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
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.
Well it’s not him asserting that he cited the poll as justification for HIS OWN defence of a Russia that’s for sure.
“Citing the fact that Russia has increasing support for socialism as proof of Russians having increased support for socialism is perfectly valid.”
can you rephrase this sentence in your own words?
then
can you explain why he would say this?
I’m pretty sure Cowbee is not Russian, so i don’t think he’s attempting to refer to himself from a third person perspective there.
I interprete this as an argument in favour of the Russian populace and not himself.
I don’t even vaguely understand what you’re saying or what your interpretation of these words could be from this post.
