I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of 'hitlerites'

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

  • Your username reads like someone making fun of trans people. My guess is you’re transphobic and actively discouraged people from supporting Biden because you wanted Trump to win.

    This is why I don't go out on Lemmy all that often.

    Edit: from the same user

    If you think Hexbear is trans-friendly, then you’re transphobic.

          They banned me on Political Memes for asking why comments calling out the Democrat's role in the Palestinian Genocide were getting removed for "misinformation." So, technically, I have been banned from there.

            my prediction that biden would spend the rest of his lame duck continuing to send unconditional aid and support to Israel was removed as "disinformation". then im pretty sure the admin responsible posted a reply on his alt gloating about it with a tired Gotye meme.

      Would be cool if we had a transphobiacountbot.

      Or like a bigotrycountbot or reactionarycountbot or whatever you wanna call it.

      A bot like the nwordcountbot but for all the things, and it just goes thru a users modlog and checks if they have had any action for any of the things. Would be fun.

    I can’t help but wonder if tankies are the political equivalent of flat-earthers. I should probably ask that on NSQ some time, when I can figure out a way of asking that won’t get me banned.

    it's the other way around. 'we live in a democracy because i can drive across state borders and buy things' is equivalent to saying the Earth is flat because you can see the city over the horizon.

      No we are a democracy because we vote and they aren't because they vote, but in a different way.
      What makes our voting the right kind of voting? Well we are a democracy and that's the way democracies vote, which means it's the right kind of voting. They aren't because they don't vote like that.
      Also they imprison people for their political opinions, we don't. We imprison people for rioting and protesting in the wrong way and suing oil companies on behalf of indigenous tribes.

      I'm doing probably the best I ever have. For the first time in my life (and I'm not young chomsky-yes-honey) I have a partner who loves me as much as I love them (previous relationships were full of doubts, suspicions, accusations, and general ambivalence from partners) and I'm filled with a previously unthinkable amount of warmth and joy. The society I live in is absolutely depraved and must be destroyed but I finally have a space in my life where I can get a little reprieve and recuperate.

        Even in their propaganda, they can't help but reveal their rules perverty-based worldview by calling what they think these people did crimes. Like, you think that the people leading these national liberation movements were net worse than hitler, and the word you use to condemn them are "crimes"?. We're witnessing an actual genocide in real time and words fail to convey the horror, but people of conscience use words like monstrosity, butchery. But to just lazily brand your ostensible worst ideological enemies with "they were outside the law" is like...you don't even fucking care. Don't pretent to give a shit about Mao's ten quadrillion iron furnace casualties when the most emotion you can summon for them is apparently "he broke the rules." Fuck off dorkass, nobody believes in rules anymore, least of all you.

            I mean, as long as we're talking genuine criticisms, there's a pretty long list. Mao wasn't personally responsible for everything that happened in the Cultural Revolution but it was a huge mess, there may have been some good intentions at its core but the old 70% correct 30% mistakes addage is well known for a reason. I'm probably less critical of Stalin than Mao but Stalin relocated ethnic groups, trusted FDR and Churchill way too much, and did a pretty bad job of figuring out succession (as unexpected as his death was).
