lemme know when those authcom communities are advocating purging the western world of anyone who isn't white and enslaving the rest of the world in a christian theocracy.

That’s called a self report.

Is that true? For what value of “many”? My impression is that—in the Anglosphere anyway—“auth” communists who once were anarchists is even more common. We’re fed a lifetime of anti-communist propaganda, and comparatively little ant-anarchist, and I think that people seldom arrive there along a straight path.

I’d like to see a breakdown of anarchists per capita by country. I think it’s predominantly a Western movement, but I don’t have data to back that up.

You also downvoted multiple posts discussing the Uyghur genocide, and that were about, exclusively, criticism of the Uyghur genocide.

I genuinely do not remember doing this, but i apologize.

Either you're bullshitting now, or you weren't reading anything you were voting on then; just, I don't know, giving up and downvotes according to who was being responded to, I guess?

I do vote irresponsibly and occasionally vote things that i go back to later and go "why the fuck did i upvote/downvote this?" I've been called out for this before too and i want to be more careful with voting in the future.

I guess you don't know much about the Holodomor either, considering you and the rest of the admins left that lovely bit of denialism up as well.

I literally said that in my comment. "I know nothing about Holodomor or Xinjiang, nothing at all"

If calling you out for being part of a fucking moderation team that removes one form of genocide denial, but 'conveniently' seems to ignore every major form of tankie genocide denialism is malicious

Dude, I know about zionism + the Gaza genocide, that's something i can confidently act upon. I literally told you i know nothing about what's going on in Xinjiang / what happened in Holodomor.

what the fuck do your actions come off as? Benevolent?

Besides the voting which in retrospect was wrong, literally what actions; i haven't removed a single comment or post in this situation.

The fact that you're being downvoted for your comment after walking it back can probably be turned into a statement about the human psyche, but I'm not creative enough to make it.

In the 1950s, in the UK, "Tankie" was used as perjorative among members of the Communist Party of Great Britain, to describe those in the party who supported the Soviet invasion of Hungary.

The term has been so warped that now the people who coined it would also be considered Tankies by the liberals who love to throw the word around

Tankie is a pejorative, it isn't an ideology, and as such it is levied against the same people "commie, pinko, and red" are. It's a pejorative for Marxists, and/or those who support existing or formerly existing socialist states.

Fascism, on the other hand, is an ideology. It isn't a pejorative, it's what arises when capitalism is in crisis and the bourgeoisie needs to violently assert itself to maintain power, often with the support of the petite-bourgeoisie. The "vagueness" surrounding fascism is that it's inherently irrational and contradictory, as it's something that arises when capitalism's contradictions are at their sharpest.

No, Marxists are not fascists. Marxism supports the proletariat using state force against the bourgeoisie, fascists support the bourgeoisie using state force against the proletariat. This is like saying Israel and Palestine are the same thing, or capitalists and workers. Read Blackshirts and Reds.

'Tankie' means 'a person who is correct'.

okay tankie

"Tankie" means the same thing "commie, pinko, and red" do, it's a pejorative for Marxists and/or those that support existing socialist states. That's why this thread is even a thing in the first place, the cryptofascists on MWoG are calling even dbzer0 users "tankies" for not just dogmatically accepting everything they believe about socialist states uncritically.

The goal is to assimilate the pliable ones into han majority... That's how han colonialism works

Russia practices the same colonial style. Kill off opposition and assimilate useful idiots.

"Well, how can their culture be erased if people meme it?!??"

That's what it sounded like. Also just because their culture and language are being celebrated, it means nothing if nobody practices it.

Ths context here is instance drama and the Uighur genocide, though, not about the West's genocide. I hate Israel, its genocide and those who support it with every fibre of my being, but I'm not sure how that relates to the conversation.

Nobody said this was something the people wanted to do. It's said to be what the authorities thought are the most effective measures for countering terrorism.

It becomes even easier to manipulate votes with private voting.

You really going to defend that fascist?

If the reports of forced sterilization and birth limits are true then it seem likes that dolus specialis is met, but … maybe I’m too generous with calling genociders genociders.

Especially since I’m not THE authority which gets to label one as such I think I’d always err on the side of calling something that walks and quacks like a genocide a genocide.

Anyways, thanks for the response, it’s reasonable even if I think it’s wrong,

Just kidding buddy I love you. Everything in my above comment was ironic. I mean, I wasn't very happy with you back when you were an anarchist, but now that you're banning people for downvoting AI and denying the fake uyghur genocide I'm on your side all the way. Let's destroy the west together ❤️

And there's no answer, I think this dude is confusing you for another person, or is lying to save face of a community.

Just look in your chat log. I've a pretty unique nic, as do you.
But you don't respond to public questions in your comms either.

You're not wrong, but in this case they were complaining about me removing this post (which I restored, because why not), and not answering DMs they sent, which I did not receive.
I didn't even ban the person.

It is better than centralized reddit bullshit where regime whores enforce right think.

At least here we see these rifts in public.

Federate hilarious chaos so I can engage with the piracy com without switching accounts and all axes will be discarded.

I haven’t really seen evidence of that user being an asshole to everyone.

hc tolerates transphobia; db0 doesn't.

This you? @muntedcrocodile@hilariouschaos.com

The term is deeply tied to both eugenics and fascism, Nazis would label modernist art, queer people, Jews, disabled people, and leftists as “degenerate”. There really isn't a reading that's not describing people as subhuman.

Using it assumes there’s a “pure” social body and that some people are contaminants. It's a pretty clear indication that the user is operating from a worldview fundamentally at odds with anyone that values solidarity and liberation.

“degenerates” as a pejorative is almost exclusively used in crypto-fascist and red-brown spaces.

Dbzer0 is a math instance,
Lemmy.ca is a Californian instance,
slrpnk.net is a space themed one,
Lemmy.ml is an instance for the country of Mali.

Suppressing a culture destroys that culture. If people cannot express their culture, it will eventually die out as the people become assimilated into the culture of the empire that is supressing it. That's what makes it genocide. You kill off a culture even without needing to kill actual humans. (Which is to say nothing of the forced sterilisation, which is a far more direct form of genocide.)

That's a much narrower definition than the UN uses, which is what matters in terms of international law. In particular, the intent doesn't have to be to totally destroy the group, so suppressing its numbers still counts. It's a semantic argument, but for a word so loaded as genocide, letting people dodge accusations by picking a different word isn't helpful. Obviously, this one isn't the most serious genocide going on right now, as there are Israeli cabinate ministers explicitly saying it's their goal to kill all Palestinians, but that's not a great defence for crimes against humanity.

You're whining about being called a tankie and banned, while repeating tankies talking points.

The definition of genocide by the UN convention:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

If the target is to destroy a group as a group and any of these acts are committed, it is genocide. Mass murder is the "prevalent" act, but it is not a requirement for genocide.

Hardly

thank you i have several posters of him on my ceiling
