Fuck Trump & Musk. If I was in any position to, I would kill them myself, and if you ever are, it's your moral obligation to, as well.

[-] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago

Harm reduction can take many forms. I've always said eating the rich is vegan, but honestly so is punching Nazis. You don't always get a chance to do one, let alone both but when you can, you should.

[-] urata@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

The secret service would kill you if it was Trump. I don't think it's a worthwhile trade, the old guy's going to die soon anyways. His life is not worth more than yours.

Plus violence is what they want so they can really start telling the military to do things.

I agree with the sentiment though. I think they both deserve to be executed.

Trump should have been executed for treason in 2021.

How long are you guys gonna keep making this argument? They will fabricate any excuse they need, unconstrained by whether or not you actually fought back.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

The secret service should kill Trusk themselves if they care so much about the country.

Where can I report that my dead grandad was advocating violence on Juno beach in 1944?

"You know how a popular time travel question is, if you could go back and kill Hitler, would you? People are going to be asking the same about Trump and Musk (and Vance and Thiel and a whole mess of others) if the dust ever settles."

Aktshually Article 20 subsection 4 of the German Basic Law gives me explicit leeway to shoot the Führer:

(4) All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order if no other remedy is available.

And on his birthday, too!

That is so fucking awesome honestly.

"Hey we had someone try this before, if they try again, you are to stop them by any means necessary."

Turns out learning from mistakes and history works.

Me getting banned from asklemmy there for just saying Luigi

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There's no need to go around making actionable threats of violence that could be read out in a courtroom, that's called fedposting. Try this on for size:

If the right keeps pushing, eventually someone's probably going to feel like their back's against the wall with no other recourse. For example, if there was, say, a national abortion ban, I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to kill the people responsible. Tragic, really, but that's just the world we live in. Look, I want to do things peacefully, but if I can't produce results that way, well, it's not about me, it's about what's going to happen if other people lose confidence in my methods.

A prediction isn't a threat. I'm allowed to speculate about other people doing stuff, aren't I? Some historical orgs spoke that way, and their predictions could be eerily accurate.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk should be assassinated ☺️ 😍 😋 🤪 😇

Wow, just being able to say that when inciting violence is banned on most other social media felt empowering. I know to y'all this probably comes off as just another basic one-liner comment, but.. I've only recently started using Lemmy when I used to just browse Reddit without an account. There were times when I almost felt crazy, because I felt so much rage against these rapist scum I thought- given the opportunity- I would end their lives in an instant, consequences be damned. But on Reddit where any talk of violence (against the state) is banned (but violence via political persecution of minorities is A-OK!), I thought I was just a radical extremist.

And maybe I am a radical extremist, Lemmy as a whole is certainly small enough to be an echo chamber, but in a time where peaceful protest does nothing but paint a target on your back, free speech by necessity needs to include ushering people to make use of "the 4th box of liberty," the cartridge box. By god does it feel good to finally be able to say that.

I saw shit like THIS all over my town:

The Fuhrer shot himself, if I recall. Not that I wouldn't go back in time to shoot him again.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago

Shoot him earlier, before he killed all those people.

It didn't take me long to realize blocking that instance was a good idea. I didn't know about lemmygrad and hexbear (which federated) until someone from lemmy.world pointed out another user was "brigading", and looking up how lemmy.world eventually blocked that instance the feeling I have towards lemmy.world is that they act like the "world police" of the lemmy-verse.

[-] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 month ago

I unsubbed from everything over there except for Working Class Calendar and Work Reform. Normies that are still normies in 2025 making me irrationally angry.

[-] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yup. We're in an extra normal time and people are still clutching to decorum and civility as if it matters anymore.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 1 month ago

Lemmy.world isn't even based in the US 💀

[-] solidheron@quokk.au 10 points 1 month ago

are there any examples of this?

[-] SirQuack@feddit.nl 8 points 1 month ago

Damn, I switched communities to have a local argument (and I remembered I had an account here), but after seeing how us-centric dotworld has become when the account view changed, I'm not switching back.

Could be worse. Try saying anything critical about Putin to the admins of .ml. Instant ban from like, 20 different communities.

And for that matter, just politely disagree with the hive and see how fast you get Rule 1’d.

Not in anyone’s defense, but I’m pretty certain I read that .world is hosted in the Netherlands and are subject to the laws there. Suggesting harm on others is against the laws there or something.

.ml has no excuse for their authoritarian bullshit.

[-] EchoCT@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 month ago

Yeah that's bullshit. I have said plenty of anti Putin stuff in my instance. Same for being critical of China. I just don't spew propaganda without context when I do.

you shouldnt judge someone based on the instance they choose to moderate on thats just as bad as judging someone for their sexual orientation and if you want to see change you should become a lemmy world mod and be the change you want to see

As a queer person and a mod on lemmy.world, no it absolutely is not. Not even close. Not even in the same ballpark. An identity is 100% not the same as willingly choosing actions. You can disagree with the broad statement but equating it to bigotry is wildly out of touch.

Please don't use this analogy again.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

No one was born as a LW mod.

You should get some punctuation in there, man. Maybe a period, or a comma, or an exclamation point could help break up that endless flow of words.

This just in: LW mods win oppression Olympic gold over sexual minorities.

What a ridiculous comparison.

Lefty Memes

5299 readers
19 users here now

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!

Rules

Version without spoilers

0. Only post socialist memes


That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)


0.5 [Provisional Rule] Use alt text or image descriptions to allow greater accessibility


We require alternative text (from now referred to as "alt text") to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.

We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.

When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don't add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.


1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here


Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.


2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such


That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.


3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.


That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).


4. No Bigotry.


The only dangerous minority is the rich.


5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)


6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.



  1. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
