Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it
As a largely unengaged Lemmy lurker, y'all need to take a chill pill, this feels like an excerpt of the red scare. Picking a fight with the anarchist techies because one dude has an opinion that's not even unhinged, about something that most of us here cant even talk about with any certainty.....come on.
This whole thing is actually overblown and misrepresented.
Why make two threads? Both are missing most of the convo. I don't think what he is saying is right but he does clarify his position right after.
off-topic shill post:
if you're using piefed, you can see all conversation across fedi for any crosspost, and comment on any of the individual posts from the same page.
Why make two threads?
Because each time something new and horrific was said? The two threads weren't made at the same time, and I wasn't aware that Unruffled was going to skip from 'defending Uyghur genocide denial' to 'being an Uyghur genocide denier' when I made the first one.
I don’t think what he is saying is right but he does clarify his position right after.
By 'clarify' you mean 'directly contradict'?
If someone dismisses genocide, then, after being called out on it, half-assedly walks it back, which is the sincere position?
Fair enough but personally, I do think you should let things settle a bit before making threads on them. When I commented, I was under the impression you reposted because the other one got downvoted.
I agree on your impression of the whole of it though. Not sure why he had to put quotes around the word genocide for instance.
predictable tankie behavior
it should be noted that the above account is an IDF propaganda account, so they absolutely do not consider the genocide in Gaza to be a genocide.
i will eat your note
Do you deny the genocide in Gaza?
Seems like it:
Oof. Out they go for genocide denialism.
Illogical arguments that assume that there's some collective Western authority I.e. propaganda ministry that is at play here. Many individual journalists and historians have studied this topic. There's nothing to deny here, even credible sources have confirmed that China accepts the existence of education camps.
Proudly got banned from this professional clowns (OP, not OOP) com LOL
Yes, you quite proudly simped for Russian imperialism and claimed that Ukraine wasn't a 'real' country. I wouldn't be suprised if you were a supporter of Uyghur genocide and the Holodomor as well. Fuck off, fascist.
