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.
Whataboutism Yes west bad, but that doesn’t mean Russia good ;)
You deny everyone who lives in the west that they are oppressed by capitalists? Everyone in west is capitalist? No working class?
Also from personal experience: your description of what happens with people who are not cishet neurotypical is wrong. Sure, not perfect here, lots of structural racism, sexism, ableism, claissism etc. But at least not writen in law but forbidden by it (even when that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist), also still got job, are not homeless and not in jail.
I could not exposed yourself like you did even if I would have put hours in it.
Someone: tankie comes from tanks You: Nazi enabler
Hillarious
