Ok.

So you think ass cancer is just something that exists to be sacrificed for the sake of your insurgency?

Thank you madame cia director, for your clarification.

He is a petulant little child. Like a mini-Trump.

They don’t hate me personally,

No, I believe that’s quite personal by now for a number of users. You are a perfect example of bad moderation, poor decision making process, illogical arguments and prejudice.

They don’t hate me personally, they hate being moderated.

Nope. We hate moderators making up bullshit to silence people they want silenced. We hate capricious moderators who can’t follow their own rules.

What are we supposed to look at?

Yes, it’s everyone ELSE who is wrong and you’re just a wittle victim who is power tripping bc you have no hobbies /cry

I’m only responding here because you’re saying “they know what they were arguing and you’re being disingenuous if you try to say otherwise” and because you’re making a whole bunch of assumptions about my intent and my …rationality. Basically, I’m only responding because you’re displaying a big degree of bad faith towards me, to the point where you’re not understanding what I’m actually saying, especially in the third comment that got me the ban.

The comment with the all caps, mentioning Greece and Ukraine, fine, sure. I tested the line, asking specifically about the TOS and got burned. That’s your line. I still think it’s a silly line, but that’s your line. Fine.

But the comment you banned me for is where I think you completely misunderstood me. Here’s the comment:

Death to Israeli apartheid. Death to the institutions that uphold the Israeli Apartheid. Death to the institutions that uphold the occupation, the disposession and the genocide of Palestinians. Death to the structures that maim the humanity of both the colonizers and the colonized.

Long live all the people who live in Palestine from the river to the sea. Long live the children, the life, all children, all life, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and other. Palestinian, Druze, Bedouin, Samaritan, Mizrahi, Ashkenaz, Sephardic, and other.

“The padrone is dead. But Alfredo Berlingheri is alive and we mustn’t kill him. […] Because he is living proof that the padrone is dead.”

I thought the last line, the reference to the padrone would be making it crystal clear, but it didn’t. It’s from the movie 1900 and I guess my mistake was believing that this is a classic that everyone has seen. My bad. Here is what goes on: after the revolution, the peasants want to kill the Alfredo character (DeNiro), who is the padrone, the boss. But Depardieu’s character, Olmo, makes the case that they should in fact not kill Alfredo, because his role as padrone is dead and Alfredo, no longer being the padrone is just a regular person now. The padrone is dead, Alfredo lives. Imagine if the Jacobins hadn’t guillotined Louis-XV, the line would be “the king is dead, Louis is alive and we mustn’t kill him, because his continued existence is living proof that the institution of the monarchy is dead: he is now just a dude like the rest of us”.

My argument here is that the institution of Israeli apartheid must die, to free the Israelis themselves from the shackles of being “the padrone”. That’s why I write underneath long live all life, and list explicitly Judaism among the religions and the various Jewish nationalities (Mizrahi, Ashkenaz, Sephardi). They are Alfredo. May they live! And may their continued existence be statement to the death of the “padrone” role, that Israeli nationalism has been ascribing to them.

When I say “death to israeli apartheid” and “death to the institutions and structures that uphold it with all its horrible outcomes” I am not advocating violence against people, I am advocating the destruction of horrific systems and institutions. I am saying the equivalent of “death to slavery”, “death to patriarchy”, “death to capitalism”. And I’m adding explicitly in the people that will benefit from the death of these horrific systems and institutions precisely the groups of people that are currently benefiting from them. I’m not saying “death to the whites”, I am saying “Death to slavery and its institutions so that whites don’t have to be slavers”.

If, despite what I think, you understood all of that and still somehow construed my writing as “repeated calls to violence”, I don’t know what else to say.

Edit: in fact I think you’re also misrepresenting the context of my 1900 comment. It was not a follow up on the Greece/Ukraine comment. Instead, I was responding at a different branch of the thread, below a comment where someone was making the argument that “death to Apple” is not a threat of violence against the Apple CEO and employees. It was already in the context of discussing “death of institutions” vs of people.

So, because an earlier comment was interpreted as inciting violence, a user is no longer allowed to amend their point to more narrowly criticise the institutions that are causing genocide? That’s some serious bullshit you’re pulling there. If that’s the level of logic you’re using, I have little doubt you’ll find some justification for “I’ll have to permaban them before the month is over” to end up being true, that a mod attempting to actually apply rules with a modicum of fairness or common sense would not.

Explain my permaban then, when everything I posted was fucking correctly and reputably sourced and has nearly all literally come to pass… go on

Heres the OG text of what got me banned permanently in a comment for anyone curious, I posted about this in December. BTW gold has gone up over 40% since then https://lemmy.world/comment/13431373

Don’t complain about the backslash then for your stupid rules. Nobody care about your dumb excuses. Death to the idf whatever you like it or not

Communities dont belong to you or any authoritarian, communities belong to the people who make up the community itself, and that’s pretty obvious. The reason you are so hated is bc YOU think you’re doing a worthwhile role “for the community,” when youre actually hurting the community and gaslighting them when they tell you that. Having mod privileges and server privileges doesnt make you more of the community than anyone else, and abusing that power is why you’re hated (like all authoritarians). And you act like you have a shriveled up tiny dried earthworm dick

Name calling? His last name means “dick” in Hindi. Prick is literally his last name.

Oh, and as a side little note, I’ll insult zionists till the day I die, and I don’t give a flying fuck about that liberal “civility” bullshit, nor do I care if you think me being mean hurts my argument, you knob. The only good zionist is one in a cell phone video with a red triangle above their head.

So, first off, there’s no such thing as “International Law”.

Thanks for giving me the feed for my community

lund’s justification for biden doing what lund wanted him to do.

Pretty much, Biden’s views on Israel were formed (frozen?) long before any of us were born and never updated for the current state of the world.

I’d love to ask him why we never took action when they tried to kill our ambassador to Lebanon for having the temerity to open negotiations with the PLO, but then, if HE couldn’t get a straight answer, there’s no way I would.

https://www.wrmea.org/2002-november/american-ambassador-recalls-israeli-assassination-attempt-with-u.s.-weapons.html

“Picked up by Lebanese security, the anti-tank canisters had made-in-America markings. After unanswered telegrams to the State Department and all but silent responses to his telephone inquiries, Dean eventually learned that the anti-tank weapons were sold and shipped to Israel in 1974. Dean apparently mused to himself on the irony of an American ambassador being subjected to an Israeli assassination attempt with American weapons supplied to Israel for defense.”

1979…

Biden did not sell weapons to be used in genocide. Biden believes, legitimately believes, that the Israelis are good people and would use the weapons for the proper defense of Israel.

He was selling weapons to netanyahu. netanyahu was and still is committing genocide. It became so obvious to everyone, even as someone as senile as biden, that the only thing those weapons were ever going to be used for was genocide. biden continued selling them anyway, in contravention of the Leahy law.

There is no ambiguity here. There is no “out” for biden on this. joseph robinette biden sold weapons for genocide. There was no other purpose. None. And you straight up lied on his behalf.

You can’t get your underoos in a knot and ban me here. You can’t use the banhammer as a “get the last word” button here.

Okay, so ‘i am a cop and i swear to kill you’ or ‘i hope the police murder you’ or ‘i, police commisioner in your town, will not rest until you and your family are dead’ are fine

But ‘i hope that cop stubs its toe’ or ‘if a cop shoots me, im shooting back, besides, how would i even know?’ Would be bannable?

don’t you mean western states? russia doesn’t have a monopoly on violence, there it’s the windows that kill people.

The Police Problem has a similar rule:

“③ Saying cops ANYONE should be killed lowers the IQ in any conversation. They’re about killing people; we’re not.”

I HAVE had rule 3 violations, rare but they have happened. Actually, it’s super rare I have to moderate anything there, people are super chill.

I actually used to have more removals based on rule 2, but that evened out:

“② If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.”

Not in our lemmy lol. Lemmy as a aplatform do not belong to anybody

If there was an armed thug murdering defenseless children on a street, and there was someone calling to kill the thug to stop children being murdered, would you ban the person calling to defend the children?

Except when violence is the default, against someone you dont consider a person.

Then you can call for it to continue, and only asking for it to stop is violent.
