DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated……

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

    What was your theory for how refusing to support the Democrats was going to produce an improvement in the world, then? Tell me.

      I can’t speak for others. I was hoping their candidate would back off of supporting Israel and their sitting president would follow suit. it didn’t happen so I don’t know why you’d think I or anyone else would be pleased, or think it worked, or that that Democrats aren’t responsible for their own failures

        Super realistic. Absolute master stroke. And look how well it worked. I apologize for ever have criticized you or your strategy.

            I’m literally criticizing the strategy you just explained to me.

            Edit: Oh, also, I’m criticizing some of the people I quoted up above who said that Trump might actually be better on Israel and similar things. I linked to them so you can see they are not imaginary. But, you don’t necessarily have to be responsible for their viewpoint. I am also criticizing your viewpoint you just expressed to me, also, though.

              edit:

              those comments were made after the election and things did change. they are not evidence those positions were held prior to the election. you’re just wrong

                You really want me to take more time digging up more comments about this?

                Okay sure.

                • https://ponder.cat/comment/627352 “My point is that Liberals need to drop the idea that Trump would be materially worse than Harris on Gaza”
                • https://ponder.cat/comment/173626 “Every threat that Trump poses is already fulfilled by Joe Biden. … He is doing everything Netanyahu tells him to. It cannot get much worse.”
                • https://ponder.cat/comment/157591 “I dont see how it could possibly be worse. Im not gonna say I know what trump ever means for sure, but to me ‘finish the job’ means get their retribution for a couple months and be done with it. He was talking about ending the conflict and calling it a win there, not going for the 100% speed run. Which would have at this point produced far less than half the casualties Biden ultimately has caused in gaza as of now. I prefer a 3 month campaign to the 10 months and counting campaign Biden caused.”

                They were actually easier to find, starting at the opposite end of the search list, than the other ones more recently. I think Trump getting elected means that some of these accounts have calmed down or moved on to other things, as the horror of what they were advocating has come to pass, whereas before the election it was a typhoon of this stuff and it was easier to depart from reality in their predictions.

                Edit: Took the colons away so the links work

                  i couldn’t find your second comment. the link breaks on my side. the first one is from cowbee, who definitely didn’t disappear and who is still quite active on this topic. the last one is from someone who disappeared BEFORE the election, so also does not fit yourcriteria

                  you are grasping at straws. instead of tilting at windmills, why don’t you criticize trump, as you expect leftists not to criticize the democrats?

                    Whee look at the goalposts go lol

                    See them fly

                    I have ascended, though. I have no need to run in pursuit of them any further. I like how we totally moved away from the direct discussion of how you’re still defending this dogshit strategy now that the exact horror that me and many other people predicted from it, has come to pass. Well done! I really can’t emphasize enough how proud I am of your strategy, or how well it has worked.

                    I edited the URLs so the links work.

                I made an edit just now (before seeing your response), specifically tying it back to the place this discussion started.

                Also, asking what you think so I can clarify why that, also, is wrong, is not at all moving the goalposts. It’s just scoring one goal and then another one.
