        The irony here is all the comments condoning it are removed. Hell, my comment was a Thomas Jefferson quote and it was removed. Even lemmy dampens the notion.

          .world is considered the most reddit-like of Lemmy. You can often discuss this stuff elsewhere on Lemmy without issue.

              i got in trouble with them, when i was pointing out how israel/aipac has bought off many of the DEMs and gop, and then also said they are also responsible for funding/censoring protests of gaza in the universities when i was referring to SEINFELD and her wife funding censorship both being of that demographic, they essentially accused me of being anti-semitic. in politics.world

          I find it interesting that those Republicans are trying to remove healthcare, meaning many people will die. They will absolutely die from the direct actions of those politicians. They are murdering people.

          But any mention of fighting back is over-the-line and not allowed. Why can one side do it but not the other?

              Accepting your premise as true, it logically follows that god is in fact a shithead.

          Lmao they’re removing Thomas Jefferson quotes? Fuck the Nazi-loving mods here. History judges your poor choices.

          Edit: so you mind quoting the reason they gave for removing a Jefferson quote?

            Also replies agreeing with Thomas Jefferson quotes, followed by LoTR references.

            e: this just reminds me why I unsubbed from all .world communities and subbed to any alternatives, even if they’re smaller. I was here from /All so I didn’t notice the instance. Now I’m not surprised I was removed.

      Honestly I think it’s too late. The groups you’re up against are all armed to the teeth with military gear and zero accountability. The time for (reserved) violence was months ago. Right now your choice is to take it up the ass or gtfo.
