  • If you’re a Marxist, you want an end to exploitation and destruction, you want everyone to be liberated.

    I do think Trump gets us there faster than Kamala would have, because of the reasons you stated. He is destroying the US at a pace that is honestly necessary when we consider the climate destruction timeline. If the options are only those two, since no organized revolution is happening in the US by the left, Trump gets us there faster. It doesn’t mean we want it, or like it, or are happy about it, because it means death and violence on the most marginalized people. It is probably the best outcome for the world out of those two options, and inshallah it will be the end of imperialism and usher in a new era of growth for the global south. Trump won’t necessarily help a left revolution come to power, even if things get bad I’m not sure if Americans will be able to get organized at that level because of other factors, but I do think it is better for the workers outside of America.







  • If it was about defederating with other people I would agree, but if it’s a bad faith criticism of the instance I am also a part of, it’s essentially about me. If someone is openly talking shit about my house from next door because they are upset about not getting their way in some petty dispute they participated poorly in with someone in my building, it feels fine to me to chime in and say what I said. Again, the rules of reddthat community support don’t say it’s just for locals (unless I missed something), and by the nature of federation it would be assumed that others can see and comment on any of these posts. If your support channel is supposed to be only for users if the instance, that could be a good change to make.


  • I sort by new and a post appears, am I not allowed to comment? Why are you trying to police other users from expressing themselves on a forum? The nature of federated instances allows for cross communication between different instances, this is the point of the way it is designed. I made sure to check the rules of the instance and I’m not breaking any by politely pointing out that the OP is being disingenuous and has other solutions to control the content they see without blaming hundreds of people for one person’s actions.

    If an instance collectively chooses to defederate because one user got upset for being told off after trolling, it has nothing to do with me. Until that happens, I’ll keep seeing posts from this instance on my feed and comment as I wish, thanks officer.


  • I saw this and checked your comments … you seem to be combative to people who are being sincere in trying to engage. If you don’t want to engage with them, just tell them to disengage without saying anything else or block the users. I find it interesting to say you’re an anarcho communist and then immediately jump to defederating from an entire instance with hundreds of users because you got into a back and forth with one or two people. Doesn’t seem to be very aligned with the principles of collectivism to demonize hundreds of people because of the actions of an individual.
