Banned for Liberalism lol

I pointed out the dishonest outright lies a post was making and rustled some jimmies.

Any day I rustle the jimmies of tankies is a good day.

The rest of the modlog was pretty entertaining too.

Edit: No the comment below my ban in this screenshot is not my comment. I guess that was confusing some people.

Full context: someone had posted a picture of the Obamas in a wine cellar and everyone was deriding them for being so bourgeois as to own a wine cellar (all the usual high level discourse such as "MichelleSoUgly lmaolol")

I pointed out that this was them at a private event at a restaurant that has a wine cellar and not their own personal wine cellar. Everyone then freaked out that I was "defending the Obamas" and I got banned for Liberalism.

For everyone's reference, this user is a genocide denier. While the comments that were removed in this screenshot might be mod overreach, the user has also been banned from far more reasonable communities for their trollish behaviour.
- Thanks bro

- Lmao tankies following me around now. Sorry that you didn't like that I refused to put up with your BS goal-post moving after your argument was shot down. Not my problem though.
  
  Oh and for the record, your ban wasn't even for the genocide denial. It was for being a troll and an arsehole.
  Which seems to be the same as what happened to you in this post, based on the 1:53 pm action.
  
  Not sure what your personal definition of "tankie" is, but by any rational measure @Zagorath@aussie.zone doesn't fit the bill.
  
  At first I thought you honestly might not know that the screenshot clearly shows you trolling, but then here you are trolling it up the first chance you get.

Without any knowledge of context here, that comment just looks like low grade trolling. Are you really surprised they'd kick you out?
- OP is a Habitual troll and has gotten kicked out of far more moderate communities than this.
- Genuinely curious here. What comment? As far as I saw the modlog didn't show the comment I got banned for.

  The one you screenshotted here?

As YePowerTrippingBastards would say, BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction.
Not exactly a great example of tankie nonsense.

Honestly, I prefer that to the mods making up some bullshit. If they want to have their community free from Liberal views, they're welcome to do so.
I suppose it sucks to hear "we made our community for people who disagree with you and don't want to deal with your perspective," but that is entirely their choice. You don't get to claim moral superiority and do whatever you want regardless.
I'm here in Meanwhileongrad to have a laugh pointing out hypocrisy. There's nothing hypocritical about "you are not welcome here for reasons we agreed upon and freely shared. Go away."
- You don't get to claim moral superiority and do whatever you want regardless.
  But see the thing is, I do in fact get to do that. They can ban me but I can still claim moral superiority. What do you think this whole community is about?
  
  Sorry, let me rephrase: you can claim moral superiority all you want, but that doesn't mean you can walk into their space and do whatever you want. Like it or not, is it their community.
  
  You can claim whatever you want, but that doesn't make you right.

Considering their entire deal is dunking on others Hexbear is remarkably fragile on the receiving end.

I think I’m banned too. I honest made a good faith effort. They ended up goading me into saying that protest voting was not a way to get what we want and then all my comments were deleted bc: liberal.
It’s hard not to be a sick there bc they get to do it all they want. As soon as the narrative is challenged, bam! You’re gone.
- But hey you can make fun of them here. So it all works out in the end. Let them have their circlejerk where they can exist without having their views challenged. In reality (real reality, not the rest-of-lemmy reality which is just as skewed) literally nobody likes them and most people in their lives probably think they are insufferable.

You posted on hexbear
- That was my second mistake. My first was not blocking hexbear in the first place.

How thin can someones skin possibly be?
- I'm learning that most of Lemmy has pretty thin skin. Lol.
