My god, the evil foreigners have opinions on our politics! Who gives a fuck where they're from. You got banned for being a nuisance.

You also forgot the first rule of a united front, it has to be explicitly anti-fascist. Democrats are not anti-fascist, anti-fascists do not support fascist states like Israel. A united front has hard red lines that cannot be crossed DESPITE its ideological hodgepodge. You are only part of the united front so long as you do not cross those lines.

ydi. how is it relevant where someone lives (unless the comm is only for americans, which it isn't), except to imply that because they aren't american, they can't be trusted? the blight on lemmy world isn't the token socialists being critical of us politics, it's the democrats who can't accept totally legit criticisms of their party, and jump directly to mccarthyism, which helps prove the criticism is valid imo.

I have 3 things to say:

1. This is evidence? I can't understand how this user 'admits' whatever you are claiming.

2. As far I have read, the community info doesn't mention anything about being US only or US centric.

3. It is very xenophobic of you to think that a person not from the US must be a propagandist. We are people too. And the US meddled in our affairs first, and is still meddling.

YDM

But he neither admits nor even actually implies he dies not live in the US.

Anyone who disagrees with me is a foreign agent sapping and impurifying our precious bodily fluids.

YDI.

You can't talk about LSC without talking about American politics (America is the capitalist hegemon ffs). There isnt another country on the planet that is more representative of late stage capitalism.

I'm failing to see how those words imply that they don't live in the US. I think it's an expression that someone from a country could use while talking to someone from the same country.

Gee... you "caught" somebody not living in the US?

That must have been quite the eye-opener for you.

Why is the mods location relevant? Are they actively trying to leave the impressiony that they are US based?

PTB anyway

The funniest part is that I was banned for rule 6 which includes accusing another user of being a foreign propagandist, even though that is literally what one of the mods is doing.

Well this is silly. The mod of that comm certainly seems to enjoy getting in fights. So modlog says you are banned for Rule 6 which relates to calling someone Tankie, Russian Bot, etc.

Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, ‘paid by Putin,’ Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

I think implying they were lying about where they are living does sort of fall under that, but its a reach.

That said, they also didn't say they were not from US. Just that you wouldnt be able to see the point because you're from the US. Nonsense, and obviously logically inconsistent, but not an admission. They also might be an immigrant of some kind, their post history mentions travelling in Texas and other states, so they have by their own words at least been to the US.

I would say its a wash. Ban was a bit of a powertrip unless they revise their rule 6 to explicitly include implications of false identity, but also this is right at the top of the rules and jumping to they're a foreign propagandist is silly on a global platform.

That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

Why not just block the comm and move on? From what I've seen of your profile I can't imagine a sub with that rule is going to be a good time for you.

I don't see how that shows the mod is a foreign propagandist.

Every permutation of LSC I've ever seen has been extremely defeatist to the point of coming off as vaguely accelerationist, though. Wouldn't be surprised if that's an intern at the GOP.

Pigs, shit, etc.

The late stage capitalism sub is a tankie shitstain on this server. I really don't understand why the admins let these idiots run wild here.
