I have two cars, but I actually hate cars.

I chose to have a house in the mountains, but I hate snow.

I work out hard and have abs that I show off, but people who show off their abs annoy me.

I’m a writer and make income doing it in addition to my retirement pension, but writers annoy me and I never tell my friends that I’m a writer.

I also paint and have had my stuff in some galleries, but artists annoy me and I never tell any of my friends that I paint.

I’ve chosen all those things. Not by necessity, but just choice. Can you be a contrarian to your own views or does that definition have to involve opposing someone else’s views just to troll?

      I actually don’t get banned “so often” though.

      Two instances banned me before I even had a chance to really post anything (because they knew I wasn’t voting for Harris). And one other instance banned because they thought I was a troll because I posted articles that said Trump was rising in the election polls. Which by the way, he was. I mean after all, he actually won the election.

      I still didn’t vote for him. I just also happened to not vote for Harris. Which made Lemmy really really mad.

      All three instances considered me evil because I dared to say that I was supporting and voting third party. Now of course, the disgust with how lame the Democrat part was, people on Lemmy openly talk about how they want a third party.

      All of this happened to me all pre-election. And now, since I was proven right, people don’t ban me for not voting for Harris.

      The proof is still up. Mod logs are public.

      So no, I don’t think about why I’ve been banned so often, because I don’t get banned. I just prepare for the next wave of hate because I still refuse to support the Democrat party.

      I happily voted Socialist Workers Party and plan to continue doing that.

      Thanks!
