I received insults

Someone even posted photos of dead bodies

These comments weren’t reviewed, but I was permanently blocked because my political stance is to hope for the reunification of my country. They said I have nothing to offer, just spreading propaganda and negativity.

      Everyone has to do this? I mean I’m German… The borders here have changed all the time for centuries. I don’t post offensive memes about who should be incorporated into some country… Or ejected from my country. Or whether Ukraine belongs to Russia… Or Venezuela to the USA… Or the West Banks to Israel… That’s not really funny once people die because of it.

        I don’t agree with OP, but this thinking can be used to say Ireland should never get its land back from Britain.

          I think someone sharing an IRA-type commentator implying support for the violent takeover of Northern Ireland would receive a similar level of contempt.

              So you think someone supporting the hypothetical attack of people in Northern Ireland and promoting it would be a good thing?

              The people of Northern Ireland are descendents of descendents of descendents. They have their own devolved government, and I expect that within some election cycles, a pro-Republican majority will hold the Stormont and be able to seriously move to a referendum. In our lifetime.

              Calling for violence in light of that reality is repulsive.

                England has been doing this for centuries.

                The people of Northern Ireland are descendents of descendents of descendents

                What “people” are you talking about here? Everybody is a desendent of a descendent of a descendent… Meaningless.

                If someone is a descendent of fascists and they’re still carrying that banner, then they’re still a fascist.

                I think Ireland should be reunited. Violence is not my first choice, but it is so far the only tool that has gotten us where we are today and I am not privileged enough to condone it.

        Your borders changed because you attacked the world. We got attacked by the world.

          You openly laughed about the prospect of China invading Taiwan.

          A situation that would cause millions to be killed potentially.

            But can Westerners spread false information about China’s collapse and the deaths of millions of people and then ridicule it?

            They can call us “West Taiwan” and then mock about KMT taking over power?

              Without looking, that thread looks tongue-in-cheek. You just posted Danny Haiphong who once went to Belgium and complained about all the blue and yellow he saw, thinking it was to do with being pro-Ukraine, except it was just that cities aesthetic.

              Report it if you think it’s offensive and violates the rules. That’s how moderation works here. And you’d expect more glee and negative sentiment because some countries are “underdogs” and some aren’t. That doesn’t make anything right, but that’s how it is on the internet. Just do your part and report things which you think are inappropriate… Two wrongs don’t make a right!

                  Yeah. I can’t make a statement here, I wasn’t involved and I can’t read up on it. But you did the right thing, then with reporting things.

          I don’t think you being allowed to post political memes about other people’s lives is rooted in whether your people were attacked in history. At least not directly… And I didn’t attack nobody, so maybe I should play the victim card as well? I mean all of this is arbitrary. Why does Mongolia and everything up to Lake Baikal not belong to China? Why is Kaliningrad Russian and not Prussian? Why am I German in the first place? And why do we keep stupid little countries like Belgium or Luxembourg around? We had a lot of war and attacks happen in history of mankind…

          Their borders changed after WWI when they got attacked by the world. But I see them reconquering their land in WWII is where you draw the line, so maybe you shouldn’t do that?

      No, revanchists would receive the outcome no matter who they are.

      The Taiwanese don’t want to be governed by the CCP.
