a lot of these people who "care deeply about Palestinians"
