“No, maybe that wasn’t it. Words precede and surpass me, they tempt and alter me, and if I am not careful it will be too late: things will be said without my having said them. Or, at the very least, that wasn’t the only thing. My entanglement comes from how a carpet is made of so many threads that I can’t resign myself to following just one; my ensnarement comes from how one story is made of many stories. And I can’t even tell them all— a more truthful word could from echo to echo cause my highest glaciers to crumble down the precipice.” - Clarice Lispector

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Update-> I Was Banned Comments blocked on the Ukraine community for being considered "Rule 3"?
2·26 days agoThank you so much for the kind words!
I feel very passionately about Ukraine and will return to posting regularly about it, but probably not on the sopuli.xyz Ukraine instance.
Nobody really bothered to address my concerns, @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz reached out to me personally and the second I pushed back on their framing they cut off communication.
I received no response from @Burstar@sopuli.xyz for their moderation actions.
I have received lots of little messages saying that people at sopuli.xyz like me but the lack of meaningful reaction to a mod silencing criticism of Israel quite blatantly and repeatedly from myself and others is alarming at this juncture in world history.
I don’t know how to feel other than kind of disconnected, it is important to me to keep posting updates about the Ukraine War, it doesn’t stop for my feelings but I just think it is so damn frustrating and indicative how the sopuli.xyz moderation team treated me with oven mitts from 1000 miles away while likely coddling the Zionist? mod who can’t handle anyone questioning whether Israel has actually behaved as an ally to Ukraine.
Are their personal issues are too tied up in the politics of this for them to see this lucidly? What makes me upset is that the rest of sopuli.xyz just kind of fell silent about it and made me feel like I was the problem.
Ukraine has no missile interceptors, and there is no end to the shortage of them in sight now. THE ONLY REASON FOR THIS are the choices Netanyahu/Israel and Trump/US made to launch the Iran War when they did and they were told repeatedly by advisors that this would be the inevitable result. I cannot emphasize this enough.
I was banned for responding to someone’s comments about Israel too, it wasn’t even like I brought Israel into the conversation, I just challenged the axiomatic assumption the person was making about Israel being Ukraine’s ally and that was enough to have my comments removed and be banned.

162·27 days agoI don’t really think you have done what you say, and if you have in this thread it has been from a defensive and reactive standpoint that concedes context and nuance rather than willingly invoking them.

203·27 days agoI didn’t say any of those things, I am pointing out you are carrying water for european slavery empires by stripping the context.
If you cannot get over the individual to understand the context, your understanding of people and history will continue to be egregiously broken and myopic.

How so?
I am a human posting, there is nothing automated about what I do.
I always try to post high quality stuff and I encourage you to contribute!
I want more interesting science news here that isn’t superficial, I want science news that links right to papers encouraging people to open them up and poke around. This is why I post so much to mander.xyz, I am tired of waiting for that future.

3·1 month ago7.4… that is a lot of violent force, oh my, my heart goes out to Colombia.
























edit I misinterpreted the thrust of what you are saying, there is language and narratives in what you are saying that I don’t agree with, did someone honestly tell you the color of your skin was problematic for being white…?
However my initial read was not correct, sorry.
Also, yes, conservatives still are the serious problem here despite how much hypocritical liberals lean into the problem too.
