  • Over the past ~10 years there's been a continued intensification of Hindu nationalism in India by the ruling party, leading to increased repression and stochastic terrorism against Muslims. I've not heard immediate accusations of genocide before, but there have definitely been serious speculations that that's where it's leading.

  • China is directly fuelling genocide, both at home amongst the Uyghurs, and in Ukraine by arming Russia.

  • Could Trump, theoretically, do enough good with the little post-stroke time he had left to cancel out the harm he's done over the course of his miserable life?

    And would it be enough to stop hating him?

  • The point of punching Nazis is not to convince the Nazi with violence, it's to shatter the delusion of Nazis that they can promise and advocate violence with impunity until they're strong enough to implement it, and prevent bystanders from thinking the same. Driving Nazis back under rocks and reassuring vulnerable groups that broader society isn't willing to play civility games up until they're marched into death camps are both laudable effects of punching Nazis.

    That being said, punching Nazis is one of the less efficient means of activism, high risk and low reward. I wouldn't recommend anyone dedicate activist time and energy to specifically punching Nazis (if we're at the point where dedicating time to be violent towards Nazis is legitimately highly valuable, 'punching' is probably so mild as to be a waste of time and opportunity), but it's sometimes worthwhile when the opportunity arises organically.

  • What I meant is that there is no point at which giving ground to authoritarians makes them so nakedly brutal and vile that the population turns against them. My point is that "Things are bad now, but if they get worse, then things will REALLY crash and the population will THEN finally see!" is just not viable, no matter how bad it gets. Every inch given to authoritarians makes them stronger; it will not sap their popularity or lay the groundwork for a successful reaction against them.

  • That's the issue. Crashing won't stop them. Infinite enabling of authoritarians does not lead to authoritarians suddenly losing all popularity and being overwhelmed by a tide of democratic sentiment. It leads to fucking North Korea. There is no level of suffering or oppression people are not willing to buckle under, given sufficient perceived strength of the oppressors.

    For that matter, there is no level of suffering great enough to shake people of their convictions. The vast majority of people will return to their convictions as soon as they're able to. Inflicting suffering, or letting fascist regimes inflict suffering, will not 'cure' a population of it. Half of the German population in the 1950s still regarded Hitler as a good leader, even after taking Germany from the second most powerful country in Europe to the fifth most powerful in Berlin, and reducing the country to fucking rubble in service to one of the worst causes mankind has ever known.

    Don't welcome a Vichy Regime under the delusion that it will begin the Resistance. Understand that the fall of the Third Republic means that the only route to defeat the fucking fascists becomes narrower, harder, and will lead to a less 'pure' political resolution if successful.

  • I genuinely do not remember doing this, but i apologize.

    I do vote irresponsibly and occasionally vote things that i go back to later and go “why the fuck did i upvote/downvote this?” I’ve been called out for this before too and i want to be more careful with voting in the future.

    Then I apologize for jumping to the conclusion that it was malice. I'm high-strung on my best days, and I shouldn't have assumed that you and the other admins were on the same page.

    I literally said that in my comment. “I know nothing about Holodomor or Xinjiang, nothing at all”

    I read that as Uyghurs or Xinjiang. I suppose I have to confess to having misread something now.

  • I did upvote Unruffled’s comment which was the ‘proof’, but in my defense i did not see that last part, and i only really read the first paragraph.

    You also downvoted multiple posts discussing the Uyghur genocide, and that were about, exclusively, criticism of the Uyghur genocide.

    Either you're bullshitting now, or you weren't reading anything you were voting on then; just, I don't know, giving up and downvotes according to who was being responded to, I guess?

    I guess you don't know much about the Holodomor either, considering you and the rest of the admins left that lovely bit of denialism up as well.

    If calling you out for being part of a fucking moderation team that removes one form of genocide denial, but 'conveniently' seems to ignore every major form of tankie genocide denialism is malicious, what the fuck do your actions come off as? Benevolent?

    There was a misunderstanding about Fxomt's votes. I overreacted considerably, and I retract my accusations towards Fxomt.

  • Didn’t they invite the UN or so?

    Yup, got an article:

    "You can come visit while we watch, but no investigation allowed"

    Wow, definitely not simping for genocide by trying to portray that as a refutation. Did you even read your own article?

    And the main folk accusing of geneocide are the ones who are supporting the openly observable genocide in Gaza, right?

    No.

    But under 25, otherwise 'wdym' would be part of your native tongue. At this point the kids are probably saying something more like 'low wizzer' or whatever dark magic is used to make up Zoomer slang.
