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
But he didn’t do that so…?
quote the part where he said we should do socialism because of a nostalgia poll?
Are you being intentionally obtuse?
That is the entire point of him citing that poll
No, he cited that poll because he supports socialism and russia is in favor of socialism. He did not say socialism is good because of the poll.
He didn’t just cite the poll just for the purpose of just citing it. He cited it because he wants to show how socialism is popular and therefore should be pursued.
That is not what he said at all, he was explaining why he supports russia, you completely misunderstood his point, reread the conversation.
a simplified version of his claim:
“i support socialism, russia is strategically beneficial for socialism because they trade with socialists and may one day be socialist, as evidenced by [the poll in question], socialism being on the rise in russia is part of the reason i support them over western powers.”
see how at no point in that claim did he say that socialism is good because it has popular support?
you didn’t understand the assertion and guessed what he was saying and then treated him poorly based on that misinterpretation, you should apologize.
honestly why would anyone argue that socialism is good because a country likes it??
Sorry, I went back, read the comment and still don’t see a direct assertion that socialism being on the rise in Russia is also part of why he supports it. The poll at best seems like a random addition to the point.
Regardless, if that IS what he was intending to say, then i would be willing to grant that my angle of attack regarding this specific issue is misplaced, but i did not get that initial impression.
That is both very obviously what he was saying and also makes all of his responses to you make sense, also it is very easily inferred, you just went with a very bad faith interpretation for no apparent reason.
you should apologize.
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml can you confirm
Yes, that is my point, you’re correct. Though, I do think when combined with other points on the positives of socialism that its perception increasing in post-socialist countries is useful, though not by itself.
Hold on now. Let’s not try to make it like i was intentionally trying to argue in bad faith here. I misunderstood his argument and to be fair to me, he did not try to point out that i misunderstood it. He only attempted to reassert and double down on his claims. This isn’t about what is or isn’t or should be obvious. It’s about what actually happened.
And no, I’m not apologising to anyone. I made an error and i admit to that. That’s about as much as you’ll get from me.

what do you think this post is?
this doesn’t change the fact that you should.
