People keep on saying this but I haven’t noticed it. Am I just immune to being greatly annoyed by the delivery if the intentions are right? Show me where the hexbear touched you, OP!

Isn’t Hexbear a leftist community? Aren’t leftists by default anti-imperialist and the biggest genocides in history and ongoing perpetrated by bloodthirsty empires? I feel like most people affiliated can’t be genocide deniers, come on…

You missed a word, your comment doesnt make sense, but I understand what you are saying. Most communities on lemmy are leftist, and by default anti-imperialist, anti-colonialist and anti-genocide. Hexbear is not unique in that. They are often pro russia and pro china, and so by inference they are fine with the invasion of a sovereign nation, and fine with the genocide of the uyghurs.
So, pro genocide. More than one genocide can happen in the world at the same time.

Ehhh, the American administration has singlehandedly wrecked the world for their own gain pretty much since WW2, either directly through the murder of hundreds of thousands or indirectly sponsoring coups and sowing instability overall. I mean, even the invasion of Ukraine happened because of an American coup in Ukraine in 2011 (that, eventually, ended up with the actor in office) and Russia understanding this as the precursor of an American mobilization in Russia. And whilst the Chinese human right abuses are also monstrous and unethical, at least they’re localised? It’s a mishandling of internal affairs, not an external invasion and utter destruction. I’m sorry, but they’re not even comparable. You could say “if China had carte blanche like the US did through military supremacy they would’ve acted the same way” but I doubt it, because I’ve seen and lived around Chinese people and around Americans/Westerners and the cultures couldn’t be more different… Regardless, if we take away the maybes, you have to objectively admit the American admin has been a blight on this world, through leaders on “both sides” of the American political spectrum, moreso than anyone in recent history.
You can hate all three, or you can hate the American admin and give more leeway to those who haven’t yet shown they’re entirely Godless and immoral, and you can certainly prefer the Chinese and Russian admin for the same reasons, I guess.

The USSR rivals the US, Japan and Germany for the most imperialist state in the past 100 years, so no, leftists are not anti-imperialist by default, that’s closer to liberals. Leftists are anti-capitalist by default.

Then maybe my understanding of “leftism” as a term is wrong. Just a little question, what political party would you consider “liberal”?

They are very far left
Like Authoritative Communism left (once you go past a certain point the left and right look the same)
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 6 days ago
I don’t believe that, I believe that the terms stop having meaning when tyranny overpowers ideology.

you sound defensive for someone with no skin in the game :D

I’m sorry, OP, I’ve just read that a couple too many times and I truly wonder what the reasoning behind it is. Is it just American right-wingers complaining? Cause, whatever, America is going full isolationist so we only have to listen to them for a decade or so before they firewall everything and Lemmy goes full German, lol. Or is it something else?
SomeGuyNamedDave@lemm.ee 6 days ago
The american right wingers comment was offhand and mostly a joke. like another user said, it was probably a bot. Or, it was a user I annoyed who is a mod on a small instance, and they banned me out of frustration. they might have even been right wing, who knows?
Sounds like there’s something behind your comment, if you have a problem with anything I’ve said, just come out and say it.

Stop feeding the troll, for crying out loud. Look at their comment history. Social media literacy died in 2020, I swear.

You know what? I’m about to say it: I don’t care that you broke your elbow.
