Look at how selective you’re being with your condemnation.

I’ve condemned both. What are you talking about?

Clearly not “nothing”, if you stand in support of Israel’s war and occupation of Gaza.

I do not.

A true “neutral” liberal would say that it is a war between jewish terrorists and islamic terrorists.

I’m not a liberal. What do you want me to acknowledge? That the conflict could’ve been avoided? I’ve ranted about the conflict before. If you’re apparently an expert on my opinions or how I’m biased, you should already know my opinions.

You still don’t understand. No context justifies violence against innocent people. You demand a lot from me, so now I will demand something from you. Say, “No context justifies violence against innocent people.”

As the moderator of a community nominally dedicated to opposing hate speech, you sure do seem to have a blind spot when it comes to Muslims.

Where is the hate speech towards Muslims? You have to supply some now if you’re going to make these accusations and explain as to how they are hate speech.

Where the fuck did you do that? Must’ve missed it in all the obfuscation and deflection, help me out and point me to it. I’m not an avid follower of yours, so if it happened in some other thread just assume I didn’t see it.

You’ve conditioned the end to Israel’s genocide against Palestine on Hamas’s surrender, but apparently have no conditions for Israel ending their own hostilities. You’ve deflected accountability away from Israel by saying ‘whatabout’ Iran/China/Russia, even as they are already being held to higher standard and face far more severe consequences for their once removed involvement (by an order of magnitude. It is not close.), and have made no indication that Israel deserves accountability of the same -if not more severe- magnitude. You’ve decontextualized the violence conducted by Israel and the US and western powers that define the current conflict, and gone out of your way to remove displays of bigotry and hate against Muslims.

Clearly not “nothing”, if you stand in support of Israel’s war and occupation of Gaza.

I do not.

You repeatedly placing the blame on resistance groups and selectively using the term ‘terrorist’ against them -while avoiding using the same term to describe Israel and their slaughter of innocent civilians - certainly says otherwise. I’ll accept any application of the term ‘terrorist’ or ‘terror’ to the current Israeli occupation force as evidence of your opposition to their war. Even any clear indication that Israel is ultimately responsible for their own acts of genocide as evidence of your opposition. If you can clear that up then maybe we can part ways.

You still don’t understand. No context justifies violence against innocent people. You demand a lot from me, so now I will demand something from you. Say, “No context justifies violence against innocent people.”

I’ll be as clear as I can be: unprovoked violence is always wrong, but I do consider hate speech to be a provocation. If a Nazi is standing on a corner spouting antisemitic slurs at passers-by, I think that Nazi is liable to have his lights put out. I wouldn’t tell someone to go do it, but I certainly wouldn’t direct my condemnation towards the person who threw the punch and then intentionally obfuscate the hate speech that immediately preceded it in my recounting

The cartoon you’ve repeatedly dismissed as unimportant is hate speech. It’s Islamophobic propaganda, and it borders on genocide denial. It renders passive and absent the genocide and famine that Israel is committing and holds up a racist and inaccurate religious practice as abstractly culpable for a horror Israel has chosen to commit themselves. I won’t say it justifies calls to violence, but it absolutely does matter. It is important context to someone who would otherwise believe the call to violence was unprovoked. That cartoon was a provocation.

A part of understanding liberation movements is acknowledging that the oppressed minority is always held to a higher standard than the oppressor group, and in no thread has that been made more apparent than this one.

You can go digging in my comment history to find my views on it. i ain’t gonna repeat myself for you. I’m also not going to humour you by writing up entire paragraphs. Focus on a single thing, and I’ll respond to it.

Are you sure, absolutely sure you wanna use this particular example? Cuz you’re gonna be dunked dude :v

Careful not to betray your commitment to nonviolence, bud.

(still no acknowledgement of the Islamophobia of the cartoon)

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!


What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don’t be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia(Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You’ll be warned if you’re violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
