the internet sure is fun
I’d say the essence of being a leftist is to spend so much time trying to prove that other people aren’t left enough that you never get anything thing else accomplished.
It’s so weird how when effective leftist leaders are regularly disappeared or flat out assassinated for several generations, the movement falters due to lack of effective leadership.
I would say the essence of being a leftist is wishing you were dumb enough to not care. The idiots seem to have a great time.
I don’t think many leftists have to worry about that.
So all these replies I’ve been making to you have been in vain, oh SMCF?
I always enjoy your replies!
I find a large part of being a leftist is taking down stickers/flyers and putting up other stickers/flyers too
It’s just the classic. Everything is over exaggerated and not a big deal until it personally affects you. Then you realize everyone who’s talking about this is going through the same thing or worse. Until the next issue comes up and these people go right back to the sidelines to tell leftists they’re overreacting.
I posted a reply here and it got removed by an admin. I’m done recommending Lemmy now.
A quick look through the modlogs show that the comment you made that was removed was an incredibly racist blanket statement that was deeply offensive to immigrants.
Perhaps it’s best for everyone that lemmy not have someone of your mindset recommending it in the first place.
My dude, you do realize that it’s easy as fuck to see the shit you post that gets removed? Yes, you should be done recommending Lemmy because I don’t think we want your friends. Incredibly narrow-minded and frankly bigoted takes on immigration that serve no purpose other than revealing you see only black-and white cartoons of the world. Fishing for sympathy for having your BS removed only makes you look more entitled and obnoxious.
Get out.
it’s a lot harder to fish for sympathy when modlogs are public
Normally I’d explain you’re on one of the tankie instances but your account is old enough for me to think you probably know that already
I had a comment removed in microblog memes and can’t find a single post I made there. I just unjoined and blocked the community. No chance i’ll be accused of something I did not do by them again. Oh a lemmy.ml user. Now it all makes more sense.
I still roll my eyes at “the cruelty is the point” sometimes because it’s a bigass cudgel used by Leftists to stop any possible discussion about improving something.
Sometimes the cruelty is the point. Sometimes the cruelty is unknown to the people who are unintentionally inflicting it. Sometimes the cruelty is just the necessary outcome of an unfeeling universe and no one can stop it.
If you can’t acknowledge that, then you’re just as dumb and brainwashed as the MAGAs.
If the cruelty wasn’t the point then effort would be made to alleviate it, the universe might not feel but people are capable of it.
That’s the entire part of the concept of “what makes us human”
then effort would be made to alleviate it
That’s the eye-rolling part. Effort, in many cases, IS being made to alleviate it. But committee meetings and policy proposals and exploratory hearings are BORING, and anyway none of that stuff is on TikTok so does it really exist?
The saying “the cruelty is the point” is often an indicator of someone who is very uninformed and yet still has strongly held beliefs. It’s an inability to see the complicated, messy reality. It’s a childlike desire for a simple world with a Bad Guy to fight against.
Sometimes there is one. We do live in a world with cartoonishly evil, over the top bad people. But sometimes that’s just not how it works.

that dei policies won’t create a two tier society that people resent
If DEI was really ineffective and bad why are investment banks sticking with it? Those groups love money and hate doing anything that loses money…
that immigrants are a benefit to the society’s they join.
This is true in most cases. I’d argue the immigrants from Christian Europe to “The New World” were detrimental to the societies they encountered as the unfounded racial supremacist notions of the Europeans enabled the murder of those societies but in the modern age all statistics point to immigrants being a net positive from a capitalist’s perspective.
that being soft on crime and mental health diagnoses will reduce crime and improve people’s quality of life.
A ton of crime can be attributed to Reagan’s shuttering of the nation’s asylums. Tough on crime legislation has little evidence to support its effectiveness.
that following the rule of law allows isn’t a disadvantage.
If we followed the rule of law we would have different people in power. The GOP has refused to enforce the law at every significant turn in the last 25 years.
immigrants and equal rights are compatible.
Why wouldn’t that be the case?
why are investment banks sticking with it? Those groups love money and hate doing anything that loses money…
Yeah but sometimes they’re REALLY BAD at making money lol. They just have so goddamn much money that it’s difficult to lose.
Which has nothing to do with why they intend to keep DEI policies
