Misinterpretated? What's the misinterpretation? That there isn't a genocide happening in the middle east? Or that it's okay if the ones doing the genociding were victims of a previous genocide?
Looks like you are the one misinterpreting. Are you going to recognize the genocide against the Uyghurs by China, or are you going to deny it is happening?
Oh my god no one is denying the one of MANY genocides happening, you whatabouting asshat.
That user will.
you do not seem to know them
You’re late to the party, the situation has been resolved.
By banning? I'm going to read on now
Upd: oh, it really was a misunderstanding, what a weird thread
Wtf are you going about? Recognizing the genocide being perpetuated against the Palestinians does not mean you can't recognize the one against the Uyghurs. Of course that's a genocide, too
I wasn’t talking to you.
Weak.
It's a public forum and I'm talking to you. If you don't want public input, don't participate in public places.
If you can’t handle people not willing to respond to you when they are talking to somebody else don’t participate in public places
Oh, I can handle it. I was just letting you know that to say "I'm not talking to you" in a public forum is dumb, kinda like you seem to be.
Let me rephrase, I’m not interested in talking to you.
See? I'm saying something simple. You didn't have to respond. I didn't expect you to. Yet for all of your saying you don't want to talk to me you sure keep on doing it.
Dumb.
You also could have just read my comment and realized I did not want to talk to you, but to get that dopamine you decided to keep going.
Dumb.
🙄
Goodnight. Enjoy making a fool of yourself in public then, I guess 👋
Likewise sweetie
Is that happening in the middle east?
Gonna deny it’s happening in China? Gonna just avoid genocide when it’s convenient?
Are you mentally challenged or just illiterate?
I can’t hear you through your genocide denial.
Mentally challenged, got it. Nobody here is denying any genocide, you fucking twat waffle.
I think you are denying the genocide against the Uyghurs by China. If you are not denying it, please correct me by saying very specifically that “China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs.” And then I will apologize. But I don’t think you can do it.
China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs.
Now, go on back to school and learn how to read and follow context.
My apologies. Thank you for clarifying
That was wild man, did you think you where on one of the tankie instances?
Sort of. I had them tagged as a China simp based on something they had said before. I don’t know what that was, but I have updated their tag so this confusion will not happen again, now that they have passed that litmus test
This is the exact bullshit that keeps genociders and race supremecists in power. "If you don't pass my personal baseless litmus test, you're not a real leftist, and are in fact a literal Nazi."
The litmus test is the Tankie test. You are incorrect in your assumptions
Sorry, I can read your response in my inbox but Connect won't let me see your reply to respond to in the full thread. But no, I'm not a fascist, leftist or otherwise. I've met and talked to Uyghur people living through and fighting against the cultural genocide happening in China, I know it's very real. My point was that you keep making enemies of your political friends on the basis of useless purity tests that ultimately just create more division and enable genociders worldwide. I don't think this was intentional on your part, I saw your explanation of the user tag and I totally get it. Lemmy is a tiny community, I've certainly tagged people negatively and then seen them in other threads saying things I agree with and been suspicious. Ultimately though, I think it's much more likely that I judged someone too harshly based on one or two comments than that they are some kind of misinformation propaganda bot or whatever, so I usually just ignore them if I don't have something to contribute to the actual discussion occurring. You just came in and completely changed the subject because you thought you already knew the opinion of the person you were talking to, causing unneeded confusion and adding nothing to the topic at hand. That's why people think you're the genocide denier, even though you're not.
No, people think I’m a genocide deny because they don’t want to read and they want to get that dopamine rush. Most likely those people don't actually give a shit about genocide at all, they just need something to care about temporarily to get themselves through the day.
Anyone who gets angry with me for criticizing Muslim genocide in one part of the world— in a thread about Muslim genocide in another part of the world— is missing the point that it’s all about Muslim genocide, and is a total fucking ass hat that does not deserve an ounce of my respect. Absolutely zero things that any of those people can say ever change my mind or make me feel bad about myself. The more they do it the more I know for sure that they don’t give a shit about genocide, they just care about crushing the west or getting their daily dopamine, or being part of a horde mentality.
What's a tankie but a leftist fascist? The quote was intentionally hyperbolic, but it wasn't inaccurate.
You are inaccurate when you say I was looking for Nazis. You are just all around wrong about the intention.
Are you a Tankie? Will you condemn the genocide of the Uyghurs by China?
If you had ME tagged that way, I think you must have misclicked when originally tagging someone. 🤨
It must have been something like that.
Now say that israel is comiting genocide
Israel is committing genocide.
I recognize all current genocides. Now will you stop using other genocide to justify another?
That isn’t what I’m doing. That’s what you’re saying I’m doing. Big difference.
Don't deflect then by talking about something else
I’m 100% on topic and not deflecting. Anything. You saying I’m deflecting does not make it so.
Ok so can you admit there is a genocide happening in Gaza right now. Just so I'm clear on your position.
There is a genocide against the Palestinians by Israel happening in Gaza right now.
See how easy it is to just say it.
Now you say the same about the Uyghurs.
Ok yeah I just wanted to make sure you werent deflecting. There is a genocide of the uyghurs in China as well the rohingyas in Myanmar.
We're not selling weapons to China for use in their genocide.
We are selling weapons to netanyahu for genocide. Which is why you're whatabouting.
Hey just for future reference so you don't sound like a bigot, not all Muslims live in the Middle East.
How does pointing out that Muslims live in China mean that I think all Muslims live in the Middle East?
