      And yet, here you are doing just that.

      Now, let’s all take a moment and quietly imagine what would happen if someone should go to .ml and call out Putin for being a sad little coward that can’t take criticism without windowing someone to death…

        I do not think that would be an issue. Its not like Putin is even pretending to be a leftist, nor has he ever.

          Seriously? The admin there refuses to answer when asked if they support Russia. And check the modlogs. They hand out vague “rule 1” violations that are critical of communism sometimes several times a day.

          .ml isn’t just a safe haven for leftist trolls.

            Criticizing communism isn’t criticizing Putin, who is not a communist.

            I’ve had posts criticizing capitalism be removed from .world… So, obviously, they hate the US, right?

                    If its that big of a concern for you, go hunt them down.

                    But first, since you offered it: Where are the modlogs showing bans because of Putin criticism on ml? Or Hexbear?

                    Interestingly enough, in specific, I got banned from world for laughing about the mass murderer that was purportedly killed by Mangione.

        And I’m not hearing any criticism of Putin, Leobold II, Pol Pot, or Charles Manson from you. What’s you point?

              I refused to engage with you. The person originally calling you out was 100% right. You’re pushing a hidden agenda and no one should do anything other then make fun of you.

                “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

        Still not hearing any trump criticism from ya…

        Criticize him for supporting a genocide in Israel? Last I heard from the neoliberals, that’s just a practical necessity, and we cannot blame Trump for 77 years of US-Israeli policy…

        Woah. What’s it called when you can’t tell sarcasm and serious apart? Godwinned?

        The .ml troll that got banned, are they serious or are they playing? That went 0 to nazi in the fewest steps I think I’ve ever seen.

            Your removed post at the same level in this chain. You called the guy you were slapfighting with a nazi and there was a Hitler comparison as well.

            I can’t tell if you actually believe that, are just trolling, or are muddying the waters to control the narrative.

              Well he accused me of being a Trump supporter because he didn’t see me criticize Trump, so I pointed out that I didn’t see him criticize Hitler…

                Huh. So how would you describe yourself politically? Are there governments you approve of?

                  I’m a Marxist/Leftist. There’s no governments that I’d hold up as perfect ideals, but I’m fairly supportive of existing marxist aligned governments (well, not so much DPRK, but I also recognized the historical reason it’s like that). I’m also relatively supportive of soc-dem governments that actually make some effort to follow their principles, like New Zealand or Ireland.
