Edit: sorry, the above was a bit mean. What I meant is that crossposting doesn’t necessarily mean that the other posts where by the user who made the crosspost.
Also, people are allowed to post in communities where they don’t agree with the other participants on 100% of issues. You’re acting like anarchism is a religion from which Unruffled should be excommunicated for interacting with so-called “tankies”.
Nothing leftist about .ml or hexbear though. They are just imperial bootlickers that simp for authoritarian regimes that would put their pronouns-ass in a concentration camp the moment they reveal it.
I don’t see why this matters. It’s a crosspost unruffled didn’t post anything to the .ml community. It would be much more productive if your main point was to actually criticize the content itself
edit I didn’t know about instance history before making a lemmy account so…
Ah ok understandable, admins aren’t marked outside the instance itself so that’s an easy mistake
also using gangs to do your bidding as a leader is inherently anti-communist.
The collectivos predate the Bolivarian Revolution and are often to the left of the government on various issues. Calling them “gangs” is literally just accepting the racist framing of the western media.
I don’t see how this framing could make them look “based” then, it just looks insanely racist, but oh well, I’m not white enough to believe this could be spun as anything good or “making them look based”.
When most people who are actually leftists see “leftist bike gang hunts Trump supporters” coming from a racist liberal rag their first reaction is “lmao based, they must be cool” not “they are gangs doing the bidding of the ‘evil dictator’”.
The title says “Liberal newspaper”, that’s quite enough information to me to assume that the use of the word “gang” here is racist slander.
However, I acknowledge that not everyone has a lot of experience reading this kind of media critically from the perspective I’m discussing, so I’m accepting that you were mistaken and weren’t being racist. /genuine
Edit: to reply to your edit:
Like yeah I made a mistake, sorry about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Props for owning up to it. In the future, I find it helpful to refrain from speaking on topics you don’t really know much about until you’re willing to stand on that initial claim. Being able to admit fault is already a great step, but to go further it helps to reduce the number of times that that’s even called for.
The racist framing comes from a racist liberal publication, so we know when we read it that it is untrue. Therefore, the group of people being accused of being a “gang” look cool to us.
To clarify, I think the positive spin here is for us to acknowledge that the article’s framing is racist, but that WE can read it without perceiving being accused of being in a “gang” as an automatically negative thing.
I’m not sure if I’m expressing this very well, sorry. I think it’s like how you see people who commit justified acts of resistance often being called “terrorists” by the media, so among leftists “terrorism” no longer has an automatic negative connotation because we associate it with resistance. However, we understand that the intent from the media in using this term is still to convey the negative connotation.
Don’t worry about it, but if you are new to Lemmy maybe just lurk for a while until you get the vibe of different communities, before jumping to slagging people off.

They’re literally the admin of dbzer0, how are they not welcome on a dbzer0 community
And posting on .ml and hexbear? What are we doing here?

Being actually leftist in a leftist space instead of western liberals larping?

Real leftist embrace differences like pronouns.
Are you trolling, have you actually been on the site? Like WTF you even talking about.
You just sound like you are blindly swallowing axis.world slander. But you do you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Personally I’d just get mad at the racism but maybe I’m not white enough to understand this.
2 hours ago you were referring to them NEGATIVELY as gangs completely without irony.
Because I didn’t do my research before then… Like yeah I made a mistake, sorry about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lmao, glad Hexbear and ML are the devil to you but the racist framing of the bloody Telegraph can be taken at face value.
Maybe I’m too autistic or not white enough to understand this but I don’t see how this racist framing makes them “look based”.
They are hunting for Trump supporters, that’s what is based.
The racist framing comes from a racist liberal publication, so we know when we read it that it is untrue. Therefore, the group of people being accused of being a “gang” look cool to us.
If you say so. Personally I’m not a fan of trying to spin a positive on literal racism.
To clarify, I think the positive spin here is for us to acknowledge that the article’s framing is racist, but that WE can read it without perceiving being accused of being in a “gang” as an automatically negative thing.

Why does getting slagged off sound pleasurable? Is it supposed to be pleasurable?
Depends what you’re into I guess.

Sorry that I didn’t know about instance history at length before I made a lemmy account I guess?
Do you understand the irony of this when you’ve written off 100% of ML and Hexbear communities in this thread?
It’s easy to make a new one and export/import your subs.
