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.
Our party presented the program for upcoming elections and the emphasis is heavily on taxing rich people. Kind of a bummer tbh.
Any word on what’s happening in Niger? Last I heard, they kicked the French out, but there was also a matter of yankee military presence. Which AFAIK did notget kicked out
They were trying to kick the Americans out, but they were staying. But now Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso are creating their own joint anti-insurgency force to combat terrorism in the region, so they’re moving away from working together with the US.
