Looks like we upset a few too many 
residents over at lemmy.ca. I didn’t see a post about this on here, so I thought I’d go ahead and make one.
2 of 4 reasons why are basically just PPB lol, and a third is for calling for executions of landlords

that actually sound well-written if you disregard the fact that China is an oppressive regime
Translation; “I don’t know how to counter these arguments, so I’ll just assume its propaganda and move on”
Sounds like some sort of unfalsifiable orthodoxy to me…
a liberal’s thought process consists of inventing a conclusion and selectively interpreting evidence
They rarely seem to do that much.

CNN told me China bad, don’t need any more information then that
Arguments I agree with = well-thought-out
Arguments I disagree with = Chinese propaganda

“Whew, those dastardly communists almost had me there with that instructive and enlightening argument. Thankfully my
hegemonic capitalist programmingFACTS AND LOGIC kicked in and I rejected their arguments immediately without further thought.”How do they not realize what an incredible self-own that shit is lmao
“I have come to a predetermined conclusion and will not change my mind no matter the evidence because China is inherently bad (totally not racist btw)”

Kill more Japanese prime ministers

Holeeeeeeeee shit.
Your honor, the evidence that I’m guilty sounds well founded only if you disregard the fact that I’m not guilty.
You might as well stick your fingers in your ears and start drooling
the ball flew so far over their head that it left near earth orbit.
they did the thing
while the other half parrots more Chinese propaganda (that actually sound well-written if you disregard the fact that China is an oppressive regime).
Under liberalism, there are no good or bad actions, only good and bad teams
half of them replies with huge and ugly emojis
Our emojis may be huge due to the lemmy bug (I’ve been trying to refrain posting some outside of the instance due to that), but ugly ?!
How dare them, we have the best emojis
They mean ppb
Me: Mom I want expertise on China.
Mom: We’ve already got a China expert at home.
The China expert at home:
50% of posts are well-written arguments? Not a bad ratio, frankly. Good posts, guys.
Like all leftists we’re pathetically vulnerable to engaging in lively debate about economics.
This really needs to be a site tagline.
When I saw that thread last night, I was expecting the links to the “offenses” to be wild. But then it was just bathroom humor, and a singular call to execute landlords, which I found hilarious.
I just do not understand the lack of humor of a lot of people, on these instances. You’d swear their lives are devoid of happiness.
A lot of those are pretexts for defederating I think
What rubs them the wrong way is our position on various issues (despite them being far more deeply argued and sourced than the paltry answers we usually get)
Also, admittedly and to a lesser degree, likely the fact we’re numerous and terminally online so anytime something dunkable is posted even the small subset of online hexbear users that see it appear on their feed and interact must look like an army to them
They defederated us for being perfect posters
We did everything right and they defederated us, folks
They hate Trump because he dismisses them and posts better than them, not because the valid reasons. They hate us for the same reason
Guilty. I will happily reply to every single comment in a thread without even really thinking about it. People think I’m stalking them and it’s like “nah, I’ve just made twenty comments in every single post that was posted today, that’s all”.
people dont do this?
it’s a poster’s duty

Step 1: Execute landlords
Step 2: Land doesn’t actually get properly distributed and a new landlord rises
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit?
(Step 5: Revolution all over again)
Edit: /s in case it’s not clear. sigh Poe’s Law sucks 🤦♂️
Uhh excuse me I’m sorry what was step 2 again??

they also purposefully obscure and ignore the distinction between personal property (held for use) and private property (held for profit)
In my experience, it has genuinely not occurred to most liberals that those are different things, but then when presented with the distinction they pretend not to have heard it.
My experience is that liberals, upon hearing the difference, will start conflating the two. Like they’ll say their house is both personal and private, since they intend to use it as an investment.
What a miserable way to see housing
The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry.
Guaranteed most of them have some interesting opinions on the indigenous people of Canada and how they ended up in their current situation.
Most of them are starlight tourguides.
Calls China an Oppressive Regime
Based in country that swore fealty to a pedophile enabling racist royal family which leeches off the people of the UK and imprisons people standing against monarchy.
The UK complaining about China is really rich given the way their courts work, their actual literal king and unelected house of parliament, ASBOs, and the UK being far and away the most exhaustively surveilled country in the world.

Don’t forget the pogroms and genocide against the Natives

The whole point is that whoever you’re replying to has descended in to silly chud shit and there’s no longer any point engaging with their “ideas”, but apparently our refined linguistic achievements are too complex.
O Canada my home

Calling for exections of landlords

Aight give me your take on the Falklands War
deleted by creator
Yes, agree.
The only thing that irks me is that there’s only 6k britbongs living in those islands, and feels like rule-of-thumb kicking britbongs back to the UK always seem like the correct thing to do. But yes, they live there.
Lmao @ the “not all landlords are bad” comments.
Not all landlords are bad, but all people under 30 can’t afford to live in Canadian citys.
It’s almost as if landlordism requires participating in a system of exploitation no matter how “nice” the individual may be
deleted by creator
Idiots falling for that lazy argument still.
Somewhat like cops, not every individual is an evil, Machiavellian monster harboring Hitlerian-esque notions of governance and law. However, their existence continues to perpetuate a (horrific) status quo, AND NOBODY IS BORN A COP OR LANDLORD.
Don’t like being called a parasitic bastard? Quit then fucker lmao
Well, federation was an interesting experiment. Lemmygrad and hexbear

yeah its kind of shocking how bare the sidebars are on most of the places I’ve looked
SMDH no respect for the rule of law in the lemmyverse.

We’re totally denying any validity to their position with a vulgar and grotesque reply. It’s about as rude as you can get, which is no less than most of them deserve.
That is the one thing the admins of those instances could really enforce, just ban people for usage of it and be done with it, but no instead ban 20k people.
Special shoutouts to @AccountVerificationBot@hexbear.net, @duderium@hexbear.net, @Sasuke@hexbear.net, @GaveUp@hexbear.net (and probably also @Frank@hexbear.net), and @GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net for being called out specifically.
For the record I think I only posted pigpoopballs two or three times and stopped when people here on hexbear started complaining about it.
Edit: all violence is bad except for structural violence that funds my treats. We have to help the mom-and-pop landlords fight the evil woke global elitist landlords. All revolutions inevitably destroy themselves which is why I am literally a peasant living on a manor and capitalism never happened (since it is human nature and if anything the nature of the universe (who is God except The Great Investor? What was the Big Bang except a massive and highly profitable investment?)), excuse me now while I have my eighth meltdown about China for the day.
lol that just makes it even funnier
You all went out bullying Canadians without me.
Special shoutouts to . . . @Sasuke@hexbear.net
hiii <3
Lol i didn’t even DO ANYTHING. I’ve been so polite compared to how rude I am usually
It is an indictment of my posting that I wasn’t mentioned there. Should have posted harder
Self-crit, you love to see it

How did I never realize we had a Shuba emote? Now I gotta figure out what other VTuber emotes I can sneak in…
I like how you just threw me in there. : )
You were in there riffing on Kkklanada with GaveUp, so I figured you were being implicitly included there.
Goddamn I need to step up my game
my posting game is below par
Adding to the discussion = spending hours arguing with me over my basic misunderstanding of the world until I declare victory by citing The Economist and calling you a tankie
And dragging on an argument one point at a time, completely disconnected from the pace of the thread, because I only have like 3 arguments that are all memorized slogans, and have to space them out for dramatic effect
I never bought into this whole “Canada” thing anyway
No fucking way that’s a real country

Good post.
In a way, it’s depressing that it’s not “just Reddit” that was top-down silencing any narratives that challenge the mainstream consensus. It’s happening now in a more distributed fashion where smaller admins of instances decide that “we don’t need any different viewpoints” and defederate
That’s how Reddit used to operate on a sub-by-sub basis. People would get banned from subs they’d never even visited, because the admins were angry at them posting in associated subs.
The petty feudal mod atmosphere trickled up to the administration over time, and eventually the admins just adopted a Mods But Sitewide approach to governance.
Admittedly, this was after numerous subs began to actively and deliberately fuck with the money.
But… what do you even want? Redditors gonna Redditor. Even Hexbear went through a period of arbitrarily banning people over petty ego driven shit some years back.
Can we at hexbear really be mad at an instance blocking us when we are literally whitelisting like 10 instances, effectively blacklisting the rest of them?
is anyone mad? the defederation posts are comedy gold
Yes, cause it is sensible to see how a feature interacts with your community. This is the reform approach with feedback and decision making by the community. It is also a good practice to reflect and tune what you do.
