Did you seriously just picked the worst subreddit as an example of all of Reddit like the sub that this post is about didnt even exist? This is a pure straw man
This is a terrible and lazy analogy. It is more like, you are in one bar and you go to a different bar to tell people about this new bar that you like. I get that you don’t want to tell Reddit people about it. But just say that instead of having a negative analogy to discourage other people from doing it.
Well, many people can transition to other instances from .world
Yeah, but it is barely known. People here should use Reddit just to make Lemmy more known and recruit people from Reddit
I don’t think most people know about the Fediverse though
Individuals don’t exist in a vacuum though. Ideologies and systems shape behavior by setting the rules of the game and defining what gets rewarded or punished. Under capitalism, exploitation, profit-over-people, and competition are incentivized, so it does cause patterns of harm — not just isolated bad actors. That’s why we see consistent violence, poverty, and dispossession under capitalism across the globe. It’s not random individuals — it’s a system rewarding destructive behavior.
Dictatorship of the proletariat is democracy for the people
Are you saying that you can have undemocratic socialism?

And it feels very naive to believe that people change just because they are called out on it and they have to say so to save whatever is left of their reputation. It is even more naive to believe so when the guy hasn’t improve a tiny bit.
Saying that he improved and we should just shut up about it just because he said so, it is literal gaslighting dressed in “just put the other cheek” masochism and giving green light to abuser just because they lie about their supposed improvement
Admitting something because you are called out on it is the same as apologizing for saying racist shit on tv. It is all performative and wouldnt happen if people wouldnt have made it public
He didn’t admit his fault. He just validated his ideology and told other people that they don’t have to work with him.
He is pretty much normalizing abusive behavior and rationalizing it by saying that he is not politically correct and that respect is earned.
Aren’t most military personnel and cops MAGA though?
