Strikes are organized through unions not hashtags.

i blame this person no matter what
Too much blame on the individual and not enough blame on the system
I agree. Bibi is a symptom, not the actual malady.

Me trying to explain decentralized social media to anyone who will listen
The Fediverse is a concept that seems to me as real as the Internet or the World Wide Web.

The post is sloppy.
Not only is the image AI-generated, but the premise is confused and unsubstantiated.
Please consider removal, due to the abundance of concerning problems.

Marxism represents a diverse range, from council communism to campism.
Anarchists should consider cooperating with Marxists who share generally common criticisms of authority and the state, but should not feel obligated to seek relations with authoritarians and statists, with whom they cannot possibly find adequate common ground.

Strikes require unity across a workforce.
If some workers in a local context work instead of participating in a strike, then the business is not pressured to acquiesce, and the sacrifice is in vain.
Striking in any case results in lost pay, which promotes fear and threatens survival. Solidarity improves morale and saves lives.
Fostering unity and solidarity is among the essential functions of a union.

Discuss salaries!
Discussing wages is constructive in general, but I am afraid many workplaces remain lacking in adequate solidarity for the tactic to be successful.
Beware of those who will try to bring down others instead of helping to lift everyone together.

The Democratic Party is not coming to save us.
No one is coming to save us.
We can be saved only by doing the work to take care of each other, to protect each other, and to relate to each other as members of community.

Am I an anarchist if I’m involved in electoral politics?
Vote or not, and don't judge others.
Anarchists waste too much energy debating electoralism, even while our numbers are too small alone to make any difference.
Progressive victories only come when the working class is organized well enough to press masses of workers to vote for progressive tickets.

Employers have all the power, though. It is they who may reliably hide behind the law for protection. Laws that protect employees are rare to be passed and rarer to be enforced.

Breaking News!
No one is being fooled.
We see right through your little ploy.
Reporting that is so heavily fact based obviously could not have come from CNN.

The state is not the only system of consolidated power.
The press obviously is tightly controlled by its wealthy owners.

I survived college without becoming a liberal
I feel like it presents leftists as being as smug and snobbish as reactionaries.

Ooh got one 'every accusation is a confession' type reason
Lemmygrad is not for everyone. In fact, it is a heavily insulated corner of the Fediverse. If you do not belong, then you lost nothing by being made unwelcome. Many instances are not federated with Lemmygrad, and I am surprised slightly that federation is even maintained with Lemmy.zip.

Your own personal rights are not central to your acting as a moderator.
As a moderator, you represent the interests of the community.
I understand your position, but not everyone considers the matter to be equally unambiguous.

You are a disrespectful buffoon who abuses language to make yourself seem righteous.
You talk a big talk about the right to have your own opinion, but everyone with an opinion other than yours you hold in outright contempt.

Got banned from Lemmy.ml for "trolling through an LLM"

I agree with the essence of your objections, but being misguided or misinformed is not in itself trolling, especially if the opportunity remains open for discussion and education.
