Monk needs serious help.

He's a literal fascist. Let Supply Side Jesus sort it out.
Joeyowlhouse 49 points 2 years ago
Good. Lemmy should not be a safe space for fascists.
driving_crooner 16 points 2 years ago
There's already a lemmy instance safe space of fascists, they can go there (the instance is blacklisted by the majority of other instances).

I was thinking in another one, so I guess there's multiple of them to choice.

Yes we should.

I saw, and was suspicious of Donald J. Musk. Umonk again! What a dweeb.

Literally an oxymoron and trust me, I know because I have seen more of it than any of you combined.
It’s mostly all based on: we must make leftist cry. Such seriousness, the very core of it is fundamentally a joke.
No wonder right leaning instance is just shitposts and memes galore. This is basically what modern conservatism is.
shalafi 9 points 2 years ago
No wonder right leaning instance is just shitposts and memes galore.
A conservative visiting lemmy would say the exact same thing. The difference in my mind is that right-wing memes mostly leave me thinking, "No one says or believes that. Fuck you on about?"
Same thoughts I have talking to conservatives IRL. Having only been presented with the most outlandish fruitcakes, they've brainwashed into thinking there are legions of fucking nutcase left-wingers out there.
For left-wingers making fun, yeah, the memes more often reflect what the right actually says and believes.
(Yes, I'm biased, but I try really hard to be objective.)
Irelephant 3 points 2 years ago
Everyone is biased, in some way. There is no such thing as being unbiased.
Emmie -10 points 2 years ago
As a budding radical centrist I hate every cuck winger with equal passion. The left however has some merit to protect the minorities and at least in theory aims to reduce inequalities. The far left are bunch of unfunny idiots however
Internet exclusive breed of far left ohhh these are people that should be branded with red hot iron
corsicanguppy 10 points 2 years ago
radical centrist
So... Half-racist? I'm not sure compromising with bigots is something to crow about.
Emmie -7 points 2 years ago
No. It’s more like hating and bashing everyone equally.
It is a radical oppression of radicalism and rejection of demented idealism that I deliver in short precision strikes to the unsuspecting.

Does it though? I mean that would be better than fascism, no doubt, but what are we trying to conserve, really?

By private sphere do you mean people’s private lives and activities or corporate political organizations? If the former, then I agree, if the latter then those are in dire need of disruption.
RememberTheApollo_ 13 points 2 years ago
Conservatives haven’t had fiscal responsibility in probably near 50 years. People should absolutely stop equating conservatives to fiscal responsibility. It’s a lie conservatives keep telling each other.
LookBehindYouNowAndThen 30 points 2 years ago
How could one tell when that happens?
Dude is bugged out more than an abandoned gas station bathroom.
Maeve 12 points 2 years ago
Did it occur to anyone that "triggering" those who have had or are on the verge of a complete mental break could exacerbate the issues? Like do we really want to be the straw that causes a suicide or mass shooting?
geekwithsoul 28 points 2 years ago
I'd seen comments about this account before and noted how the phrasing and comment behavior was a dead ringer for Universal Monk's usual bullshit. Glad to see others saw the same thing.
SatansMaggotyCumFart 7 points 2 years ago
Donald J Musk stopped posting for the better part of a week and almost all activity stopped on their comms for a while.
Must be fun talking to yourself through different accounts :)
Edit: reread my comment again slowly, you’ll get it :)
AllHailTheSheep 19 points 2 years ago
serious question, does shitjustworks have a reputation as a conservative community? I guess I do most of my browsing in the all feed so maybe I just haven't seen it? definitely not the instance I'd like to be on if that's the case 😅
JakenVeina 24 points 2 years ago
I think they're referring to the /c/conservative community ON shitjustworks. I certainly have never experienced the instance in general leaning conservative.
Irelephant 5 points 2 years ago
I love how all the conservative comms have no legit posts above 1 upvotes.
philycheeze 15 points 2 years ago
Is there something weird with shitjustworks that I’m not aware of?
LookBehindYouNowAndThen 25 points 2 years ago
Not that I know of, this is just the unhinged rant of a madman.
I think the conservative community was abandoned there, letting it go to seed with people who aren't in that cult.
AwesomeLowlander 18 points 2 years ago
It's too friendly. Something's not right.
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks 23 points 2 years ago
My experience with UM et al is cavity inducing sweetness of tone while spouting racist BS.
LibertyLizard 11 points 2 years ago
I think the conservative com there got taken over by mods that aren’t right-wing and now exists to make fun of the right. I don’t particularly care but I can see why rightists might not love this.
philycheeze 9 points 2 years ago
lol before the takeover, every post made in there was kicked over and over like a sad puppy.
Maeve 4 points 2 years ago
Yes I actually tried joining a few conservative communities for rational and productive discourse. The "progressive" mods deleted my good faith posts and comments, brigaded and made outright hostile comments. God forbid people seek common ground and building bridges, rather than do the exact things we get upset with "the other side" for doing. They certainly have me not rethinking my values, but certainly rethinking with whom I want to align for the greatest good of our people as a whole, regardless of political leanings.
LibertyLizard 7 points 2 years ago
Unfortunately the only common ground online right now is toxicity, group-think, and mutual hostility. That said, I honestly think outreach to most people on the right is a waste of time, at least online. I’ve tried to educate people for so long but the cult mentality is too strong to overcome. Maybe a more relationship-centered approach could work, I haven’t tried this. But that would take a huge amount of energy and effort.
Maeve 3 points 2 years ago
You're generally right about group-think and hostility, but the couple of good-faith exchanges I had with right wingers may have gotten a couple of snarky replies (maybe pre-emptive defense from being heavily attacked, prior?) but also half-hearted attempts at engagement and addressing my points until the "progressives" came in and did what they do. It's sad, I don't even want to alienate others, preemptively, by calling myself that. Leftist definitely does that. And I'm probably some conglomeration of leftist and libertarian (in the global sense, not the Yankee sense) with a sprinkling of anarchism, somewhere in the mix. I'm not sure yet. I'm not exactly in the process of changing my core values, more somewhat refining them into a more mature form. It's not quite personal anomie, but I haven't found my solid footing yet on the shifting ground beneath them.
Anyway, thank you for a bit of understanding. I appreciate it more than you know.
prettybunnys 6 points 2 years ago
There are plenty of conservative spaces online and it’s exceedingly rare where “good faith” and “rational” conversations are possible.
The fact that this one is a satire of that and folks are upset is hilarious to me
SatansMaggotyCumFart 2 points 2 years ago
That wasn’t the sh.itjust.works or lemm.ee conservative communities.
LookBehindYouNowAndThen 43 points 2 years ago
Universal Monk was a prolific poster around election time; he had tons of alt accounts that all posted stuff purposely made to divide the left.
After his accounts all got banned for trolling and evasion, he started up the Donald J Musk accounts and repeated the cycle, this time posting far-right fascist content and trolling people with lies, disinfo, and general unpleasantness.
It's been an open secret for a while that they were the same user based on the MO, but apparently he fucked up and reused a comment.
Coelacanth 30 points 2 years ago
Their favourite m.o. during election season was sealioning and concern trolling, as well as baiting people into breaking the civility rule and then reporting them. It seemed to me like they were taking pleasure from skirting around the letter of the law while violating the spirit of it.
It was completely incredible at the time that they went on for months without getting banned.
Blaze 18 points 2 years ago
The fact that !politics_no_um@lemmy.world had to be created still baffles me
KnitWit 3 points 2 years ago
As a big Umphrees McGee fan, who had previously blocked and forgot about UniversalMonk, seeing a bunch of posts talking smack about UM really threw me for a loop when it got real bad haha.
Maeve 11 points 2 years ago
Tbh, it appears to me the guy is in serious mental health crisis. Social isolation isn't great without mh support and tends to exacerbate issues. I'm wondering if it's simply not affordably accessible to them or if it is and they broke so completely they failed to see the necessity. I remember a post they made about breaking up with their gf and that's when the alt-right accounts became highly visible to me.
LookBehindYouNowAndThen 23 points 2 years ago
He also posted about being happily married; there's really no way to know the truth about a serial liar like UM.
Although he has serious "50-something-divorced-guy" energy. If I had to guess, his kids and ex hate him for being a right-wing scumbag and this is how he takes out his anger.
Maeve 3 points 2 years ago
The only thing we need to guess, impo, is he's in serious mh crisis and pushing him toward suicide or mass shooting isn't a solution. Ignore or block should leave him the option of seeking professional help or spiralling of his own doing, not ours.
LibertyLizard 6 points 2 years ago
So where is this word-for-word duplicate comment? Can anyone link to it?
