  • I see are two common reasons people catch bans. The first one is repeating Western propaganda from bad sources such as Radio Free Asia which gets almost all its funding from USAID and will write any slander against US enemies.

    A second is using orientalist language which was made up by the West to demonize its opponents. Spamming the word “terrorist” for Hamas comes to mind when it is not even classified as a terror organisation by the UN (because it’s not).

    The orientalist one is a bit harder to understand even for me as many terms which are considered common tongue in the West are off limits and you don’t really know which. I do think the admins can be too trigger happy on this one.

    The reason the comparison to Germany doesnt go up is because Germany called itself Nazis and their Nazi past is very comparable to their present. Locking two million people in a concentration camp and starving them to death is far beyond the war crimes committed by Russia.

    What would be offensive is me going into the Ukraine community and calling everything Nazis because of Azov existing. Because the Ukrainians are not trying to actively exterminate all Russians. Whereas the Germans are actively trying to exterminate all Palestinians.





  • The word “support” does not mean “agree with all their stances”. Step one is Palestinian liberation. After that comes the rest

    Hamas committed a targeted raid against Israeli military bases.

    The music festival meme is ridiculous because many murdered there were killed by Israeli apache helicopters as can be seen from the cars with holes in their roofs.

    And it was not the target. It was not even supposed to be there. There was armed soldiers in the festival as well. And many there were active IDF members as it was next to a military base.

    One side is clearly worse, one side is clearly the systematic oppressor, one side is clearly more to blame. This just doesn’t mean the other side can’t be criticized at all, and clearly not “anyone measuring both by the same standards is a Nazi”

    The German government is sending weapons to a colonial Apartheid starving 2 million people in a concentration camp. You should learn what the Holocaust was about.
