        You welcome snipers being used on American students protesting the use of their money to fuel an ongoing genocide? You’re a monster, lol

          I never encouraged a shot or for the students to be shot.

          I do encourage common sense safety measures around the potential for violence.

        When’s the last time anyone managed to decolonize or destroy apartheid without organized violent resistance?

            You’re being down voted but you’re very right. The tankies on Lemmy are almost just as annoying as the right wingers on reddit. Quite impressive tbh.

                Yep. Lemmy.world gets the ideological Reddit crowd that can’t stay due to some enshittification-related controversy, but they still want Reddit, so they go to the largest, generalist instance.

                Anyone from Reddit with more niche interests likely already goes to leftist, programming, star trek, blahaj, or other instances that match their niche interest, which lesves Lemmy.world with everyone else.

              I’m gonna get downvotes too but you guys are right. It doesnt matter what social media forum you go.on they all end up the same in the end. Definitely plenty of brain dead takes on lemmy, it doesn’t matter where those posters came from because they ARE part of lemmy now even if people want to pretend that doesn’t count (it does).
