From what I remember there were some polls showing Stevens was in the lead and Abdul under, but they were campaign polls so sus

The last respectable poll I saw from a week ago showed Abdul +5 in a matchup against Rogers

True, but there are 2 things at play that kinda make sense why it was such a small margin

Stevens campaign was DUMPING money into ads that was doing all kinds of shady shit from leaning into Islamophobia to pretending Obama endorsed her (She even had a cardboard cutout of Obama at a rally). From what I’ve heard, there was a Stevens AD on TV every couple ads in Michigan lol

And, supposedly a bunch of Republicunts were voting for Stevens in the primary because MI has an open primary and they didn’t have to vote for their candidate because he was running unopposed

Lol

LMAO

I want you to point out exactly what sentence I said that supports me promoting and encouraging harassment lmfao

Most are fine, there are a few right wing instances that crop up but most instances defederated from them fairly quickly (unless you’re on an “as long as it’s not illegal” instance, which include dbzer0, Lemmy.zip and lemmy.sdf.org)

The ones that are somewhat still federated but best to avoid are the ones known as the Tankie Triad, Hexbear Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml.

Hex and grad are fairly widely defederated from, including your instance, because of their tankie authoritarian ideology (Supports and defends authoritarian countries like Russia and NK (they’ll spread propaganda like Ukraine deserved to be invaded by Russia and it’s not even Russia invading but “liberation”)). Lemmy.ml tends to not be, because they try to keep it more subtle, there’s this mega thread that documents it. It’s lemmy.ml centric, but general rule of thumb is that whatever Lemmy.ml does hex and grad are known to be worse.

Most other instances are fine, .world…is just too big and that “power” has tended to go to their heads sometimes, though I will say not to the mass degree that Lemmy.ml does.

Oh and startrek.website is pretty shit, but you could tell that from this post LMAO

Idk probably, the admins and mods over there are always power tripping about something.

There was also the whole Stamets writeup last year about their bs to

I mean, does it really count as separate drama or a continuation of existing drama?

Lmao! There are a lot of open source developers, should we not call out the racist open source devs? Or the transphobic ones? What about the right-wing shit stains who just happen to be open source devs? There’s literal nazi bigots who develop opensource too (I think Hyperland is a prominent one iirc) should we not call their BS out?

I can applaud one’s good work while condemning their authoritarian or toxic or *phobic views. It’s called nuance.

Oh hey, it’s the infamous @hamid@vegantheoryclub.org shame you shutdown your instance before you could make it the fourth Tankie instance

“Trust me bro”

LMAO

Are you an LLM? You’ve gone completely off the rails and are dodging all questions that I ask of you to go off on these weird tangents. A bunch of article links and some memes has nothing to do with me

You pretend liberalism is somehow less genocidal and less exploitative than socialism, which has never been given a chance by liberal beacons to develop naturally

I’m literally socialist, I despise capitalism, but I’m not gonna cozy up to authoritarian countries and overlook their own atrocities just because they’re anti-west. I vote and advocate for the furthest left candidate I can in primaries and then vote blue in the general because that’s what we can do in our 2 party system

because states that want to establish AES are genocided, sanctioned, embargoed, invaded, neocolonized, as well as states that engage in capitalism and retain sovreignity.

Convenient how you decided to not mention that “AES countries” for tankies is considered places like NK, China and Russia with many many human rights violations

That’s your witch hunt

Nah, I’m against authoritarianism

and it’s extremely sad and dishonest that’s what you worship. Ba’al, Mammon, sheer, unadulterated greed is what you seek to uphold, maintain as the greatest good.

Lol, lmao even

This one has the line numbers so you can also see your ranking if your on it lmao

Ok so you’ve blasted a ton of links…that has to do with what about me exactly?

First you’re evading a legit question, I specifically asked what “nazis” you claim I “worship”. You intentionally dodged that entirely.

Second, you claim I spread disinformation, where? I document the actions and words of the admins and other tankies of .ml directly. I don’t post things from RT, TASS or other actual propaganda/disinformation outlets as is so frequently coming out of .ml

Bottom line:

First they came for the Communists

Which flavor? Because there’s more than one sect of “communists” tankies occupy the ML/Authoritarianism flavor. Though they do love to conflate themselves as the “one true communists/leftist” and everyone else are just “liberals”

worship literal Nazis and do all in your online power to help them succeed.

Who are these ‘literal nazis’, because if there’s one thing I’ve learned tankies slap the nazi label on anything against their ideology. I’ve even seen them shit on Mamdani as a nazi (or maybe the newer term I’ve seen “zionazi”?). So you’ll have to be more specific

You’re also a spambot with several accounts

I use multiple accounts for the crossposting campaign more for secondary reasons other than the crossposting (see below).

Further, each and every account used for that purpose has an explainer in the bio and a link to find a listing of accounts should anyone want to block en-mass

boost your false pride, rather than face your demons and do the actual work to develop a healthy sense of self and pride.

You’ve lost me here, what‽

It’s pitiful, but hey, without people supporting ethnic cleansing and genocidal war mongering, the rest of us wouldn’t be forced to further evolve.

You mean like tankies do when people bring up the atrocities that China, Russia and NK have done and/or continue to do?

Damn sorry bro, idk what happened but I seem to have forgotten to attach the Tankie tag to your user! Rest assured, I have corrected this error

To anybody else, this user is a Tankie and hates me because of my anti-authoritarianism (e.g. tankies) stance, my documentation work against the tankie admins of Lemmy.ml and push back against their propaganda (e.g. Genocide denialism, Russia is the good guys in the Ukraine war actually, NK isn’t a brutal dictatorship) and my boycott and cross posting campaign against them (see below)

Wait, you guys are getting line numbers‽ Somebody tell me my line number lmao

No clue lmao ig he figured I was too leftist for him. I think he’s some sort of establishment Democrat or somewhere around there on the political spectrum judging by what he’s said in the past l

Lol. Lmao even

You have been banned from Lemmy.ml
