There’s only one mod of !mop@quokk.au

I commented on their meme about Kamala Harris being just as likely to commit war crimes as Trump with an admittedly snarky, sarcastic reply that basically said “some of us wanted to whatever we could, as little as it might be, instead of watching the world burn. Must feel real morally superior safe behind that keyboard”

They banned me from the community for it.

Kinda funny for a community that bills itself as “free from the influence of .ml”

    it’s also anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist. so it makes perfect sense that liberal nonsense in defense of a cop (ACAB) who supports Israeli crimes against humanity would not be welcome. it isn’t a comm that’s friendly towards the United States government or their politicians, so why go there to simp? kamala is a piece of shit, and you should be ashamed for defending her.

      who defended her? I defended the people who chose to vote for her instead of abstaining. Big fucking difference

      And this is literally the entire problem. Y’all can’t tell the difference between people who support shitty policies, and people who do what little is within their power to reduce harm

        The idea of a ballot being capable of reducing the harm in a system rooted in colonial domination and exploitation, white supremacy, hetero-patriarchy, and capitalism is an extraordinary exaggeration. There is no person whose lives aren’t impacted everyday by these systems of oppression, but instead of coded reformism and coercive “get out the vote” campaigns towards a “safer” form of settler colonialism, we’re asking “what is the real and tragic harm and danger associated with perpetuating colonial power and what can be done to end it?”

        Harm reduction is harmful

        Voting as harm reduction does more harm than good. Accepting reforms through voting makes people settle for a partial goal; it is a concession. From this position of compromise, the state entrenches its position, and it becomes more difficult to push further, for voters fear losing their partial gains. Accepting harm reduction also divides the movement, because some will be satisfied with the crumbs, while others want it all (see the split at the ZAD). Harm reduction also assumes that the harm (the government) cannot be removed entirely, which is an argument that there can be no anarchy.

        Voting is not harm reduction

        For the vast majority of issues, there’s no difference between the political parties. They are all the parties of business, climate destruction, deportation, incarceration, police, surveillance, drone strikes, sacred site desecration, et cetera. By getting you to believe that there is a lesser of two evils, the state dampens your desire for abolishing it, because you are meant to believe that things will be worse if you don’t vote and support a political party. Look at the fact that the George Floyd Rebellion occurred under Trump, where liberals, and progressives, and leftists didn’t get what they want, where the harm was supposedly greater, than under Biden, where those same people lie dormant, accepting the lesser evil world as a blessed reprieve.

              the fuck are you talking about? the meme is literally a shot at the people who supported her candidacy and argue today that things wouldn’t be how they are now under Trump.

              whatever, this isn’t what this sub is for. done with this particular thread
