They’re more charitable than I am, frankly.

I am Russian and the reason I don’t move back is because I’m trans and have a life here in the US that I’m not looking to uproot. I’m more inclined to do organizing where I live now and I certainly don’t have the resources to move back home and start from scratch there. On top of that it wouldn’t gain me anything, I would be trading one set of reactionary assholes in power for another.

If life is bleak I’m going to do mutual aid and try to find like minded people to survive with, not run away.

Why don’t you live in China or Russia if life is so bleak in the western countries?

“if you don’t like it, leave” was the sentiment, I pointed out how you sound. It sounds like something I would expect from an american chud- hence posting a shirt I thought you’d like.

The australian running that comm has such a predictable worldview

‘left right terminology doesn’t have a place’ - sounds like they prefer the third position.

They’re a zionist, but in the mealymouthed ‘two state solution’ vein, probably due to their shared experience as a colonial occupier.

for whatever reason they do show up in the modlog in the op

I had to do a double take reading that comment too, because while davel is an admin, the post did say “moderator”

I actually did the exact same thing, the bait posts are just too fun

lmao this sort of thing is probably why people accuse us of all posting on the same schedule, clearly we just clocked in at the Kremlin

immediately massacred opposition in Odessa,

This didn’t happen though.

dozens of people died and nobody was prosecuted, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

removed Russian language rights

This also didn’t happen.

this feels like you’re gaslighting, they made Ukrainian mandatory to use in public life, the only exceptions given were for EU languages and English. Russian, Belarusian and Yiddish did not get those exceptions.

this is what you sound like

cw: nazi bar

wait until you see that there there’s a ~200 comment thread on the snark comm discussing this thread in addition!

CW gross ideation about /u/davel:

these people are seriously unwell, absolute nazi bar.

I came across one of them saying I was a degenerate roach in another thread there:

Rereading the comment thread is textbook dogwhistling->gaslighting.

Can you point to some examples?

I just hope they meet people from China or Russia irl some day, and can learn some empathy towards them. I know I’ve learned a lot from my Chinese and Russian friends.

I’m from Russia, been living in the US pretty much all my life though. Got to have a front row seat for all the jingoistic warmongering in my time here.

Funnily enough they almost always live in western democracies where they don’t need to fear reprisals for criticizing their government, something they wouldn’t dare do in China

bold assertion to make while pretty much every western ‘democracy’ is cracking down on people protesting for palestine

Deeply unserious.

I’m a feminist, opposed to any unjust hierarchy really. One of the things that set me off at a young age was how the US never passed the equal rights amendment.

Also in my home country the women’s liberation movement was tied up with the communist movement which also is why I have a lot of the politics that I do

You gave that as an example of a provable claim. We can clearly see proof of ‘Israel’ massacring Palestinians, and have had new evidence appearing every day of the occupation.

Do you have any proof of your claim that doesn’t come exclusively filtered through a right wing fundamentalist?

You know his work though, quoting you:

You can prove stuff like “capitalism is destroying the ecosystem” or “China masacered the Uigurs”

I found out about Adrian Zenz because he was showing up in every source whenever I tried to look into accusations about how “China masacered the Uigurs”[sic].

Maybe you should look into where information is coming from before citing it as provable fact.

edit: someone even directly replied to you asking you for a source other than him over two years ago

I was referring to Adrian zenz, that guy seems to pop up in literally every western accusation about China at this point.

The most recent example being him as a ‘fluent’ mandarin speaker hearing the word “满勤奖” or ‘full attendance award’ from a recording in a factory and intentionally misrepresenting it as “Xinjiang.” That was then the basis for then claiming that there was evidence of forced labor in Xinjiang.

The way to fight for the people isn’t by going along with 100% of US propaganda about its state enemies.

Do you think that I should be taking a German fundamentalist ‘on a mission from god’ against china and communism as an authority on the oppression there when he doesn’t even speak the language and routinely fabricates evidence?

planes are flying meds and food to Gaza…

No they aren’t! Why are you just straight up lying!

They are airdopping tiny amounts of aid and straight up killing people with it at times [1][2]

Quoting the guy who died from another airdrop shortly after:

" “This isn’t aid delivery,” said the 32-year-old medic as a crowd of children rummaged through the remains of an airdrop behind him. “This is humiliation.”"
