I've gotten banned and censored from communities there for saying that Ukraine should fight back against Russia.
Unfortunately for you, the modlog is public
Yeah so check it.
You were temp banned, usually those are for a few days for the person to cool down. The removed comment was part of a chain advocating for the collective punishment of russian civilians
Where did I say civilians? That's just the pretext they used to silence any words against Russia.
What do you think people need to be punished implies?
Asking as have seen way too many say it totally only means the bad ones especially when talking about areas they believe everyone in the area are fair game
I didn't use those words. Stop putting words in my mouth. If you can't make the case with the words I actually said, you can't make the case.
I mean taking out oil facilities, energy facilities, government facilities, and homes of politicians and military leaders who support the war. But in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
So we are using your words, you just don't like how people react to what you are saying.
This goes back to those that think it's okay to blow shit up if it belongs to the bad people. Also see how Israelis see their neighbors
Yes those are my words. I never said anything about attacking civilians. Maybe I should have elaborated, but I was talking about hitting Moscow and St. Petersburg. The other guy was talking about civilians. Just because someone puts up a straw man and I didn't immediately tear it down doesn't mean I said something.
But this is what it's like on .ml. Someone will twist your argument into something that can get you banned without you even saying the words that you are getting banned for. It's a worthless place to be.
Your deleted comment was also about nothing will change until the people feel it when talking about how Ukraine needs to hit Russian cities.
Which gets back to asking what you think people are if not civilians.
It's not a strawman when you start with bomb the cities
They will feel it when they see targets in their cities being hit. And I've already told you what targets I meant.
Which again gets back to do you not care or think about the people living in the cities?
Or it okay as long as a legal order? Cause there's others on lemmy who love to say that's fine even if order is to target civilians
Yes it's okay as long as it's a legal order. And there are plenty of legal targets in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
So you see how people react to that and go wow that person wants to be able to kill civilians?
Especially after saying and I quote
it's fine if a legal order?
Edit
Oh people quoting you is probably what you meant by
If you want to give an example of what an .ml mindfuck, being taken out of context and banned is like, congrats you have succeeded.
So you think it's legal to expressly target civilians?
And no one could quote me saying the things they said I did because I didn't.
This is literally what was removed and the entire argument/question. Do you think people are okay targets if in wrong country, and it's yes.
Again it was if it's a legal order is it okay for them to kill people or civilians and you said yes. But now that you see it you're not too no I totally meant not if being specifically targeted, but it's fine if they're collateral
Like fuck how does this keep happening, especially from the ones calling ml a shit hole
I think we have a misunderstanding. I meant legal by international law. It is not legal by international law to target civilians. So no, I do not think it's okay to target civilians, full stop.
But yes this is very much how .ml feels. Twisting words to achieve some sort of propaganda win. Excellent job there.
In the linked chain, repeatedly.
It's amazing how many don't see people as civilians simply because live in the wrong spot
That is untrue. I never said it. And for the record I only believe in hitting military targets and those of politicians and military officials involved in the war.
Also I think you are cherry picking. They have censored me more times than that. Maybe it was on my now defunct lemm.ee account.
Ok. Anyone can easily click the link to verify that you're lying, so I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish.
Yes they can see I did not
So, again, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by lying about this.
I don't know what you are trying to accomplish by lying about this.
Lol. "I know you are but what am I!"
That's a US military intervention.
