in which PugJesus makes a post about 'solidarity' and immediately bans any anarchist he disagrees with.

I get that tankiejerk is a circlejerk comm, but the hypocracy in this post was so rank I couldn't resist commenting. Obviously I was perm banned within minutes

PJ says:

but when someone says to you “I’m an anarchist, I organize to alleviate suffering at the grassroots level”, the correct response is “Right on, comrade”, even if you think state institutions are the optimal solution.

Me:

I’m an anarchist, I organize locally. It’s a big part of my daily life. based on my experiences I have found way more common cause with so-called ‘tankies’ than liberals when it comes to actually working to oppose the shit that’s crushing us.

it turns out that he doesn't practice what he preaches at all. Obligatory:

I see PJ is still pretending to be "vaguely" leftist by banning every marxist and anarchist he can find that hasn't blocked him yet.

And banning someone for agreeing with your position is about as PTB as it's possible to get. What's he going to do next, call for trans unity and then ban anyone who's not part of his approved genders list?

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

He's complained about neopronouns in the past so I don't think that would be beneath him. I actually checked his profile and he has an old community called FediverseSlander where he complains that people called him out for his transphobia.

"I'm such an ally! I just will loudly protest that I am not transphobic, by documenting the people calling me out!"

I even have 2 dedicated posts about me, and all I did was report him for stalking my account, when he admitted it. Rent free. Meanwhile since he's been banned here, I don't think of him until he does yet another power trip and enjoy laughing at him.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Every marxist and anarchist MUST support neoliberal capitalists who don't do anything better for the general welfare of the people, and if they don't, they MUST be purged!

And banning someone for agreeing with your position is about as PTB as it’s possible to get.

Reminds me of how PugJesus ("reportedly") has been caught by several people arguing between two different people with opposite points, contradicting himself.

PJ is trying to bait principled leftists again using a meme about left unity.

classic wonder-who-thats-for who-did-this

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

Left unity against the distorters of socialism.

Quoting Lenin, but we can replace 'Marxism' with 'socialism' in this case.

Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labor movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is or seems acceptable to the bourgeoisie. All the social-chauvinists are now “Marxists” (don’t laugh!).

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

"Noted tankie bootlicker" read as: "I already made up my mind about this person"

Your objection wasn't even defending tankies, just people who have been called tankies, which includes everything from "mildly anticapitalist" to "doesn't support the police" (yes that is a real, recent example). Of course he doesn't care about solidarity or tolerance, he's a classic PTB that would rather ban people for suspected wrongthink. Or, as he'd say, a "noted histrionic powermod."

PugJesus being an asshat? Must be a day ending in y.

[-] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

PugJesus, the well known fascist?

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

PugJesus, the person who will be screenshotting this thread and pretending to not be angry about people calling him out?

[-] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not angry, you're angry! 😭

[-] mathemachristian@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

PTB reminder that Pugjesus called readsettlers.org a melodramatic screed^[https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/9554863] and thinks its "racially prejudiced"^[https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/15595477/10265004] against white people

Shout out to JonsJava who also agrees but doesn't dare mention the "anti-white racism" aloud^[https://lemmy.ml/post/44529994/24654863]

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

PTB, as always with PugJesus. Did you know he banned @db0 because db0 tried to explain facts about how communties are moderated on lemmy?

Hi pug, we know you're in the db0 matrix servers with an alt. You aren't suble. You say I'm obsessed with you while you make alts in chats to eavesdrop on them talking about you, then taddle on people in your safe spaces where you can moderate with an iron fist.

Can't wait for all the screenshots about how you're the victim when you're the only reason why people don't like you. It's not a grand conspiracy, you're just an asshole.

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Lol at the "solidarity" post in a comm created because PJ couldn't even find solidarity with the other anti-tankie comm.

Honestly, anyone voluntarily hanging out at comms PJ (or JordanLund, same thing basically ) moderates, deserves the drama

[-] commiunism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

average call for leftist unity be like

[-] Twongo@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

yea as soon as you're on his 'tankie radar' he immediately swings the banhammer no matter what you say.

it's funny though. embrace it and hope next time he also features you on meanwhileongrad :D

[-] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 week ago

Mwog continues to be a great litmus test.

If someone interacts with it or post there positively or listens to the people there, cough piefed creator, 9/10 terrible person.

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

PugJesus is a known shitlib and troll who has been banned from many communities and rightfully so. Would definitely encourage people to avoid his spaces like the plague.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

chudjesus at it again. i'm not sure why anyone still believes that account does anything in good faith.

he is obviously a scratched liberal.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 weeks ago

One of the first people I ever blocked and someone I've been side-eyeing ever since he switched from lemmy to piefed. He's generally been doing a better job, but this is definitely inline with original recipe PJ.

[-] volore@scribe.disroot.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

yooooo same, him and UniversalMonk were my first two "nope, every account you've ever made and every community they moderate need to be out of my sight forever" blocks. Fortunately he doesn't seem to spread as virulently as Monk does.

[-] UniversalMonk@anarchist.nexus 1 points 2 weeks ago

Fortunately he doesn’t seem to spread as virulently as Monk does.

OP's post had nothing to do with me or any of my communities. And exactly how do I spread "virulently"?

I mostly post in my own socialist communities. If you don't like socialism, cool. Glad you have blocked my communities, but it's silly to say I spread "virulently."

Unless of course you mean people like you who keep randomly mentioning my name all the time and keeping me feeling famous. Which is awesome. So yes, keep doing that. I like the attention that you all give me. :)

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

~~UM~~, PJ, JL. First three users I noticed making me have a negative experience on the threadiverse. Pretty much in that order.

Which I'm realizing now in my head I imagine them as the ~~three~~ straight white dudes of this experience

EDIT: I've apparently never interacted with the real UM, just a troll account

[-] UniversalMonk@anarchist.nexus 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I imagine them as the three straight white dudes of this experience

OP's post had nothing to do with me or any of my communities. I'm not straight, but nice try and bringing my sexuality into this. Are you a bigot? Because that seems a really strange thing to bring up. Hmmm, I'm suspicious of your motives here. Def sounds like bigotry to me. Why are you trying to bring my sexuality into this? Care to explain yourself?

People like you who keep randomly mentioning my name all the time def help me feeling famous though. Which is awesome! I love how much you all think of me, even tho you all blocked me. Please keep that up. I love the free rent in your head.

Thanks, friend! :)

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
