MODERATORS
Because Lemmy doesn't care about the content of the article, they just care who's posting it. If they think that person is not "one of them," then they downvote it regardless of content. Often times, before reading an article, they'll click the users post history just to see if they should like the person or not.
Basically Lemmy doing exactly what they accuse Republicans of doing. lol
Just like Luigi, this woman made the people in power angry and afraid, so she gets federal charges. I'm surprised she doesn't faces terrorism or hate crime charges. Billionaire nazis are a step away from becoming a protected class in this country.
Jeez, no kidding.
5 year minimum for vandalism? Feds stepping in because she used a Molotov cocktail to cause minor damage? Wrists and ankles shackled like she's a danger to the people around her?
Meanwhile the insurrectionists walk free and people who cause millions in harm just write a check.
If this woman gets federal charges how about some federal charges against Trump for removing the EV chargers that we the taxpayers already paid for?
