Hello World,
Today, after careful consideration and evaluation of recent events, we have decided to defederate from Lemmygrad.
Regrettably, we have observed a significant increase in hate speech and calls to violence originating from the Lemmygrad instance. Due to the severity of the posts and comments, we are not waiting for the next Lemmy update that will allow users to block instances.
At Lemmy.world, we have always strived to foster an inclusive and welcoming user environment. However, recent posts and comments from Lemmygrad have clearly violated our server rules and, more importantly, our core values. We firmly believe that hate speech and incitement of violence have no place in our community, regardless of personal beliefs or affiliations.
As always, we encourage all users to report any content they deem inappropriate or harmful. No matter one’s stance in any conflict, Lemmy.world will always take immediate action to remove and ban any posts or comments that incite violence or propagate hatred.
We encourage everyone to continue engaging in discussions within the boundaries of respect and understanding. As we move forward with this decision, we remain committed to providing all community members with a safe and welcoming space. We appreciate your continued support and cooperation in upholding our shared principles.
Thank you,
The Lemmy.World Team
My arguments were not about the politics per se, but rather the behaviour of human beings following said politics. If there were any chance for a leftish utopia as you describe it I’d be all for that. In my youth that was something I even dared to hope for.
Alas, we haven’t seen anything but people taking the worst aspects of either side and using demagoguery and violence to prop themselves up so far, have we? It’s not a horseshoe, it’s a full circle, and in any case I’ve personally never heard anyone critique Faye’s writings. In fact, they seem to enjoy a pretty good reputation amongst the left in general.
The problem is the same as it has always been; some people just want more, and they’re willing to walk over their fellow man to get it. Until that changes, nothing else will, either.
You seem eager to lecture others, but let me ask you this: do you really think politics matter in a trench when you’re getting shot at, or when your children are starving to death? When there’s no clean water or electricity? Seems somewhat naive to me, those ideals of yours. The world isn’t that black or white.
Learn the difference between left and right before trying to patronise me. That block of waffle was pure drivel. You didn’t even go to google before that display, did you? Try it now. Try googling what the far left, then what the far right is. Then be embarrassed.
Also - the sheer absurdity of talking about political theories and “ignoring the politics”. You wouldn’t ignore the maths when discussing mathematical theories, would you?
What are “the worst aspects” of the left wing and the right, and how do they even remotely resemble each other? Try your best to explain that.
You’re just proving that you understand so little, you don’t even get the bullshit that is horseshoe theory.
Okay, and that wouldn’t be possible in a leftist society. You act like these possibilities haven’t been thought of. You act as if you’re the first person to apply any sort of thought to this subject. You’re not. You’re just an arrogant dickhead.
Have fun with all that anger, it’ll really serve you to get absolutely nowhere when you’re older. See how long you can keep it up.
Try reading some of the other stuff Faye wrote, you two would probably even agree on some things. Try that Google thing you seem to like so much.
As for the rest, if you haven’t figured out you’re spouting basics but nobody is listening anymore I can’t really help you. You’re 30 years too late in my case, anyway. Now please stop.
What anger?
Cute attempt to distract from the fact you weren’t able to respond to any of my points. Cute attempt at poisoning the well, insinuating I’m a child.
Remember that we were discussing the fact horseshoe theory is bollocks, since anarchism and fascism are diametrically opposed? Yeah, good times.
Love and kisses,
XOXOXO
