What is lemmy.world doing defederating before hexbear even federates?
lemmy.world/instances This is what it took to defederate from exploding-heads
after being federated with them since the start of lemmy.world

[https://lemmy.world/post/747912?scrollToComments=true] What evidence do you
have of hexbear breaking the lemmy or citizen code of conduct? Has the criteria
for defederation changed? Hexbear is one of the largest and most active lemmy

My mom saw a BBC documentary about how Stalin was literally enslaving most of the Soviet population. I asked her why he did this, and of course there was no explanation. He was just a mad man that somehow was able to compel literally everyone to do whatever he wanted. Also, he wasn't motivated by Marxism, but by crippling insecurity because he was a short king (like me).
I pointed out that he definitely didn't seem insecure.
This was 2 years ago. Cold War myth making is still happening.
The "He's just insane and does bad things for inexplicable insane reasons" is very popular with American Liberals. Like we clown on them for not having material analysis or even having a concept of material analysis and then they largely prove it by ascribing the behavior of any world forces that oppose their regime to mental illness. Saddam? Putin? Xi? Fidel? All of them insane! Stark raving bonkers. Because the world runs on vibes, not the competing material interests of classes and states.
The other mode of thought that I often encounter (through my mom, who pre 2016 media overdosing actually had some class instinct) is that you can't counter any negative assertion made about someone "bad," even if it's not true. It'll manifest with her saying something like "well, on top of everything else, Putin doesn't even do anything. He's really lazy." Then I'll say something like "How the fuck do you know?" Then you get accused of defending Putin. It's anti-materialism.
Don't even bother asking a question like "why did 9/11 actually happen?" If you try to find a solution by starting with the reality of a situation you might as well be Osama himself.

Sources? Standards of evidence? Nope, “BBC said so” will do.
