It’s both, and you need to zoom out and see the big picture, the one where they coexist because one necessitates the other, to really appreciate the problem

(ID: aerial photos from South Africa and India showing the vast disparity between rich and poor existing directly next to each other)

It was just a matter of time (and don’t be mistaken, he will act on it), but the general population sadly won’t give a fuck (that’s the only purpose we serve those in power, always have - a litmus test to see how comfortable the general population is with inflicting suffering on to and even exterminating groups of people), if anything a lot more than just maga people will be cheering this shit on, or at the very least “passively” supporting it (even if they don’t think they are, saying shit like “stupid people shouldn’t breed”* is the same eugenicist shit).

The usage of IQ as a measure of anything at all is in itself deeply eugenicist (so ableist, but also racist, classist, and sexist), but try telling people that and see how quickly you get dogpiled by so so many desperate to cling on to the sense of superiority an arbitrary number (which often came from an online quiz, though tbf, those are about as valid as a professionally administered one) gives them. It’s so problematic on so many levels, and serves no purpose but to divide and oppress.

I agree, it really is fucking scary…

E: *like several variations in the replies to this very post, people seriously need to do better.

People are still questioning why??

How unsurprisingly capitalistic of the CCP…

This. How people are only now suddenly “discovering” he’s a nazi (or knew, but for whatever reason are only now drawing the line), when he’s been spouting this shit for years at this point, is a bit ridiculous…

I haven’t debated them though? I called them transphobes, left 3 links for the sake of anyone who might be reading their nonsense and want some correct information, blocked them all, and reported the issue.

Those are not inherently the same,

Yes, they are, like I said, you don’t have to mean it to be transphobic for it to be transphobic. People who are ignorant and get called out who don’t want to be transphobes will admit ignorance, apologise, and improve their behaviour. Anything else makes a person a transphobe, no matter how uncomfortable that makes you.

Yes, an anonymous internet forum, which is open to and used by the public.

I’m really not sure what point you’re trying to make - just let transphobes be? Because fuck that.

I think I remember from the 196 mess that Ada mentioned being able to see reports that haven’t been acted on, but I’m not sure about those that were acted on, even if that action is ignoring. Either way, I’m glad there are meta spaces to bring it up either way!

Wahey, good riddance! Thanks for the update.

Thanks for tagging in the relevant people, and for confirming that if the mod in question deleted the reports, they probably wouldn’t reach the admin level.

I really hope the other admins act as decisively as db0.

Fantastic. We can only hope that the lemm.ee team take a similar stance against this user, but I won’t hold my breath.

I posted here because this is the instance the mod uses, but you’re absolutely right, I missed that it wasn’t hosted on that instance, and will be making a relevant post in our own meta community, thanks

Transphobia is transphobia whether the person doing it means for it to be or not.

I blocked all 3 people in that conversation, and the community it came from, that doesn’t mean I’m just going to sit quietly and let a transphobic mod get their way and foster their own little transphobic community, especially since I assume it is against the rules of the instance they’re on.

We need to call out this shit publicly, not just look the other way.

And yet? I want everybody to shut up about it because we have far more pressing issues at hand. When it comes to women’s sports the public has made up their mind and the facts don’t matter.

So do I, which is why I reported those comments to be removed, but then realised that the only mod in the community agrees, and so they wouldn’t only not be removed, but more of them would be encouraged, which I think is unacceptable, especially if the instance hosting them has rules against bigotry, which is what this is.

I reported the comments, but the sole mod openly saying they agree with them is why I made this post, assuming the reports go to them ,and they will blatantly just ignore them

E: I have now also after realising the mod is from lmmy.ee but the community is hosted on db0, crossposted to our own meta
