This is truly atrocious behavior.
The above is the Twitter link with the person who is complaining about it.
I know that /r/communism has been run by Maoist mods for a long time, and I know that u/smokeuptheweed has absolute bonkers takes.
I wish we had an alternative to /r/communism on Reddit, but I guess we have to grow that here.
I only posted there once and got insta banned. My post was very mild, didn’t say anything controversial one way or another. Asked the mods what I did wrong but no one replied.
Keep in mind that on such platforms (including on Lemmy) any mod can ban you if they disagree with what you say.
That’s a shame.
Fed behavior fr
Yeah…
Yeah, I remember some sinonat being ableist about the HK riots, saying that they were caused because of autism, which he called a “mental illness”
Horrible behavior.
Fighting fascism by abondoning victims of fascism
Eyyup.
it’s important to remember autism was first clinically described by a Soviet child psychologist named Grunya Sukhareva.
Yes.
“on reddit” found your problem. Get the fuck off reddit, the fact alone that calls to action go against TOS makes it inherently counterrevolutionary.
I’d say we should engage with Reddit, but purely with the intention of getting people off of Reddit. If the working class is on Reddit more than Lemmy, then we need to agitate there and bring them to alternatives where reactionaries cannot control the narrative.
If you have the patience and tolerance absolutely!
I do have the patience for Lemmy.ml and the libs from Lemmy.world, etc, but Reddit is a bit much…
Gotcha
Reddit is genuinely a repulsive place where the worst people with the worst takes go to jerk each other off.
Yeah…
“We need to be ableist to fight fascism”. Tf
Average quality reddit thinking
What Reddit thinming does to a mf
Absolutely repulsive. White supremacy masquerading as communism.
So it’s National Bolshevism?
Absolutely.
They seem to be conflating autism with nazi science, this is some of the most stupid shit ive ever read in my entire life
15 year old moderator team, feds, trots, wreckers or all of the above, you decide.
From what I gather they seem to think Autism didnt exist before capitalism, I dunno what to say other than how much of an obvious falsehood that is - capitalism gave us structures of education more accessible to the masses and things like biopower, and study into psychology within that structure.
Of course we would only start to understand these things with investigation, merely defining something through research doesnt mean that thing never existed before you observed it, its peak chauvinism to suggest otherwise.
edit:
I wish we had an alternative to /r/communism on Reddit, but I guess we have to grow that here.
Genuinally just stop using reddit comrade, no one of substance posts on it anymore - its firmly captured by the CIA and has direct ties to the american upper class, you’re being drip fed a steady stream of american propoganda, anti-communism and tolerable to the upper class leftism (because this is what it produces, alienation at the aboslute insane takes allowed to be posted on ‘communist’ spaces)
I also guarentee 90% of any discussion on the frontpage is american chatbots programmed to be positive towards foreign policy objectives and hostile to far-left posters. It creates the illusion of consensus.
Absolutely.
Deeply reactionary and awful takes, combined with the Gonzaloites having domination over the Reddit subs related to Marxism, makes it pretty much unusable.
This is intentional. The left cultural sphere in the west is dominated by fringe nutter groups and libs with red face paint. If you cant erase it, best make incoherent.
I do see the problems of developing an anti-imperialist movement in the belly of empire resulting in incoherent and reactionary opportunism, plus Reddit by nature prunes the leftists and keeps those that do more harm to the left than help, like the Gonzaloites.
literally on /r/communism right now is a post talking about how the shining path is actually the best example of communism ever conceived lol…
how did /r/communism get captured by some of the most niche and shunned sects of communism?
This happened after the “tankie purge”. I have seen it even in real life organizations for instance, “off putting” and “not a good look” ml’s get pushed aside for socdems or just one well liked leadership individual (who follows a specific label) manages to bully out those who oppose them.
I would guess that by banning the ML subreddits and users like in GenZhou and GenZedong, the ones left are the MLMpMs and other ultraleftists.
Yeah, the main Communism sub too.
For sure. Not sure if these spaces can be reclaimed, but they are useful to Reddit because they make communism seem terrible.
Exactly.
I have personal experience with autism, so I know that the person in question is using misconception of autism as excuse for their misbehaviors. Although autistic people have problems with impairment of social skills, language skills, motor skills, or cognitive skills, autistic people in general lack intention to harm others. Autistic label does not allow you to break rules in Western countries because real autistic people are under greater punishment and monitoring for rule-breaking behaviors. The Western authority only allows rule-breaking behaviors by people with autistic label when they create the paranoid misconception that the rebellion by actual autistic people are indication that the autistic people are spoiled when the rebellion actually originated from self-defense from abusive authority.
Some Western schools like the Parkdale C.I. high school of Toronto, Canada, allows violence by a psychopath with stereotypical Aryan appearance against well-behaved autistic students in the autistic program in 2011. They claim that the psychopath can freely assault prospective disabled students, especially against Hong Kong immigrants, because that psychopath have the autistic diagnosis and do not know right from wrong. To further the illusion that they are caring for autistic students, they give highly disruptive accommodation that the autistic students do not need and many obviously toys and conforts that does nothing to alleviate the constant violence against autistic students.
The suspicious in this case is that the Parkdale school teachers and social workers had punished non-psychopathic autistic students for self-defense under the claim that self-defense is unprovoked violence. In their ableist double standard, they actively support bullying, harassment, violence against autistic students with no consequence no matter how disturbing the ableism are to other students. They always lied that self-defense by autistic students are unprovoked punishment and that pressuring to stop ableism are harassment.
The corrupted authority in the school had falsely reported that the autistic students engage in the same disruptive behaviors as the Aryan psychopath while hiding the disruptive behaviors of the psychopath itself to create paranoid fear and misconception of autism. The racist white Parkdale school authority allegedly can get away from this ableism because they use other students for the haraassment and violence against autistic students although they directly make false reports to scapegoat autistic students. They also have the support of the victim of Communism and the superintendent of that region of the city for their criminal acts and slanders.
I definitely see and understand your interpretation, but I think you’re being unnecessarily harsh. 99 percent of the time, autistic spectrum disorder isn’t used as an excuse, it’s an explanation. It also feels like you’re arguing on one hand, that autistic people “deserve” treatment and abuse, and on the second half of your comment, you say that they don’t.
Edit: Nevermind, I reread your comment. My mistake.
Yeh
Ultra-leftism is insufferable.
Me too, thanks.
Honestly, it’s rife on Reddit.
Ughhhh wtf… I don’t know what the supposed rule break was but handling that properly would be easy. . Explaining what comrade did wrong and then mute em if they do that again.
Seems like abelist wannabe mods ;-;
I think it’s well beyond abelist wannabe at this point. This is going into eugenics territory.
smokeuptheweed is the worst. He’s the head mod.
the fascists running reddit have proven they will never let a based communist community exist again
