MODERATORS
I'm a leftist that doesn't like hanging with racists and totalitarians, that's why I don't like them.
I don't think you even know what "totalitarianism" is. You know why? Because that term doesn't mean anything. It was popularized by Hannah Arendt, an academic author indirectly associated with the CIA (as thoroughly discussed by Frances Stonor Saunders in her book The Cultural Cold War). The term was used in the context of the Cold War to promote the idea that the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were the same thing or very similar. It served the interests of the US and Western European countries.
Now to call our userbase racist, I would expect at least further explanation. We have very strict moderation, and racist garbage is severely dealt with. So if you seen someone being racist in Lemmygrad, please let me know. I'm an admin there, and we could quickly resolve this. If you haven't, then you should quietly think with yourself why you are lying to others here. You hate us based on a lie?
Bro, liberal IS a race. By Dunkin' on Liberals, you might as well be genociding Palestinians .

You're on itjustworks, you're not a leftist, you're a social fascist.
You realise that the instance has open registration that doesn't require a specific political allegiance? I'm on it because it's local, I would have chosen any other local instance if it wasn't this one.
Your gaslighting tactics aren't going to work here.
