accuses me of dodging criticism for making a very specific argument about how treating real and fake genocide as equivalent is a form of genocide denial
Somehow, you don’t see the irony.
I don’t see how highlighting Khurbn denial is dodging criticism.
They directly addressed it, ya lying freak
Everything is a cia color revolution to them.
No, this one is just a self-serving fabrication by right-wing nazi-supporting governments.
And everything is a genocide to you
I think they’re talking about stuff like the holodomor or the uyghurs in china.
Yeah, probably the South African white genocide too, right?
Wow, Germany sent A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER?? Damn, how did the genocide not stop immediately? Oh wait, they still maintain full diplomatic and economic relations with the genocidal Zionist entity, and have done no effort to ban Zionist and far-right media after proving that under German law there are provisions to ban media (as was done with Russian media).
@BrainInABox@lemmy.ml, remember that you’re on lemmy.world, where reporting someone for being a Zionist is likely to only backfire.
Good point. I’m probably just giving them new moderator candidates lol.
Literally yes
Let people say, and see, what they want.
Yes, that’s why the defederated with an instance that bans anti Zionism.
Ain’t much difference between MAGA and tankies.
“I said commie, not new deal Democrat!”
Same sentence, new era
Marx was a tankie, lol. Shows you’ve never actually read him
I don’t advocate because I hate it when people do it to me. What I do instead is that I use it (be it the Fediverse, Linux, any Free/Libre tools, like I use also use analog tools whenever and wherever I can) and let people see that I don’t need or miss the corporate-owned alternatives many of them think are the only way and show them there is an alternative to proprietary (and to digital, something too many Free/Libre users seem to forget ;)
A few people will be intrigued enough to ask me questions but it is them that will be asking the questions and not me bothering them with my own remarks and suggestions which makes a huge difference: they want to know more. From those people, a few will be that intrigued they will be willing to give this or that specific app or tool a chance, or even give Linux a chance… That Linux curiosity has been made a lot simpler thx to the Windows 11 debacle, and thx to the fact that installing my distro of choice (beginner friendly) takes less than 5 maybe 6 minutes on most machines, even older ones, and then, most of the times, everything will work out of the box. There is a real wow moment, there… Followed by some real frustrations but it still is much better than starting with the frustrations and no wow, imho ;)
Your problem is that you’re an idealist and you think ideas can be translated into practice just by having the correct ideas. Reality is not like that, fascists will play dirty and capitalists will play dirty and you can’t win at their own game.
as you recognized, this is a 2 coordinate system, and the split is between left-libertarian and left-authoritarian. your confusion lets me take a guess and say you sit in the US, where the libertarian/authoritaran axis has been compressed by the 2-party system, which is like putting too many cats at once in a small box - you get infighting, at least on the left; the right has the same, but the infighting between right-authoritarians(fascists) and left-auths(tankies) takes backseat. while the libertarian part is discussing in what type of society they want to live, the authoritarian part is primarily occupied in securing power, mostly followed by internal purges.
Sure, if you’re a politically illiterate centrist
