    Well one of the mods over there is a clearly pro-Russian account.

    I’ve been banned from that community (and all others on Lemmy.ml he is a mod on) several times by this account: [email protected]

    https://reddit.moonbeam.town/u/[email protected]

    https://lemmygrad.ml/u/davel

    He absolutely refuses to answer the question “are you pro-Russian” while fiercely touting Russian propaganda, saying Russian propaganda doesn’t exist at all, denying Uighur genocide, advocating against Ukraine, all that jazz.

    Ten bucks says he comes here whining about stalking again while refusing to answer if he supports Putler or not.

      No doubt there’s russia government propaganda out there but advocating against the ukrainian authoritarian government is not automatically “enemy” propaganda

        Advocating against Ukraine in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian war, by spreading pretty much verbatim what Russian state news is touting.

      Is resistance to Genocide good? No this is a nuanced complex issue and anyone saying it’s not is an America hater! (Because israel = America right?)

    Based. Get wrecked Zionist troll.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkwashing_(LGBT)

    Origin of the term

    In April 2010, Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism (QUIT) in the Bay Area, used the phrase pinkwashing as a twist on greenwashing, a practice where companies claim to be eco-friendly in order to make profit. Dunya Alwan was at a talk with Ali Abunimah, editor of Electronic Intifada in 2010, when he said “We won’t put up with Israel whitewashing or greenwashing” and she thought “or pinkwashing!”

    In 2011, Sarah Schulman used the term pinkwashing in a widely read The New York Times editorial arguing that Israel used the tactic in its public relations. Schulman saw pinkwashing as a manifestation of homonationalism, the processes by which some powers selectively agree with the claims of sexual minorities and exploit them to justify racism, xenophobia (rejection of foreign people), and aporophobia (rejection of the poor);

      Thanks for the definition. So basically they got banned for “pretending” to support LGBQ? That’s definitely interesting coming from a tankie.

      Also, why are you posting to world [email protected]? I think we have established that it is not a good community

        Because Lemmy.World news communities are ran by Zionists which ban users for criticizing israel.

          Probably in relation to the blue maga name calling. Many of the low intelligence or high self radicalization people rely on as a crutch. Any time someone points out the vitriolic and illogical parts of their rhetoric. Ole Linky seems to be banned from most the communities I visit. Or at least don’t post there anymore. Kinda had forgotten about them honestly. But linky was definitely the one to say things like that.

      Just because Israel is using this for propaganda, doesnt mean that it isnt true(or important). The USSR used american racism against black people for propaganda but that doesnt mean that there was no racism in the US or that racism wasnt important(or relevant to the discussion between 2 global powers).

      When someone tells you “gay people should be killed”, i think it is relevant to the discussion you have about that person.

    How is the idea that two evils can fight each other so hard to understand? Not all fights are between a good and a evil.

      Your statement is akin to saying the Allies in WW2 were no heroes. In fact they were also the bad guys because they were racist and homophobic. Thus WW2 was a “complex and nuanced” issue.

        Parent comment: “Two evils can fight each other.”

        Your idiotic comment: “You’re saying everyone who has ever fought anyone is evil and there’s no good guys anywhere!”

        I’m confident that when you review what was said you’ll see just how fucking stupid your reply is. I’ve seen you say intelligent stuff before, drink your coffee!

        WW2 was complex and nuanced, especially outside of Europe, and extra especially in the Middle East

          WW2 was complex but I wouldn’t use the word nuanced. Most people can agree morality in WW2 can be fully reduced to Nazis bad

          Whenever someone calls Hitler bad and Allies good it’s not a great look if someone shows up saying “well actually the Allies bombed Dresden too, it was actually all pretty nuanced”.

            The WWII equivalent of what they said is “Churchill was a hero of humanity”. I would absolutely disagree with that statement.

            Churchill was a monster, just less of one than Hitler.

              If Churchill was killed during WW2 while fighting Hitler everyone would be calling him a hero.

              OP didn’t even mention Nasrallahs actual war crimes which were backing Assad during the Syrian civil war. Just the generic pinkwashing.

            I believe if your argument relies on the semantics of words, then your argument is pretty weak.
