The reason given is perfect! 😂
(For the record all I did was disagree with their bullshit. Meanwhile they were incredibly insulting and childish as fuck towards me)
I’ll add:
They’ll never understand that while most everyone outside of their echo chamber thinks their politics may be ignorant and entirely misguided, people don’t hate them for it. No, they are hated for their hypocrisy, their arrogance and their condescending narrative that while sharing the exact same sewage system- somehow their shit doesn’t stink.
They are every bit as bad as MAGA, and in some cases… so much worse.
-Them. If this is what they think, expressing their political views even somewhat honestly in the comm would run afoul of rule 3, which says
Now you can feel however you want about it, but the rule is clear, and the mods over there aren’t especially trigger happy about removing liberals, so realistically OP would’ve had to do something pretty blatant to catch a ban.
One of the mod is especially trigger-happy. They will blatantly blame Ukraine for the war, sport a russian flag in their bio and ban people for “being racist to russians”.
It’s 100% meanwhileongrad material.
I think I know which mod you’re talking about, but while they do have more tankie sympathies than I’d like I haven’t seen them do any of these things save for the Russian flag, which is next to the British and German flags to indicate the languages they speak.
I understand what the flags mean. I’m saying it displays a bias.
They’re very keen on “freezing the conflict” (beneficial only to russia), and any criticism towards russia is “russophobia”.
Clearly a great moderator for “lefty memes” lol.
Yeah… no. Even if that made sense, which it doesn’t, you know full well that that’s not what the average bystander will think when they read “sporting a Russian flag in their bio.”
Assuming that’s true, sure? That’s a shit take, but not exactly tankie material. People are allowed to have shit opinions. Besides, the mod that banned the OP is Flatworm, not Alsaas, so that’s a moot point.
Literally never seen that happen.
“[] The “civilised” Evropa in action, death to the (neo-)imperialist/colonialist fortress that is the EU”
“Death Death to the IDF!” (and the USA of course)"
I’ve skimmed these off the top, you don’t need to be a detective to see that the person is a tankie, with a heavy bias towards russia.
I think any true leftist recognizes that there’s only one agressor in that invasion.
This only raised my opinion of them so… Why exactly should this make me conclude they’re a tankie? I’d expect any leftist worth their salt to share a more or less similar sentiment.
If you have an argument that they’re a tankie make it; you’ve said nothing of substance in your response.
