    My friend, I will say yet again, it’s not about blocking “The Left.” It’s that you can’t talk to other humans about anything at all and not be so abrasive and focused on making anything at all an attack on your beliefs that no one cares about that people don’t invite you over to their place to hang out anymore.

    If I wanted this from social media, I would go back on facebook.

      I know. If you wanted to block the left, you would have done so. You want them silenced by force. It’s why you keep whining.

      If I wanted this from social media, I would go back on facebook.

      Facebook is certainly more in alignment with your views. And just as eager to remove ideas you don’t want anyone to be allowed to hear.

        silenced by force

        A statement made with zero evidence to support it. Do you even understand that if we’re communicating with each other, you and your ideas are not “blocked”? FFS, we probably have quite a bit on common, and because you have zero actual information you invent enemies to meet your confirmation biases. Plus, this is Lemmy, there is no force here.

        Look, you subscribe to an ideology, which is fine, and you and the .ml crowd seem to hold an extreme version of that ideology. The ideology itself doesn’t even matter, it’s that people holding extreme viewpoints are obsessive about them. Obsessive behavior does not make it easy to have a normal conversation about anything. Here’s me taking the same comment and changing only the ideology and it’s perfectly applicable the same way.

        No one “worries” about seeing religious speech. It’s that if you engage with anyone from, or anything posted in, a Christian-leaning instance, about any topic at all, you’ll eventually be hit with “All things are possible through Christ!” or the rest of their standard “I just converted and this is deep” zealot talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the instance. It’s exhausting and pointless. No one runs around elsewhere in Lemmy making it a point to defend Satan, so it’s just of a constant eye-roll when “I’m an independent thinker! Here’s the same thing we all say!” happens.

        I can do this 50 times over, talking about MAGA, about any religion, about the CCP, about those labubu dolls, about stoners smoking weed, about finance bros and stock trades, about crypto bros and BTC, etc.

        And while I understand there are numerous studies that say nothing will ever change your mind and I am wasting my time, I will tell you that if you really worry about “The Left” getting a fair shake, you have to realize that other than the Democratic party, people who do a bad job communicating what “The Left” does means or wants do more help to the fascists on the right by seeming unable to operate like a reasonable human, straight up lying when confronted about being bad communicators, and forcing yourself to the fringes of even left-leaning Lemmy because you can’t keep your shit together. It’s actually quite sad how people like you have done more to undermine anyone or anything left of center by being basketcases. You enable fascists every day. Look at your post history! It is the stuff they screenshot and post about how they’re stable and anyone on the left is nuts.

        Anyway, despite the fact that we likely have more in common than not, you’d rather invent lies to try and get some really lazy insults. Fine, fracture anyone left of the fascists. You already helped put us where we are, why not keep going?

          You can block me if you don’t want to hear anything from your left. But blocking isn’t enough for you. You can’t stand other people being allowed to listen to anyone who disagrees with you, so you’re whining in the hopes that people you disagree with will have their opinions removed so no one can read them. That’s why you keep whining.

          You won’t block people you don’t want to hear from because you want others to ban them for you. To censor them for you. To defederate from them for you. If you don’t want to hear something, you don’t want anyone else to be able to hear it.

          No matter how you try to equivocate and say that some random fandom is comparable, the only real thing that you’re mad about is that people like things you don’t like and you want it stopped.

          The rest of your comment is the usual “do whatever we order, shut up and never have an idea to the left of netanyahu, and it’s all your fault if we lose because you don’t love genocide enough” shit that your garbage wing of the party uses as an excuse for never changing.

          You already helped put us where we are, why not keep going?

          Never listen. Never improve. Not like I have to encourage you.

            You’re not blocked. I didn’t even know .ml instances were getting defederatd until you told me, and it’s a moot point anyway as it’s easy to make a new account on another server.

            I’m engaging with you in conversation. I actually am listening, and you’re just saying the same things over and over, and none of them are based in reality.

            Also, did you just call religions and the CCP a “fandom”? lol, I want a shirt that says “CCP: Worst fandom ever.”

            Friend, seriously, you need to find someone to talk to. I know things are a wreck right now in general, but please find someone you can talk with about something more than politics.
