Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)?
as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.
edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don't know the reason since i'm not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he's still up for the candidate) supporters. don't know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.
You're viewing a single thread.
You haven't seen any of the "genocide Joe" trolls?
yes I think the bigger problem here is right wing propagandists masquerading as lefties.
My honest interpretation is that there are actually very few right wing propagandists masquerading as lefties, but they are very effective at bringing hapless idiot lefties to their narrative.
yeah, some mix of that too for sure.
Are you referring to Lemmy.world?
Look, one of the more active ones. Tell us again how Cuba is a great example of communism working as intended.
Why do you believe that it isn't? Under what pretext does my being a Marxist make me right-wing?
Oh, I'm not restarting this conversation with you. You've showed your colors when you told me that an article that explains my stance wasn't an explanation of my stance. Only reason you and others like you sre not blocked is because I get a chuckle out of seeing your nonsense, plus I like to help pointing it out for others that might not know it's nonsense.
I asked you what your definition of poverty was, and you shared an article with no reference to definition, only to rate of poverty. I wanted to know how you were defining poverty, as we can track metrics over time and analyze external factors. You were uninterested.
You threw a fit and logged off.
Ok, I'll spell it out for you, maybe you're just that dense. This is a quote from the link, right below the title. The literal subtitle of the article: "seven out of 10 Cubans have stopped eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner due to lack of money or shortages".
If that's not an explanation, then I'm sorry, maybe we have different definitions for the word. So there you go. My definition of poverty in this case is people not having food to eat.
Again, this was at the top of the article, which you'd have seen if you were interested, which you're obviously not. As we've already established, only pretending to be a "lefty"
Cuba is currently running into issues due to liberalization measures, and betting harder on tourism. This is compounded by the ongoing trade embargo, which hit especially hard during COVID.
Seems like Cuba is now doing worse as it has introduced liberalization measures.
It has since applied to join BRICS, which should see increased trade.
Well? What happened? Thought it was a good example? And not another failure in which the people are suffering while the "president" is a rich fuck?
And for those that aren't aware, this "liberalization" had nothing to do with personal freedoms, it's talking about the economy. And it started 30 years ago. And it's getting worse, not better, despite all that time. Any day now, however...

The system overall is good. The structure is more democratic, LGBTQ rights are better protected than the US by law, and social safety nets are generous. Facing temporary economic struggles in the context of a global pandemic compounded by an ongoing fascist trade embargo does not mean the Cuban system overall is bad. As an example, what would you do?

Why would liberalization mean personal freedoms? Cuba already has high levels of personal freedoms, moreso than America, of course I am referring to introducing more Capitalist market reforms.
Either way, Cuba was steadily improving over time, even beating the US in life expectancy, with lower starvation rates. Their latest slump is again due to being hit particularly hard by COVID.
Oh you mean ml?
What on Earth are you talking about?
They’ve all but vanished after Biden dropped out of the race.
you've stopped seeing comments about Biden once he became irrelevant?
No, I stopped seeing”genocide Joe” comments. People still discuss Biden, he’s sill President.
until he fucks off soon. the whole point of genocide Joe comments is that people don't want four more years of him.
but of course thankfully Harris says she'll help the genocide too so we'll see how that goes.
Shh stop pointing out basic reality to liberals, they’ll get scared and start sending you death threats
They're popping back up again recently, attacking Harris of course
Too difficult to come up with something for Harris that rolls off the tongue as easily as “Genocide Joe.”
I've seen "Holocaust Harris" coming into fashion.
That's a bad name, the Holocaust refers to a specific genocide.
Never said it was a good one, just that I have seen it.
Careful with that troll word, there are mods that will ban you for saying it. They tell you to report trolls to them, so I did (a very obvious troll) and I got banned. Pretty neat you can't appeal, and you can't find out which mod did it either.
Modlogs?
Just show mod. Not which mod.
Doesn't show what mod did it.
Use the photon UI on desktop.
Just tried it, still doesn't show which mod is banning or deleting.
Mine didn't show that. Interesting
Thank you. I appreciate it.
You can only see which mod did it if you're an admin
What are you taking about? Lemmy.world loves to ban those pointing out genocide supporters. Cause totally every one who wishes Israel to stop the genocide is a dirty republican. At least that's how the mods treat them
Because it's a bad faith argument.
There's no candidate that opposes Israel's actions.
It's certainly okay, even preferable, to be critical of our administration, but it serves no point to bring it up in a discussion of the election, because it serves only to de-rail the conversation when any candidate who matters supports the genocide.
