political memes are not comparable to segregation wtf, i dont mean to friendly fire but this take is not the dunk you think it is

You're right. Wanting people who make you uncomfortable to go to their own area so that you don't have to see them or think about their political grievances has no parallels with segregation.

Look, yes obviously as socialists we are not welcome in most public places if we speak out, but of all places to make that claim Lemmy.ml is not the one. The mods here are comrades. This is, next to hexbear and grad, probably one of the online spaces most receptive to us. The lemmitor you were replying to has no institutional power against us at all. I hate to tone police but posting on Lemmy is not comparable to being Rosa Parks and trying to make a tortured analogy isn't helping anyone.

I prefer the term lemming, thank you.
