    I would show you, but mods deleted all my comments! Just criticize Putin, Stalin or Kim Jogn Un in the socialism.ml or memes.ml instance and you’ll instantly have -10 downvotes and probably a ban

        He said he would like to see one case of this happening… a comment would demonstrate that

          No, he said he would like to see an example of an .ml user calling Putin progressive. Are you drunk?

            Could we please not resort to ad hominem attacks and insults, “Nonconfrontational”? This isn’t Reddit.

            Logically, I don’t follow where that was specifically asked, but here’s a comment calling Putin’s Russia progressive: https://lemmy.ml/comment/27815508

              Thats not what an ad hominem is you dolt. This is also not an ad hominem. I swear to god you pseudo-intellectual wannabe smartbois are the worst thing to come out of reddit. You pick up something through cultural osmosis and then your half-baked brain slings it out whenever you feel threatened, fearful you might actually have to think for a moment, yet you never look into what the concept actually is. <- also not an ad hominem, just an insult.
              If you’re going to run your mouth, make sure to do basic research beforehand. <- also not an ad hominem, more of a plea.

              And the comment you quoted doesnt call Putin or “Putins Russia” a progressive. It argues that the nation plays a progressive role in geopolitics today, due to it functioning as an opponent to the USA. Jesus Christ, learn basic reading comprehension.

              So that’s actually calling Russia a reactionary nationalist state playing a progressive role in the context of a war between the imperial global hegemony, lol.

              Do you have any examples of someone calling Putin progressive or not?

                As you acknowledge, it quite clearly states Putin’s Russia plays a “progressive role.”

                I’d like you to apologize to me for calling me “drunk.” It was ad hominem and has no place in discourse.

                Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia bombed children’s hospitals and bankrolled Trump Jr’s wedding. If you and I are against imperialism, we should be against all of these things.

                    Progressive is an adjective in this context. Your characterization is misleading and incorrect.

                    OP clearly supports Putin’s Russia as a perceived bullwark against NATO.

                    I didn’t catch your apology for the ad hominem. Kindly reply herewith

                So we’re in agreement that one should not be banned for expressing a negative opinion of the USSR?

                  there’s plenty of criticism of the USSR, Stalin, Putin in these spaces.

                  people who are lazily ragebaiting and accusing people of being mossad for criticism of the US prison-industrial complex do get banned though

                    Criticism of the USSR, Stalin, and Putin is deleted in ml instances. My deletion history proves it.

                    The representation was inaccurate, as 80% of the 1996 US figure quoted were on probation, not incarcerated.

                    It’s not lazy ragebaiting to verify facts, is it?

                    And since you’re such an expert, which Lemmy user in particular, was insulted? Why is the mere assertion that one works on behalf of an intelligence service considered an insult by a disinterested observer?

            Considering what shows up in the modlog about you, and how you presented the same situation, I’m quite certain you werent just some uwu smol bean who merely said a country was authoritarian. You might have more succes talking about how unreasonable moderation is on specific instances, if you actually tell the truth about what happened.

        That was not the comment I was banned for, and you know it.

        80% of that figure weren’t imprisoned, they were on probation! Clearly misinformation when you look at the facts… that upsets Stalinists.

        Have a sense of humor!

          You got banned for repeatedly calling things you disagreed with a “mossad psyop” while completely failing to engage with any argument presented to you. You did not get banned for a specific comment, but for you behavior throughout the thread.
