Good, keep her out of everywhere.

Tearing down the wrong Amazon

I’m not scrolling through the thread to police people. I’m just responding to you as one person to another. I’m certainly not trying to shut you up.

I didn’t call you or anyone else in this thread a tankie, because I actually agree with the premise that Lemmy could benefit from a more collaborative culture. I’m not identifying and harping on which political issues we disagree on here, because there are plenty of other threads on Lemmy for that.

I’m just letting you know that I honestly believe that you and I are on the same side. We agree on 90% of the most important issues in the world right now. I don’t think there is any daylight between us when it comes to Trump or unions or healthcare or LGBTQ+ or protecting online speech or most other things. I don’t consider you an enemy at all, and I hope you think the same about me. We can and should (and have) discuss when we disagree on threads related to topics where we differ.

Neglecting the majority of topics where we support one another does not benefit us, Lemmy, or the world.

No one here brought up the Democratic Party or genocide except you.

This is a post about division on Lemmy.

You actually don’t have to demonstrate that. You can choose to find common ground in the culture of the platform and save the division for matters that are important to you in the communities that discuss them. That’s up to you, friend.

Maduro’s already sacrificed millions who are now refugees and thousands who have been disappeared. Seems like someone whose main agenda is just fair elections and human rights couldn’t be worse than that.

I’m going to go right now into your history and upvote every comment of yours I agree with

Edit: I found a few dozen from recent weeks. We agree on more than you think. Many I’d already upvoted.

noooo deeebiiiian, juuusst caaaandy cruuuush

Probably strategic. Everyone knows that he has been vying for it and was prepared to make an enemy of anyone who won it. She shouldn’t have endorsed Trump, even tacitly, but she headed off a dangerous enemy.

(Case in point)

Dictators gonna dictate

Right wingers will be like, “Well he’s racist but we agree on taxes and the gays so he’s all right with me.”

Left wingers will be like, “We disagree on one of the 100 most important issues to me, therefore you are my enemy!”

Fantastic. Looks like there are a few that people have spun up. Thanks!

This is great! I may get back into this. Does anyone know if there is a directory of instances?

… Which MEE presents and uncritically defends. It’s an article about a Nobel Peace Prize winner that literally doesn’t mention why the Prize was awarded. Please think before you post.

Imagine quoting the (checks notes) Nobel Peace Prize committee. The horror. They should be quoting the Maduro regime instead.

Middle East Eye consistently has the most baffling and undisciplined takes imaginable.

As you said, it is so unbelievably overpriced that market forces don’t come close to explaining it. Low level investors pump it full of money, and the top people get out before it all crashes like a Tesla in self-driving mode.

Technically pump and dump is not the same as a ponzi scheme, but it takes longer to explain.
