My favorite part is where they continue to argue with my banned ass, knowing full well I can’t respond. The only way to win for them, I suppose.
Edit: Looks like there was some confusion regarding cross-posting in the original link so I’ll just put the Modlog link here that displays the removed comment and ban, with the thread itself linked here. I’d rather add than change for the sake of the post’s integrity and preventing confusion.
I found that rule confusingly worded, so it does mean .ML and .Grad aren’t allowed to post? Why not just say that?
Whether a genocide occured/is occuring is still an academic/legal gray area. Some call it a genocide, others say cultural erasure and extensive human rights abuses are their own animals. Genocide literally has a bunch of definitions.
You’re assuming a lot about me. I created [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected]
I live in the west, I have no problem with western media.
Because many people signed up for ML without knowing it was a tankie instance and aren’t tankies themselves - Those users are allowed to post.
Up until a few months ago pieces of shit were arguing Gaza wasn’t a genocide either. I’ve always called it as such, and I’ll do the same here. The intent is to destroy their culture, leading to the end of an ethnic group, ergo I view it as genocide and I don’t platform denying that. They have 3 whole instances and leftymemes to do that, they can live without one community.
Eh, I don’t really care if you do or don’t, but if I had say posted this Reuters piece instead that tankies would argue it was all Western propaganda. Gotta pre-empt them before they spam walls of copy-pasted propaganda.
Tankies are the worst, I keep accidentally replying to posts on like hexbear and you can’t have real conversations, they just want to make cheap points, and will all spam en masse at you if you disagree with their braindead takes.
I talked with you a little bit and thought you were just fine. I don’t think we disagreed on anything.
Oh thanks. I was referring to more previous interactions where I got mobbed by the group and thought the 1st time they were just super politically correct so kept defending myself.
I am sure I have good interactions all the time and only notice the ones where the group mobs me for cheap political points.
There’s nothing “tankie” about disagreeing on the definition of a word with a lot of definitions. Maybe wait for the argument before arguing against it?
I bookmarked that article, thanks. Although, I found no mention of the word “genocide,” I like Reuters.
This is why I don’t like Al-Jazeera
There’s everything tankie about an .ml denying the genocide of the Uyghur. And no, I’m not going to platform them and give them a chance to say their shit. Like I said they have 3 whole comms to do that in, they can go do it there.
I’m gonna be real with you, I’m not even going to look at a MBFC link. It’s a Zionist shitrag and I don’t value their rating on anything as it’s been shown to be biased time and time again.
Denying obvious bullshit is normal and good, doing state department volunteer work is weird and bad
Like being the P.R. department for China?
“Both sides” lol get new material loser
Are you incapable of replying without abusing people?
You’re a hypocrite, you are happy to act as a mouth piece for China but criticise others for spreading state talking point.
This is entire bit, defend China and attack anyone who doesn’t.
“Abusing” lol not what that word means, and lol @ “state talking points” from the people volunteering their time to spread US atrocity propaganda. This shit is an extremely simple litmus test for anti-imperialism and you are not passing.
So…
ML was a reason for banning them, but you only ban for authoritarian apologia and not because someone is from ML. Now you’re saying they’re a “tankie” because they denied the genocide, even though the facr of a Uyghur genocide is a contested topic regardless of political leanings.
That’s some round as hell looking logic. I don’t think there was/is a genocide either and I have huge problems with the governments of China, Russia and DPK, including the treatment of the Uyghurs. We don’t have to agree on terms ro agree some serious shit went down.
Mediabias is quoted in published scientific journals and their fact checks are done by independent reviewers from the International Fact Checking Network.
But I can’t argue with someone who throws a label on everything they disagree with so they don’t ever have to consider nuance.
Al Jazeera is state media. It should be looked at with similar skepticism as BBC or RT. They’re probably one of the best news outlets in the world despite that fact, and I’ll forever be in their debt because of their journalists’ work and sacrifice to bring the truth of the genocide in Gaza to light. But that doesn’t absolve them of ever having bias, no more than the Soviet Union is absolved of any sin because they defeated Nazi Germany.
