It's clear to me, and should be to anyone paying attention, that your real aim is to sew discontent, to create suspicion among those who dare to question the duopoly you so desperately cling to.
Why would I be "cosplaying" as a leftist?! Have you seen the hateful remarks I get on here? I'd actually get LESS hate if I were a MAGA because at least conservatives would like me. But they hate me too! lol
You didn't actually look at the my c/socialist Lemmy community that I created and mod, did you?
You think by throwing out baseless accusations and labeling me as a "MAGA cosplaying as a leftist," you can undermine the truth I stand for and the principles I hold?
Let me tell you something: your attempts to paint me as a fraud only reveal your own fear—fear of those of us who refuse to bow to the two-headed snake that you worship.
I am not here to play dress-up; I’m here to expose the lie that says we only have two choices in this so-called democracy.
If that shakes you, then I must be doing something right. :)
Very ready with the accusations of what my beliefs are for someone who is very upset they were accused of anything. And of course the projection, you are upset, panicking, writing long responses because I've hit on the truth. You are a MAGA campaigning for Donald.
Ah, brother, I see you’re doubling down on your attempts to smear and discredit me.
It’s an old trick—try to rile up your opponent, throw labels at them, and hope something sticks.
Let’s be clear, friend: I’m not the one panicking here. I stand firm in my beliefs, unshaken by the desperate attempts of those who cling to the duopoly like it’s their lifeline.
You’re rattled because I refuse to bow to the false choice between two sides of the same capitalist coin. You're upset and mad, all because I am not voting for your candidate, so you are trying to make people think that I am voting Trump. You know that lots of people vote third party, right? There are NOT just two choices. Which is my point.
Your insistence on painting me as a MAGA supporter is nothing more than a weak attempt to stifle dissent and keep people in line with your status quo.
I actually think that you know that I'm not MAGA. You're just saying it to try to sway others. You're being an agent of the duopoly. You don't want things to change.
But the truth is, I’m here to challenge that, to disrupt your comfortable narrative, and to remind folks that real change doesn’t come from playing along with the same tired game—it comes from standing up, speaking out, and breaking the chains that bind us to this broken system.
So keep throwing your accusations and of course, your downvotes; I’ll keep fighting for the revolution. Hey, have ya checked out my socialist Lemmy community yet? Let me know if you think MAGA would be a big fan of that community.
This response is pretty weird.
If standing up for my beliefs and not fitting into your narrow expectations makes me "weird," then I’ll gladly embrace it. Far better than blindly following the herd. :)
K
Glad you agree. Thank you!
Weird you’d downvote someone you think is agreeing with you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh, are downvotes and upvotes important to you in conversations where you respond with "k"?
I just like calling out bullshit mah dude, don’t take it personally.
I'm not taking it personally, and I also enjoy calling out bullshit when I see it. :)
