Only pedophiles defend pedophiles.
And I fucking HATE pedophiles.

Woody Allen is still a pedophile who raped one of his own young step-daughters and married another.

People who defend that shit are SICK.

    Actions don’t happen without thoughts, and actions toward change do not start without the hope that success can be had. Hope is integral to change. @normalentrance@lemmy.zip is right to have it, because that’s where ALL change starts.

    Hence the propaganda strategy illustrated above: because most civilians will not fire without being fired upon, and because armed protests are either revolutions or failures, by way of false dichotomy it presents the idea there’s nothing left between those two poles.

    I should note the finer details like specifically at whom we should shoot have been omitted from the rant; this too is by design. The whole thing is wreathed in colloquial “y’alls” (“look! I’m one of you!”) and then lathered in insults and pejoratives so that the prospective American reader gets emotionally fired up, but then stifled because no one in their right mind is going to just start shooting at nothing for no reason.

    This kind of post is ALL about emotional manipulation, nothing more, and from someone not even on this side of the globe.

    There’s plenty for us to do before we start shooting. You can keep your despair.

    Yes, IMO you can and you should, though it’s been taken care of here. In this case, the comments were reported and the community mod, JonsJava, stepped up and banned them from the comm, and said they’d notify lemmy.world admins for instance-wide banning.

    The first step is putting in a report on the affected comments; I usually use “vote manipulation, see thread” or something like that so the mod who responds can see the discussion. That’s also why I add screenshots in my related comments: while that’s not necessary, it presents the proof upfront and no one has to go looking for it. A community mod can then address it in the community itself, and they usually do.

    The second step is letting the admins of both the originating instance and the community instance know what’s going on. Here, one of the affected persons posted a follow up saying they’d contacted the admin of the instance where the vote manipulation is coming from, lemmy.org, and the community mod added in his own follow up that he was notifying the admins of lemmy.world directly. Had I not seen that I would have emailed the admins of lemmy.world myself.

    If you see it, I say point it out, no matter what. To me, and take it for what it’s worth, even if it doesn’t matter in terms of responsive mods or admins or actions taken, we guarantee that nothing will happen if we don’t report it. Maintaining a good community means that we all police ourselves to some extent; in this case it was in the form of comments and reports and contacting admins directly.

    But no matter what, whether those reports get acted on or not, know that it absolutely matters to the people who put in a good-faith comment in the expectation that they were engaging with other human commenters on a relatively level playing field: it means something that someone else has their back when others are fucking around with their comment engagement.
