Are you still pretending like you were acting in good faith? Lmao. First you jumped down my throat with baseless accusations, then you demanded that I criticize Russia, then when I did, you sensed blood in the water and came after me even harder.
You know for a fact at this point that your accusations were false, you don’t care. Because it was never about saying things that you actually believe, it was about going on the offensive and saying anything to make me look bad.
I don’t care about making you look bad. I’m throwing light onto some fucked up beliefs that get dressed up with “fuck America!” to make them more attractive to simple minds. The fact that you embrace these beliefs is irrelevant to me. This is for the reader, not you.
It does bring context to your righteous indignation that you’ve so closely tied the discrediting of your beliefs to a personal attack.
Thank you for admitting it was just about trying to make another side look bad and that you had no interest in what I actually believed. That’s the first honest thing you’ve said this conversation.
For those playing at home, here’s a recap: being critical of Communist regimes makes you a “bad actor” (Jesus, tankies love that term. It’s their magical spell that they invoke to avoid having to defend the asinine beliefs), I’ve committed every argument fallacy known to man, and all I care about it making someone look bad by virtue of speaking to their own claims.
If you’d like a more personalized experience, head on over to lemmy.ml and suggest that China’s current, very well-documented genocide exists. You can be a bad actor too!
People who take this approach are very wrapped up in identify, which is clearly the case for the person I’ve been having fun with if you care to check out their comment history. They need to be part of a group and feel righteous. They need all the lines defined for them. As is so often the case, they repeat big and little lies without really understanding what they’re saying.
They’re the same type of people who identify the horrors perpetuated by the Republican party so they say they’re a die-hard Democrat. And to head off the next inevitable reply, no, both sides aren’t the same. But they serve the same master, and neither gives 2 fucks about the well being or will of the people.
OBJECTION!@lemmy.ml needs to have a very rigorous identify to the point of not understanding or caring to understand what it is their chosen group actually believes or does. It’s about belonging and feelings like they’re in control.
All my homies hate the atrocities committed under Western capitalism AND the CCP’s version of it. If you think it’s about anything other than power and control for the wealthy, you’re just another one of their tools.
