    Go to lemmygrad.ml and post about Russia or China. You will read insane ramblings about projections. Somehow the argument is always “look at this bad thing in the west, here is completely misinformed info about your country, look how good Russia/China, skip over genocides you are projecting it is happening in the West, to finish my argument Are You a Nazi?!”.

    Yougoslavia was created by soviets/russia. His beloved communists. I am super interested in what mind gymnastics he has to excuse that.

    He could have gone with Africa or Middle East, much better example of collosal fuck ups of Ze Bad West. But that would require knowledge of history longer than 50 years.

    Also crying about Poland. As a guy living in Poland, hearing stories of people that fought in WWII and people that lived in communist Poland, I am so interested in how these first hand accounts are US misinformation.

      I was banned from Lemmygrad for statements that were critical of the authority of the USSR, and writings of their savior Karl M.

      I was banned from Lemmy.world for anti-zionism. Most of the Lemmy side of the fediverse seems infested with authoritarianism that’s as bad as Reddit’s corporatism.

        Lemmy.world is run by Enlightened Centrists. People who think we should all just get along, and calmly discuss these life-and-death matters, no matter how demonstrably wrong a lie is, or how much bad-faith abuse someone spits.

        At this point - any internet community demanding “civility” is a red flag for bad moderation. “Be nice!” means they’re not prepared to treat ‘stop implying I’m subhuman, asshole’ as the justified response to a troll with a rear-mounted boot slot that needs filling. And even then it’s a coin-toss. You can spend immense effort restraining and editing responses to complete bullshit, guiding someone by-the-nose through why they’re blatantly fucking wrong, while they keep trying to make that personal through chest-beating and snide remarks… and then watch then give up all pretense and spit the worst insults they can imagine over dry criticism of what they choose to say… and see your reports of idiotic directed abuse go absolutely nowhere.

        If your rules effectively run interference for bastards, fuck your rules.
