Communism allows everyone to pretend to have free stuff by declaring those that actually make it less than human, and thus less than citizens.

Your crops are picked by exploited immigrants, the coltan in your electronics mined by African child slaves, and the electronics themselves assembled on 14-hour shifts by sweatshop workers under capitalism. And you still have to pay for them.

What you're describing are colonialism and slavery, both of which are time-honored, bedrock capitalist institutions.

Funny how on the rare occasion they respond to posts like this one, it's to make a snide comment about Russian bots

sartre-pipe "If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

The purpose of the "Russian bot" accusation is to use an unfalsifiable claim to avoid actually having to engage with someone's arguments without admitting that you can't rebut them

Since you apparently like Star Trek, here's a video clip describing your situation

There is no such thing as legitimate opposition to genocide. Anyone who professes such a thing is just saying it to piss people off. Hamas? Trolls! The Houthis? Trolls! The International Criminal Court? Trolls! The huge crowds of protestors across the US? Trolls, every last one of them!

No, no you should not. No investigation, no right to speak.

"Uhhhh 'the machine' is clearly Big Woke that's trying to make us all gay trans Muslims. It's like you don't know anything 🙄"

You literally accused someone of being a paid Kremlin agent because they had facts and opinions you didn't like lmao

 

This is on my mind, since I had to temp-ban someone from c/vegan for it in the past week, and another example of it went unmoderated for hours after being reported in another community (though it was eventually dealt with).

It doesn't matter how much the person you're responding to deserves it. Odds are, they will not care. But you know who will care? Any comrades who happen to read the thread and who struggle with suicidal ideation and/or self harm. You could ruin their day. You could be the push that sends them over the edge. Even in the unlikely event that you cause grief to the person you're responding to, no amount of collateral damage is worth it.

Don't make suicide bait posts or comments. Don't upvote suicide bait posts or comments. Report and denounce them wherever they show up.

 

Sure do love to have 50MB of bullshit poorly optimized Javascript visual effects crammed into my browser on every page. The cute little animations definitely make up for the fact that it takes like 5 seconds every time I load my private messages.
