    i’m genuinely sorry if this post darkened your day, I don’t like upsetting people unnecessarily and I totally understand that it can be exhausting, but for me, it’s not just politics, there is a solid chunk of the world who want me to suffer and die, and I need to do everything in my power to try and build momentum to remove those people from power.

    much love & solidarity to you

      You must be confused, posting in a shitpost community on lemmy of all places is literally doing fuck all, you’re not reaching out to anyone, all you’re doing is getting upvotes from the echo chamber

      There’s someone on facebook right now posting in the take back america group that transgender lefties are gay and retarded and getting the same upvotes, it means nothing, you’re not changing anyones mind

      to be 100% clear nobody around here is right wing or conservative, you’ve chased them all away and you even scare most centre right and centre people as well

      you know how trump has this method of madness called flooding the zone? you guys have this thing of flooding the lemmy, doesn’t matter if I’m in pics for non-political pictures of things, memes for non-political memes, or even a damn gardening comm, somehow you always end up posting about american politics and a lot of us are sick of it

            you know you can just make your own community that bans political posts, or indeed, anything you don’t like, right?

              Hey! Yes if you look at my profile you’ll see I’ve done just this for some comms of mine. You can click on my name to see my profile.

              However I have no interest in creating a second Lemmy Shitpost purely to stop rabid Anti-Americanisms, maybe one day but not today.

              Many of us would just prefer it if you could take a fuckin hint and stop spamming anti-American shit all over the place.

              Hope your day is going great and you can consider others when you throw your litter on the ground instead of telling them to go make another planet :)
