any support I've seen has been critical, lib instances often straight up uncritically support US empire and call that anti-authoritarianism
We're not taking about the US, we're talking about China Russia and North Korea. When I asked why Russia was justified in invading Ukraine, I got dozens of people arguing with me that it was good actually. If you agree with them, then I don't really have much more to talk with you about, you're just wrong.
From checking the modlog you got banned like two years ago because you couldn't stop saying slurs and insulting people. Additionally you clearly support the israeli occupation under the banner of being 'anti-authoritarian', the sentiment is mutual.
I think they consider tankie a slur, so that's probably it. I didn't see the mod logs, so thanks for looking it up.
It was you calling people crazy as an insult, which is ableism that they ban for.
That's crazy man.
☑ genocide apologist
☑ insults other peoples intelligence as an argument
☑ passive aggressive misgendering
least bigoted lemmy user complaining about tankies lmao
You not familiar with the phrase? The gender neutral 'man', analogous to dude?
And why genocide apologist when I specify said it was wrong and I'm against it? I don't think you're making a good argument.
you're against genocide until the people being genocided fight back, then you concern troll about 'terrorism' like the people dropping US bombs aren't terrorists.
you certainly weren't one of the ones calling for an end to aid for Israel, you call them 'tankies'
No, I call people in favor of 'communism' flavored authoritarianism tankies, not people demonstrating against US Israel aid. I don't know how you got that opinion.
I'm sure you call everyone you don't like tankies lmao
No, I call people in favor of 'communism' flavored authoritarianism tankies.
I don't support Israel in Gaza, what gave you that impression? Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?
it was this comment of yours:
Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?
I'm opposed to all inter-capitalist wars tyvm.
Good, so we agree that Russia is in the wrong, and should not have invaded? Then we're not in agreement with the slice of hexbear I've interacted with.
being anti war is not an uncommon opinion, just shows how little you actually interact.
It isn't an uncommon opinion, but it seemed awfully hard to come by on hexbear, which was my whole point.
And you got from that that I support Israel in their genocide?!? Both sides can be terrible and have gross humanitarian and moral issues.
If you're both-sideing a genocide you have picked a side.
That isn't how logic works. What are you arguing? That every action of Hamas ever was entirely good and justified?
it's the duty of an occupied people to resist their occupation and genocide, that doesn't make them terrorists. the people delivering US weapon systems are the terrorists.
do you condemn the United States?
Yes I condemn the United States.
You think it's good for people to rape and kill civilians, that it's justified by the end of resisting occupation?
obviously I don't think it's good, but I'm not condemning them for resisting occupation.
I don't think any country is good, they all need to be dismantled, start at home.
I condemn things that aren't good even if they're working towards a good end. Why do think that shouldn't be condemned?
