    I have gained a lot of sympathy for the comrades who post here from lemmy.ml. That place is rancid holy smokes, the entire thread is full of some of the most bazinga brain libs I’ve seen in my life. Extremely weird understanding of politics, double standards for what counts as censorship, absolutely 0 effort to try to understand what Dessalines is trying to say, no consistency in terms in general. I’m so glad I only have to see the 1/400 people that come here rather than existing in that space. Literally worse than /r/neoliberal.
