Come one come all to the Lemmy-verse! It's nice and cozy here, we do have some "bad parts of town" but you can do an instance block and not deal with them lol
Love everything about reddit but inexplicably wish to leave it?
Hate the idea of an english speaking internet that doesn't slavishly adhere to the party line of the US alphabet agencies?
Do you think the parable of the nazi bar is bunch of hokum?
Do you have shrieking anger towards people who refused to support genocide while having shrieking anger at (usually the same) people rejecting decades long debunked accusations of genocide made by the perpetrators of aforementioned genocide?
Join the lemmyverse! We have racism! We have homophobia! We have trans misogyny! We have daily 5 minutes hate!
And if anyone tells you different, have you considered they're a paid shill by the notorious gay sex haver Putler??
There’s a big difference between ‘there’s Nazis in our military’ vs ‘our government is erecting monuments of Nazis.’
It’s not even ‘almost a genocide.’ The US officials are trying to save face. The CIA and State Dept were training Uyghur extremists to destabilize the region, and they’re pissed China put a stop to it, and started rehabilitating the militants.
This strikes me as much of the root of the problem here, of why immature and uneducated people are drawn to fascism. You all treat it like team sports.
You really can’t even imagine opposing Russia while also opposing Nazis. Or you’re just a Nazi looking to groom people into the ideology with Russiaphobia.
I'm a Finnish person with detailed understanding of Russia.
We literally fought Nazis and Russia, both.
I constantly criticise the US for it's growing fascism. I also heavily criticise my own country for its authoritarian tendencies. See unlike you, I don't have a preferred flavour when it comes to injustice. I'm disgusted by it all.
So your attempt at generalising is really ironic here. You are literally doing what you blame "others" for doing "treating it like team sports". But you can't accept a single criticism of Russia. And would NEVER admit to the WELL DOCUMENTED war crimes they've pulled during their ILLEGAL INVASION of a sovereign country with some ridiculous excuse of "we are invading them to save them from Nazism and install our dear leader".
"ideology of Russiaphobia"
First of, it's "russophobia". Secondly, no, pointing out facts about Russia, like their endless amount of war crimes isn't any sort of discrimination, вахтера.
I’ve not defended Russia once. I’m attacking Nazis, and you’ve taken extreme offense to it. Which really undermines your comment. If you’re actually anti-Nazi, stop defending them.
You're basically saying that anyone who criticises Russian war crimes is a Nazi. And then when I ignore your childish "he's a Nazi" bullshit, you say that's evidence I'm a nazi.
You can't control your projection.
I know you won't answer this, but I'm gonna do it so that other's see too; do you accept that Russia has committed loads of documented crimes against humanity in their illegal invasion of a sovereign country?
If you're actually "attacking Nazism", then you know we fight nazism, because it's fascism. We fight fascism because cruel totalitarian regimes shouldn't exist and everyone should be able to live safely and have their human rights respected. If that is so, then you must oppose the Russian government, as it's clearly a totalitarian regime with a despotic leader. So, do you oppose Putin and his government's endless crimes against humanity?

Never once said criticizing Russia makes someone a Nazi. And I’ve criticized Russia multiple times, and acknowledged their war crimes.
You’re making a pathetic attempt at DARVO, and projecting. You’re accusing anyone who criticizes Nazis of being pro-Russia. The more you come to the defense of Nazis, the worse it’s looking for you.
He's saying Ukraine is Nazi, pretty directly, to justify Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Pretty different from saying someone is Hitler because they're vegetarian. So different in fact one might be inclined to think you weren't actually making an argument in good faith, but strawmanning mine.
How fun! Just call literally anything you want a genocide (like literally any war, drought, or prison) and then play act outrage when anyone asks you to have a sense of personal shame or honesty!
Please explain how you think that article relates to anything that has been said in this thread. No one other than you has tried to draw an equivalence between the holocaust and any other genocide.
Trump is a fascist and so are you. He's just less of one because he could put his own personal political interests above doing a genocide whereas you were willing to lose an election to go full bore.
