Banned by corrupt mods at Political Memes for being anti-fascist (lemmy.world)

I want to make this VERY clear. I am extremely progressive, way far left. Kamala Harris is the only sane choice, I'm voting for her. BUT we still have to try and get her to change bad policies like her promise to continue funding genocide. Apparently, that way of thinking will get you kicked out of certain echo chambers ran by corrupt mods like WrenFeathers and JonsJava. The first comment was in response to someone praising Biden like he doesn't also have Palestinian blood on his hands. And I apparently always have to reiterate that Dildo Tramp is 1000x worse and might actually kill us all by accident or on purpose.

Also, before you blocked me, you replied to my comment in a DM, as you had been banned ( I was still trying to figure out why you'd been banned at that point)

With respect, those words aren’t violating any rules. And if they get added to any rules that we can’t use those words, then that is extremely fascist by definition. Either way, I want nothing to do with your buddy. And the fact that this is even a thing that needs to be reviewed is part of the “crushing any voice of dissent against Isreal and their supporters”. I’m out

I tried responding that I was investigating, and that yes, calling dissenters fascists is bring uncivil. People don't become fascist because you call them that. Your attacks are reminiscent of Linkerbaan, who would call everybody that they disagreed with either a fascist or a Zionist. That's a bullshit insult.

First off, I didn't call anybody a fascist directly. Secondly the fact that you deem it uncivilized to call out fascism is a major problem. Mod abuse is also mods using the "be civil" rule to ban people according to their own personal agenda. You may not agree with me, but it's not grounds for censorship and banning. Public forums are for free exchange of ideas, not banning people for using words you don't like, especially when it's not even profanity. (Not that profanity should be censored either)

If you don't want people calling others fascists, then put it explicity in the rules so everyone can see you have a problem with that, and what it implies having that as a rule.

When do you think it's ok to call people fascist or zionist, if not when the people referenced are directly tied to fascism and zionism? Rhetorical.

When they are a fascist or Zionist.

Biden gave the terrorist state of Isreal $18 Billion in American tax dollars this year alone. That's $13 Billion more in a year than the average of $5billion per year to zionist terrorists for the last 75 years. (Including Trump administration) Both sides are just different degrees of evil. One is more quiet about it, the other is overt. That is what the monopolized 2 party system is for. To keep the same 2 evil groups in power indefinitely, while giving The People an illusion of choice. Both are owned by the same corporate interests and mega-rich. The sooner people realize this, the sooner we can take real action that will make a lasting impact. There is no fixing this grossly corrupt, broken system from the inside and repeating the same bullshit every 4 years. Edit: to be clear, you should still vote Harris because it's the lesser evil option in this fucked up circus. But denying reality makes you just as bad as air-headed trumpets. Both sides are owned by the same corporate interests and mega-rich, and we need to abolish this 2 party system, not make-up fantasies that one side is actually good. The downvoters are either Trump supporters and/or fascist. True leftists don't downvote facts. One thing is for certain in this sub, there are fascists masquerading as leftists. Those who don't know may want to look up "controlled opposition". Denial of facts is for right wingers and the rest of the fascists. We progressives don't do that. Nobody is debating the fact that Trump is 1000x worse and he also has and will keep funding isreal if elected again. That's how you can tell fascists and genocide deniers/appologists are the downvoters here. Here to downvote the truth and voices of dissent. The lack of support from fellow progressives on what should be resounding support shows how groupthink downvoting works to suppress voices of dissent. AGAIN, I'm voting for Harris, but we have to keep protesting and pressuring her to change bad policies, like the promise to continue funding genocide. Trump was never an option. 3rd party is same as voting for Trump. Go fuck yourselves and have a nice day.

If you think I edited this comment, feel free to look at the original in the mod logs

This was my only issue, and again, I feel that a warning would have sufficed. Keep downvoting my comments, ~~but that won't make you less toxic~~.

EDIT: struck through the part where I vented. That wasn't right.

0 rules broken. There's no "gotcha".

I didn't downvote your last one, but whatever.

You want to talk about toxic to a guy who had his account banned from the community, then the entire .world instance specifically for sharing their views that a corrupt mod didn't like, who then abused their power?

No offence, but I don't see you trying to make things right. Not that I want to deal with the corruption of Political Memes and .world anymore, anyways, but it's the principal that matters. Ciao
