I don't get it. Huh? I find sentiment on .ml extremely anti-Zionist.
they didn't say it was hypocritical, just empty criticism. They are implying that ml instances are no less egregious about the types of bad content they allow, even if the content itself is different
"B-b-but my side virtuous (in all ways, and can do no wrong), while their side ignoramus (everything they do is because they are poopy-heads)!"
I wish I could add /s here but a good half the population on earth seems to hold to this as an invariant position, solidarity in the face of all obstacles, i.e. the Nazi bar effect.
Case in point: who doesn't love it when a religious institution offers food and shelter and medical care to the needy, or counsels people to forgive, laying down their burdens and seek therapy to thereby travel lighter through the world? It is the diddling kids part that for some strange reason (/s on this one) people tend to get upset?
Since we were talking about Zionism here, I will mention that Deuteronomy 13:5 (in the Torah, part of the Old Testament for Christian and Muslim and offshoot religious branches such as Mormonism) provides an EXTREMELY stern warning about those who would misuse their authority to lead people astray.
TLDR: intolerance paradox - if you tolerate the intolerant, it corrupts the entire system, giving it a bad reputation when people see the worst excesses and extrapolate that to infer the properties of the whole. e.g. Reddit is fascist, hence we did not stay and put up with it but rather moved here.
They are wrong.
You might be a little biased.
Unlike yourself and that other user, who are simply neutral observers? lmao
They're pretty anti zionist. Only because Israel represents the west in all its brutality. They fully support the Russian invasion and genocide of Ukraine though, hence the hypocrisy.
There is no genocide in Ukraine. Ukranians are Russians.
Truly a .ml stance haha. Do you think the people in Ukraine consider themselves Russian? Is that why they're fighting tooth and nail to avoid the Russian oppressors?
They're fighting because the US made them. They would be perfectly happy Russians if not for NATO.
And this is why normal users look at .ml with disdain haha
wut? Even lemmygrad.ml doesn't - their support of the Russian Federation's invasion has always been critical, not full. Just like their support for Hamas is critical - it's extremely obvious that neither the capitalist-run RF nor the Islamist Hamas are groups they agree with at all.
(I am not a campist, I'm simply explaining the campist concept of "critical support")
So critical that we never ever hear them criticize Russia for it.
So critical you'll be instantly banned for saying anything critical of Russian imperialism.
Did you know that inventing "genocides" based on perceived vibes and presenting them as equivalent to extremely real, well-documented, and universally agreed upon actual genocides is a form of genocide denial? Liberals such as yourself have been doing the work of fascists like this for a long time, this type of Holocaust denial is called "double genocide theory".
What Russia is doing:
Definition of Genocide:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_genocide_of_Ukrainians_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_war
Unless you think all the shit Russia is doing is just CIA propaganda.
Everything is a cia color revolution to them.
And everything is a genocide to you
No, this one is just a self-serving fabrication by a few nazi-supporting governments.
Do you know what the word "allegation" means?
Do you also insist there's a genocide in South Africa?
Is that the word used to describe Trump's pedophilia?
It's also the word to describe Hilary Clinton's baby eating
As I said, by treating this as equivalent to the near universally recognized genocide in Gaza, you are engaging in a form of genocide denial. Funny, the map of (the very few) countries that recognize this has a large overlap with the map of countries that do the same form of denial with the Holocaust.
Is your name Lenin Weave after the way you dodge criticism?
I don't see how highlighting Khurbn denial is dodging criticism.
Somehow, you don't see the irony.
You weren't criticizing me, I am just watching you dodge theirs.
They directly addressed it, ya lying freak
I didn't dodge theirs, I directly addressed it. Their "criticism" is a form of genocide denial. They are fabricating "equivalent" atrocities to a real genocide. Similarly, your "neutral observer" trick here is a cheap way to pretend you're not taking a side in an argument so that you can dodge criticism of the side you are picking. See the irony?
I think they're talking about stuff like the holodomor or the uyghurs in china.
Yeah, probably the South African white genocide too, right?
