  • You wrote, “I got banned for criticizing Venezuela”, whereas from the mod log it appears most likely that the reason is not related to any mention of Venezuela. The comments still available for review make no mention of Venezuela or anything related to Venezuela.

    Regardless, at issue is not whether the assumption is false, that you are transphobic, but simply, as a fact, that you are more likely to banned or censored by leftists if you are found posting such content.

    If your content in one instance attracts concern from a moderator, then they are likely to use the information available, including your post history, to predict whether you are likely to be a constructive participant in their community. Someone who feels concerned enough to post about what is underneath the clothes of trans people has provided, willfully, an indication of not being someone they would welcome.

    As for whether you are transphobic, I of course lack any direct knowledge about you. Perhaps you have an agreeable motive for asking the question, but the plain observation is that you are thinking and acting as someone transphobic. You may think you are still not transphobic, but I remind you of the duck test, and also the trope, “I am not racist but…”.

    Claiming not to be transphobic is only meaningful if you act not as transphobic instead of acting as a transphobic.

    Finally, in the ML community, you chose to act as an anti-communist troll, you were banned for acting as an anti-communist troll, and then complained for being banned, pretending the ban serves as evidence that you were treated inappropriately or unfairly, that you were right and others were wrong.

    If you resent someone else restricting your anti-communist trolling in a leftist community, then you are not meaningfully a leftist, despite your claims. Alternatively, if you agree with the action, then your complaint is absurd on its face.

    Generally, it appears to me that you insist on claims about yourself that contradict your actions, while blaming others and avoiding responsibility. Whatever problems are caused by some authoritarian leftists, your example is no better than of the ones you have been found to have directly criticized.



  • Many of the comments are trying to appraise whether Ukraine authentically has something akin to a “Nazi problem”.

    The most basic observations are that Ukraine has Nazis and that all Nazis are a problem. The same is true of other nations.

    Every source either will seek to exaggerate or to minimize the severity and relevance of the problem. Simply, even by someone of greatest possible moral purity, there is no objective or neutral means to appraise the matter.

    A pro-Ukraine community naturally will take every measure to repel content appearing to vindicate Russian nationalism.





  • I cannot do any more than repeat my explanation one last time, that you are anchored to a straw man.

    The basic fact is exceedingly simple. Hamas, a faction of Palestinians, is engaged in an armed struggle with Israel, which is perpetrating atrocities against Palestine.

    Such an uncontroversial observation should not provoke such confusion or hostility.

    Of course, it would be more favorable for Palestine to have the means of acquiring more potent military capacities.

    If you want to ask a question, then please find one that is not meaningless within the context.








  • Hamas emerged from within the context of a brutal occupation.

    Before Israel, there was no Hamas.

    Before the Nakba, there was no Hamas.

    Hamas is fundamentally a construct of colonial resistance.

    It is not seriously a threat to any interests except Israel atrocities. Even if it did threaten Palestinians, the threat would be dwarfed by such atrocities of Israel. Palestinians are far safer through Hamas than they would be without Hamas. It is easy to imagine a superior alternative, but none actually exist in the present.



  • Hamas is labeled terrorist because it was assigned the label by Israel.

    Hamas is terrorist only as much as one terrorist entity is credible to decide exactly which groups or factions are terrorist.

    More generally, terrorist simply is a label states assign to their non-state enemies.

    By the same standards, the Continental Army would be terrorist, as would be been essentially every belligerent that has engaged in anti-colonial struggle.

    Regardless, it should be concrete facts, not abstract labels, that are used to support arguments and conclusions.
