      Thanks for the encouragement!

      You don’t tend to get much of that when dealing with people who can’t tell diametrically opposite ideologies apart and think that makes them the adults in the room 😄

        Some people fail to see that they’ve been actively propagandized their entire lives, and to break with that reality is too hard/painful.

        It’s expected from the republican side, they’re monsters, but the dems used to be a lot better about hiding it lol.

          I’m a social democrat, with communist leanings. Although I think humanity is/should go extinct to save the earths biosphere. Authoritarianism of any kind is bad, nice ad hominem though.

      Great takes. More bitching about the nonfascist of the election while ignoring the tidal wave of disinfo looking to plant a literal russian stooge in the strongest office in the world.

      Bystanders, please consider that lemmy is infilitrated just as other social media is. Those in here trying to pretend this is not a social media site, or that this place hasnt been infected with bad faith actors are more than anything trying to get u to drop ur guard and take their deculturalizing comments to heart without a fight.

      The kgb bragged about infiltrating our social fabric back in the 80s. It doesn’t take much to see them hiding in the shadows here today.

        This is literally not social media, it’s closer to an anonymous message board or forum. This place definitely has bad faith actors, look at this guy trying to call me a KGB agent lmfao.

        Anybody who doesn’t support dear leader is a Russian spy 🤔

          Still ignoring my points there, while deflecting with “haha look at this crazy here calling me out.” And then u accuse me of hero worship, a well known problem on the right, even if ive done no such thing. A very clever method of making both sides here look equally crazy to the bystanders. To them, i say:

          I got banned in World News for calling out russian shills spreading clear kremlin propaganda. This place isnt safe, and when months from now ur leftist spaces do nothing but circlejerk over silly slogans and nonvoting, remember this comment, and ask yourself who stands to benefit from such a culture?

          Most mature leftists are not ones to disparage u from voting so much as encourage u to take other forms of direct action. You will not have the option for either enable if this capitalist hellscape goes full fascist, and i assure u, US foreign policy being interventionist for 80 years is NOT the definition of fascism.
