Someone give me a long list of communities to join and which ones to avoid. I don’t wanna be near the tankies. Thank you!

We're not taking about the US, we're talking about China Russia and North Korea. When I asked why Russia was justified in invading Ukraine, I got dozens of people arguing with me that it was good actually. If you agree with them, then I don't really have much more to talk with you about, you're just wrong.

I don’t really have much more to talk with you about, you’re just wrong.

From checking the modlog you got banned like two years ago because you couldn't stop saying slurs and insulting people. Additionally you clearly support the israeli occupation under the banner of being 'anti-authoritarian', the sentiment is mutual.

I don't support Israel in Gaza, what gave you that impression? Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

it was this comment of yours:

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

And you got from that that I support Israel in their genocide?!? Both sides can be terrible and have gross humanitarian and moral issues.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

If you're both-sideing a genocide you have picked a side.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

That isn't how logic works. What are you arguing? That every action of Hamas ever was entirely good and justified?

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

it's the duty of an occupied people to resist their occupation and genocide, that doesn't make them terrorists. the people delivering US weapon systems are the terrorists.

do you condemn the United States?

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Yes I condemn the United States.

You think it's good for people to rape and kill civilians, that it's justified by the end of resisting occupation?

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

obviously I don't think it's good, but I'm not condemning them for resisting occupation.

I don't think any country is good, they all need to be dismantled, start at home.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

I condemn things that aren't good even if they're working towards a good end. Why do think that shouldn't be condemned?

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I'm opposed to all inter-capitalist wars tyvm.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Good, so we agree that Russia is in the wrong, and should not have invaded? Then we're not in agreement with the slice of hexbear I've interacted with.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

being anti war is not an uncommon opinion, just shows how little you actually interact.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

It isn't an uncommon opinion, but it seemed awfully hard to come by on hexbear, which was my whole point.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I think they consider tankie a slur, so that's probably it. I didn't see the mod logs, so thanks for looking it up.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

It was you calling people crazy as an insult, which is ableism that they ban for.

☑ genocide apologist

☑ insults other peoples intelligence as an argument

☑ passive aggressive misgendering

least bigoted lemmy user complaining about tankies lmao

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

You not familiar with the phrase? The gender neutral 'man', analogous to dude?

And why genocide apologist when I specify said it was wrong and I'm against it? I don't think you're making a good argument.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

you're against genocide until the people being genocided fight back, then you concern troll about 'terrorism' like the people dropping US bombs aren't terrorists.

you certainly weren't one of the ones calling for an end to aid for Israel, you call them 'tankies'

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

No, I call people in favor of 'communism' flavored authoritarianism tankies, not people demonstrating against US Israel aid. I don't know how you got that opinion.

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I'm sure you call everyone you don't like tankies lmao

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

No, I call people in favor of 'communism' flavored authoritarianism tankies.
