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
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.
Citing the fact that Nigeria has increasing support for colonialism as proof of Nigerians having increased support for colonialism is perfectly valid.
This is your argument but for colonialism.
It’s quite impressive the mental gymnastics you’re using to avoid debating my actual claim which is clear as day to understand. The point is Nigerians supporting colonialism which is increasingly true
I’m not arguing for colonialism, I’m arguing for socialism, and the stat I gave was in the context of other points. Secondly, you gave no source on Nigerians wishing to return to colonialism, you made that up for your Mad Libs argument. You’re caught up in trying to point out hypocricy and false rhetoric that doesn’t exist.
I don’t need a source. Go to any African country and ask them whether they wish to return to colonialism.
I’m telling you using nostalgia as evidence to return to a system is faulty due to those that revere harmful systems as well. Hence my citing of Nigerians who revere colonialism.
Don’t know why it’s this difficult for you to grasp this point
So you made it up, just to argue rhetorically using a hypothetical you lied about? No, Nigerians do not want a return to colonialism, you lied about them wanting it back increasingly over time to paint me as a hypocrite.
Yes they do. Go speak to some Nigerians
I’m sure you can find at least one Nigerian that wishes to return to colonialism, but no such polls exist indicating there is rising support for colonialism in Nigeria. You made that up to prove a point. You lied.
Mate i AM a Nigerian who has spoken to many such Nigerians. It’s a very common sentiment. Again, go speak to some Nigerians
i know a bunch of nigerians who disagree with you and say it isn’t common.
now that we’ve cancelled eachother out in order to continue this you’ll need to find a poll.
I’m sure you can find at least one Nigerian that wishes to return to colonialism, but no such polls exist indicating there is rising support for colonialism in Nigeria. You made that up to prove a point. You lied.
