You have to look at it in terms of power dynamics though. Israel is a uS backed settler colonial apartheid regime that propped up Hamas because they would rather face Islamic fundamentalists then socialist opposition. They're either directly or indirectly responsible for all of the violence.

Only one side could hypothetically end the violence tomorrow.

Hexbear and Lemmygrad dont have antiwork stances? Also the US empire is the largest source of violence in the world today.

Well a lot of the rest of Lemmy have seen numerous examples of it which is why they keep getting defederated from instances.

NGL the users of the big instances that have defederated like .world are the majority of comments I have to delete here for overt racism, supporting genocide, etc. You can check the modlog if you dont believe me.

I'm sorry, I dont really trust the opinion of the admins of instances overflowing with calls for violence and racism.

This being about communism is a red herring as the lemmy.ml is run by self-proclaimed communists.

I've seen the admins be called tankies by the same people complaining about hexbear and grad.

Furthermore, I rarely ever see hexbear users actually discussing communism or any other economic system. Typically it’s just ad hominem remarks about “the west,” strawman arguments, concern trolling as if they’re innocent victims, and carrying water for the Chinese and Russian governments.

Yeah this comes off to me as someone who had read a bunch of their comments with no background understanding of why the US empire is the largest purveyor of violence in the world today. I cannot blame them for not having the resources or authority to educate everyone they encounter.

Surely not trying to liberate their own country after the US violently disbanded the democratic provisional government in the south, formed a right wing military dictatorship, and started killing pro democracy protestors by the tens of thousands. That would be fucked up if they were sanctioned for that.

If youre not going to read a history book on the conflict written from an anticolonialist perspective at least listen to the blowback season on the Korean war.

Yeah, the genocide at this point should be overt enough for more uniformed people to see

This is really good, the blockade extending to oil has taken like two years off life expectancy

Oh, theyre just part of a siege operation against the DPRK, that is so much better.

Hence why we remove it, we don't want to promote misinfo especially directed at the target group of an ongoing genocide

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If I recall correctly it described a genocide primarily through the lense of a two sided religious conflict. We remove that stuff as genocide apologia.

These people have no interest in good faith arguments and instead derail every post into irrelevant arguments filled with half-truths or outright disinformation.

I haven't really seen any evidence of this and worldnews gets a lot of hexbear and lemmygrad posters. It just comes off as red-scaring to me.

Sometimes you remove comment and then ban the user and the comment removal hasn't had time to propagate. But yeah, the vileness you see is the ballpark for what we remove.

It is almost like Jewish people have a conditional relationship with whiteness. The idf soldiers bombing children's hospitals certainly are capital W White.
