On lemmy.world I posted a comment on how liberals use ‘tankie’ as an invective to shut down dialogue and received tons of hateful replies. I tried to respond in a rational way to each. Someone’s said ‘get educated’ I responded ‘Im reading Norman Finkelstein’s I’ll burn that bridge when I get there’ and tried to keep it civil.

They deleted every comment I made and banned me. Proving my point, they just want to shut down dialogue. Freedom of speech doesn’t existing in those ‘totalitarian’ countries right? But in our ‘enlightened’ western countries we just delete you.

    And it just goes on. But I do dodge the questions, I’ll give you that. I’ll even tell you why: I came here to have interesting discussions on how to create a better society. Communists are in the defense and neoliberalism is omnipresent, connecting and organising are more important then ever, part of connecting is sharing experiences with others online. But after I was in this community for 10 min. I realized, that I won’t get that here. Majority of people here is just trying to vilanise everyone who remotely challenges their believes, put them in a box and then being proud they stand up against someone bad. So recently I’m just doing it for the fun and giggles (and therefore not putting effort in answering difficult questions which are actually complicated). The way people really think they are making a point when in reality they just show their own superiority complex isquite entertaining after all.

      But the question about sending tanks is important because with this we could weed out nazi enablers.

        Sure, because there is only black and white. Either you choose violence in every scenario or u are Nazi lover.

        Flawless logic.

          So this means you would not send the tanks?

          The nazis will now put all non-nazis in hungary into concentration camps.

          Nazi enabler.

          Edit: You could have avoided most of the violence (that the nazis will inflict on innocent people now) by sending the tanks.

            I said there are other options. You think invading countries or doing nothing are only two options?

            To add a valuable point: i would not send tanks, as i dont have any. Itas a pitty, but they are quite expensive. Like most working class members I can’t afford one. Damm capitalists keep raising taxes and prices
