I hope this post fits the content and format of this community, if not I’m sorry.
I’m just incredibly shocked by the fact that an admin of the instance lemmy.dbzer0.com is openly supporting Hamas.
Here’s a link to the comment: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/61235665/23634712
Go to their leftymeme community, there is a lot of regressive tankie content.
Glorification of the CCP (claiming they are not authoritarian), glorification of DPRK (!!!), tons of “Death to America” type content, whitewashing of russia and much more…
These is pretty standard stuff for online “communists” based in the West.
You should find some of those posts and share in this comm
Lol
Apparently if the USSR killed you, you were a Nazi. 100% Nazis the USSR never killed anybody that wasn’t a Nazi/s
Especially the millions of people who definitely were not Nazis like those dastardly ukrainians and Afghans and Georgians and those capitalists etc

lmao that’s a good post. you should share that one
Be my guest
I think I will do that one of these days, I honestly have only been two comms on DB0, one unrelated to politics and the other one is the mod abuse one where I got perma-banned for challenging DB0’s pet poster (believe it or not they didn’t perma-ban me for pointing out the regressiveness and lack of humanity of the tankies).
Lefty Memes follows the principle of “leftist unity”.
I strongly oppose the principle, and especially disagree that it benefits anarchism, but it should be clear still that your conflation, of everyone as belonging to the same monolithic group, is narrow and ignorant.
I actually didn’t say anything about monolithic groups or leftists unity (to be honest, I couldn’t care less about this).
I did say that DB0 was suspect and they enable and promote tankie demagoguery (among many other things, glorification of the brutal DPRK regime).

You imply the existence of a monolithic group by your continued careless use of “they” and “their”.
Unity doesn’t mean you should be allowing extremism and bigotry.
You have already demonstrated elsewhere in the comments that your sense of bigotry is distorted, as through the twisted rhetoric of Zionism.
Regardless, my objection is to the assumption that everyone associated with DB0 agrees with all off the content, as would seem to be based on a mindset of “us versus them”.
Yes, Zionism is a very convenient dogwhistle
David Duke of the KKK also uses zionism way prior to social media recognition, where he uses Zionist to refer to Jews.
I’ve dealt with neo-nazis and their extremism before and they too use zionism as a means of obscuring their views. For someone who larps so much about nuance, you should know that dogwhistles exist, and it’s the contents of the post that determine whether or not something is extremist and bigoted, or in this case, antisemitic.
