Yeah I don’t really care tbh. At least two of those bans were falsely applied as I did not break the rules they claimed I did, but I don’t care to argue with power tripping mods in the first place. The vegan one I’m not shocked by. That crowd is allergic to facts or any criticism of their way of life.
I don’t remember the other ones.
Our of curiosity (because as you pointed out I am new here) how does one see mod logs? I only use the site through my phone and the sync app so I am guessing that’s something you have to use a computer to be able to see?
Oh man. Buckle up. The hive mind here is something fierce. Something about the Left eating their young. People get real pissy when you question a common narrative you find here. It’s becoming harder to separate fact from fiction for me. I can’t decide if my bullshit detector is accurate or malfunctioning.
It feels like there may be a fair amount of propaganda happening. Like back during the early days of the r/thedonald when you could you could watch the Russians clock in and stir up the magats and q’s. Just a different political flavor.
IDK, I say this as a blue voting redneck and supporter of socialized medicine and queer rights and so on.
You sound alright brother. I also lean left, but I ain’t into that super left hivemind bullshit.
Big fan of socializing medicine and I think all consenting adults can marry and fuck whoever the hell they want.
I also think everyone has a right to bear arms which they really don’t like.
I believe in free speech full stop. Used to be a lefty thing and now somehow isn’t. Not a fan of that shift.
I also hate cancel culture and DEI nonsense. People make mistakes and change. Hire the best person for the job regardless of race, gender and whatever else.
Most importantly I want the government to fuck off. Leave everyone alone. Help those who need help but stop telling us what to do dammit.
Looks like you caught another ban. I just had a thread removed for sealioning. Ehh.
Anyhow, hit me up by PM if you want.
As far as firearms go, yah, but nuanced. I do support more stringent purchasing requirements, some common sense limitations. Ultimately, we need a cultural shift back to where they are viewed as tools and not a male enhancement device. I use them for farming and hunting. However, the gun debate is pointless until the US rejects the overt fascism that we are seeing now. Bigger fish to fry.
While I’m obviously in favor of free speech, I think the algorithmically altered shit that is happening with corporate social media is a major problem. As is state level actors like Russia and China using Western social media to influence elections. Foreign involvement in US election social media should be squished like a bug, that is the opposite of free speech.
DEI in particular, that whole thing has been so politicized that it’s hard to see the forest through the trees. Systemic racism is real, seen it all my life in the deep South. Fought against racism when running a corporate shop and it was an uphill battle. IDK, I’m probably more sympathetic to too much DEI than none. I feel like it and cancel culture are a distraction mostly used by the Right. Discrimination is a real problem, and discrimination laws along with workman’s comp and other protections should actually be enforced. The companies that do this shit should be fined out of existence.
Having moved from the south to the northeast, I’m liking the higher level of government involvement in some areas, especially schools and roads. Sucks that I can’t throw away cardboard, recycling bins aren’t big enough to get rid of it, can’t burn it, and I’m not allowed to burn it.
Anyhow, mostly I dislike fanaticism of any stripe. Religious, political, or whatever. I’ve said before, to the Republicans, I’m a radical leftist demon. To the leftists outside of the US, I’m a centrist or right. We’ve lost nuance. Currently the far right is a much greater threat to my people than the the far left.
Mostly, I’m looking for unbiased and timely discussion of news. Warning of what may be coming from the nuts now in power.
