Can I have an apology for the misgendering please? I'm not cis or a guy, and having a problem with stalinists doesn't mean I'm lying about who I am. These guys make apology for Stalin's ban on homosexuality and think the bourgeoisie are "pushing transgenderism"
The way I see it, genocide is exclusively advocated by fascistic authoritarians, and fascistic authoritarians are extreme right wing, so being against genocide is a left (of fascism) wing viewpoint. Directions are all relative, there is no political center. But on each issue there are sides in different directions. There's left wing and right wing in regards to capitalism, left wing and right wing in regards to gender, and left wing and right wing in regards to genocide. On the issue of genocide I'm on the same side as 90% of the world, and tankies are over on the other side with Nazis, Taliban, and JK Rowling. Those are the left and right sides, respectively.
A lot of trans people have Nutomic blocked because he's a transphobe, but the begging banner doesn't respect blocks
You could be fully into communism and think genocide is a stellar way to advance your goals
Not really. Communism is stateless, and I just can't see genocide being possible without a state apparatus to back it up. When power is truly in the hands of the people, the people have a moral compass that tells them no to such atrocities. The fact that responsibility was/is so concentrated in the hands of evil men that they could perpetrate genocides is part of why China and the USSR are/were not communist. State socialist at best, state capitalist at worst, and also probably most accurate.
Lenin [...] were very very left
Valid point.
Stalin were very very left
Lies.
I love the leftist parts of Lemmy, and it's a miracle such a left wing platform was built by a team of radical centrists. The banner they use to harass trans people is right in line with the right-wing half of their views, however.
The way Lemmy and the Fediverse is set up, you can use the infrastructure without any real association with its founders.
Except for them bypassing blocks by trans people who don't want to be harassed by these transphobic ogres
Thanks, I sent in a registration
If you're going to assume my pronouns, could you assume some cooler ones? He/him are so boring and cisgender, I'd rather be misgendered with style
Barely enough time in the day to develop new features? Quit using your "full time job" to post genocide denial and Stalin apologism.
I can't remember the last time Lemmy added a new feature that actually benefits admins or users. The Piefed devs are constantly coming out with new features, maybe it's because they don't waste the whole day banning people for left wing political views like saying genocide is bad.
