I was added as a mod to a community by surprise a while back - Lenovo. I don’t actually know much about Lenovo. It seems like the system should ask for your confirmation - people could be added to subs they don’t want to be associated with.

I’d assume he’s just stalking people to expose air assault them. Maybe he is the self-loathing gay conservative stereotype, who knows. Kind of scary… wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up harming someone out of his confused ball of emotions, shame and violent tendencies.

"Mormon therapist" is a red flag for sure. And uh, mixed orientation marriages? uh...

No matter what happens, they have to invent some stupid shit. Would be nice if these deranged people got an education and something better to do with their collective time. it’s also like playing poker with some coked up asshole who accuses you of cheating even when you lose.

Hates food, hates sex. What does this twisted ball of insecurity like these days? Oh, prison. No wonder he isn't liking food lately.

Republicans were gigantic pieces of shit long before Trump.

The National Review is generally complete and total horseshit, being Republican propaganda. You'd have to be a complete moron to believe their claims.

zeppo , 9 days ago

It's their tone, attitude, and exclusions, like other conservative propaganda.

Give each county one vote regardless of population? Classic anti-democracy Republican bullshit.

I sure do hate his pouty constipated toddler mug shot. Amazing that there are people in the country stupid enough to buy that on a T-shirt.

Anyway, something will happen to this deranged moron now, right? Or does he just appeal it and keep whining?

Palestine seems like 60% of what I hear about in national news and on Lemmy. Ukraine, though, no so much. People can't use it to talk shit about Biden, after all.

JOR BIDEN GENERCIDEs SO I VOET 3rd Party BRO IM COMMUNISM

zeppo , 20 days ago

You could just ask me, I guess. Am I belittling genocide opposition? No. What I am opposed to is blaming the entire thing on Biden, as if 95% of the rest of the political establishment isn't involved and wouldn't have done the same things or worse. "Genocide Joe" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. People seem totally ready to throw this election to trump, who has made it clear he would be even worse about Palestine, over this single issue, which would fuck over the US in an almost incalculable way. And then, it sure is odd how people who consider themselves leftists or communists spend huge amounts of time and energy bashing Biden and Democrats and NEVER express any concerns about Republicans or Trump. It makes absolutely no sense given that Democratic administrations are much better on issues they claim to care about - clean energy, unions, environmental regulations, women's rights, appointing reasonable people to courts, and so on.

Biden hasn’t been selling weapons he knows will be used for genocide for the past several decades.

The US just started supporting Israel with weapons and finances? Huh, I could have sworn that's been going on for at least 50 years.

zeppo , 20 days ago (edited 20 days ago)

I'm not really clear why. Biden has ran a competent administration and it's been like night and day compared to the chaotic horror of the trump admin. Of course, Biden should absolutely be pressured to change policy on Israel. AIPAC is a very powerful force in US politics, however. This is likely to be a close election and talking endless shit about Biden and encouraging people from voting or encouraging them to vote 3rd party absolutely is a gift to Trump. Netanyahu would love for Trump to be elected, as would Putin. It would be a greenlight for them to be even worse in their respective wars. Denigrating Biden and eroding his support will not solve anything for Palestine, and will totally screw Ukraine and Americans.

Quite obviously, I oppose genocide, and the Palestinians have deserved much better for years. Throwing this election over that issue makes absolutely no sense, though.

zeppo , 19 days ago

So, you've intentionally or not missed the point that Biden does not make all the decisions for the US. He's in a difficult position especially with Congress and Republicans overwhelmingly supporting Israel.

And you haven’t heard it from me. I don’t call him that.

That's fine. I'm not only discussing you. I'm discussing "leftist bro" people who can't stop talking shit about Biden constantly and don't seem concerned at all about Republican plans for Trump and the country. If that's you, then okay.

And any criticism of Biden is support for Trump.

Excessive, unfair and pointless criticism helps Trump, yes. Do Trump and Republicans deserve any crticism? Well, no way, I'll just talk shit about Biden endlessly.

Griping about Biden enabling genocide on a small fledgling platform inhabited almost entirely by centrists who just want his critics to shut up isn’t going to throw anything.

So, it's interesting how "so leftist bro" people come to places where people are likely to vote for Biden and try to erode his support. Guess who that would help?

You should be fucking livid that Biden is enabling genocide

How old are you? Israel has been doing this forever, with full US support. It's been going on for decades before I was born. Were you livid when the French and British set up the whole thing in the 40s?

Sounds like a justification for never, ever stopping.

not in anyway whatsoever is that " justification for never, ever stopping". It's pointing out that "OMG JOR BIDEN" is just a clueless thing to be fixating on. Again, as if Biden makes all the decisions for the entire country by himself. This was going on for decades before Biden was in power.

BuT nO OnE hErE sUpPoRtS gEnOcIdE.

That's correct, nobody here support genocide. If you want to help Trump be in charge of Palestinian, Ukrainian, LGBT and central American genocides, keep it up.

zeppo , 19 days ago

That would be great, i agree we should! But blaming it all on Biden and discouraging people from voting for him is not going to achieve that.

zeppo , 19 days ago

The only way that could possibly effective is if it was paired with comprehensive voting reform in every state (well, every state that matters).

A third party cannot win with the current first-past-the-post system. It's so obvious that I can't imagine why it would need to be explained. Have a good leftist candidate, it'll take votes from the liberal. Popular conservative alt candidate, will take votes from the Republican. With our current roughly 50/50 balance, either one could result in the candidate with less support for their ideology winning. That's how you end up with something like (theoretically) 25% Stein, 35% Biden, 40% Trump, and Trump wins because he had the plurality. Great.

zeppo , 19 days ago

That doesn't mean it works well in those countries. Plus, there are other differences to how their governments are structured.

zeppo , 18 days ago

Voting in primaries for people who support it would help. In general elections, how will that help since they can't get elected?

zeppo , 18 days ago

If EVERYONE who would otherwise vote D voted for them, yes. That's not going to happen, hence the scenario I gave which you quoted. Split the non-conservative vote between two parties, and the conservatives win - how is that going to help?

zeppo , 18 days ago

That's great that you know about concepts like Sunk Cost Fallacy, but not so great that you apply it to something which has absolutely nothing to do with that. Ok, see you in a Republican concentration camp soon! Nice work! You really stamped out GENERCIDE, good job. It was all Joe Biden all along.

zeppo , 17 days ago

It's not worth doing that if it puts Republicans in charge, especially now when they're basically planning on installing a dictator.

zeppo , 17 days ago

It is though. There have been 3rd party conservative spoilers too... it's just that typically, it's a Republican plot to fuck over Democrats.

zeppo , 17 days ago

I appreciate that but it has to be a useful and rational plan that might actually work.

zeppo , 17 days ago

primary centralist losers and try to turn the Ds left.

zeppo , 16 days ago

That’s not great, but the way elections are set up makes a 3rd party vote worse than useless. Better than not voting, but it doesn’t accomplish much.

zeppo , 22 days ago

That’s crazy, PPD did something besides intimidate demonstrators? I had no idea they could do that.

It was a while ago. Apparently they thought their vision was more to be a self contained forum than connected to everyone else and also that it was “safer”.

That’s not at all what the Maher article says. She said she wasn’t coerced, not that they didn’t have sex. It’s also not the point of the trial.

So, someone who doesn't know about Chicago, Detroit, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Denver, Atlanta, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Texas, Boston, New Orleans or Seattle. Alright. If you add those up they're about the population of the UK.

I feel like this got misinterpreted? If I’m not mistaken OP’s point is that reddit is intentionally censoring pro-Palestinian posts and controversy, not that the front page is now more quality.

I highly doubt most of the protestors have anything to do with being funded by outside groups, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the dissent has been sponsored by foreign propaganda/influence efforts. Russia definitely wants Trump to be elected over Biden, and also will do anything they can to cause division here.

Seems pretty unlikely they'd be the only country involved.

I've been using reddit since 2008 and the idea of any conservative bullshit on there would have been really surprising before 2015. Overall though the amount of generic person stupidity has increased in the past few years. Not that all sports fans are like this, but often i get the stupidest reply from someone - like, close minded, blithely cruel about whatever topic - and look at their profile and the ONLY other thing they've commented on is sports.

It's taken me years and reading the explanations a dozen times to figure out what anyone involved even thought it was about.
