i dont understand anything...

[-] stenAanden@feddit.dk 77 points 1 week ago

It tries to communicate that libertarians aren’t fascists. Which is incorrect.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 32 points 1 week ago

I'm really confused that the libertarian seems to be differing from the Democrats in the meme when Mamdani won the primary and is endorsed by the Democrats. I'm not doubting there are people who typically vote blue who wouldn't like him (and some might not even vote because of it, or prefer Cuomo), but they certainly don't fit the stereotypes of the characters on the left in this meme.

This is just "It's too late democrats, I've depicted you as the foolish soyjak and the libertarians as the noble chad."

[-] Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

libertarianism is about how the government should f off (appealing if you're already rich)

fascism is about how all power should be vested in a single person who leads everyone towards the will of the nation (appealing if you're stupid and a bit of a romantic)

admittedly today's "libertarians" are often in name only

[-] UnixSlvt42@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Today I learned that voting for a democratic socialist is fascist.

[-] frezik 43 points 1 week ago

But how is that in any way compatible with libertarianism?

I presume not "libertarian" in the old sense of anarchism. Even that doesn't particularly like electoral politics at all.

[-] UnixSlvt42@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

I don't have to agree with everything Mamdani says to realize that the establishment Democrat party is incapable of standing up to this administration. Hence the whole political pluralism thing.

[-] stenAanden@feddit.dk 37 points 1 week ago

Libertarians are overwhelmingly siding with republicans. Doesn’t that mean anything?

[-] UnixSlvt42@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Uh no. Does the USSR mean anything when talking to an anarchist?

Trans rights are human rights Free Palestine. Abolish ICE.

That any clearer for you?

[-] sem 8 points 1 week ago

I'm really confused how someone who values human rights would vote libertarian.

[-] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

libertarians literally don't want social support to be a thing, how are they even close to a demsoc

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago

Americans don't know what words mean that's why

[-] djsoren19 16 points 1 week ago

No, but it's also not American Libertarian

[-] UnixSlvt42@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

Correct. I'm an actual libertarian. Not a classical liberal.

[-] djsoren19 25 points 1 week ago

then you probably shouldn't use the American Libertarian flag for your meme

[-] UnixSlvt42@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago
[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 20 points 1 week ago

You use (and say you like) the symbols of a specific political party but then defend yourself saying that you mean the ideology as a whole (and a huge "no true Scotsman") while criticizing a different specific political party. Maybe don't use those symbols if you wanna make your point better.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 14 points 1 week ago

You sound like people that fly confederate flags but say "It's heritage, not hate."

[-] UnixSlvt42@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago
[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

You think it's cool you sound like a racist?

[-] UnixSlvt42@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

You can't tell the difference between ideologies like Geolibertarianism and anarcho-capitalism. Why would I care what I sound like to a politically illiterate person like you? Anyone who disagrees with you probably sounds like a racist.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago

Can you? You're the one using the flag because "you like it."

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

That flag predates American libertarians and even America itself

[-] djsoren19 4 points 1 week ago

The Swastika predates Nazi Germany as a symbol for many years, but if you post a flag with a Swastika on it, people are going to assume you mean a Nazi. Once a symbol gets adopted and popularized with a group, it gets associated with that group, regardless of prior meaning.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Nobody but the truly ignorant are going to think you're a Nazi for flying this, and it's borderline racist to suggest otherwise

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 week ago

You're not alone. This is one inane meme.

[-] UnixSlvt42@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Well this here is Earth. That over there is a beetle. Those up there are clouds. Oooh and babies come from a stork. I have no idea what a stork is but I've been assured that's where babies come from.

[-] luciole@beehaw.org 39 points 1 week ago

Please don't assume everyone is American.

[-] Smorty 12 points 1 week ago

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
