They're been quiet for seventy days now.
The Harris and Trump promoters also suddenly went quiet the day after the election.
What did you expect? The election cycle do be like that.

Americans are going into debt to buy groceries. Here's why those balances can be difficult to pay down
Who does MSNBC think it’s addressing, or in other words, who does MSNBC think is the target audience for this article? The same people who were shamed for eating avocado toast seven years ago?
By shopping with cash instead of credit, that can help limit spending to an exact amount, McClary said.
For debtors who feel stuck, talking to a nonprofit credit counseling agency can help with budgeting and managing debt, he said.
Oh thanks, why didn’t we think of these brilliant insights!

Banned from most (all?) of .ml for *checks notes* a post on my home instance
Looks like you got site banned, bud. Maybe they had enough of you making shitposts about how lemmy.world should defederate from lemmy.ml. I know I'm tired of seeing them.
Maybe your shitposting about lemmy.ml while at the same time reposting lemmy.ml's memes to lemmy.world was the last straw. Is shit-stirring inter-Lemmy drama really what you want to be doing with your life?

Or Trump keeps extending it or the newly formed Congress rolls back the law or the corrupt Supreme Court changes its mind or or or.
They entire US government is a game of oligarchic Calvinball.

Corporate media are owned by the oligarchs for whom fascism serves. Fascism is a false revolution that keeps the capitalist class in power.
Michael Parenti, Backshirts and Reds:
Divested of its ideological and organizational paraphernalia, fascism is nothing more than a final solution to the class struggle, the totalistic submergence and exploitation of democratic forces for the benefit and profit of higher financial circles.

For a group that considers .world to be Reddit 2.0 and a "CIA propaganda front" they seem to get awfully mad whenever it comes up

It is owned by a private Chinese company, not the Chinese government. It’s just another corporate social media platform. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaohongshu

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem
Reply in thread
Only admins can do site bans. What you're seeing is a hacky/temporary feature of the upcoming Lemmy v19.4, of which lemmy.ml is running the pre-release: when an admin bans someone from the site (temp or otherwise), it also automatically bans them from any community they have ever participated in. Lemmy.ml has always been the "beta" instance for new releases.

Sorry for being late to the party, but did you know that you can just block them? Hope this helps!

Trumpism: It’s Coming From the Suburbs
You read a fantastic article—which I have recommended dozens of times over the last several years—and came away with the worst conclusion. The zoning didn’t create the racism, the racism created the zoning; just as the zoning didn’t create the wealth inequality, wealth inequality created the zoning.
Trumpism is coming from petit bourgeois suburburbanites, but suburbia is not the cause of Trumpism. This is class war, not a zoning war.

No way they’d risk him getting up on the stand
Defendants don’t get up on the stand if they want any chance of a not guilt verdict.
and even less likely they’d want to try their luck getting twelve people to convict.
It’s not so unlikely. It ought to be, but it isn’t.

Censorship
I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."
And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed
Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."
"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."
And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

90% of the time these assertions are BS, so evidence or it didn’t happen.

If you want to defend Zionism, you'll have better luck on corporate social media, which are generally aligned with US foreign policy. Lemmy was created specifically as an alternative to that.

You did comment there. You commented apologia for the Israeli genocidal settler-colonial state's apartheid, specifically a physical apartheid wall. And your comment was removed, and you were site banned for... looks like 45-ish days.
