Meme criticising the US two-party system deleted from lemmy.world; now I'm not allowed to post political posts at all
I posted this meme [https://anarchaos.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com/posts/Zf/kn/ZfknNc5Yawq7d0f.png] to the Lemmy Shitpost community [https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyshitpost]. I reckoned that it might generate a bit of debate, and would probably end up locked, but the entire post got deleted, and moreover, Iām now forbidden from sharing political posts to the community. Political posts are not against the rules of the community.

The reason I find this suspicious is because other controversial posts, such as one about veganism [https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/55430539] remains up, and Decoy321 seemed to enjoy the fact it was controversial: [https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/058deb11-1d6f-4ab0-80d1-4b9ffc036f1a.png]
YSK: Wage theft is the biggest crime by annual losses
the two party system is just one big party
Just to throw a bit of my opinion/analysis into the ring, I think this is only going to end in disaster. Allowing US/Israel to use UK military bases for their illegal war will make UK military bases, assets, and personnel, valid military targets for Iran and puts our people in danger, especially UK citizens in Gulf states.
Thereās also a high risk of escalation, considering that if our bases start being targeted for missile/drone strikes in the same way that military bases in GCC states have been targeted, the UK will be left with no choice but to actively defend those bases with military force.
We stand to gain no benefit whatsoever from taking this action. We should have stayed out of it, leave America & Israel to fight their pointless forever war on their lonesome.
UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer

The UK has agreed to a US request to use British military bases for ādefensiveā strikes on Iranian missile sites, Sir Keir Starmer has said. But the prime minister said the UK had learned lessons from the āmistakes of Iraqā, and was not involved in the initial strikes on Iran and āwill not join offensive action nowā. Sir Keir said the basis of the decision to accept the US request was the ācollective self-defenceā of allies and protecting British lives, accusing Iran of pursuing a āscorched-earth strategyā. The BBC understands the US is likely to use RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean for strikes on Iranian missile sites.
