Even if there's a valid point to be made, it can't be made with exact same language used to justify genocide.
Its the difference between calling for the abolition of Israel and calling for Israelis to be gassed.
@DashEightMate @WhyEssEff @TransComrade69 Why the hell was this removed? No one is having a struggle session over cultural genocide.
What is there to struggle about this except absolute criticism? Is there anything or anyone to defend it?
Edit: or are you saying cultural genocide is a topic for strugglesesh on a socialist website?
Oh when non-vegans do it, its shitstirring. Ok got it.
Also this comment is still up and that person is still a mod of that comm.
I'm saying a mod calling for checks notes assimilation of indigenous people(with all of its history and baggage) on hexbear.net calls for demodding at best and banning at worst.
What am I supposes to do? report it? I did but the mod there was agreeing with it and didn't remove it.
Sure, I agree. But a mod calling for cultural assimilation of indigenous people is not a good look and should not get a pass just cause they're vegan and a mod.
Context and intent is important. Saying it in response to someone calling out someone else for mass re education of indigenous people and all the baggage associated with it and hand waving it away by saying "they'll just assimilate" is chauvinistic af.
I want to credit the mod/admin team for making this site a welcoming place for many marginalized peoples since its inception. But when indigenous comrades are leaving the site in droves I think there's something really wrong. I know modding is a thankless job and I don't want to add to y'alls burden but I feel more needs to be done to make this site a safe space for our indigenous comrades.
Anotha one and here is an indigenous comrade who posted it on her leaving post
I can't even begin to imagine what it'd be like to suffer centuries of brutal genocide and then have the descendants of those genocidaires call you a barbarian for wanting to practice a culture that their forefathers took from your people at gun point.
The kicker to this for me is if any of them are in Eastern Canada/USA, there is a high chance they are using electricity built on the destruction of indigenous lands to call the surviving indigenous people trying to retain scraps of our culture 'barbarians' that don't care about the earth and animals for not ordering enough quinoa grown half a continent away at 15-50x the price they pay for theirs.
It was upvoted and there was a mod right in that thread who didn't ban them. Not until I made the post, so this shit needs to be aired.
I got banned from the vegan sub by an 11 day old account mod for arguing against this very point. You can look in my history to prove it
c/vegan seems to have appointed some people from /r/vegancirclejerk as mods after that sub got banned. I'm not convinced that those aren't just admin/moderator sockpuppet accounts either.
should have promoted from within our own imo. Why would we be able to trust 11 day old accounts
fair. c/vegan mods have in general done a god awful job at moderating that comm
Yeah that’s me and I got banned for arguing the controversial idea that forced cultural assimilation is a bad thing
honestly, I think some of the c/vegan mods deserve a ban. There's a mod in the comments endorsing this awful post https://hexbear.net/post/94436
