I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual
sh.itjust.works is a Nazi bar. There are some good users, but they have the most zionists, pro-imperialist users, mods, admins, etc.
PTB.
Well fuck
Typical Liberal hellhole, they constantly hit left and demand everyone give in to fascism and then claim somehow everyone else is dividing the left
Punch left, cater to the right. Then wonder why the left doesn’t trust them, as they vote in fascists with a better PR campaign.
Yep, Eugene V. Debs’ Ghost even pointed out how someone linked evidence of goat’s transphobia, then goat went and edited it away to hide it.
It was transphobia to be more exact. @princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone gave a link to Goat being transphobic while claiming to stand for trans people. Goat edited the link after months, after she posted the evidence.
I find personally people who are happy to see Palestinians die generally arent to fond of any other minorities (shocker)
Ah, my bad, thanks for the correction! I’ll fix my comment.
It’s amazing how goat is just here to get attention while saying it’s to clear their name but only makes themselves look worse
Keeps posting their own ass, people call them out, posts ass more. Rinse and repeat.
Them making up rules in this comm then being upset no one wanted to use them wasn’t on bingo card.
Yeah that’s embarrassing. Trying to get this post removed by making up rules, because they are being exposed for their bad faith arguments again and again.
Yep, they revel in the drama. Judge me by my biggest haters.
Honestly wonder if mwog was made specifically because of a slight they received on a grad comm or simply because they love attention
They didn’t make MeanwhileOnVoat or anything similar. There’s a reason why they don’t like one extremist group above another.
The latter, goat’s a cryptofascist.
-Jean-Paul Sartre
I’m not a cryptofascist.
If anyone’s a cryptofascist, it’s you, defending Russia and supporting Putin’s goals of reimplementing the USSR through imperialism and the war against Ukraine. You’re even doing so in this very thread.
If Putin actually wanted to reimplement the USSR, then it would already be socialist. You’re absolutely a cryptofascist, you cape for Israel, attack communism and communists, and host a Nazi-bar.
So why are you defending Russia if Putin is supposedly not wanting to reimplement the USSR? (He is)
Link me to where I have attacked communists, since I’ve defended communism, much to the dismay of my community
But you’re not a communist, Cowbee, you’re an authoritarian tankie.
Putin is trying to take advantage of the rising wave of support for socialism to retain support over the liberal opposition. I already showed that support for socialism is rising in Russia, Putin is opportunistically trying to feign support in order to retain legitimacy, but has no interest in actually implementing socialism.
Secondly, the entire purpose of MeanwhileOnGrad is to oppose communists and communism. “Tankie” isn’t an ideological position, it’s a pejorative for communists.

So a snark space?

It’s more of a snark space that the one you call snark spaces
how so?

No, I’m firmly anti-imperialist.
You were legitimately celebrating the hamas attack on Israel just the other day.
In that thread you literally used the Hamas red arrow that is taken from the Nazis.
It’s weird how yall point the finger at each other when you’re all gross as fuck.
Yes, I support the victims of genocide resisting said genocide. It is right to resist, I would not shed tears for Holocaust victims attacking Nazis.
The Red Triangle comes from the 1917 flag of the Arab Revolt, not the Nazis

There’s no evidence for systemic rape by Palestinian resistance. This is hasbara.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_occupation_of_Germany
Do you condemn the allied forces of WWII for their heinous rapes of the innocent civilians of Nazi Germany? Or do you have a different standard for when the perpetrators of rape are Muslim?
To be clear: sexual violence is always wrong, even in war. But the double standard for Arab Muslims is glaring.
yes

I support the Palestinian resistance actively fighting for their own survival against genocide.
They don’t have the means and aren’t commiting genocide so the point is moot.
Let’s focus on reality and not a made up fantasy
Yeah and the swastika comes from Sanskrit but now that the Nazis attached themselves to it there is another meaning.
It’s wild how dog whistles sound loud when you listen for them.
This might come as a surprise to you, but Palestinians are Arab. Palestine is fighting a war of national liberation, they aren’t a cabal of anti-semetic Nazis.
Wait wait wait you mean the Semitic people aren’t anti semitic?
This is huge news!
That said I’m saying you are overtly anti-Semitic.
Being anti-zionist isn’t being anti-semitic.
We agree on something, but from my perspective you’ve well crossed the line on a number of occasions.
Anyways, I hope you live the life you deserve.
I support the right of Palestinian resistance, and have attacked antisemites on numerous occasions trying to use pro-Palestinian movements to further their agenda.
Why did Hamas attack Israel ?
If we gonna go harvest post history and change the subject: Why did Hamas attack Israel ?
I am no Zionist nor am I a Hamas apologist.
Hamas isn’t helping the Palestinian people with their actions but their actions are understandable and I don’t think they’re necessarily without warrant.
Edit: but I guess everyone else believes Hamas has improved the lives of the Palestinian people over the last couple years?
Palestine has the right to defend itself.
Idk anything about the dude you’re replying to but…
I don’t think the priority should be calling out has or whatever but it’s okay to acknowledge that Palestine has a right to defend themselves, that Oct 7th is practically inevitable when you have an apartheid… and also think Hamas sucks they were given money by Israel for a reason.
Similarly, it is wrong to commit a genocide
And yet no one has done anything to stop Israel as they’re committing it
Not in question and asserting I’m saying otherwise doesn’t do anything tbh
Ah, this is Cowbee
He is openly a tankie, who defends Imperialist China, actively calls users critical of the CCP racist, and defends dictatorships like North Korea
You can read a lot of his takes here, he is an extremely hateful person who spreads misinformation and tankie slop.
I’m a communist, and I support socialist states. I don’t hide my positions, I have always been honest and forthright with them. You’re a zionist stalker that revels in drama farming.
China isn’t imperialist as it isn’t driven by international extraction or export of capital, nor is it dominated by a financial oligarchy. The user I reported for being racist wasn’t criticizing the CPC, they made a racist rant about how Chinese people live in filth, eat fake meat and fake tofu, can’t build anything, and more. The moderator of that comm sided with the racist that sounds identical to how the French spoke of Africans during colonialism.
Ah, why is it you defend Russia? Russia is an oligarchy that finds its riches in oil and fossil fuels. They’re not at all socialist.
I don’t think Russia has a good economic model, nor would I want to live there. I do think it’s forced strategically into trade with socialist countries, which is why it has a good relationship with countries like Cuba, and is working against western imperialism, which is the largest obstacle in the way of socialism worldwide. Additionally, support for socialism is rising over time:
So no, I don’t somehow think Russia is socialist still, but at the moment socialist countries benefit massively from Russian trade and from temporary alliance against the west.
Again with this stat? Maybe you should look for polls on how many Africans want to be back under colonial rule and see how wack this is
Are you still doing the thing where you equate two entirely different and incompatible things like doing Mad Libs is acceptable logic? Like, someone could say “solar energy is a good thing” and your rhetorical response would be “what if I replaced solar energy with ‘racism?’ Then wouldn’t you be saying racism is good?”
My point is that Russia has a rising socialist sympathy among the populace, which is true. We can point to their reasons being that capitalism has, by and large, been devastating for Russians, while socialism worked well. Colonialism, on the other hand, has been disastrous for its underdevelopment of Africa, and many of these liberated countries are under neocolonialism or imperialism to this day.
You really need to check your rhetoric, you were called out for this faulty “Mad Libs” logic already.
These things aren’t different wtf?!?
You’re talking about people that hold nostalgia to past regimes. This is the case in many African countries today. I’m trying to point out the idiocy of your statistic.
If you’re using that as a justification of return to the USSR, i can equally use it as justification of return to colonialism in Africa
what does it even matter, this has nothing to do with anything, cowbee supports socialism?
what exactly is your argument, that its bad that they’re supporting socialism because some people support colonialism?
cowbees argument is essentially they are bad but they help socialists and they may become socialist again, how is it relevant in any way that africa supports colonialism?
No, these are entirely different things. You’re essentially saying that it is useless to take public opinion polling on whether they prefer socialism or capitalism because some people would say they prefer colonialism over neocolonialism or imperialism. Citing the fact that Russia has increasing support for socialism as proof of Russians having increased support for socialism is perfectly valid.
Taking your logic at face value, if someone said “I like chocolate,” your equivalent counter would be asserting that that’s the same as saying “I like fascism.” It doesn’t logically follow, the point is about Russians supporting socialism, which is increasingly true.
Oh, Cowbee, you and your statistics! How disingenuous you are.
For starters, that sample size is minuscule at only 1000.
And unsurprisingly, more countries think the dissolution was a bad thing than a good thing. Of course, Russia thinks the USSR was good, they were the oppressors. Life under the Soviet Union was grossly oppressive for the peasants, and especially if your country was the victim of Russian imperialism. You couldn’t speak ill of the leaders, you had zero representation, and you faced the risk of your livelihood being ripped from you at any point. Your indigenous culture was even suppressed because it was considered anti-Soviet behaviour. There you go defending imperialism again, Cowbee.
And mind you, this is a survey before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine!
You’re right, that data is from before the Russo-Ukrainian war. It’s even higher now.
Over four years, more than 63,000 people have become party members, with most of the new recruits being young people under 30 and “people of prime working age.”
“We are now seeing not just nostalgia for the past, but a conscious choice by millions of citizens in favor of the socialist path of development,”
KPRF restored all ties with the Communist Parties of China, Vietnam, the DPRK, with Latin America, with Cuba, with Venezuela, with Nicaragua..
The expansion and astronomical growth of grassroot movements like the Inmortal Regiment. This movement grew so large that plenty of countries around the world organized a similar march. It started small until it grew in a international movement.
The imperialist siege intensified and forced Russia to look elsewhere which lead to their economy into allying with plenty of the global south. This allowed more cultural/ideological exchanges with China , Belarus, Cuba, Vietnam and the DPRK.
There are now Russian grassroot movements that boost programs such Youth exchange with Cuba and the DPRK.
Further, the USSR wasn’t imperialist. It had a publicly owned economy, and didn’t base its economy on international extraction. The peasantry saw dramatic material improvements, it was the kulaks, bourgeois farmers, that were oppressed. For the peasantry, they saw a doubling of life expectancy, massive development, free and high quality education and healthcare, a tripling of literacy rates, and more. National identities were preserved and strengthened, while trying to develop an internationalist “soviet” identity compatible with all.
Overall, the majority regret the dissolution of the USSR.
What are these sources, my man? You gonna link to RT News next? Am I gonna need an antivirus to check these out?
And again, no shit, Russia would want more soviet union, they were oppressors and imperialists. And the majority of countries do not regret the dissolution. And hey, glad you mentioned the DPRK. You must hate North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia against Ukraine, yeah?
Do you think the communists are in power in Russia? No, absolutely not, so why would they be lying about verifiable information on the strengthening of opposition movements to the current nationalists? Further, information on trade increasing with countries like Cuba, etc is backed up by non-Russian sources.
The USSR was not oppressive nor imperialist. You keep claiming this, but it’s wrong, the USSR did not run on international plunder, nor did it export capital, nor was it under the control of a financial oligarchy. Further, the vast majority of people, non-Russian included, regret the fall of the USSR.
