I just got a comment deleted and my account banned from noncredibledefense@shitjustworks (or however they parse that out). It was a shitty meme fantasizing about Japan getting to do more murdering in China, in the event of a war over Taiwan. I got called a tankie and banned for questioning whether Japan had any appetite for a war with China, and that I thought S Korea would be kept out of the conflict by the threat from N Korea.

Friends, I did not glorify communism, nor did I take any position on the disposition of Taiwan. Basically my sin seems to have been pointing out the "non-credibility" of the meme.

Anyway, I just didn't know where else to post about this (can't even message the mod that banned me!). I know hexbears shun that whole server, so I guess I'm really finding out why.

    Like, don't get me wrong I sympathize pretty hard with communists, but I'm not reading all those books (seriously). I organize mostly with anarchists because I know a bunch of cool ones around here doing cool shit.

    Someone who works and organizes for the benefit of the working class is infinitely more productive than someone who just sits around absorbing increasingly esoteric snippets of Marxist lore.
