2·3 months agoBasically left wing progressives are inherently anti-male and anti-white male and social media helps amplify and push these beliefs far and wide because left wing progressives and women are supplying them with easy content
You’re describing the liberal wing of the U.S. Democratic Party. A “left-wing progressive” would be someone like Bernie Sanders.
Have a look at this:
I’m not the person you asked, but his 2019 Bernie Sanders interview was really good.
Thanks, good to know you have a similar group over there.
By the way, the two I had previously mentioned have been condemned by the head of the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League:
To say this characterization is inaccurate would be an understatement.
Zionists pretend to speak on behalf of all Jews, but never have
For what it’s worth, here are two notable U.S.-based Jewish peace groups:
Ralph Babet, United Australia Party’s senator for posting on social media, was first to leap into action, demanding the band be deported:
I call on the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to join me in denouncing Tenacious D, Jack Black and band member Kyle Gass, and I call on the Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to revoke their visas and deport them immediately.
This is the same senator who in April refused to take down graphic footage of the attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel from his X account because: “Without free speech our nation will fall”.
In the U.S., this kind of hypocrisy is so common that people apparently no longer notice it – if they even did in the first place.
2·10 months agoI don’t mod any communities but I do put in the effort to curate my “All” feed and most of the users & communities I block come from those 2 instances. Toss hexbear on there and that’s almost 100%.
I specifically avoid all three of them as well, along with Beehaw.
That’s weird. Someone else here in the comments section mentioned downvote bots, so it might be that (?)
It seems to be more prevalent on lemmy
I’ve noticed this with the two largest Lemmy instances – .ml and .world.
it’s still mildly-infuriating to see obviously innocuous/irreverent posts/comments being dogpiled
I think early downvoters are just trying to induce others to follow them because they’re assholes and have nothing better to do. Unfortunately, it’s pretty common with both Reddit and Lemmy.
4·11 months agoThings were great when I first joined Lemmy a year ago – it truly felt like a community – but then unfortunately some of the same toxic Reddit-like behavior started to creep in.
I’ve since learned that if I avoid the two largest Lemmy instances, plus some of the more sketchy ones like Beehaw and Hexbear, for the most part it’s good.
I had a Hexbear account for about a month, and noticed whenever I logged in or refreshed the webpage that someone else’s username would momentarily appear at the top right of my desktop screen where mine would normally be, and then mine would appear.
This had never happened with any of my user accounts in other instances, and I was considering deleting it out of fear that my username (and, perhaps, login credentials) might somehow get compromised.
Anyway, I ended up deleting it for something else – the very same reasons often mentioned in the comments here, after experiencing some of that toxic shit firsthand. Good riddance!
I remember watching a televised oval-track truck race a few decades ago; one competitor had to drop out because his truck developed vapour lock from the heat. The bonnet was black.
In the next race his truck had a white bonnet. A pit reporter with a pyrometer took temps of that truck’s bonnet before the race, plus another truck with a black bonnet.
The white bonnet was 42C and the black bonnet was 82C – just sitting there in the starting lineup, with engines off.
