THANK YOU! I felt I was being very valid, direct, and educated with what I was beinging to the table! I was 100% not trolling in any way! They simpmydo not homd up to informed criticism. No actual response, only accusations that I’m a supporter of the actions of the U.S. (I’m not.)

I will say it here again! Tankies know only the status quo! They know only to obey! Rebellion does not exist within them!

Edit: Notfixing typos. My big thumgs let you know I am all human. No vampires or sharks or “AI” in here! Just a kind of drunk guy.

I guess I should take it as a compliment.

I’m going to take it as a compliment. Thanks, Davel@lemmy.ml, 😘, you’re the best!

I got banned for "fascism": https://imgtree.co/i/14EXbxu1

I'm guessing the only solution is to just ignore .ml communities?

Hey, if they’re going to defend it that hard all the time they could at least come up woth a coherent response.

I don’t agree with the actions of the U.S. by any means, but that wasn’t part of the argument, I wasn’t asking anyone to juxtapose two shitty ideas and only critique one, I was just trying to figure out the internal logic of one specific argument the post was making. Turns out there wasn’t any.

Edit: I also brought up Taiwan and White Terror.

I wonder why he forgot to mention the harassment in DM and made it look like they got banned from the instance because of the comments. Not suspicious at all.

Well, you gave him a one week community ban because .ml is packed with some of the worst Bad Faith arguments anywhere on the Fedi verse and .ml as a knee jerk reaction never responds well to being challenged.

Can't blame you for the site ban though, "eat my ass"? What did he think was gonna happen?

The modlog messages are there so that you can state your reasoning and people cannot omit it. If you don't write that they got banned for being rude in dms then they can spin it however they want.

And you brought nothing, and now you paint yourself as being suppressed and accuse me of baiting just because you had to defend your own argument and couldn’t. Pathetic. I stand by what I said in your DMs. Your inability to make a solid case for yourself doesn’t make me a troll nor a liberal. Learn to make an argument rather than throw insults, feign oppression, and literally ban people from the conversation in response to others pointing out logical disagreements with your flawed politics on a public forum, for fuck’s sake. Grow some skin.

From the responses I got, I can see why you would say that, but I was merely asking questions in regards to Tiananmen Square, Taiwan, and the White Terror that don’t add up for me in the face of the argument made by the post that tankies don’t support a hegemonic central authority. Another commenter here even said they thought I was asking good questions. They reacted like I was calling them the r-word for trying to figure how they square that with themselves. Turns out they just don’t even try to square it, they just hide their heads and scream at you to shut up.

Edit: It wasn’t just Tiananmen Square, either, I also asked about Taiwan and White Terror.
