All of the references are from 2 years ago and a lot of information has come out since then about Israel, their propaganda, what Hamas really did and what they didn’t do or what was overblown, Gaza and the Israeli genocide as a whole.
Furthermore, I also agree with you @PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social about someone or a group manipulating to stir the pot. It’s something the Tankie Triad has been known to do in the past and there’s no reason to believe they aren’t doing it now.
Yeah, maybe that’s fair. On the other hand it was pretty clear two years ago that Israel was a genocidal monster, it just has become a lot more unanimous and urgent viewpoint since they started a new phase of the active genocide. But yeah, posting the thing about evacuating babies from Gaza isn’t nearly as suspect two years ago as it would be now.
To me, the thing with PugJesus seems a lot more suspicious. That raised a ton of red flags for me, I don’t really see any reason you would do that whole sequence of actions if there wasn’t some kind of plot behind it. And then, looked at it that light, it starts to become a lot more weird for them to start this super public beef with dbzer0.
I won’t get into the bans here since that’s being worked out in private right now.
However, I will say that this part
Tankies never venture into this community, despite this being a place where they can freely discuss their viewpoints.
Is indeed true, I have personally seen Goat allow (and even participate in) well known tankies to speak in threads without bans or comment removal even when they are downvoted to oblivion. Provided they aren’t just trolling, which is quite common as you might imagine.

Another random thought, but isn’t allowing tankies to speak exactly the issur goat has with dbzer0, calling it a tankie bar?

Still seems hardly compatible with being banned just because of your instance, but you do you
I checked what @PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social found, I don’t think it’s as bad as it first appears.

I will say, I have seen Goat condemn Israel and call their actions Genocide recently here https://sh.itjust.works/comment/20786914

What about goat banning every dbzer0 user, as seen in the OP? Seems contradictory with

And more along the lines of what you were denouncing

Notice how he didn’t respond to this but everything else. Like he agrees that anyone to the left of Biden is a Tankie.
