I made 1 comment ever on r/trump which I am not even subbed to…
Imagine being brandished an enemy over a misunderstanding, and banned from an entire community. Especially via an automated method they admit isnt perfect? Now I must appeal? For what again? – That is Kill All Others mentality, and I am labeled the Other.
For context: I try to be a centrist, a proper one with proper devil’s advocation. I usually end up voting Democrat, but I like moderate Democrats and progressive Republicans. (But to be fair, even r/centrist over on Reddit is very… American-Left ideology). I think case-by-case application of ideologies to scenarios is best.
Here is them muting me for my shocked reply:
EDIT: Just wanted to specify with the above picture, I do not believe any side is correct, hence my use of quotation marks. Choosing sides at all, especially in a two-party system, is a mess and we have been warned this many times by many different successful leaders/philosophers. Even our founding fathers warned this… I would say this to an alt-right just as quickly as I do the alt-left.
I think people are concluding you are right wing because your post history is full of pro-Trump apologia. You are walking a fine line on this topic. Nobody wants right wingers on Lemmy, so if you are coming across as a Trump supporter, or at the very least a Trump apologist, then people, including me, are obviously gonna be suspicious of your claimed political position.
And for the record, you have no right to say whatever you want on Reddit, or on this instance. dbzer0 is not a “free speech” instance, it’s an Anarchist instance. If you don’t understand the difference, then see this post for some light reading. FYI, you are expected to follow both the community and/or instance rules wherever you are posting. If you want to run your own instance and set your own rules, then go for it. Until that time, try to focus on something more productive than making excuses for Trump and being a “both-sides” bro.
