Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

I don't support Israel in Gaza, what gave you that impression? Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?

it was this comment of yours:

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And you got from that that I support Israel in their genocide?!? Both sides can be terrible and have gross humanitarian and moral issues.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you're both-sideing a genocide you have picked a side.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That isn't how logic works. What are you arguing? That every action of Hamas ever was entirely good and justified?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it's the duty of an occupied people to resist their occupation and genocide, that doesn't make them terrorists. the people delivering US weapon systems are the terrorists.

do you condemn the United States?

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes I condemn the United States.

You think it's good for people to rape and kill civilians, that it's justified by the end of resisting occupation?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

obviously I don't think it's good, but I'm not condemning them for resisting occupation.

I don't think any country is good, they all need to be dismantled, start at home.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I condemn things that aren't good even if they're working towards a good end. Why do think that shouldn't be condemned?

Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm opposed to all inter-capitalist wars tyvm.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Good, so we agree that Russia is in the wrong, and should not have invaded? Then we're not in agreement with the slice of hexbear I've interacted with.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

being anti war is not an uncommon opinion, just shows how little you actually interact.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

It isn't an uncommon opinion, but it seemed awfully hard to come by on hexbear, which was my whole point.

So you're bothsidesing the genocide of Ukrainians.

If you’re both-sideing a genocide you have picked a side.
