Man I just got dog piled on an argument over voting. I get it’s a hot topic in this community but having people call me a fascist and telling me to die in Barbara pit is a fucking mood killer. Is voting really deserving of such hate? Was it an argument that got too heated? Is it normal to experience this from fellow comrades over a small disagreement or is the issue really as defining of a person as it was made to seem?
You should check out the “discussion” if you haven’t already, they said some very funny lib things. Their final signoff was * chef’s kiss *

(And big surprise, they weren’t “dogpiled” for a slight disagreement, but for actively being pro-fash and pro-genocide, smugly ignorant, and refusing to actually listen to anything anyone said, all while demanding civility from everyone else while not returning it in kind.)
About what I expected. Mods were insanely patient to only give them a few day temp, i’ve been permbanned from so many places just for my uncompromising antifascism, not just on lemmy but also on basically every platform I join. Libs get one whiff of that and go into a bloodrage.
