    feddit.org's Zionist bar problem: community ban(s) vote

  • Just to note, this is a community vote, not me enforcing my opinions on the instance. Sure I have my own opinion on the topic, but in reality I have very little influence over anyone else, and as proof of that not every vote passes. And in fact, our community members asked for this vote, not me. I have very little interest in feddit.org, personally, except when having to moderate their Zionist users.

    I want the Fediverse to be as open as possible. People like you are turning it into a walled garden. Isolated, small, and insignificant. Unfortunately, this seems to be an incurable tendency among left-wingers.

    I'm gonna quote Ada here, with one small addition []:

    An instance that federates with everyone will end up defederated themselves, because they’ll end up full of bigots and trolls [and Zionists]

  • So let me get this right... you don't think it's appropriate to call for the overthrow (violent or otherwise) of a "liberal" government currently committing genocide? Do you think because Israelis voted for a corrupt genocidal fascist regime (yet again) that gives them and their government a free pass to commit genocide? Fuck that. Voting has never removed a fascist from power. The only other way the genocide will end is if Israel is forced to do so, or they succeed in the genocide. Those are the only two likely outcomes. You seem to be in favour of doing nothing, which only serves to perpetuate the violence. The people who are happy to ignore or even condone genocide (because they believe Hasbara propaganda that Palestinians/Arabs = terrorists) should be called out for their complicity and colonial mindset.

  • Welcome to the community :)

  • Why are you so focused on that one example? There are plenty of comments removed that don't include such provocative language.

  • I get that not all the examples used were being polite, but why should anyone be polite towards people making excuses for Zionism?

  • Yes we are butthutt about folks who minimise and excuse Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.

  • Yeah sure, the folks opposing genocide are spreading hatred against those who implicitly or explicitly support it. Makes total sense 🤔

  • Well exactly.

  • Seems like it.

  • Why was this removed? There's nothing antisemitic about it - it's just criticising the genocidal state of Israel.

  • Well... now you've got your second badge of "honor" I guess.

  • Thanks for the explanation, but if you look at the context, neither of them were employing the disengage rule, the word was just being used in the normal way.

    Also I am going to say let’s disengage. We’ve veered terribly far off topic. If you have beef with Feddit, then start a thread elsewhere and maybe one of the other admins can properly explain everything.

    [...] I agree, it’s pointless to have this discussion with someone who evades the core point of the criticism with strawmans and false dilemmas What I told @mathemachristian@lemmy.ml still stands, and nothing you say here will change it.

    Disengaged.

  • While I've absolutely no doubt the CIA does all sorts of heinous shit around the world, I just don't buy the theory behind so-called color revolutions. If the CIA were able to incite populist revolutions on a whim, there would be a LOT more of them. Sure, they do their very best to encourage them, but you need more than just guns and money to build a movement big enough to topple a government. You need a lot of people.

    IMO in most claimed cases of 'color revolutions', the local sentiment was already there, just waiting for an inciting event. I do agree that US sanctions can help create those types of conditions, but once that happens its looking a lot more like a standard US regime change operation rather than a color revolution created by CIA psyops tbh.

    But more importantly, from an anarchist perspective, it's suspiciously convenient and self-serving to immediately blame every popular uprising against AES authoritarian states on the CIA, rather than on whichever oppressive regime is actually running the country. Iran is a perfect example of that. Cuba has also been under sanctions for decades without turning into a vile theocracy that treats women like property. So long as governments treat their citizens well, like Cuba generally does, a "color revolution" will never be possible there.

    Btw, the theory of color revolutions was an invention of infamous conspiracy theorist, and perennial presidential candidate, Lyndon LaRouche. There’s a good (quite long) video on this topic here if anyone wants to go down the rabbit hole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OFyn_KSy80.

  • AACAB?

  • The reason you were moderated is because you were the one being the asshole:

    You are an excellent example of thesis that aggressive veganism and a long term vegan diet could be linked to mental disorders.

    The only reasonable way to interpret this sentence is you were calling @mathemachristian@lemmy.ml a crazy fucking vegan. Just because you said it in a more pusillanimous tone doesn't change the meaning.

    You are a perfect example of extreme veganism being a mental condition.

    Imo its perfectly reasonably for him (and me) to call you out for ableism here. He paraphrased you to highlight the ableism which is implicitly contained in your insult.

  • Ok I think that's fair enough, thanks.
