I think the tribalism, purity testing, and mod power tripping is far worse here than reddit. I was banned from memes.ml two days ago for pointing out it’s in bad taste to celebrate the deaths of American soliders, and I totally don’t support at all what Americans are doing in Iran or Palestine. After a couple back and forths I was banned for spam. I was responding to comments, explaining my position, not spamming. Then to top it off, I was banned from privacy.ml yesterday. I saw a user I was arguing with the previous day using an argument I taught them. I literally explained something to them in a DM, and they were using it correctly against someone else, and I was again banned for “spam.” A single silly “I’m proud of you” comment. Granted it was obvious that they clearly didn’t like me but still, you can’t get caught doing that and not expect me to say something. Very immature.

What I find funny about it all is they’re banning someone who’s on their team. I’m on board with most of the stereotypical .ml ideology (I don’t think we’d get along OP), but some users, and especially those with power, have no tolerance for any dissent. I don’t even think I was dissenting, just saying the evil facist bootlicking troops probably aren’t as evil as they want them to be, so don’t cheer when they die. Is that really too much for some people?

I’m so proud of you

I am not defending thugs, I’m defending misled kids

Yeah, you’re right. No 18 year old from America should be raping pillaging and murdering their way across the middle east.

Don’t you think that’s worse than condemning them?

What? If some American kid is raping pillaging and murdering anywhere they should be punished for those crimes.

They have a duty to refuse illegal orders, I am not supporting war crimes

Check your privilege bud

Ignorant doesn’t mean stupid, it means they don’t know something.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. You sound like a Christian damning the ignorant to hell because they never heard about Jesus and never thought to look. They don’t know. No 18 year old from middle America is going to find information on US imperialism unless they look for it, and there is nothing in their lives suggesting they look for it.

They don’t know they’re the fucking boot. I won’t give them praise but I will give them sympathy. They don’t know what they signed up for. They’re kids born into an echo chamber of American propaganda. They don’t know what they’re doing. Nobody at that age does. Don’t celebrate their deaths, they’re victims too.

You’re making everyone here look like a callous asshole. Your mistake is assuming those who sign up have a good understanding of what they’re signing up for. They don’t know. Their sin is ignorance. I will never celebrate the death of someone in their early 20s or younger who doesn’t know any better and you shouldn’t either.

They’re just recycling the same franchises, which is fine, but asking full price for what feels like an expansion is annoying. Tears of the kingdom is a good example.
