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.

    I never talked about Hungary or Nazis (at least not before you guys insisted on that topic because that’s a fight u practised)

    My talking point was, and still is, "tankie doesn’t mean " people I don’t like " in my part of the world and most online debates. Sure there are people who use it this way, but they are far from the majority in my experience.

    Even after I told you why I am here, you keep on building more stawmans to entertain me. Very nice of u ^^
