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.

[banned]

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

    I see PJ is still pretending to be “vaguely” leftist by banning every marxist and anarchist he can find that hasn’t blocked him yet.

    And banning someone for agreeing with your position is about as PTB as it’s possible to get. What’s he going to do next, call for trans unity and then ban anyone who’s not part of his approved genders list?

      Every marxist and anarchist MUST support neoliberal capitalists who don’t do anything better for the general welfare of the people, and if they don’t, they MUST be purged!

      And banning someone for agreeing with your position is about as PTB as it’s possible to get.

      Reminds me of how PugJesus (“reportedly”) has been caught by several people arguing between two different people with opposite points, contradicting himself.

      He’s complained about neopronouns in the past so I don’t think that would be beneath him. I actually checked his profile and he has an old community called FediverseSlander where he complains that people called him out for his transphobia.

        “I’m such an ally! I just will loudly protest that I am not transphobic, by documenting the people calling me out!”

        I even have 2 dedicated posts about me, and all I did was report him for stalking my account, when he admitted it. Rent free. Meanwhile since he’s been banned here, I don’t think of him until he does yet another power trip and enjoy laughing at him.

    Lol at the “solidarity” post in a comm created because PJ couldn’t even find solidarity with the other anti-tankie comm.

    Honestly, anyone voluntarily hanging out at comms PJ (or JordanLund, same thing basically ) moderates, deserves the drama

    PTB, as always with PugJesus. Did you know he banned @db0 because db0 tried to explain facts about how communties are moderated on lemmy?

    Hi pug, we know you’re in the db0 matrix servers with an alt. You aren’t suble. You say I’m obsessed with you while you make alts in chats to eavesdrop on them talking about you, then taddle on people in your safe spaces where you can moderate with an iron fist.

    Can’t wait for all the screenshots about how you’re the victim when you’re the only reason why people don’t like you. It’s not a grand conspiracy, you’re just an asshole.

      Left unity against the distorters of socialism.

      Quoting Lenin, but we can replace ‘Marxism’ with ‘socialism’ in this case.

      Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labor movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is or seems acceptable to the bourgeoisie. All the social-chauvinists are now “Marxists” (don’t laugh!).

        lol! it’s their fault for committing wrongthink and being a tankie!

        It feels like he just throws that term around when he encounters something he dislikes. it’s like ‘woke’ but for radlibs.

        while we’re at it, and i probably won’t get the chance to mention it again: i love how PJ acts stupid. then people talk about it and he boasts about how the ‘tankies are obsessed’ with him in certain comms.

          According to him, db0 is either fully fascist or fully Tankie. Completely contradictory accusations.

    “Noted tankie bootlicker” read as: “I already made up my mind about this person”

    Your objection wasn’t even defending tankies, just people who have been called tankies, which includes everything from “mildly anticapitalist” to “doesn’t support the police” (yes that is a real, recent example). Of course he doesn’t care about solidarity or tolerance, he’s a classic PTB that would rather ban people for suspected wrongthink. Or, as he’d say, a “noted histrionic powermod.”

    One of the first people I ever blocked and someone I’ve been side-eyeing ever since he switched from lemmy to piefed. He’s generally been doing a better job, but this is definitely inline with original recipe PJ.

        UM, PJ, JL. First three users I noticed making me have a negative experience on the threadiverse. Pretty much in that order.

        Which I’m realizing now in my head I imagine them as the three straight white dudes of this experience

        EDIT: I’ve apparently never interacted with the real UM, just a troll account

            Hey, sorry about that. The account I’d interacted with was the exact same set of interactions I’ve come to expect from “well meaning” straight white men who as soon as you say they’re perpetuating something harmful go full obliteration mode because they expect you to exist in service of their own perfect self-actualization path instead of as human beings with thoughts and feelings. I’m sorry I promoted falsehoods about you thinking it was the real you. I assumed I knew what you were like based on a simulacrum intentionally created to distort my and others’ perceptions of you. I will open my eyes to you and see you with my observing eye and my assessing eye, and determine who I think you are afresh from here.

            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.

                  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.

        OP’s post had nothing to do with me or any of my communities. And exactly how do I spread “virulently”?

        I mostly post in my own socialist communities. If you don’t like socialism, cool. Glad you have blocked my communities, but it’s silly to say I spread “virulently.”

        Unless of course you mean people like you who keep randomly mentioning my name all the time and keeping me feeling famous. Which is awesome. So yes, keep doing that. I like the attention that you all give me. :)
