    Well meanwhileongrad was fun while it lasted I guess lol. Tell me you’re a much bigger PTB than even the accusations you got on YPTB, without telling me.

    goat’s done a couple of weird things that I have observed. I think the most notable was that they made PugJesus a mod, PJ said he didn’t want to be a mod, they left him as a mod even with him repeatedly asking not to be, and then a little while later, they made a big public show of deciding he was a Zionist and announcing they were removing him as a mod. It always felt to me like there was more going on with that story.

    Anyway yeah it sounds like he’s a tool.

    There was another post about goat banning every m@te they saw. They’re kinda salty about being featured on yptb.

          And then he said db0 was infested with tankies because we said that the UN and Amnesty International don’t call the Uyghur people being mistreated a genocide. We used the official terms used by official agencies, and that meant we deny genocide.

          When we agreed the Uyghurs were being mismanaged, but it wasn’t genocide because has serious implications and must be called as such when it happens (See: Palestinian, Armenian, Ukrainian), we’re somehow denying it, when international organizations don’t call it one.

            I mean, the tankies aren’t denying widespread famine or the mismanagement of Tienamin square, or reasonable criticism of Putin either. We do all have a hard time accepting even our own evidence that our own governments heavily propagandize us. Hearty disagreement may be healthy and productive, but plenty of listening and examining all available supporting and critical evidence, with plenty of time taken to consider and reconsider while asking thoughtful questions, perhaps before asking them would do us all good.

        Apparently just being from db0 is now against the rules at MoG? TankieJerk thinks you’re a fascist now too. I don’t always agree with what you say but you’re far from being a fascist. Huge yikes from the mods of both communities.

          Thank you, I appreciate that fact at least. I don’t expect everyone to always agree with me, not even my best friends and family. I am a deeply flawed human, I’ll be the first to tell anyone that.

          But its just odd that we’re both fascists and tankies and anything else because we wanted Harris to win by calling out Trump, saying she’ll stop funding Israel, promote popular polices, etc.

          Or we’re fascists for saying China is not a holy state. Or that murder is bad no matter which side does it.

          The reasons why we’re fascist-tankies is new each time.

            When I first read there, I was also deeply offended. I now see how liberal ideas are deeply rooted in fascist thinking and now liberals are quicker to allow fascist ideology than try to get a different perspective. It’s not our fault we’ve been abused, but healing that is our responsibility.

      I hope this is the drama that gets people to realize you’re a troll and a tankie sympathizer.

      If you feel like have to hide your beleifs and abuse your small amount of power to forward those beliefs then your ideology isn’t valid ffs

        Yeah mate, I’m a “tankie sympathizer” who made an instance with an explicit anti-tankie rule. I’m playing 4d chess. Fuck outa here.

        This drama mostly shows that goat doesn’t apply their own principles

        Tankies never venture into this community, despite this being a place where they can freely discuss their viewpoints.

        https://sh.itjust.works/comment/21062682

        How is it supposed to be possible when people get banned just for their instance as seen in the OP

        Ironic that this is usually the type of blocking that is criticized on MoG

        .ml actually has this comm instance-blocked LMAO

            I did not, I was pointing out the hypocrisy.

            Obv tankies aren’t welcome on the anti tankie community lol

            Then goat shouldn’t pretend otherwise like in the comment above. Make it make sense.

      Recently someone posted one of the .ml admins saying the BBC was not neutral, and the entire community went “no that’s accurate, they were told to not publish stories about Israel, have manufactured stories on Jeremy Corbyn, and constantly try to both sides transgender issues.”

      And I’m amazed goat didn’t just ban everyone there in that moment for questioning an idol of the neoliberal brainrot.

    There’s a lot of .ml and hexbear users who moved to db0 because they wanted people to have to see their shit opinions again.

    I don’t have a judgment on this one, two petty mods fighting
