Agreed. You do have to shut down nazis/tankies etc. Zero tolerance policy even.
I am just saying look at it from the mods point of view, they do have to act upon their “no dehumanization” rule or they risk that rule not having any meaning.
Consider a situation where some tankie is ranting about how Trump supporters are capitalist roachs and lack humanity. You don’t want that shit in any community.
Agreed regarding Trump and dehumanization. I am Ukrainian, so you can imagine what I think of Trump, his goons and even those who support Trump (Americans or otherwise).
I am almost arguing from a devil’s advocate point of view.
To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if the mods at a high level support your views (in a different more nuanced phrasing), but you do have to have a modicum of fairness when approaching a rule like “no dehumanization”. The style/tone of your comment did conflict with the rules, that’s all I am saying.
Ban is definitely over the top.
Sometimes less is more with respect to rhetoric (not saying there aren’t situations were you have to be clear and uncompromising in your statements).
This seems like a 50:50 type scenario. I personally wouldn’t bother with moderation unless someone complained, but a good faith arguement can be made that you were breaking the rules.
While the current US adminstration is arguably somewhere between proto-fascist and fully fascist (there is lots more room for democratic and human rights backsliding), I can see how dehumanisation can be seen as a legitimate moderation reason for your comments.
What’s going on with SDF?
Once again playing dumb. Lemmy is rife with this sort of tankie rhetoric, it is rather transparent.
As I said earlier, let’s hope one day you and your family will be on the recieving end of russian genocidal imperialism.
We both know your statement about “number of military bases” is nonsensical and malicious. And you continue to ignore (and whitewash) russia’s genocidal imperialism in Europe.
Your replies (and attempts to pretend no one can see through them) prove my original statement that it is reasonable to have a zero tolerance policy towards tankie scum.
Don’t play dumb with me!
As far as i’m aware there aren’t any russian military bases in europe on the other hand there are hundreds americans.
You are denying that russians are occupying multiple regions of several European countries. Including banning local language/religion/culture, setting up mass torture interment camps, forced russification and settler colonialism.
This is not comparable to hosting a US base in your country (and you know it). You also ignore the fact that US bases are there to not let the russians do what I described above (which you also know).
You are also malicious about framing “russian propaganda”. Can you name me three famous russian propagandist with doing a web search?
Let’s hope one day you will be on the receiving end of your support for russian genocidal imperialism.
It’s reasonable to have a zero tolerance policy for tankie scum (including tankies who are trying to hide their views by JAQing).
In just this thread you openly supported russian genocidal imperialism:
As far as i’m aware there aren’t any russian military bases in europe on the other hand there are hundreds americans.
And your whole “both sides are the same” is clearly a ruse.
You almost certainly don’t speak russian or Chinese. You’ve never lived in russia or China and you have zero understanding of their worldview (with respect to russia specifically, I can say a strong majority of russians are genocidal imperialists) or their propaganda.
Reminds me of tankie scum, but Russia/China are replaced by Saudi Arabia. The same sort of whataboutism, denial of basic facts, white washing of mass scale human rights violations and pretend innocence.
