This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they'd like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.
Wow, I mean, capitalism is bad and communism will be good. It isn't a "hate boner" It is called having principles. If you think that the United States government, and the people who run it (the capitalist class) are committing serious crimes against humanity... why would you say "we" when you said "it's absolutely disgusting what we've done." You already identify with the crimes of your ruling class.
Those "examples" you gave of other human rights violations are spurious at best, US-ruling-class propaganda at worst. And you make several leaps in assuming that people are supportive of socialist states, or their struggle for self-determination against US empire, and support for specific instances of historic wrongs or mistakes. You clearly give "your own side" the benefit of the doubt or ignore it for the sake of attacking the US ruling-classes enemies. They aren't your enemies, reallly. You assume that all labor in the DPRK is slave labor? That is laughable, and outright propaganda. All of the things you listed are nothing compared to what the US is doing right now, and what it has done in recent memory. It is August 7th, can you think of anything historically important that occurred the day before and the day after this date? You have a chance to admit you aren't informed or passionate on the subject, and that you aren't an expert. You can decide to change you mind and stop identifying so strongly with the worlds greatest oppressors. Please. Take this chance to come outside of your bubble and relearn.
The point is that your insistence that you are owed some sort of "real statement" on the lemmygrad community and dev's support for "human rights violators" is farcical and partisan. It is a debate on communism vs capitalism because you are implying it by making a series of assumptions predicated on capitalists' arguments. If you can't see it, then you should spend some time reflecting on why you can't see it. You also shouldn't think that you are owed some sort of "real statement" if you can't bother to investigate the question on your own.
Well then, hexbear troll account, makes complete sense now. I hope you have a good day.
How is it a troll? This is my account. I didn't hide I was from hexbear. If you can't argue your point, it only underlines that you aren't standing on principle. I hope you reflect more on your own understanding of politics today, and that it brings disquiet and growth. But unfortunately, you might just continue to coddle yourself with the belief that you are right and good, and the heckin' marvel good guy's United States are only looking out for the human rights of Muslims and the global south, gee whiz.
