If you think a Presidential Medal of Freedom is in any way close to those stories you must be a weirdo.

I prefer Connections.
Well that BMW i4 is almost as smooth as this Marlboro cigarette that I’m enjoying right now.
I tell you, nothing helps relax you more than unwinding with a Marlboro cigarette. The rich full flavour and slow toasted leaves with the extra fine filter ensures I get the best experience. Every time.
Marlboro. It’s what Lemmy users prefer™
Isn’t he gay?
You can’t be gay and a devout Christian. God said so.
Is there an iOS equivalent of this setup?
I have a list of things that transcend invention and are actually some of humans greatest achievements:
Fair enough, younger people do things that may not have been the best idea in hindsight.
Glad it’s going well for you both in any case.
A little creepy but glad it worked out for you.
It’s fre
Free sha voc a doo.
Just install the neuralink chip into your brain bro, it doesn’t even hurt, just don’t value privacy.

“Who is it?”
“Goons”

Hot. No sugar. Black as my heart.
Yes I was an emo during my teenage years, how did you guess?
I suppose we disagree then.
I think the case can be made that certain political ideologies are radical regardless of whether the society at large considers them radical or not.
How else do we distinguish what is truly radical and what is not then?
Yeah America isn’t the world and I don’t listen to the opinions of people who are ignorant on this topic (to be clear I’m not directing that at you) what I’m saying is that people certainly do hold the view you’ve described; that a Social Democrat is radical left, but that simply is not the case when you have some cursory knowledge of political theory (I assume you agree with this).
Political labels are just a heuristic to shortcut longer conversations.
Sure fidelity is lost but time saved is nice. I wouldn’t be worried using them so long as you know what you mean when you use them.
It sounds like you’re conflating socialism with deprivation of individual liberties, if you can’t conceive of a socialist state where that isn’t the case then I’m not sure what to say.
Modern socialists that aren’t authoritarian aren’t advocating for that.
However a socialist state and maximising individual liberties are in opposition to each other. How can we expect the best outcome for the majority without curbing certain individual rights? Like for example, firearm ownership.
If you agree that capitalism must be dismantled then you’re a leftist in the true sense.
If you think there are redeeming qualities to capitalism then you’re not leftist.
Lemmy in my experience is just leftists arguing with each other about the best way to dismantle capitalism.
Anyone who thinks capitalism is salvageable gets berated, in my opinion, rightly so.
I don’t really care one way or another, I have my own political views.
I was more trying to unpack why this person kept getting banned.
A lot of people who claim to be leftist aren’t actually leftist and this can be shocking.
I don’t think many consider a Social Democrat radical.
Social Democrats don’t wish to dismantle Capitalism. Hardly a radical take.
You’re probably not leftist if you’re getting banned for expressing your views.
Caveat: I haven’t read your comment history but I’m going to now and I’ll come back and edit this comment with a more informed view.
Edit: I’ve read a lot of your comments and as best I can tell you’re a Social Democrat and that’s probably the issue. Feel free to correct me.
Yes make it public.
No real reason not to.
