I don’t want to take the time to prove you my research and shit

Of course. “I’ve done my own research and come to a conclusion that contradicts Science. No, I will not share any of it, just trust that I am right and scientists are wrong.” You know you are unable to defend your “conclusion” because you have nothing to back it up.

Barely anyone check, so if a thread is full of people saying the same thing, one will assume it’s the truth but it might not be

Which is exactly why I’m calling out your claims.

You’re going off topic here

No, this is very much on topic. You’ve claimed that you’ve received bans for no reason, for simply saying it’s important to keep an open mind about banning trans people in sports. It took very little time to reach the obvious conclusion that you don’t care about inequality in sports or you’d be concerned about the inequality money provides (you don’t), and you don’t care about how many other problems trying to fix that would create because trying to fix the issue of trans people in sports (who don’t have an outsized advantage) creates significantly more problems, especially to a marginalized group of people (although as always it also overflows into cis people who don’t properly fit into the cookie cutter mold).

You’re trying to claim you’re Just Asking Questions, but it takes very little time interacting with you for your views to become abundantly clear. You are not nearly as clever or subtle as you think.

ChatGPT says any bans you received were justified, and while you like to feign innocence any reasonable person who saw the posts in question would agree with you getting moderated.

And make sure you protest in ways the fascists approve of: no violence (the facists wouldn’t like that) and make sure you’re waving American flags (the fascists like to see American flags).

I’ll have to disagree with you on this. Based on my research I did not find conclusive evidence on this.

Well based on my research if we stop arguing about trans people in sports and just let people play (because sports don’t actually matter) everyone on earth will become billionaires!

It’s easy to say things, I really do not care what some rando on the Internet came up with by “doing their own research” unless they have receipts. That’s how we got anti-vaxxers and flat earthers.

That’s a well known problem. Sadly, not much we can do to fix it without creating other problems

So we know this is a problem but fixing it isn’t important. Trans people in sports we don’t know is a problem, trying to “fix” it is creating other problems, so why is that more important to focus on?

Either everything is moderated and censored, or nothing. No in between can exist.

That is the argument you were presenting, yes. I’m glad we agree that that is absurd.

but what I describe will end up happening

Nevermind, here you are making the statement you just argued against.

It depends on the instance and mods I think

Of course it does. Anyone can start their own instance, if there is an issue it is a problem with that instance, not Lemmy as a whole.

The Internet is not obsessed with speed running just because there exists websites on it obsessed with speed running.

Well we’re disagreeing right now, so logically only one of us can be “the normal way” yet neither of us are banned…

man or women categories is a debate and shouldn’t be allowed by default because of inequalities between the individuals, and true equality can never be reached.

Studies have found the only Olympic events in which trans women might have an advantage over cis women is mid range sprints. There has been no advantage shown in the short or long sprint events nor any other categories.

If you want to talk about equality in sports the biggest inequality that affects outcomes is money. Athletes with more money poured into them for training and equipment have a significant advantage over other athletes.

Depends on the things you say

So not “pretty much anything” then.

You get censored and banned for pretty much anything. Lemmy is no exception and pretty obviously like that.

Seeing as I have not been banned for anything I have to disagree.

3. Your opposition has empathy

How nice of you to suppress yourselves in order to save the administration the effort of having to do so.

1. They don’t need infiltrators. They’ll just show images and videos of some other violent protest from years ago that happened somewhere else and claim it’s happening now. (like they’ve done before. I’m sure they already have the videos selected and ready to go.)
2. Videos of you beating the crap out of anyone talking violence will be shown without context and lied about who is being targeted to claim the protest is being violent.

It does not matter what you do, they will call you violent and treat you as such. I don’t know if Lemmy has an actual community for the extreme right MAGAs, but go look at the Reddit r/conservative community on any day and see how many posts are calling the current protest violent. Reality has a Liberal bias so they do not care what it says, they will listen chronic liars that tell them what they want to believe is true.

On X, formerly Twitter, the Department of Defense’s Rapid Response account posted a video that appeared to show burning, graffitied police cars during protests in Los Angeles this week.

However, the fact-checking website Snopes said the image showed protests in Los Angeles following the death of George Floyd in May 2020.

Once you use violence, they will use that to justify using violence and putting down the movement.

And surely the people who lie about everything wouldn’t lie about violence happening anyway to justify using violence…

This administration wants this.

This administration wants people not to resist them. Failing that people resisting them verbally but in no practical manner will do just fine.

Out the airlock they go.

I didn’t steer shit, first of all.

First of all, never said or implied you did.

Let us enjoy our thing.

So you do enjoy bringing up religion in every possible conversation?
(and can I just point out the irony of you saying “let us enjoy our thing” when your thing it literally shitting on other people’s thing?)

Second, do you really believe that if you just ignore things they go away?

Sir, this is a Wendys meme about math.

As if people are not out there bible thumping every single day?

and we come in here and try to enjoy a moment of reflecting on the ridiculousness of those beliefs memes away from all that bullshit and someone has to come in here and bring it up to bitch about it anyway. hence, I’m here to tell them to shut the fuck up.

i really feel like your input has been the truly rude part of this conversation.

My input has been the simple fact that people who insist on making every conversation about religion are fucking exhausting to everyone else.

I have not subbed to any religious or anti-religious communities, and yet people seem to think it needs to be a part of every discussion. You’d think out of all people atheists wouldn’t be the ones doing that shit yet here we are. If you want to talk about that shit go those communities and you will find plenty of like minded people.

Do you reply to memes about video games with your thoughts on covid?

sounds like you haven’t had much experience of having to sit through religious people spout bullshit at you every single day.

You mean like what’s happening in this thread? Someone had a joke that had nothing to do with religion, and here we are talking about religious bullshit because someone can’t let any opportunity pass without mentioning religion.

Again: if you’re tired of people spouting religious bullshit at you all day I would expect you to not try to steer even more conversations towards religion.

I would just expect someone who doesn’t like religion to not want to have conversations about it, instead of bringing it up at every vaguely related opportunity.

No ID saying they are ICE, so they very well could be protestors! You have no way of knowing and feel threatened…
