First comment removed from asklemmy thread about who’s good/bad re Israel/Palestine is apparently too nuanced and anti-extremist for snowflake dessalines. Ya gotta fuel the hate and extremism if ya wanna comment round tankie parts…
The linux ban was regarding a comment (pretty sure the OG comment was different) about Russian maintainers being removed from the linux project. Obviously you can’t call out capitalist Putin’s authoritarian dictatorship in the communist sub, because ML mods are pro-authoritarian and pro-dictatorship; not anti-capitalist… At this point I’m convinced most “tankies” are just PsyOps operatives.
In response to the post title, yes but also you cannot say outright that you’re pro-capitalist-dictatorship you have to pretend that the capitalist-dictatorship you support is somehow communism.
It’s communism because people get (rightly) punished for criticizing the state. That’s the qualifier.
As sensitive removed ass moderators ideologically committed to remaining sensitive removedes, they sympathize deeply with an authoritarian’s emotional turmoil when criticized by his people.
