But Reddit sent a mass message to moderators telling them how they were expected to moderate any content praising the extra judicial murder of brian Thompson or calling for more political violence against the bourgeoisie…… and now reddit is sending people the same automated response about how liking banned content is against their policy and can lead tk further punitive action against ones account. Basically threatening moderators with banning of the communities they moderate if they did not follow their censorship memorandum. Even before this last summer my account was permanently IP banned for a comment on a post about israel/palestine that essentially said international law states an occupied indigenous population has the right to defend itself by any means necessary including violent resistance. And i was definitely not the first to experience such censorship.

I just peruse to see the news but i was ip banned for posting comments critical of israel and supportive of Palestinian resistance about a year ago. Hopefully lemmy gets to s point where reddit becomes irrelevant but it is still in its infancy at the moment.

There is at least one luigi community on lemmy but its pretty small. Reddit deleted at least a dozen luigi Mangione communities that sprung up in the beginning that had hundreds of thousands of members snd now the 2 main groups are free luigi snd justice for luigi mangione there are also a couple anti luigi conservative corporate boot licking communities some think are satirical but are obviously not satire and just massive law enforcement dick sucking boot licking circle jerks one is r/fuckluigimangione its quite ridiculous.

The freeluigi community has done a good job of posting pertinent news and information on the case but it is pretty mild and definitely working hard to neuter any calls for revolution against the wall street billionaire military and prison industry profiteer class to ensure reddit doesn’t shut it down as well or it could be LEO operated to keep an eye out on people who express opinions unfavorable of our billionaire slave masters

And right now we are seeing s large surge of users transitioning away from reddit to lemmy as a result of this censorship

I don’t disagree, the writing could definitely be better. But i think the general idea and the title have some merit. Fred hampton has become a symbol of power against corrupt authority and if mangione is truly the one culpable for the killing of Thompson then that act should be seen as a symbol for what happens when you manipulate the public for 50+ years, nullify the progress made by prior leftist movements using any and all means possible against your own citizens and remove true leftist policies from the mainstream while amplifying far right ideologies.

Amen, that is definitely the RIP Hampton deserves. On the flip side Brian Thompson and the rest of the capitalist wall street military and prison industry profiteers who have bought our political system and own the media they deserve to Rot in piss along with the feds and pigs that extrajudicially murdered this king.

He was a threat to the ruling class regardless and although he was non violent and only advocated using the threst of violence in self defense he was still murdered violently by the state, I see his murder as a state sponsored assassination.

I know all about it, its disgusting. Murdered in bed next to his pregnant fiance. The cops that carried out that assassination deserve to rot in piss for all eternity

The only thing predictable is the pro capitalist propaganda points coming from you The ccp is not communist, its state owned capitalism. And russia hasn’t been the ussr since 1989 but it is authoritarian. But so is the usa.

You sound like a billionaire bootlicking propaganda fountain.

Any crimes of humanity you use to demonize communism and socialism i can name far worse criminality perpetrated by capitalist regimes.

How many millions of children go without dinner every night in America alone? Capitalism aims to deprive people of resources so a small few can live in opulent luxury and spend more on weekend vacations than you could earn in a dozen consecutive lifetimes. And you are incorrect i have endured food insecurity. But yay america and capitalism because anyone can just pull themselves up by the bootstraps if they can just allow themselves to be treated like a disposable automaton to earn peanuts while being degraded so someone can take in passive income on their back.

Also fascism is inherently anti communist. What are you going to tell me next that the Nazi’s were socialist because they had the word socialist in their description? Who were the first group of people hitler vilified and sent to the labor camps? Oh right! The communists 🤣 fascism is primarily marked by the intersection of economic and military industry in control of the governing and media apparatuses. With characteristics such as the suppression of labor power, the protection of corporste power, sexism, obsession with national security and militsrism, unification around a common scapegoated enemy, disdain for intellectuals and artists, disdain for human rights, religious ideals intertwined with government, militarized police, obsession with crime and punishment, blatant cronyism, nepotism and corruption. The only one of the traits of fascism that America can claim plausible deniability on is fraudulent elections but anyone witj a brain can see our whole political system is owned by the wealthy. A princeton study showed unequivocally that the amount of influence a person has on policy is directly related to their economic status with a vast majority of the population who arent multi millionaires having a statistical near zero effect on any issue regardless of how popular or unpopular it may be to the boting general public.

And at least stalin wasn’t murdering and starving innocents to increase shareholder dividends.

Authoritarianism is bad but if i had to choose ill take the one where the regime makes an effort to ensure the citizens needs are met, as opposed to maintaining high profits so billionaires can buy more yachts and lobbyists to bribe politicians legally. whats the homelessness rate in cuba today? Oh yeah it’s virtually non existent meanwhile the us has the highest rate of homelessness and suicide since the gilded age and great depression. And also cuba such a socialist shithole as you would undoubtedly claim, still managed to innovate a vaccine to prevent lung cancer that is so effective the US had to begrudgingly admit it existed and work with the researchers who developed it to bring it to market in the usa where it is currently undergoing clinical trials (at a snails pace since the American capitalist health insurance cartels have zero interest in providing a cure for any cancer)

Everything in capitalism is commoditized including the suffering and death of those who are adversely affected by a system that rewards greed and lacks humanity. One of many cases in point being the war on drugs which has turned America into a fascist police state. We are conditioned to believe prohibition is continuing to erradicste the supply and demand of narcotics. Meanwhile the supply and demand have only grown since the war on drugs began and in reality the only things these laws do are increase the black market value of narcotics making them more profitable for socially elite bulk distributors, while commoditizing the poor mental health issues and suffering of those living in our capitalist system who are seeking escape and relief through self medication, to keep prisons at maximum occupancy and increase the profits of prison industrial profiteers. While the public are propagandized to support these blatantly authoritarian fascist laws that make things worse so more resources can be diverted to the police force who maintain racist attitudes mainly due to these drug prohibition laws which were all built upon the most racist and ignorant ideas of the early 20th century. And it also leads to the evolution of the market so now the majority of the illicit opiod supply is tainted with fentanyl analogues because its easier to smuggle something uktra potent and that reduces risk, so thank you DEA for the increase in overdoses and all the fentanyl in the black market supply. All of this is not only absurd and mindless its blatantly unconstitutional and illegal for several reasons. But again America is a capitalist empire in decline exhibiting severe symptoms of fascism.

Plus You had nothing to say of burkina faso and libya which were both successful until western capitalist powers assassinated their leaders and installed far right capitalist regimes. So much for “socialism always fails” if that were the case why is so much spent to ensure its failure? And all that man made famine you speak of, you fail to leave out who were responsible for the lack of food resources resulting from insurgent action by capitalist aggressors

And I understand feudalism. Its a system where the ultra wealthy act as landlords for an arbitrary amount of the crops and goods produced on their land but then that devolved into paying rent and if not one was charged as a criminal for stealing the resources of the land they lived on. Capitalism as it is today ultimately eroding all the socialist protections fdr legislated through the FLSA of 1938, has devolved into a system of neo feudalism. It is a fact that it cost more to purchase and maintain slaves under chattel slavery than Americans earning mininum wage anywhere in the country today are currently compensated.

And the massive amounts of resources expended bu capitalist super powers to ensure those awful economic conditions isn’t the reason for them? 🤡 What about lybia, burkina faso and cuba before the ussr fell? Youre seriously just parroting anti socialist propaganda. Capitalism came to be the domination economic model in the 1600’s took control of half the world and immediately began searching for new markets to exploit while perpetuating warfare for profit, slavery to maximize profits and genocides to stifle any resistance or perpetuate the values of eugenics and racism but yeah communism is bad because of famine and people aren’t allowed work really hard to become wealth hoarding billionaires while a large subset of the population live in squalor to support such opulent lifestyles of luxury

Break down the word capitalism and it tells you all you need to know. The intransitive verb at the root, to capitalize, is synonymous with “to exploit” and “to take advantage” the only time American capitalism ever allowed the working class to thrive was a brief moment of 4 decades after FDR legislated socialist policies to protect the working class from severe limitless exploitation and now legislation has been passed since that has rendered that progress irrelevant.

Also fascism is capitalism in decline and monarchy is irrelevant because we are talking economic models. And monarchies that were not capitalist were feudalist which is just a less refined version of capitalism.

Capitalism is the only system that promises people the ultra slim a d unlikely chance to become as wealthy as those who exploit the poor. what systems, besides capitalism in third world countries are worse than capitalism at its core? Where greed and ruthlessness are praised above virtuous ethical pursuits

Thats something i wonder too. My answer is that many of the unwilling participants within capitalism are delusional and believe that they are capitalists when being a capitalist means you would have capital so that means these people are nothing more than exploited workers with severe Stockholm syndrome. People like this writer believe they are just temporarily embarrassed billionaires

When your entire career is nothing more than licking boots i guess eating glue is an improvement 🤷‍♂️

Whenever i see one I have no choice but to yell out “elon musk is a fucking cunt” at the top of my lungs. And it really sucks because i hate saying that chud’s name and prefer to call him “space karen”
