You laugh because you think you're being clever, not because what I said was wrong.

Again, please contribute articles to this community rather than hate. Thanks, friend!

What tricks? Advocating and voting for Socialist causes and Socialist candidates? Because I still do that. Check my post history.

Lemmy is actually starting to warm up to the idea of third parties now, so I was right all along; I was just an early adopter.

This is a World News community, not a politics community. So your scapegoating me and all things Socialist doesn't really matter here and is off-topic. I've posted World News to this World News community.

Hopefully you can post some articles here and help Lemmy content grow as well.

Thanks, friend!

I've always behaved. My entire post history is public. Most of the hate toward me started before the election, when I refused to vote for Biden, Harris, or Trump. I voted Socialist, and back then, that pissed off people. A lot. Feel free to look at articles on Lemmy in the months before the election. Many people, not just me, but many who announced they were going to vote third party, were called traitors.

Times have changed. Voting Socialist isn’t seen as nearly as "evil" as it was last year.

Probably because people finally realised it was non-voters, not third-party voters, who cost the election. Even if every third-party voter had backed Harris, she still would have lost.

I voted Socialist, proudly. I got banned and called a troll for it. Some people still won't let it go. Regardless of what I post. And it's very possible I'll even get banned in this community for my socialist leanings.

But back to the topic of the article: I do believe this news. It won't happen in near future, but I 100 percent believe that China is indeed planning to build on the moon. I think they'll be able to do it. And the people laughing, well they haven't been paying attention.

 

Interesting little excerpt from The Cleveland Gazette, an African American newspaper dated November 27, 1886.

Shortly after the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, The Cleveland Gazette suggested that the statue's torch not be lit until the United States became a free nation "in reality":

"Liberty enlightening the world," indeed! The expression makes us sick. This government is a howling farce. It can not or rather does not protect its citizens within its own borders. Shove the Bartholdi statue, torch and all, into the ocean until the "liberty" of this country is such as to make it possible for an inoffensive and industrious colored man to earn a respectable living for himself and family, without being ku-kluxed, perhaps murdered, his daughter and wife outraged, and his property destroyed. The idea of the "liberty" of this country "enlightening the world," or even Patagonia, is ridiculous in the extreme.

Funny I never see corporate, I only ever see you.

I'm not the author/creator of the piece. You're free to post your own content to help Lemmy grow if you don't like what I post. Thanks, friend!

Rudolf Rocker (1873 - 1958)

Tue Mar 25, 1873

Johann Rudolf Rocker, born on this day in 1873, was an anarchist theorist, historian, and activist, known for critical anarchist texts such as "Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice" (1938) and "Pioneers of American Freedom" (1949).

Though often described as an anarcho-syndicalist, Rocker was a self-professed anarchist without adjectives, believing that anarchist schools of thought represented "only different methods of economy" and that the first objective for anarchists was "to secure the personal and social freedom of men".

Rocker was involved in helping organize a number of labor strikes and represented the federation at the International Anarchist Congress in Amsterdam in 1907. Rocker was well-read in his lifetime - his readers included figures Thomas Mann, Albert Einstein, Herbert Read, and Bertrand Russell.

"Anarchism is no patent solution for all human problems, no Utopia of a perfect social order, as it has so often been called, since on principle it rejects all absolute schemes and concepts."

- Rudolf Rocker


or lemmy.today as it too has a “serious” conservatve community

Lemmy.today has an Anarchism community now. I know, because I just created it. I did the whole "Be the change you wanna see" kinda thing. :)

I totally agree. I put off continuing my education for a long time because of costs and demands on my time. Now I have the time, and I was able to lower costs. And downloading free educational books has made this all amazing (and affordable).

This is awesome news!

Not sure what you're trying to imply. This is a global news article.

PTB for sure. Guys sounds like a jerk anyway, so at least now you know to avoid him.

You win the internets! lmao

YDI. Mods didn't think it was a good fit, and they removed it without any drama or personal stuff.

Not only that, but you have been very vocal about your distaste of .world in the past. So not sure why you'd decide to post there since you dislike how the mods there act. Then you come here to complain that they act exactly how you say they always act.
