    I forced myself to read their drivel (it was painful) and they quite clearly were referring to the nation itself, not the people within it.

      I think you're willfully misreading their statement and being hostile and rude at the same time.

        Huh. Didn't know that leftists were beholden to the same bullshit respectability politics as liberals.

        If you expect me to be nice to someone siding with a genocidal state, I will put you on the same level I put liberals who force me to apologize to neo-Nazis for hurting their feelings. (read: calling them out)

          Advocating on behalf of the oppressed people inside the imperial core =/= advocating for the state. This is childish.

            Exhausting. I had enough of your gaslight attempts. It's clear as day what they meant by the message and I'm not going to debate you on this for the same reason I don't debate Nazis.

          This isnt a press conference addressing the nation, its not a debate, its a niche leftist internet forum where we generally try not to be assholes to each other. Its not respectability politics, its community norms, dork

            Yeah I know. I was calling their ban-baiting. It's when you talk a certain way to try to appeal to the moderators in an attempt to get someone you don't like banned. Common abuse tactic by Nazis to weaponize liberalism.

                Normal people use fash tactics all the time, some might not even realize they're doing it.

                    I've learned to recognize it through my repeat dealing with fash, I'm way more sensitive to subtle abuse tactics than is really healthy.

                    On the up side I've uncovered countless cryptofash doing that, so I mean... yay?
