Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

If "the west" isn't voting for Bush or Reagan then they're hailing people like Obama, who destroyed Libya and brought back open air slave markets - or Clinton who destroyed Belgrade and undermined social protections for workers. To think you are somehow better because you support(ed?) Genocide Joe is just delusion.

I’m not even American yet still in “the west”, and refuse to be identified by American subpar ways of determining people in power.

What’s your view on Trump?

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just as bad as Biden, Obama, Bush Jr., and both Clintons; deserving of the same International Criminal Court convictions as the five I just listed.

Fun fact: did you know the ICC has only ever prosecuted African nationals since its inception in 2002?

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 11 months ago

I hadn't done that much research into it, but I'd figured most of them were. Of course the ICC's just a Western white body to keep the mother continent under the settlers' thumb.

Critical support to Donald Trump in his mission to undermine the amerikkkan state, bless him for not hiring people to the state department and congratulations for his negotiation of capitulation to the Taliban
