I love the leftists that accuse liberals of denying Israel’s genocide in Gaza (which we don’t) while ignoring Russia genocide of Ukraine and China’s genocide of Uyghurs.

    I don't know what's more bullshit, the fact that you think actual leftists (not Soviet diehards) deny any genocide, or that the majority of the establishment Democrats (liberals) are on the side of Israel.

    Establishment democrats are about three hundred people I’m talking about the eighty million people who vote liberal and who overwhelmingly are against Israel.

    I’m not playing your no true scotsman game about ‘actual leftists’ because I see what leftist spaces look like.

    Why don't you get mad at those three hundred people instead of shouting about how much you hate leftists?

    My favorite part about dumbass liberals is that they know all the failings of capitalism, but still support it. Fucking morons.

    And before you say it, no, I'm not a tankie and I don't support Russia. A lot of liberals support Israel though.

    Every single time socialism has been tried, capitalism, specifically America, has put its boot on its neck. I'm not saying socialism can't turn to authoritarianism, but it has never even been given a fair chance at any point in history. Meanwhile the failings of capitalism are literally baked into the system, given enough time the wealth and power will always consolidate to the top.

    Also capitalism has killed wayyyyyyy more people worldwide than socialism. The Black Book of Communism is confirmed horseshit. Capitalism always turns to authoritarianism in the long term, you can see it in America right now. Your own criticisms of socialism can be turned on capitalism tenfold.

    There's a reason Albert fucking Einstein, the posterboy for genius, was a socialist. Socialism can turn to evil, capitalism will always turn to evil.

    Pure capitalism hasn’t been tried either there’s always too much government regulation that stifles the free hand of the market.

    Holy shit you just keep saying stupider and stupider shit. The free market was never free. It was always manipulated by those with large amounts of capital. If a market is being manipulated by the elite it can never be "free". That's a fairytale capitalists told you to make it seem like the system was fair.

    You're also taking a what is literally a conservative/libertarian position. Not even liberals believe in completely unregulated capitalism, yet you want me to believe you're a liberal?

    it's uncanny how many people who are basically conservatives can get unlimited traction on lemmy by bashing tankies without anyone really examining what they are actually saying. this user is a prime example of that

    Einstein isn't the reason I'm a socialist lol. It wasn't even a consideration when becoming one, just one of many examples of geniuses being socialist. You're also downplaying his accomplishments, he revolutionized physics. Cousin fucking was socially acceptable in some places in the 1910's. Our ancestors have probably fucked a cousin at some point too. Its definitely creepy but that doesn't mean he didn't change the way all scientists look at the observable universe. He knew what he was talking about.

    Also with your edgy ass username you're gunna get all holier that thou over creepy ass old world cousin fucking?

    Yes, the common man is more leftist than the current media / government. They don't want colonialism, and they do want free healthcare, education, etc.

    The people who are currently in seats are power are a problem, because they perpetuate this right leaning, corporate owned government, you fuckin canoe.

    Russia is committing genocide against Ukraine.

    Israel is committing genocide against Palestines.

    China is committing genocide against Uyghurs.

    Explain what the difference is if you disagree with that.

    Genocide of Ukraine? Is every war or invasion a genocide? You are definitely watering down the word.

    Thankfully Ukraine has prevented most of the genociding that Russia wants to do but in the beginning it was pretty bad. Also the amount of drones that hit residential buildings can be classified as an act of genocide.

    What do you think the Azov Nazis were up to in Donbass? Do you think that banning the Russian language (which is many Ukrainians' first language) in Ukraine is a good idea?

    They were fighting russian military.

    It wasn't banned.

    Try reading something that's not russian propaganda for a change.

    I dont think your sources proo what you think they do 'An Amnesty International investigation into allegations of execution-style and other deliberate killings by pro-Russian separatists and pro-Kyiv forces has found evidence of isolated incidents attributable to both sides, but not on the scale reported by Russian media and authorities.' Literally the first sentence The only example about ukrainians crimes is the graves of 5 seperatist crimes - an inixdent in which Sergey lavrow claimes 'mass graves' of '400''women'.

    The first article is Form 2023 well after the russian Invasion started (and butcha) and the ban was only in the capital - not a Region with majority russian speaking ukrainians - its fairly obvious why you would want to know if people are ukrainians Ehen you are in a war ...
