Upon being criticised for their support of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks, tankies unsurprisingly double down - eviltoast

    You are free to create a Hexbear account and contribute however you like. I promise they will answer any questions you have civilly, so long as you don’t provoke them. But they’ve not committed to civility like you’ve done here, so be careful not to let you mask slip.

    I have, and I was, and no, I got perma’d. Four different users also attempted to dox me. I know since I was in their private chatrooms during the time. Seeing them get frustrated when they couldn’t do it was very entertaining. They even tried image meta-data, the poor things

    And my mask? I don’t have a mask. I’m very honest with my views and am willing to share them with anyone who wishes to know.

      Can people with views that differ my own have come to those views in an honest and reasoned fashion, even if I think they’re flawed?

      Nah, they’re definitely just bad faith fascists hiding their “power level”.

      Scary easy to see how easy you end up with thought police when people that think like this hold power.

        Extremists tend to think everyone else is as extreme as they are. It’s quite sad

      Welp, i guess there we have it. I’ve so far managed to avoid provoking them myself, cross my fingers I don’t get on their bad side.

          I have no way of knowing if that’s accurate, nor to i have any way of knowing what it was that got you perma’d.

          try to say that stalin was a disaster for communism and his dictatorship killed it, then you’ll be in trouble

          I probably wouldn’t say that, because the US defeated communism (according to their own accounting). I would tread lightly around anything I may not agree with them on, but I do happen to agree with them on a lot. At least most of them. Half of them. Maybe slightly less than a majority of them.

          What can I say, they aren’t a monolith.

            You can say that Stalin was bad, right?

            What can I say, they aren’t a monolith.

            But their hatred towards diversity and dissent is

                Bad on what grounds? His Soviet project certainly didn’t last, I think that failure is bad. He had quite a few deaths under his leadership, that was pretty bad, too. But it’d be crazy to discuss Stalin’s failures without acknowledging the post war reality: a depleted and war-torn Russia, former allies (who just dropped two atomic bombs on Japan to make a point) immediately resuming hostilities and sanctions against his fledgling national project, and the isolation that comes with being that cold-war black sheep that nobody wants to play with. From that perspective it’s suddenly not surprising that his project failed, even if you think he committed huge atrocities on the way down.

                If you disagree with Stalin, you’d better be quick to acknowledge the systemic conditions that contributed to his failure before you get to blaming him for the holomodor lmao. Fair game if you think his leadership decisions were huge mistakes or weren’t justified, though they’ll probably disagree.

                damn that didn’t take long at all, what is it with you guys and your inability to disavow stalin’s atrocities? poor, poor Stalin’s USSR was forced to do genocide, they had to kill all those people :(

                    I am very lenient with them, yeah. It’s good to have people with dissenting opinions, even though they’re acting in bad faith and have admitted to just fishing for replies. Diversity is key, afterall. Of course, it’ll be different if they were insulting every user here and generally being a bad sport.

                    However, the line is drawn at apologia.

        Did you inherit a thousand years of piss-poor takes or are you just great at making shitty opinions?
