It is! Whipped it up for the Political Memes community… and then got banned from Political Memes for ‘advocating violence’. Um… whoops.
Maybe it’s temporary? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Charity… my choice would be any of those most at risk by a turn in the political environment. Planned Parenthood, any LGBTQ+ resource… if you get a kick out of that meme enough to merit a $20 donation, I have a sneaking suspicion that the venn diagram of your values and mine is pretty close to a clean circle, so if there’s something specific you had in mind, you definitely don’t need my permission (not that you ever needed my permission on how to spend your own money, but you get the gist!).
Edit - To be clear, posting that image in this thread is the 2nd time I posted it. The first posting was in Political Memes here. I realized in hindsight that that might make the post in this thread -not- OC. I created the image, but the one here isn’t THE original.
I don’t think the meme itself was the issue, but the discussion therein. Speculating on the motive, I mentioned the oath military and feds are required to take, and that it advocates violence… I probably shouldn’t elaborate or I’ll risk a ban here too…
Right, it’s not a call to violence for the reader; it tells the reader that Trump was fishing for violent supporters. It’s prime “Leopards ate my face” material.
It’s weird that those were the posts they took issue with. I’ve been pretty vocal about not giving a damn about Nazi lives, former president Agent Orange included… but discussing federal oaths and their implications is what crossed the line?
I can understand the admins being on high alert after an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate though, so… whatever, I’ll just eat the ban and shitpost in other communities instead.
Yeah, the oath calls to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. Not really your fault if someone claims that advocates for violence because it’s not you issuing a specific and legal order. Doesn’t say anything about protecting the government I suppose.

Doesn’t seem like it’s advocating violence at all. It’s making fun of someone that did advocate violence when it came after them.

Edit: This was supposed to be a reply to @BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place
I was hoping that the admins on Lemmy aren’t the same type of shitheads like the bad ones from Reddit were, yet here we are.
World is the largest instance, so I understand them having an abundance of caution. Can always post on a smaller instance that doesn’t give a shit.
