Sorry, I can read your response in my inbox but Connect won't let me see your reply to respond to in the full thread. But no, I'm not a fascist, leftist or otherwise. I've met and talked to Uyghur people living through and fighting against the cultural genocide happening in China, I know it's very real. My point was that you keep making enemies of your political friends on the basis of useless purity tests that ultimately just create more division and enable genociders worldwide. I don't think this was intentional on your part, I saw your explanation of the user tag and I totally get it. Lemmy is a tiny community, I've certainly tagged people negatively and then seen them in other threads saying things I agree with and been suspicious. Ultimately though, I think it's much more likely that I judged someone too harshly based on one or two comments than that they are some kind of misinformation propaganda bot or whatever, so I usually just ignore them if I don't have something to contribute to the actual discussion occurring. You just came in and completely changed the subject because you thought you already knew the opinion of the person you were talking to, causing unneeded confusion and adding nothing to the topic at hand. That's why people think you're the genocide denier, even though you're not.

What's a tankie but a leftist fascist? The quote was intentionally hyperbolic, but it wasn't inaccurate.
