Anarchism

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules:
- Be respectful
- Don't be a nazi
- Argue about the point and not the person
- This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

What’s up with the downvotes?
Trash source
God awful source.
Professional thought minders want to control what you see. They can vote but don't speak because the dishonestly of their thought control would be uncovered the second their motives enter conversation.
Once you see what you are not allowed to know you now know what you need to know. Look for other high positive comment high downvote threads and you'll catch the pattern.
I'll spell it out. At least one type of supressed info that might be at play here. There are minders here who work for the democrat party (like the organization). So if the democrats are in office you can't criticize anything the government does even on an anarchy forum. Anyone here should know there isn't a decent person in either of the political parties. Decency transcends working in that system. Yet a democrat government is beyond reproach on an anarchy forum even though they aren't really our allies. Really they are within reproach in conversation because the commenters are real people and we know what's up. But the workers bees can't have it and they target suppression marked information with either bots or manual voting.
So that's why there are downvotes. Someone in the current government did that. And there are thoughtless cowards here who think they have more responsibility to defend a left of center government (kind of) than to defend community self organization (which should be the higher value).
I wouldn’t assume that is the case, because Lemmy is still very new and very small, too small to bother with, at least for now. Though the fediverse is on their radar, so with enough popularity, they eventually will bother with Lemmy.
A few of the downvotes were from accounts that are over a year old, yet never post or comment. I suspect they’re usually alt accounts people use so they can downvote more than once. As far as I’m concerned they’re spam accounts that should be banned.
Homeland Security bootlickers, maybe.
