Remember: When commenting in .ml you must remain pro-terrorism and pro-capitalist-dictatorship at all times
First comment removed from asklemmy thread about who's good/bad re Israel/Palestine is apparently too nuanced and anti-extremist for snowflake dessalines. Ya gotta fuel the hate and extremism if ya wanna comment round tankie parts...
The linux ban was regarding a comment (pretty sure the OG comment was different) about Russian maintainers being removed from the linux project. Obviously you can't call out capitalist Putin's authoritarian dictatorship in the communist sub, because ML mods are pro-authoritarian and pro-dictatorship; not anti-capitalist... At this point I'm convinced most "tankies" are just PsyOps operatives.
Lenin claimed that capitalists would sell him the rope he hangs them with. I use lemmy to, among other stuff, spread that tankies are stupid & russia sucks.
In response to the post title, yes but also you cannot say outright that you're pro-capitalist-dictatorship you have to pretend that the capitalist-dictatorship you support is somehow communism.
It's communism because people get (rightly) punished for criticizing the state. That's the qualifier.
As sensitive bitch ass moderators ideologically committed to remaining sensitive bitches, they sympathize deeply with an authoritarian's emotional turmoil when criticized by his people.
Well technically the definition of communism is mutually exclusive to authoritarianism, the problem is that the important people self describing as communism have been authoritarians for like a hundred years.
Nobody should get punished for criticizing the state in a real communism because that means the state has more power than the people who should own it.
So the CCP is about as communist as the DPRK is democratic. Same issue with Russia. To them communism is a brandname.
I got banned too... It turns out that if you say that there are some Russians on a list of entities that Americans can't do business with, that's racist against Russians, I guess.
It's definitely an ethnicity, at least. The distinction between what counts as one race or another is often incredibly arbitrary, and there's not really much difference between hatred for a "race" and hatred for any given ethnic group.
As an example, people in Japan are generally discriminatory against Chinese people, which I'd still describe that as racism even if both have the same "race" of Asian.
I thought it was visible due an update or community config. I've never seen the mod name visible before (and considered that suspect after Lemmy was touted as a transparent alt to reddit).
Now that I'm aware this mod is actually the ml admin and creator of lemmy I suspect he wants to be visible so everyone knows how much of a big boy strongman he is.
IMO Israel is more to blame than Hamas as they should know better given a) their history of persecution b) their significantly greater wealth and education, and c) their demographics more than half of all Palestinians are technically children, below 18.!
This shit is called victim blaming and in general "anti Zionism" is the wish to destroy Israel. Fuck that.
