Been waiting my entire life to read a headline like that.
Mamdani already caved on everything that would make him left.
The lefta centralist who is not an obvious crook is about to take power (in a city).Until we start talking about seizing the means of production and wealth redistribution, we are nowhere near the left. Still very firmly on the right.
Yea, I am a big fan of Mamdani, but seeing the wider state of “the left” in the US, I do not think he will be able to have the impact we would all like to see. I sort of see him as another AOC/Bernie for now, at least until he starts successfully achieving material changes.
We’ll see. At least with a few of his promises, they are things that he will have the power to implement on his own. If he hasn’t attempted them in the first month, it will be a very bad sign.
2035: In other news, the newly reanimated body of Karl Marx has been elected to the Virginia House of Representatives
Lemmy.ml: Until he’s willing to CLEARLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY call it a “genocide” and STRONGLY indicate support for trans rights he’s STILL FUCKING DEAD TO ME I’m voting for Jill Stein
LoL. With your reputation on here, absolutely no one is going to assume you’re arguing in good faith on moving left.
Your continued harassment of people in leftist spaces and ongoing astroturfing implies you care very deeply. I can’t imagine why you would hang around places you’re not welcome, if you didn’t care.
It’s not “harassment” to disagree, even disagree in a pointed fashion.
Like if someone came onto lemmy.world and made a joke about how bad the moderation is, that’s not “harassment.” That’s just them speaking their mind. In any reasonable space that kind of thing is allowed. I know that on lemmy.ml, it is sometimes not. Maybe in this case it is not? I don’t know. Maybe it is, let’s see.
I’m well aware that lemmy.ml as a community doesn’t tolerate being spoken to in such a disobedient fashion or criticized. I think that’s silly. My comment was sincerely not badly intended, just more along the lines of “wake up you guys are being ridiculous” (both about the screaming intoleration of anyone in American politics who seems like they might be poised to make some kind of progress, and also now about the defensive hivemind behavior that gets all bent out of shape about anyone who disagrees with the herd about that or various other issues).
Up to you man. It was meant as a one-off comment, but of course in standard lemmy.ml fashion now we have to have a big conversation about it where you continue to comment hostility to try to discourage anyone from speaking their mind about that kind of thing in the future. The purpose is to silence dissent. I probably won’t really go back and forth about it (what even would be the point?), but that’s my intent in making these comments. If I was trying to harass I would probably come to .ml more often, but I don’t, I only found this one because it was a crosspost.
Is this still you trying to act nonchalant, or are you switching modes now?
I can’t stop you from continuing to be an ass and pushing establishment propaganda. You can’t stop me from pointing out how that’s obliterated your credibility on this platform. Works both ways, but it seems like weird way to spend your time trying to act like you’re a voice of reason in front of an audience you’ve already embarrassed yourself in front of many times.

I still remember when you claimed with a straight face that Israel was using nuclear weapons in Syria, and the only reason I didn’t know about it was because I was confused by Western propaganda.

You’re probably right that as far as the present community’s viewpoint, I am “embarrassing myself” and you are “pointing out” things and so on. That’s because the present community’s viewpoint is detached from reality and based on groupthink, confident presentations, and hostility to outsiders and not much else.
You guys are welcome to your “community,” I guess. I’ve made the point and then belabored it a little bit, I don’t see the point in a continued back and forth so I won’t waste more time.
Every great journey starts with a few small steps. It is a hike, not a teleporter. Small actions and discussions towards the future.
Incorrect. Revolution is immediate. And the people going hungry and rationing their insulin need immediate change.
hhahahahahahah fat chance. even if mamdani is a real G here, they wont let him get away with too much. dont get me wrong i like him so far, its just that usians have an overton window that’s completely out of whack.
i know yall not used to this but its one demsoc in one city, bro.
