This will come as no surprise to any one given they are a .ml account, but now that they are attempting to discourage people from voting, they revealed their true face.
Edit: only now seeing they also post links to x.com still. I liked their content because I am anti genocide too, but it’s clear there’s a big the_donald vibe there.

These people want trump to win. They do everything in their power to make the left look as bad as possible. They need things to get worse and the west to decend into fascism so their shitty ideology looks like the lesser evil.
It would have been really nice if someone had told me that years ago and there’s some “find your way in the lemmy jungle” kind of onboarding, but after 24h of talking to people from multiple instances I’m afraid you’re right.
This is so far to the left they are actually extreme right. You’ve put it very well.
The one thing that needs to be added is that this is mostly the instance admins and the chronically online mods who are no doubt paid. There are a fair bit of accounts on that instance who do not share the ideological views of the masters, and there are accounts on other instances who will peddle the most hardcore version of the .ml founder ideology.
I’m beginning to understand why this will never overtake reddit sadly.
The problem is the lingering Lemmy.ml federation. Because the actual developers of Lemmy own Lemmy.ml it gives it some legitimacy as opposed to the other tankie cesspits.
There are other software’s like piefed and mbin being developed that have tools which allow Admins to provide a more curated experience so new users dont sign up and have the first post be “all Americans deserve to die for voting for Joe biden”.
As the fediverse grows normal people will push out extremists. Early reddit was full of extreme reddit content.
Colonizers gonna colonize, am I right?
If colonizing is when people use a website, then no wonder you guys think Russia doesn’t invade countries.
Telling people Biden’s crimes is trying to get people not to vote? The fuck?
The name of the community is literally “manufacturing consent,” and you’re arguing in favor of consenting to genocide. You’re the exact kind of reason the community exists in the first place
OPs complete lack of self-awareness is amazing, right? I count this as the third attack against a leftist comm on LW in eight days. I guess the MOG right-wingers are getting agitated, lol. How about the DNC stops standing up pro-genocide candidates, then we might be able to get along.
Tis the season!
A small but unfortunate side effect of the ongoing genocide in Palestine is that it’s given a legitimate cause to people who were previously (and still) cheerleading the attack on Ukraine, etc.
Also, this particular account (geneva) is fairly anti-semitic - eg. refusing to distinguish between jews and zionists.
The usual tankie shit.
100% agree with you about geneva_convenience’s tendency to conflate judaism with zionism. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with calling out democrat (or any other) candidates who are soft on zionism. We need more, not less of that.
This election doesn’t offer an off-ramp to genocide
So then it’s not a democracy and it doesn’t matter if people participate in the sham.
On the other hand, if there is some semblance of democracy, then there is always an off-ramp to genocide or anything else, which is getting people to demand it. By giving your vote to a politician who doesn’t offer an off-ramp to genocide, you are choosing not to demand it, you are saying that you find what they’re offering acceptable, genocide included.
If a critical mass of people refuse to vote for a candidate over an issue, then they will change their stance on that issue if they care at all about winning. If all you say is, “Hey, we’d prefer if you did this, but it’s not going to have any impact on how we vote,” then it doesn’t matter how many people say that, they’re not going to change their stance because you’ve given them no reason to.
Stop letting politicians tell you what is and isn’t possible and start telling them instead.
I swear, the kind of trivial shit that will end a politician’s career because people think it’s kinda cringe, shit like the Dean Scream, and you think this is just set in stone because they say it is?
YDI for continuing to engage with fascists on their own communities.
I thought that community had a specific “no lesser evil” rule?
If so, it sucks but this is ydi based on what you said. I disagree with that rule when in place, but we are all supposed to at least glance at rules and not use a community if we’re unwilling to follow them.
If my memory is wrong, yup, ptb, which is par for the course
I’m tired of shitlibs complaining that everyone isn’t supporting vote blue no matter who and pushing electorialism.
So much this!! Happens every election and is very annoying.
