You’ll notice that my interactions with the community prior have been sparse; the community clearly does not live up to its self-description of “a place for undogmatic shitposting”, but there are some points presented in the bounded ideology that I see reason in and there are some posts/comments there that I see needing reason added to them. Your quote of mine and the following screenshot are not in disagreement with each other. My loyalty is not to an in-group. My loyalty is to reality. My alliance is with the allies of truth, and the content of the dogma is partially true so I considered the community a partial ally with whom we shared some common goals and enemies. I have no in-group, and my out-group is comprised of those who arbitrarily out-group other people and those who are obdurate for the sake of maintaining an ideological identity.

Propaganda is still propaganda even if the views and message are both factually and morally correct. 

It wasn’t a troll comment; it was earnestly pointing out a contradiction of values. It doesn’t make sense to demean falsehoods to one crowd and turn and peddle synthetic messages to another crowd. Just because something is or is not in a rule somewhere does not make it inherently right or wrong, and I spoke out against two things that I saw to be wrong.

Conversely, the pro-AI crowd should stop disrespecting their audience by cross-contaminating the feeds of real and zealous imitation. I will call a spade a spade and I will content that is lazy, impersonal, and manipulative to be lazy, impersonal, and manipulative (lazy content can still be good if done personally plus correctly). It’s neither respectful nor in good faith to an audience to expect them to be placated and content with a façade such as that. I’d rather the standard for content here not be degraded to such a value.

I genuinely don’t understand Rule 3’s relevance to this situation. It kind of just sounds like “If you’re not with me 100% then you’re against me 100%”?

I don’t need a reduced ban. As you may have inferred before, I didn’t plan to engage much with the community in the future anyway since it is uncomfortably dogmatic. The silencing I received to dissent also drove away any chance of me wanting to integrate with that particular in-group. I more so wanted to preserve the reaction of power when truth is spoken to it.

Posting here for preservation's sake

Image in removed comment was the attached Palpatine image. Curious to see if the same admin mod would remove these screenshots if I crosspost them to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com , which they also admin and mod. Would I get a fair trial there or will my dissenting and others’ be silenced?

You can’t say you’re against disinfo if you’re knowing and intentionally promulgating it and abetting its usage. They also didn’t even remove the Reddit watermark.

This is why I don’t assign identities unto myself, because you criticize one action done wrong by leaders of an ideology or movement and bam! you’re shut out of it completely. They’ve lost the aid of an ally and progress is impeded by being shorted a participant trying to correct the course.

Too cynical or too cyclical?

The artistry is a bit sloppy but I thought it being rough around the edges was fitting for the message/expression.

Consider the phrase "No one could ever love this creature" repeated 28 times to be a form of poetry.

I feel bad for the innocent worm that is forever entwined in this.

This should be the sticking point to invoke the 25th. Officials need to be loud and make a stink about how Trump can’t tell fact from clear fiction and therefore cannot perform the duties of the office. Make the people of America see the image on the news everyday and make those on his side say out loud if they think it’s fake or real. Half of the masses will never be convinced that he lacks the morality to lead until they’re already in his camps. This is the earliest clear as day moment to act on that which cannot be held to subjective scrutiny or partisanship.

OP is a native of Albany, NY, where everybody refers to hamburgers as steamed hams, even when it comes to their patented family recipes. This is for when OP must meet with other people who are not familiar with the regional dialect, even those from Utica, and are preparing for an unforgettable luncheon.

Sometimes you just gotta eat a sub that way if it’s so stuffed that it would fall apart otherwise

At first, I thought the original original post was just arbitrarily using the Pokémon franchise to platform for transgender people, but the OP has modified a pre-fab model of a male Pikachu to turn it into a female Pikachu by adding the two bumps at the end of the tail. The gender dimorphism between Pikachu is fairly obscure knowledge so I can see why somebody might miss the point of that post.

It seems like some websites think that the more the users know about the quality of the content, the worse it is for the website’s profit
