Well this is a shock, anyone know what kind of stuff they've said exactly?
Whatever the equivalent of a Chinese weeb is.
You can imagine the sort of stuff, capitalism is evil, the west is evil, tinneman Square never happened in fact there's no place by that name / it was all a conspiracy by the evil West.
Basically what you get is a bunch of 12-year-olds decided that they were political commentators. They've looked at the world and they're unhappy with it and clearly the solution is communism.
It would be funny, but they engage in brigading and it's annoying. If you want to see it sign out of your account and go to the instance directly.
I'd have no issue if they were interested in actual communism instead of stalinism/maoism and their hyper capitalist successors.
I also have always been strongly of the opinion they're all on avg, junior high kids. Mainly because I also really liked communism in junior high, but they also just sound like it usually.
Some of them are quite brilliant actually, but there's only so much good that can do when your education is still limited.
Very similar to the existence of Nietzsche nihilists that were in my high school class back in the day. "God is dead" only gets one so far. To go beyond being an edgelord ideologue, one needs to take the next step and create one's own meaning. And having some life experience does wonders for that.
I don't mind the content bashing capitalism.
Where I personally had a problem was the nonstop propaganda of revisionist history of communism.
But that led to Lemmy's problem, where the constant BS lead to violent threats to find specific people and make them pay - names including politicians and rich people. There is a fine line between "Eat the rich" and "This person needs to accidentally get shot in the back of the head 3 times".
Saying it's ok that Hamas beheaded babies because "settlers deserved it."
Also just fetishizing Hamas in general, made me feel violated and commodified being Palestinian American, by a buncha white folks who probably think chatscript is for people who are really weirdly obsessed with counting 2s 3s and 7s, nevermind being able to read MSA or understand Sham dialect.
What makes this conflict hard to stomach for many people is that there is no "good side". I'm sick of the people defending and downplaying Israel's genocide as much as I'm sick of people stating Hamas are freedom fighters that protect their kin.
Yeah the sad reality is that the entire situation is a mess and there isn't really a good guy to root for beyond innocent civilians caught up in it. (Though you can certainly argue about who is the worst bad guy... That doesn't make their enemy not also a bad guy.)
No one was beheading babies. Please edit your post and stop spreading disinformation. This shit is exactly what Isreal wants to justify their apartheid state.
I'm a socialist and had a short lived account over there.
It's a bunch of "socialists" who are actually Putinists or unironic Hamas simps.
I'm absolutely pro Palestine but I absolutely abhor their views that anything that's not western is immediately good, even when they commit atrocity.
yeah basically. My latest exchange there was on a post saying how Hamas is great and they supported the mass murder of october 7th. I tried arguing and all I got in response was "but colonialism bad"-no shit bro, so murdering innocents good ? couldn't believe it
