      Looked through the modlog and it looks like most of your removed posts are just you being a belligerent asshole, so shrug-outta-hecks

      That's no good. Can you provide a link to these arguments so we can make sure that the admins aren't abusing their power?

          If we have a link to the page we can go through it on the modlog or even using the wayback machine to see what was actually said though, and even if we can't, we could still see what the tankie is saying and see if it also violates the rules.

            you talk about tankies a lot. are they in the room with you right now? why do you keep getting into arguments about a 1950s fascist counter-revolution in hungary?

              I had a spare 30 seconds. You're really boring and unoriginal. I was at least hoping for a good laugh. Maybe don't harass people in PMs if you don't want admins to ban you? That might help.

                helpful, thanks for your input.

                also i never harrassed anyone. i responded only to people who were replying to me after mods/admins took away my ability to do so publically

                  "I never harassed anyone!"

                  "I just went in their DMs and kept demanding people debate me after it was clear they weren't interested in talking to me and wouldn't leave them alone!"

                  "I'm totally the victim here guys!"

                  Also, for a guy who said you have "better things to do" you sure do like wasting your time trying to start arguments in the comments here while insisting you don't have time for that.

            it was an essay that it's self referenced the black book of communism and talked about the limitations of that particular text; then went on to talk about other obscenely large figures of deaths at the hands of maoism from other sourcea. so yeah, the 70 million figure may have been incorrect, but that doesn't mean a lot of people didnt die.

            i'm not getting into this conversation again though, i got banned last time, so dont reply expecting me to take the bait.

              Just in general, the deaths argument is really bad. Under Mao Chinese life expectancy more than doubled - even if we take at face value the largest estimates for the famine, far, far more people lived longer, happier, and healthier lives as a result of Mao's policies than had their lives ended prematurely by them.

              And that's before getting into the incredibly muddy waters of culpability - the famine was preceded by a drought, how many of the deaths then are the CPC's fault and how many are strictly the fault of nature? The CPC in part worsened the famine by implementing bad agricultural science - but they didn't know it was bad agricultural science at the time, should they be held responsible for it anyway? And so on and so on.

              then went on to talk about other obscenely large figures of deaths at the hands of maoism from other sourcea.

              Ending the practice of footbinding alone justifies every single thing Mao ever did. You don't even have to include the fact that life expectancy was 33 years old at the time of the revolution starting, or that it went UP during the revolution, during a period of 2 civil wars and a brutal fascist invasion, because the communists were still somehow improving more lives under those conditions. Life expectancy was in the 60s by Mao's death.

              Did he make mistakes? Sure he did, he shouldn't have killed all the sparrows and the cultural revolution was kinda hit n miss mostly miss. But come the fuck on lifespans do not go UP while people's lives are getting worse, shorter, or whatever.

              Footbinding on the other hand was a brutal horrific practicing affecting 50% of all poor women and 100% of rich women. For a thousand years. Holy shit yes Mao was justified.

              This is ultra basic stuff mate you're better than this. 70% good, 30% bad. Overall an obviously positive effect on China. Taking "a lot of people died" out of context and into isolation instead of comparing it to how many people were already dying and how things improved is pure hog brained propaganda and you shouldn't fill your head with that method of looking at things, it's the analysis of a literal child or someone that is criminally thick.

      I can understand GenZedong, since they're a pretty tankie instance...

      The rest... you should explain for yourself individually...

      'Hostile', 'Dm Harrassment', et 'Rule 2' which is NSFW?

        Maybe Rule 2 here refers to lemmy.ml's rule 2, rather than the community rule 2. Instance rule 2 is "Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here."

        Edit: these are the comments made by this user that were removed:

        Show

        The last one references !comics@lemmy.ml's rule 1 ("be civil").

        The antepenultimate comment made in this thread (about a news article about the increasing amount of african students enrolling in russian language classes) references lemmy.ml's rule 1 ("No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.")

        The others are about lemmy.ml's rule about respectfulness.

          It also contradicts his claims that he was banned for "disagreeing with tankies" because he wasn't, he was just spouting anti-Russian hate and telling people that the "tankies" are all evil Putinbots. That's why I said he was so boring before, because this is some amateur hour lib shit.

      Thanks for proving once again that libs are incapable of having a rational conversation when at risk of having their world view changed
