Lemme know when the administration starts canceling real leftists, not democrat regime propagandists 🥱

[-] beetus@lemmy.world 66 points 4 days ago

There's a poem for this. Maybe you should care when anyone is silenced by the govt

[-] dogbert@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

“First they came for Stephen Colbert…”

LOL did that sound less ridiculous in your head?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 43 points 4 days ago

Sounds right, you're just being dumb.

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

doesn't sound ridiculous at all to me. you just don't get it.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

You are one dumbass motherfucker

[-] prole 2 points 3 days ago

Why not just live in China at this point?

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Reading your comments has managed to actually make me even stupider.

[-] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 59 points 4 days ago

“I only care when viewpoints I agree with are censored”

I don’t know if that’s what you meant to say but that’s how it reads

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Mfer is just like the average MAGA fascist.

Assuming they're safe forever when its others targeted

Won't realize they fucked up (assuming they're even mentally capable of self reflection or critical thinking) until its their ass in the camp.

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 36 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

To be fair, regardless of what you think of Kimmel or Colbert - actual leftists don't have enough of an audience to justify the administration wasting time on them. So they don't.

[-] dogbert@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

Exactly. You don’t get that level of access unless you are complicit in this system, like Kimmel and Colbert.

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 13 points 4 days ago

I mean even on 'alternative media' there are really not many self-made individual leftists with wide viewership. I suppose my other point is that it is still a problem when the government also tries to censor people who are not leftists.

[-] dogbert@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It’s just ironic considering Colbert and Kimmel themselves have censored leftists throughout their careers. They themselves are part of this threat you’re speaking of…

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 9 points 4 days ago

How did they censor leftists? With the power of the government behind them?

[-] dogbert@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Brother, Kimmel had his security assault numerous Pro-Palestine advocates at his show during a Kamala Harris taping…

Colbert is literally on the DNC payroll. You think that Mamdani interview wasn’t coordinated?

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 11 points 4 days ago

Can I see the context of this assault?

Not sure what Colbert being on the DNC payroll or a gotcha interview with Mamdani has to do with censorship.

[-] dogbert@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

You don’t know what the DNC has to do with censoring leftists?? Am I speaking to an adult right now?

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 15 points 4 days ago

In this context, no. Are you arguing that because the Democrats censor people, or something, that therefore anyone who is part of the Democrats is therefore censoring by extension?

[-] dogbert@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

You are so close to getting it lmao

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 4 points 4 days ago

This is absurd. So did Colbert or Kimmel specifically use their power (whatever that is) to shut down, for instance, other comedians shows? Did they try and get people who criticise them arrested?

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Says the 9 day old bot account

[-] Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Are you a 'real leftist' who would rather attack liberals for not being not left enough before attacking conservatives?

Or are you a right wing plant here to sow political division among the American left?

Horseshoe theory strikes again.

[-] dogbert@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

Liberalism is a conservative ideology. There is no “left enough” as they are not leftists. This is not a secret. Read theory.

[-] Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Liberalism is a stepping stone to socialism.

You cannot institute change by expecting people to radically change their ideologies overnight. It happens bit by bit, through actionable steps, not condescension and anger.

Ask yourself this, do you truly want people to become more progressive, or do you just want to feel morally superior by yelling at people who don't meet your standards?

American liberals are just trying to do the bare minimum of fighting fascism, and even that is a monumental task. Political infighting in the American left only helps conservatives. By the time you are done yelling at liberals, there will no longer be a country that has any shot at adopting 'real leftist' ideologies.

[-] dogbert@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

An ideology that is pro-capitalism cannot be a stepping stone toward socialism. That doesn’t make any sense, and Liberals have literally opposed socialism at every step. Please read theory. This has already been debated and settled a long time ago. Socialism is only achieved by a violent overthrow of the ruling class. A class that liberalism is designed to protect.

[-] Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

It's so easy to romanticize the 'violent overthrow of the ruling class' as if social collapse doesn't bring upon starvation, armed conflict, destitution, and mass instability.

Please stop with the armchair progressivism. The vast majority of American liberals aren't protecting the ruling class, they're working three jobs to feed a family for four while people like you treat them like a moral failure for making a realistic attempt against deep rooted conservatism.

How about you treat liberals like humans who have kids, family, and friends to think about, and not objects of sacrifice in your grandiose 'theories' that conveniently leaves out the mass casualties involved in the process?

[-] Soulg@ani.social 1 points 3 days ago

So... You're doing exactly what they accused you of and you admit it

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Are you a 'real leftist' who would rather attack liberals for not being not left enough before attacking conservatives?

Yes. That's what leftists do. Haven't you been paying attention?

[-] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 3 days ago

Not all leftists do that, just the obnoxious ones

[-] Soulg@ani.social 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah I bet you don't care about the immigrants being taken because some of them aren't politically aligned with you

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

They should invite Nick Fuentes on to have him discuss what other right wing heads will be exploded by his basement troll army. Maybe the hosts can explore why the right keeps killing the right.
