in which PugJesus makes a post about ‘solidarity’ and immediately bans any anarchist he disagrees with.

I get that tankiejerk is a circlejerk comm, but the hypocracy in this post was so rank I couldn’t resist commenting. Obviously I was perm banned within minutes

PJ says:

but when someone says to you “I’m an anarchist, I organize to alleviate suffering at the grassroots level”, the correct response is “Right on, comrade”, even if you think state institutions are the optimal solution.

Me:

I’m an anarchist, I organize locally. It’s a big part of my daily life. based on my experiences I have found way more common cause with so-called ‘tankies’ than liberals when it comes to actually working to oppose the shit that’s crushing us.

it turns out that he doesn’t practice what he preaches at all. Obligatory:

      EDIT: User updated to mention that he didn’t interact with me. I think I was a bit too harsh in saying he was lying, when it looks like he was just mistaken. So now all good.

      Never once have I ever told anyone to kill themselves. Not on Lemmy. Not on Reddit. Not in real life. Ever. In college I worked suicide hotline for 2 hours every single night for minimum wage, after my regular job, and I am still shook by some of my work there.

      So what you are saying is so far outside my personality set, that I can only think you must have some ulterior motive by saying this.

      You are straight outright lying. Please provide proof. Many hate for the shit that I actually do and say, so there’s no reason to lie about what I do. You are straight up lying right now. I’ve never even implied anyone to kill themselves.

      Also, please provide proof that I was posting “everywhere” that you were a nazi. I don’t even recall ever seeing your name before this comment.

      Hmm, how sure are you that it was UM, and not one of the (many) troll impersonation accounts over the past few years? He responded to your comment but since you have him blocked I’ll repost it below, since I think you would want to see it:

      I’m not suggesting UM is some sort of angel, but a lot of impersonation accounts were spun up to get him banned from LW since he was advocating for third party in the last US election. The libs were losing their mind over it at the time. I’d be quite surprised if it was from one of his real accounts.

        Thank you for following up. I’m pretty easy-going about most of the false things said about me, and can laugh them off. But suicide is something I have very personal experience with in my family, so that comment got me more irked than usual.

        As infamous as my name is, even most of the imposters are banned by now (I think). So I find it very hard to believe that even someone faking my username would have been able to follow the poster around and say that stuff for long. Until I see a screenshot, I’m calling BS on the entire story.

          All the posts are gone now. This was about 9 months ago so I haven’t kept any records. I don’t know how that fits into any timelines. Again, I’m sorry about this genuine misunderstanding

            Hey brother, no worries, no harm. Thanks for being open enough to look into it and update things. I made plenty of enemies on Lemmy because I advocate for free speech, third-party voting, socialism, and diversity of opinions. And they got even more angry when they found out they couldn’t bully me off of Lemmy. So they started troll accounts, misrepresent what I say and stand for, etc.

            I’m glad you’re not one of those enemies. I got no beef with you and thank you for the updates.

        probably was a spin up troll account then. it’s also something i take very seriously since i come from a similar training and background. i just assumed it was the genuine article since it was the first interaction i had. if you can tell me which UMs are the real ones i’ll unblock
