          The reason you were banned was trolling.

          Not admitting any responsibility for being disruptive and insincere is simply dishonest.

          In fact, you seem to have a history of commenting in socialist communities with content that is provocative but also absurd.

          Further, a memes community is generally not suited to starting debates.

          Finally, no socialist group will roll out the red carpet for someone who propagates transphobia.

            You mean tankie communities. I’m a Marxist myself with Leninist tendencies. All I’m doing is calling out bullshit Marxism.

            Further, a memes community is generally not suited to starting debates.

            This is your only criticism i can accept, although you’d have to level that same critique to those engaging with me in the thread as well. Furthermore, a simple slap on the wrist rather than an outright ban would’ve sufficed IMO.

            Finally, no socialist group will roll out the red carpet for someone who propagates transphobia.

            Me? Transphobic? You seem to have the wrong guy pal

              It’s part of their MO. Anyone who disagrees with them in any way is (a) Zionist and (b) transphobic.

              It is part of why they stake out these absolutely wild positions (we need to not call out Dragonrider for trolling / Hamas didn’t rape anybody on October 7th), to bait people into disagreeing with them from the “wrong side,” and then they can get all scream-y about the accusation and have something real to point to that actually sort of vaguely looks like they have a point. Then, they take that little grain of sand and spin it up into a world-spanning pearl where the whole of MOG is Zionist and transphobic. It actually works pretty well.

              You wrote “Do trans women get self concious [sic] about their penis size?” The question is certainly one most likely to be presented by someone feeling aversion to trans people, and in either case, it readily energizes such sentiments.

              Your comments in ML’s memes community was correctly appraised as appearing to take sides opposing generally all leftism, and favoring US imperialism. They were indistinguishable from US propaganda, framing the issue lazily and simplistically, as lacking any appropriate criticism for imperialism and propaganda. You also called someone a fascist, without having any sensible justification. and invoked a clown emoji as an attack, again without sensible justification.

              Your exchange on Lefty Memes appears not possible to be reconstructed from the mod log, but the reason appears to be unrelated to criticizing Venezuela.

                So you made a false assumption to avoid having to do any substantive criticism? Great!

                Also, I don’t bother arguing in good faith on the tankie triad, because I’d get banned anyways. Might as well shit on them. If you want to see my good faith arguments, there are plenty on my profile.

                unrelated to criticizing Venezuela.

                Yes, as i said, the reason given was trolling. Which makes absolutely no sense.

                  You wrote, “I got banned for criticizing Venezuela”, whereas from the mod log it appears most likely that the reason is not related to any mention of Venezuela. The comments still available for review make no mention of Venezuela or anything related to Venezuela.

                  Regardless, at issue is not whether the assumption is false, that you are transphobic, but simply, as a fact, that you are more likely to banned or censored by leftists if you are found posting such content.

                  If your content in one instance attracts concern from a moderator, then they are likely to use the information available, including your post history, to predict whether you are likely to be a constructive participant in their community. Someone who feels concerned enough to post about what is underneath the clothes of trans people has provided, willfully, an indication of not being someone they would welcome.

                  As for whether you are transphobic, I of course lack any direct knowledge about you. Perhaps you have an agreeable motive for asking the question, but the plain observation is that you are thinking and acting as someone transphobic. You may think you are still not transphobic, but I remind you of the duck test, and also the trope, “I am not racist but…”.

                  Claiming not to be transphobic is only meaningful if you act not as transphobic instead of acting as a transphobic.

                  Finally, in the ML community, you chose to act as an anti-communist troll, you were banned for acting as an anti-communist troll, and then complained for being banned, pretending the ban serves as evidence that you were treated inappropriately or unfairly, that you were right and others were wrong.

                  If you resent someone else restricting your anti-communist trolling in a leftist community, then you are not meaningfully a leftist, despite your claims. Alternatively, if you agree with the action, then your complaint is absurd on its face.

                  Generally, it appears to me that you insist on claims about yourself that contradict your actions, while blaming others and avoiding responsibility. Whatever problems are caused by some authoritarian leftists, your example is no better than of the ones you have been found to have directly criticized.
