Lemm.ee is a bunch of new admins, so it's not longer as friendly to differing opinions as it once was.
Which a bunch of Lemmy Democrats are gonna cheer and advertise about.
Probably a good idea for us to find a new conservative community.
Don't let them silence you, guys. We should just move--not run away. Running away is what they want us to do.
EDIT: I'm not defending Nazi's or Nazi salutes. I didn't see the post and I haven't seen any describe it other than "it was a Nazi salute!" Does anyone want to actually describe the post? What did it say? Was it a meme? Was it Musk? Was it a random pic?
My favorite part might be that every comment wintermute ever left is GONE. Maybe it was a personal choice, maybe his tail is between his legs and he ran. Either way, Lemmy is a better place now. Thank you admins!
how the fuck did you all lose to a bunch of "Nazis and Fascists,"
By having less people that hate Nazi fascists than there are people that love Nazi fascists voting during an election? Seriously… this should be UNIVERSAL knowledge. Only a MONK living in the mountains wouldn’t be able to put together something so simple.
So do you think that the US is suddenly majority Nazi/Fascist?
No, but the majority of voting Americans just voted for a party whose leaders perform Nazi salutes at presidential inaugurations and don't speak out against the literal Nazis that vote for them because they want their votes. So if you vote for a party with literal Nazis in leadership roles, I'm going to start wondering if you're a Nazi. Associate with Nazis and you are a Nazi. Give power to Nazis and you might be a Nazi.
And if that’s true in your eyes, then how the fuck did you all lose to a bunch of “Nazis and Fascists
Again, do you know nothing of history? Hitler Nazis gained power by gaining public support. We already know it's possible for a populace to be so stupid as to willingly give power to fascists. All the fascists have to do is target a desperate and under-educated populace by stoking fear and hatred. That's exactly what Trump and Republicans have done. We know it's possible, and it literally happened within living memory, yet here you are pretending it's not.
