The rules clearly state that that comm is for US politics only.
Saying that shit happening in Gaza is US politics because it’s US made weapons is flimsy at best. Jordan has spoken out on many occasions on the subject and probably agrees with you more than you’d care to admit.
He’s just upholding the rules of the comm.
And before you go accusing me of bOoTliCkiNg rhetoric, go ahead and check my history and see that I’ve been moderated and banned from that sub several times.
Just follow the rules man. There like, 30 or so other places you could post those links. You’re just trolling the comm at this point repeatedly posting that.
(Disclaimer: I am fully aware that this is a nuanced take and this is lemmy. Therefore by default, I fully expect no one to even try to consider any of this)
Flame away!

My contention, which I have clearly delineated in my comments, links and sources, is that you cannot state such a ridiculous policy and hope to apply it with any consistency, whether it be a problematic inconsistency such as around the Palestinian Genocide or more harmless species of inconsistency where the word “Blog” is enough to automatically bar an article from the community even when the contents of the website are clearly not a “Blog” in the way the rules intend to specify.
No, Jordan’s beliefs scare the shit out of me, they are set up in gleeful ignorance to turn around and blame Israel and jews for those massive mess we have gotten ourselves into, it is so clear how the story being set up intentionally, unintentionally or some mixture of the two, is leading towards really scary anti-semitism as a replacement for more serious conversation about the direct complicity of the US along many different dimensions in the Palestinian Genocide.
Jordan repeats that the Palestinian Genocide is awful but that the US didn’t know and cannot be held responsible for what Israel is doing. Not only is it an amateur understanding of geopolitics to think the world works in such neat clean divisions, it is a dangerous fairy tale to believe in that disguises a more complex reality where we are far more complicit in the suffering around us then we want to admit.
Rules are not neutral, you cannot dismiss my criticism of them by just telling me to follow them.
Please provide proof I am trolling, I post lots of links about a variety of topics. Only one very narrow category seems to get moderated by Jordan Lund and it worries me, it should worry you too.

The arguments from Lund’s defenders would make John Yoo proud. It’s weaponized feigned obtuseness, which I think is Lund’s M.O. as well.

You’re trolling because you were told the first time not to post those like in that comm and continued doing so.
All the rest is irrelevant. The rules are stated, and it’s been ruled that your post violate those rules. That’s it.
If you don’t like it, just don’t post there. As is usually advised in these situations- make your own comm and post whatever you want. But if you post in others, you are subject to their rules and their interpretation of their rules.
That’s how it is.
You’re free to block the comm, and in your case, i recommend you do as it seems its visiblility is enough to entice you to continue violating their rules.
But at the end of the day, he’s not breaking any rules. They are clearly stated. You’re just looking for trouble.

You have provided no proof I am trolling, please stop accusing me of it.

They won’t because they just want to continue to be able to think dnc/dems are the best and their part in the genocide poisons that thinking. Therefore anyone bringing that up can only be trolling, a bot, or a Russian

The rules of the comm are proof. Your screenshots are proof. At this point, you’re just trying to take the piss.
