Then the second option or even the bare minimum option I suggested still applies. If you really cared or didn’t support that crap you’d be less willing to justify it, with horribly bad faith arguments no less. If you think Germany’s law means you need to act like a neoliberal to be safe and condemn what “Germany” sees as “”“bigotry”“”[1] then you have made the choice to side with Zionists out of fear of persecution.

Hey, probably not a good idea to be using triple quotes around certain words. It dips into the triple parentheses. Please edit.

Nah, I doubt there’s any agents here. Maybe some chatbots here, I’ve encountered some, but not state trolls.

They just have a lot of free-time on their hands and they’re too deep in their extremist bubble to explore the real world a bit.

That figures. YPTB, for whatever reason, always defends lemmy.ml and tankies and will ban anyone who doesn’t think Israel should be destroyed.

Dbz0 is a very antisemitic instance. They don’t allow any comments or accounts whatsoever defending Israel, even if it’s the innocent civilian populace.

Holding all Israelis accountable for Zionism is not Anti-Zionism: it’s collective guilt, which is antisemitic and racist.

A good rule of thumb to determine racism is if you assign blame based on something someone cannot choose, such as their ethnicity, religion or ancestry, then it’s racist. An Israeli civilian, born in Israel, does not volunteer to be zionist and shouldn’t be held accountable for it.

I’ve found this is a good way to determine if someone is antisemitic or not: Many Israelis and Jews support Zionism, that is, the existence of Israel as a Jewish State. Should being Israeli or Jewish automatically make someone responsible or subject to different treatment because of Zionism or Israel’s actions?

oh it’s diva! Diva’s funny

‘I’m not a tankie, I’m an anarchist!’

‘Here’s an image where you call yourself a tankie.’

‘MODS. BAN THEM PLS’

You got banned from YPTB?

It’s very peculiar how the group that prides itself on identifying dogwhistles and cryptofascism is seemingly ignorant of antisemitic dogwhistles, despite just ten years ago being overtly aware of these antisemitic dogwhistles.

It’s campism to the extreme

Purely for curiosity’s sake, I don’t think Israel’s populace should be destroyed. Does that make me zionist?

Move the German instance out of Germany?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to limit antisemitism while still allowing antizionism?

Why ban?

Yeah, Lemmy is such a circlejerk when it comes to mentioning that maybe murdering innocent people regardless of their flag is probably not a good thing.

Antisemitism is a serious issue on Lemmy, I’ve encountered plenty of users who unironically use the term “zio,” which was coined by David Duke. I’ve also seen some antisemitic fashwave posted here and there.

Suppose it’s only natural, tankies are antisemites and lemmy is tankie, so it’s to be expected.

'WHY ARE PEOPLE LEAVING FOR PIEFED?!’

get back to work dessalines

It’s so bizarre. They’re so deep in the campist nonsense they can’t admit there are bad examples of communism.

His method of debate is gish-gallop, where he just spams a bunch of blatantly biased sources and expects you to go through every single one of them. If you do challenge, he’ll report you to the tankie mods or admins, and they’ll immediately ban you and remove your comments.

I’ve challenged him a few times and every single time, he’s needed a mod to bail him out.

Tankies can’t argue. It’s because their beliefs aren’t based in reality; they have to rely on conspiracy and whataboutism.

He lies a bunch and pretends to be an authority. His lies are shown, and he instead doubles down. He can’t admit his faults.

I only ban if they’re legitimately trolling, spamming silly images, and pinging random people, then pretending they never pinged them.

Tankies know they can come into this community and do as you described, but they don’t, since they know they’re wrong and will be proven wrong. They can’t risk their usual talking points being countered without a tankie mod banning the person countering.

Yeah I rarely ban users, you can check out modlog if you’re unsure.

I don’t ban tankies who rarely wander into here because if I do, their claims of this being an echo-chamber become true.

Comparisons don’t magically change the holocaust. Both were genocides, that’s the point.

There’s no revision going on here

Such projection.

If you’re a tankie visiting this community, come and post! You won’t be banned

Identical. Even their memes are the same.

‘6 million ovens!’

‘big spoons!’

Genocide is a joke to them.
