Long. Range. Missiles.

Yeah I’m all for killing the few politicians and billionaires doing that, if they don’t stop with warning. Because they are the root of the problem.

But killing the many working class people who may have little choice and not have the education necessary to know they are contributing to bad is counterproductive and difficult to justify.

Yeah. The right wing zealot behaviour of killing anyone you don’t like.

Need to change accounts to somewhere that blocks the instances. Lemmy.cafe for example blocks grad ml and hexbear

[–] mecfs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Partly. But it’s been building up in me for the past few months. Like I legitimately see it every day on lemmy.

[–] mecfs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

fantastic explanation. Thank you.

[–] mecfs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Really relate with your comment.

All war crimes are bad. The germans were horrible genociders who commited more war crimes than we’ll ever know of. But it does not excuse those committed by other nations.

Stop with the murding half a million people apologia.

As usual. Yes, two things can be bad at once. I’m not sure why every time the soviet union, Russia or China is criticised, there’s always a vocal minority going “WHAT ABOUT”. Yes, those are important issues too. Make a post about them. Don’t try to excuse war crimes with other issues. War Crimes are universally inexcusable.

Trump literally said “disabled people should just die”

Unfortunately the examples here are serious. In that I end up arguing with the person and they defend their point that the person should die/be killed.

 

On so many different news items, threads, etc. People are the first to claim pretty much anyone who has made a mistake, or does something they disagree with deserves to die.

Like, do some people not have the capability to empathise and realise they might have been in a similar place if they were born in a different environment…

I genuinely understand, you think a politician who has lead to countless deaths, a war criminal, or a mass rapists deserves to die.

But here people say it for stuff that falls way below the bar.

A contracted logger of a rainforest (who knows if they have the money / opportunity to support their family another way). Deserves to die.

A civilian of Nazi germany of whom we know nothing about their collaboration/agreement with the regime. Deserves to die.

Some person who was a drug dealer and then served their time. Deserves to die.

Like I don’t get it? Are people not able to imagine the kind of situations that create these people, and that it’s not impossible to imagine the large majority of people in these positions if born in a different environment?

 
 

u/LeninMeowMeow moderates a large amount of big subreddits, r/therightcantmeme, r/gamingcirclejerk, r/animememes, r/greenandpleasent (a known russian propaganda subreddit source: Center for European Policy Analysis (think Lemmygrad)) and much more.

Anyways on r/lemmy, he says that lemmy.world is right-wing and thatcherite. I reply that it is more social democratic.

I instantly get banned from the subreddits he moderates and blocked by him. I have not commented or participated in any of their subreddits before, and this is my first ever encounter with them.

Weird and concerning behaviour. I fear that tankies are taking over most left wing spaces on reddit (not that I really use reddit for politics anymore, that’s why I’m on lemmy, but for the implications to our democracies, as a non-negligible chunk of voters are politically influenced by reddit).

 

The condition has put significant strain on patients and society — at a global economic cost of about $1 trillion a year, a new report estimates.

Tankies are just MAGA pretending to be communist
