Yeah I’m all for killing the few politicians and billionaires doing that, if they don’t stop with warning. Because they are the root of the problem.

But killing the many working class people who may have little choice and not have the education necessary to know they are contributing to bad is counterproductive and difficult to justify.

Yeah. The right wing zealot behaviour of killing anyone you don’t like.

Partly. But it’s been building up in me for the past few months. Like I legitimately see it every day on lemmy.

fantastic explanation. Thank you.

Really relate with your comment.

All war crimes are bad. The germans were horrible genociders who commited more war crimes than we’ll ever know of. But it does not excuse those committed by other nations.

Stop with the murding half a million people apologia.

As usual. Yes, two things can be bad at once. I’m not sure why every time the soviet union, Russia or China is criticised, there’s always a vocal minority going “WHAT ABOUT”. Yes, those are important issues too. Make a post about them. Don’t try to excuse war crimes with other issues. War Crimes are universally inexcusable.

Trump literally said “disabled people should just die”

Unfortunately the examples here are serious. In that I end up arguing with the person and they defend their point that the person should die/be killed.

Appreciated your answers both on this thread and the soviet war crimes thread. Thank you.

thanks, appreciate this answer

Hard for me not to. I’m disabled to the point I’m unable to communicate in real life (lost ability to speak or hear), and am bedridden with limited mobility. So communicating via texting/phone is my only way.

Because it isn’t just “nice” not to kill people for these things. It’s what you’d expect that large majority of people to think.

I’ll happily be proven wrong. But I don’t trust Nethanyahu a single bit. He’ll keep the crimes going on till the election as he knows it hurts the Dems and he wants Trump elected.

Yep. I’m very confused though because the tolerance towards tankies makes me think the mods are further “left” (authoritarian left) then the userbase, but then the MBFC bot makes me think the opposite.

Reading through all that, I’d have to say I’m on your side, as I don’t really see evidence of “stalking”.

I reported an account for stalking once on politicalmemes that got permabanned, but thats because in the three minutes after I replied to them, they went out of their way to comment insults on random posts of mine from MONTHS ago.

The same memes over and over “both sides are bad don’t vote” usually decently downvoted but still appears in my feed just the same are really annoying on c/politicalmemes, so I really get where you’re coming from.

I have to note its a funny coincidence that I couldn’t find your original thread as turns out the account you are arguing had been previously blocked by me.

would be interested to hear you elaborate on this.

There are one or two million eligible US voters on reddit by estimate. A decent chunk of those are progressive left. People like u/leninmeowmeow have been increasingly taking over left wing subreddits, and pushing pro-russia and “don’t vote both sides bad” propaganda, which does impact US voters.

I had a health emergency in June 2023 and was pretty much unable to use reddit until April 2024. Going back, the same subreddits felt like a different world. A bunch of subreddits I frequented, that had been social democrat and pro-ukraine, became subtly pro-russia. This is the reason I left reddit for lemmy. I felt like my political ideology (idealistically I’m an anarcho-marxist, but I still vote for the better candidate to shift the overton window, and I’m critical of Chinese and Russian imperialism, and really all the authoritarian “communist” regimes) had no place on reddit anymore.
