    I got banned in a community for calling out a tankie who for tacitly supporting October 7 and calling him a terrorist because of it. Israel’s disproportionate response by killing civilians does not make October 7 better. I got banned for calling a spade, a spade, but allow doublespeak if it favours their biases.

          I have a side hobby of fact checking claims of supposed mod tyranny because it often results in a schadenfreude/comedy gold mine. Watching this gobshite fall over themselves trying to justify their shite behaviour didn’t disappoint.

        Of course calling out hypocrisy from tankies will always be deemed “arsehole” by tankies (notice that all the communities that banned me are all tankies). The modlog says it all: I called out the previous comment for deliberate lying. Anyone with two brain cells to rub and time to waste to backtrack the conversation could put two and two together.

          I can’t imagine why you’d ever be banned for such reasoned discussion as…

          Least crybaby murderer. Every 50 cents for you goes towards your milk bottle.

          And

          You should be put into a re-education camp and come up with better script. Your mommy and daddy will come soon and kiss your booboo. And tuck you into your new bed at the reeducation camp. If your teachers caned you badly for not improving, mommy and daddy will kiss your booboo

          And

          As expected from an .ml user, a terrorist. And an unsurprisingly ignorant one who can’t even read that the article presented contradict what they said haha.

          All of what you were banned for is like this or contains material like this. You really can’t see the issue here?

            So supporting two state solution and calling out the deliberate turning a blind eye to October 7 atrocities is being a wanker? Mate, if there is a wanker here it’s not me. Both of my eyes are not blind.

              I never said or even suggested any of that. You’re simply deflecting and doing so quite poorly.

              It’s amazing, the mental acrobatics people like you engage in to avoid taking any responsibility for their behavior. At least I admit when I’m being a git.

      You don’t blame a kicked dog for biting. That’s not a tankie opinion, it was everywhere a year ago.

      ETA: Hell, I just remembered that I dropped that line during a first date in February and got an “Exactly!” in response.

        Rampant murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocents at a music festival being likened to something as innocuous as a “dog biting”. Typical tankie metaphor.

        And before you go “But Israel does the saaame!!!” Then those people should be caught and punished too just like the Hamas terrorists should be.

    It’s wild that you can just oppose Nazis now, and NATO psychos just can’t even fathom it.

    Tracks though. NATO was founded with Hitler’s former commanders.

      What tankies can’t fathom is EU=/=NATO. But I guess Russians and their sock puppets think it’s either join them or be absorbed in one way or another.

          Several members of the EU are not even in NATO and staunchly neutral (Sweden and Finland were vehemently against joining NATO until the Russian invasion of Ukraine).

      Well it was also overwhelmingly founded by people who defeated aforementioned Nazis. The allie’s fought to kill the idea, the soviets just killed the people and stolen the idea

        The Soviets defeated the Nazis. The fascist western politicians, afraid of the spread of communism, merged and allied with what remained of the Nazis to fight the Soviets through NATO.

      All because Lenin betrayed the revolution, then wrote extensively about how betraying the revolution is actually good and how there needed to be a dictator to somehow make everyone equal.

      And then he used famine as a weapon against the Ukrainian farmers, setting a precedent that Stalin would use just a decade later.

        He mostly did that because he created a moneyless society that took everyone’s money and resources in hopes of preventing anyone from hoarding anything… And then… whoops we’re having a civil war and we need other countries to back us in the fight and we can’t pay them. Time to tax the people who we just told wouldn’t need money anymore…

        I think he could have pulled it off, but he moved too quickly. Absolute fucking clown show

          From everything I’ve read about him I don’t think so. From the sounds of it he never really wanted socialism he just wanted to be a dictator and saw socialism as a way to get it.

          I doubt he was ever going to follow through on the whole communism thing.

          Because he started the civil war when he disbanded the National Assembly after it’s first day. All because his party lost the election.

          The simple history of 1917 Russia. WW1 is going poorly and in February the people rise up and force the Tsar to abdicate.

          This is a major victory, but not a complete one. There’s an interim government that isn’t widely popular and a promised National Constituent Assembly to write a constitution.

          Lenin then comes back from exile and starts table rousing. Saying that there doesn’t need to be an assembly, that he should just be in charge so he can make the country communist.

          Now, there was quite a bit of socialist frevor among the people, but the majority of people in the country side didn’t exactly trust the Bolsheviks.

          There’s a whole dual power thing going on for most of the summer as the people form small councils to rule themselves while the interim government has mostly control over the military and such. Because they’re paying.

          In November Lenin launches his own revolution and casts down the interim government. But he still has to allow the promised National Assembly election even if he thinks it a waste of his time.

          And his party loses badly to the rural socialists. So Lenin spends the next month complaining like the little bitch that he was, demanding that the assembly give up all power to Lenin’s unelected jackboots.

          And come January, the Assembly meets for the first and last time because Lenin is still butthurt for losing the election.

          Lenin then went on to ban all other political parties.

          This and other shit he pulled sparked the civil war, giving him the excuse to use famine as a weapon against Ukraine, which was not a happy part of the Soviet empire.

      Our best hope for a good future is an all powerful benevolent dictator.

      Imagine Superman if he decided that he didnt wanted to fit in and just wanted everyone to be as happy as possible.

      The political spectrum is a 3D one. You’ve got left wing and right wing then you’ve got dictatorial and liberal, but the third dimension is the important one. The Z axis is intelligence. The right seem to move both to the right but also down into the realm of deeply stupid, after a while they hit the edge of the graph in the x-axis but the z-axis seems to extend infinitely into the stupid.
