That isn't how I'm seeing any of this.

Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Whether they are grounded in reality is another matter. Every case of "Zionist censorship" listed in the dbzer0 post boils down to one of their members calling to kill the other side or calling someone Zionist because they don't support killing the other side.

Are you really denying that Lenin killed several millions of people?

Genocide is when you kill a bunch of people, apparently.

I meant the inability between distinguishing moderating hate speech and supporting genocide. Lemmy.ml definitely has its problem with nuanced positions.

Yes, we should be moderating hate speech and opposing genocide. The hate speech and genocide direct at the Palestinian people by the Israeli Settler Colony.

And all of that is 100% possible without having any conflicts with the existing rules. If you cant voice your opinion without direct hate speech that sounds pretty much like a you problem.

The internet is awesome. You can discuss genocides with someone who named himself after an dictator who did several genocides! Who has a picture of this dictactor in his profile! And this guy is attacking others for "defense of genocide"! Great invention this internet thingy!

What genocides did Lenin commit? How was he a "dictator?" Do you have any idea what you're talking about, or are you just saying things like this to avoid needing to have an actual point?

People like them have nothing to offer but deflection and whataboutisms. Blocking them allows the propaganda to spread and influence others uncontested. Best method is to downvote their posts but don't engage with them, they feed off of the attention they get.

Na, I don't have a lot of spoons for this anymore. I don't want to read that, because I'm a little impulsive sometimes and have a hard time not to engage, and I need the energy for people I may actually convince. Not just in political questions, just generally. There are more important things than infighting on the internet.

But just to clear this up once more: I am against genocide I support resistance against genocide I still hold resistance groups to certain minimal standards Hamas does not fulfill my standards So no, I do not support Hamas.

We shouldn't allow people defending morally wrong stuffs that goes to all the ideological spectrum.Now answer the question would you allow supremacist and genocidal ideologies in the platforms you use?

Yeah because I'm centrist and according to lemmy nutbags I'm already genocidal supremacist by proxy, because to them any ideology outside of marxism-leninism is inherently genocidal or something.

Nor am I naive or arrogant enough to believe I am the singular person who should determine what 'genocidal' means. There are UN organizations for that.

Leftist vs liberal infighting has been going on since the late 1700s.

Of course what you really have to ask yourself is, if they've been infighting since basically the beginning and if their ideals are diametrically opposed then is it even in fighting?

There is a difference between calling for self-defense, calling for killings and supporting Hamas killing civilians.

Idk where you got that those sites don't defend Jews. I feel very supported in those places, and the moderation on Hexbear at least takes antisemitism seriously(I can't say for the other two because I'm on there less often, but I'm yet to hear anything that would make me doubt that they defend their Jewish users as well)

Well I don't think Nazism is one single thing dude. Not all Nazis are the same and think the same things. Every ideology has internal debates and various camps. It all depends on the specifics, which is why I would rather deal with it user by user and judge users for their actions, not their ideologies/beliefs. I also understand the concept of context. Is a community that is making fun of Nazis by using their slogans, promoting Nazism? A lot of people certainly could not draw the distinction. What about a community that wants to talk about Nazism in a historical context? Is that promoting genocide?

You call it 'deflection' I called it being reasonable and not making massive generalizations. Nazism and Zionism are not One Big Thing That is Evil. Lots of people, yourself include, probably have beliefs that are in agreement with several aspects of them, and disagree with others. My beef isn't with an ideology, it's with calls to violence, no matter what ideology they are coming from. And lots and lots of people from various ideologies call for violence and perpetuate hate and rage. I see a buttload of it coming from lemmy leftists of various self-identified flavors. If I am going to assume Nazis are evil and bad them for their violent ideology, then I've got to basically ban communists/socialists/anarchists too, because by your logic both are equivalently evil.

But the main disagreement we have here is that you think ideologies are the problem. I don't. I think people are the problem. If a particular insane of 'Nazis' has self identified and organized itself around violence and hate, sure I'd ban them. But there are tons of contexts in which discussion of Nazis and their beliefs would be totally permissible and admirable. I myself have done various history projects on the KKK and supremacy and papers on the ideology in my academic career. Am I therefore promoting or believing in Nazi ideology?

In a professional context, like say legit hate groups being investigated by FBI or the press, what is targeted is the actions of the group and the individuals therein. That's what I'm interested in policing, not thought or discussion.

Incorrect and also hasbara. This is an ahistorical orientalist fabrication that is designed to obscure the very clear and obvious colonial nature of ā€œIsraelā€.

Wait... Are you saying that Israelis became the "nomad nation" and moved from country to country just for shits and giggles? That they left Israel because they wanted to, and not because the Persians persecuted them?

Your entire view of the so-called ā€œconflictā€ is based on zionist lies

Could you elaborate? Does that mean that Israelis shoot rockets at themselves?

We all get why Germany has strong laws against antisemitism, given its history. That doesn't mean German support towards Israel need to be unconditional, which is what has happened, in effect. The left, the right and the center in Germany all seem to agree on one thing... unconditional support for Israel.

"German history and our responsibility arising from the Holocaust make it our duty to stand up for the existence and security of the State of Israel." -- Olaf Scholz, October 2024.

You are basically taking the same line as Scholz, despite the fact Israel has proven itself to be a fascist ethnostate that seems intent on genociding all its neighbours. Anyone who is still committed to justifying or both-sidesing the Israeli genocide of Palestinians needs a smack in the head imo.

I do accept the fact you have acknowledged the genocide. But then why are you so hung up about folk making equivalences between fascist genocidal Israelis and fascist genocidal Nazis? It's about the most obvious comparison one could make. Arguing that it's a false equivalence is simply another way to excuse the atrocities committed by Israel. Statements like "Israel has done a few bad things, but they are nowhere near as bad as the Nazis, so you mustn't make a direct comparison" are nothing more than genocide apologia. Just because Israel has done a "smaller" genocide (so far) doesn't mean shit to me. Zionist ideology is just as reprehensible as Nazi ideology.

More than 75,000 Palestinians were killed in the first 15 months of Israel's military assault in Gaza, a figure far higher than the 49,000 deaths local health officials announced at the time, says a new study by The Lancet Global Health medical journal.
The peer-reviewed study, published on Wednesday, found that women, children and the elderly comprised some 56.2% of violent deaths in Gaza during that period, a composition that it said roughly aligned with reporting by Gaza's health ministry. [...]

"The combined evidence suggests that, as of Jan 5, 2025, 3–4% of the population of the Gaza Strip had been killed violently and there have been a substantial number of non-violent deaths caused indirectly by the conflict," the authors wrote. Source

That's guilt by association. It's a fallacy. Lots of national leaders and founders were racists and horrible people in various factors. That doesn't mean the states necessarily were or are or forever will be.

I don't claim to be anything. You are making all the claims here about who is what. Where I stand agonizing about genocide and dividing everyone up into pro and anti is simply stupid. My understanding is that the current Israeli government and its hardliner supporters are are engaged in a unnecessary escalated conflict, largely motivated by their own beliefs. However, that has not always been the case and various parties in the government do not agree. The conflict in Gaza is part of a much larger history that goes back centuries and isn't 'Zionism'.

But I'm interested in history and reality, not moralizing catchphrases and moral grandstanding over issues for which my views have zero political relevance or impact. I'm not a citizen of the state of Israel.
