Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

My real position is crystal clear and I am happy to stand by it.

Your opinion is to limit speech that calls out ethnic cleansing, using the law as a defense for the opinion.

Probably not, you are on the anarchist instance, supporting obeying authoritarian laws. They aren’t.

Complying and capitulating in advance with authoritarian laws to aid in covering up discussions of genocide isn’t, however.

But why do that when we can do collective punishment, which is done by Russia, Israel, North Korea, and all the famous Good Nations?

Yet.

Maybe read the post again and put yourself in the shoes of the admins and mods who do live in Germany.

Man sucks to be them. Oh well, better preemptively censor all words because its illegal! Don’t stand for what’s right!

Why are you on an anarchist instance if you are for states limiting speech?

I dare you to post it and not get banned.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

“I think Israel is commiting genocide in Palestine.”

Is this personal info that must be scrubbed?

The OPSEC of “censor discussion”? That’s not the OPSEC or solarpunk I’m familar with.

Better than supporting laws that censor support for people. Some solarpunk you are.

Oh for sure, I don’t doubt that.

But I don’t think Lemmy has any impact beyond maybe one person somewhere changing their opinion on a company.

I try to be sane and kind to people unless they prove they don’t deserve it.

I’m sure a non-zero amount support it, but it’s like thinking that everyone in America is guilty of the invasion of Iraq.

If there is a Israel citizen who is against the Genocide, I don’t want them considered guilty. I think they should be doing as much as they can against it, and being neutral to it is complicity. But if they’re against the genocide, they aren’t guilty.

I’m also unsure of the rates of support for the War on Ukraine in Russia, but I doubt it’s 100%. Even if it’s 99%, that 1% can’t be considered guilty as charged for.

I don’t consider think that being a citizen of a nation instantly makes you guilty. But I also acknowledge that they can benefit from how their nation acts on the world stage.

My nation benefited from the Iraq invasion, but I was 6 years old when we did it. I didn’t even know what war really was then.

Damn, I could use that 100 buckazoids 😔

I doubt Lemmy has any major effect on public option at large. Reddit never did when they supported Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders, at the height of its user count/activity.

But I don’t doubt that Lemmy enables echo chambers and filter bubbles that enable people to brush aside any criticism of their favorite politician or nation-state as The Good Guys.

Freeze peach is when you advocate for murder of brown people, otherwise it’s white genocide to not advocate for murder.

The hivemind of “I don’t think everyone in Russia is inherently guilty of all crimes by Putin?”

Alright let’s just arrest everyone in Russia. They’re all guilty. Especially the children and people in jail for protesting.

“Look it’s the law, disobeying the law is bad, I must obey the law and report my local Jews pro-Palestine thought crime.”

Is it any shock when actual members of the Nazi party and SS were kept around to help rebuild West Germany?

We should have just dealt with the problem instantly. Hindsight is 20/20 but fascists deserve no breaks.

Yep if you have Russian blood in you you’re guilty of all crimes of its government, even if you’re against Putin.

It’s so cool and not at all xenophobic.
