I really do not feel that any kind of political community fits in here. I do, however, have to say that your reputation precedes you as someone that posts things that virtually no one agrees with politically. I was probably too harsh with the previous comment. We just recently had to collectively raise the admin to boot a literal nazi. What you tend to post is generally fine - it's just that most don't agree with it and you are a known user. I'd say that we, for the most part, don't want politics here of any kind. This instance is kind of like a small art collective that is expressed in many ways.

I suppose that what I am saying in the end is; please at least keep it civil. We just got recently punched really hard, and don't need any further bad press. A lot of people know who you are and are willing to downvote anything you post, regardless of instance.

Your opinions are valid and deserve a place to reside. I ask you, just please keep things within reason.

I totally respect the vibe here and I appreciate your honesty.

I'm fine with locking this community and not posting to it or allowing new posts.

For most of Lemmy, the IDEA of me is actually much worse the real me.

Because I refuse to bow down to the majority just because they don't like differing opinions.

I literally just post freakin news articles that people don't even have to read. And that were written by much bigger and much more popular sites/news orgs than little ole Lemmy.

I don't post to communities that don't welcome the posts. For example, I post conservative articles to c/conservative and other conservative communities. Socialist articles to socialist communities...etc

The people who hate and try to ban me, don't even reside in those communities.

Thanks for your honesty and your candor, friend! So this community is shut and locked as of now.
