~~Sir~~ Lady, you are from ml

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right? They should have noticed instantly.

  1. Post is critical of Donald without a bothsider poster urging everyone to vote third party.

  2. Nobody praising state capitalism in the comments.

I really think people should not vote for kamala in the next election, they should vote for me

I don't think anyone is commenting on her face. They're commenting on what she chose to do to her face.

I agree with the first bit.

Having just moved off ml myself, getting tired of being called something I wasn't, I find your second sentence disappointing and unsurprising in equal measure.

Do better. Be better.

I'm gonna guess they were calling you a liberal. In the context of leftist politics or any relevant literature since 1848 or so, liberal means you support the capitalist mode of production. When Mao wrote the pamphlet "Combat Liberalism", he wasn't advocating a really aggressive style of liberalism, and he certainly wasn't advocating combating liberalism with conservatism.

Here's a book on what it meant to all the major liberal philosophers.

If 344 pages is too long, here's a song from the 60s about liberals that's no less true today.

I'm on .ml and the problem isn't others at ml. I've expressed in more than one thread that I'm not a communist or etc - I'd place myself in roughly the same place as Bernie Sanders if I had to pick a spot on the left-right spectrum.

The only time it's been a problem is when I had opinions about communism or Russia, and THEN it was primarily hexbear folks who came at me hard. The ml folks I disagreed with were passionate but courteous.

The problem with being on ml is people not on ml being dicks about being a user on ml, for the most part.

I'm absolutely shitty with a large section of the .ml user base I promise, but .world is just all the worst energy from reddit.

That line probably didnt need to make the comment though, youre right. Judaean Peoples Front? we're the Peoples Front of Judaea!

Ew, two ugly people both inside and out.

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

and they've probably been inside each other O.o

[–] swag_money@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i know right? criticize what's under their control; don't criticize the body they are born with it's just bullying at that point.
that being said let's fuckin behead these fascist cunts

[–] danafest@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

Yeah that's all well and good, but that's 100% not the face she was born with. She chose that.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Because that is how you get his followers. They like her because of the fascist beliefs. Attack her looks and you actually hurt them.
