When having to admit their fault the moderator started looking for arbitrary reasons to ban me. Such as not using the exact terminology of the Amnesty report. Which does not call it genocide.
The moderator is also watching user votes, and calling out people not voting with him.
Exactly. So why rage at anarchists when fighting authoritarian states is literally our whole thing? It’s just because we are also highly critical of the US and the Dems in particular, because they are always banging on about being the “lesser evil” like its some sort of gotcha. To be clear, if I haven’t been already, I 100% condemn China’s actions towards the Uyghurs. Is it technically a genocide? Depends what definition you’re working with, but to my mind it meets the definition. Meanwhile the Dems have consistently voting with Trump to keep arming Israel, and there is no sign of them changing their position. So what irks me and others is the double standard. Most Democrat representatives have repeatedly denied Gaza is a genocide, and continue to do so, but I don’t see you banning people who attempt to downplay the role of the US in that genocide as being tankies.
I don’t care about the US. It’s an evil country and a third-world one at that. The world would be a better place if the government were to collapse.
But enough about the US and its shittiness, go back onto the topic of this community and how it conducts itself. Surely you must have a statement regarding the brigading and my criticism of this community?
Well, we agree on that at least.
Anyone can read the previous posts in this community and form their own opinion on that. As a community mod I’m not the arbiter of truth in this community. I have my own opinions and I share them, along with everyone else. I don’t apologise for that. But I’d say in 9/10 cases the community sentiment towards posters is very much aligned with my own. You just seem to be aggrieved that the community has deemed you to be the PTB in this case. It’s clear to me (and obviously to others judging by the comments) that you hate leftists a lot more than the right wingers who frequent your community, who you seem to get along with just fine. And that fact you claim anarchists are tankies tells me all I need to know about your political literacy.
Why are you holding me to a different standard than yourself?
I’m upset that this community isn’t actually about whether a user broke the rules, but instead whether they agree with the views. That’s the key point here. And also your community constantly brigading.
and rightists? There ain’t any rightists on lemmy lol
I don’t use left/right anyway; it’s stupid.
The irony of an anarchist calling me politically illiterate. Regardless, I never called any anarchists tankies, only that your community has been supportive and taken over by them. You even have users in this thread praising Hamas, denying that rapes happened and denying genocides.
