I know they’ve always been on Lemmy, but it seems like the past few weeks it’s slowly increasing, making me want to just stay on beehaw /local. Showing up on more communities, even on instances that ban that type of trolling explicitly.
Anyone else notice this?
Note: When I’m saying Tankie here, I’m not referring to far leftists, socialists, anti-capitalists, etc. I’m talking about trolls that act leftist but their actual intent is to cause infighting and support authoritarian regimes. Sealioning, all that stuff.
I can. Because it’s shortsighted, especially when we already had four years of Trump as an example of what would happen. It’s not like they can say “It’s possible he’d be better!” because we have clear examples that he wouldn’t.
If your choice is between having your house burn down and your toilet overflowing… you don’t just leave the house and never return. You take the toilet overflowing and fix it. Because just leaving it means someone else who’s more responsible has to clean up your mess.
This is the shortsightedness of US politics:
On the one hand you have a spoilt rapey trust fund brat that’s too stupid but will implement fascism in behalf of those whispering in his ear verses a near dead self proclaimed zionist actively taking part in the genocide of the Palestinian people and in doing so has side stepped Congress multiple times to carry out that participation and promises to do stuff if you vote him in but despite having control of all 3 branches of govt, does fuck all.
So who do you vote for?
It’s either eat the shit in some fake consensual choice and fucking smile about it or get force fed it whether you like it or not, and you all do this every 4 years but never stop to ask why you’re all eating shit
