    Whoops, AOC just admitted she’s… checks notes a secret Trump supporter Russian bot in office because she cares about the deaths of children. At least according to most people on Reddit/Lemmy.

      You’re the first person to make a connection between Lemmy, caring for something, and Trump/Russia. You trolling?

        If you’ve never been called a trumpist or a russian on lemmy for opposing genocide, it’s because you’ve never opposed genocide on lemmy.

          Yeah, actually amazing that the hasbara people bother with this tiny platform. It’s admittedly a small number of usernames that keep returning.

          No one’s being called a trumpist or Russian because they oppose genocide, they’re being called that because they insist on pretending that splitting the vote in favor of the fascist party won’t make the genocide they claim to oppose even worse.

            That doesn’t stand up to scrutiny when you’re talking about a tiny platform full of entrenched pro-genocide centrists. Who do you imagine this vast Russian conspiiiiiiiiiracy to say things centrists don’t like on lemmy is going to convert?

              We’re not talking about a platform of entrenched pro-genocide centrists, we’re taking about a platform of predominantly leftists. Now, many of those leftist are capable of critical thinking, so they don’t just parrot every half-baked idea they hear just because the person saying it claims to be an Authentic Communist™.

              As to who it’s supposed to convert, that much is also obvious to any leftist with critical thinking skills: impressionable young idealists. Get them to refuse to support the “pro genocide centrists” out of a noble sense of justice, and the pro-genocide fascists clinch the win. Putin wins, Netanyahu wins, the military industrial complex wins, and those poor schmucks think they stuck it to the man while the fascists laugh their way into the White House.

                  Yes, Lemmy, predominantly leftist

                  a platform of predominantly leftists. Now, many of those leftists are capable of critical thinking, so they don’t just parrot every half-baked idea they hear just because the person saying it claims to be an Authentic Communist™.
