    Some wild comments on /politics receiving upvotes there. People rebuking them get their comments removed and/or banned for ‘trolling’.

    When one visit that place they would think Donald Trump is the current president who is personally strangling every child in Gaza.

    People are actively censoring and denying any responsibility from the Democrats regarding the genocide in Gaza.

    People are utter the words “Kamala was not perfect” while she is an active participant in a genocide.

    It is not “Israel can do nothing wrong because history”. Democrats are the main responsible party. Seemingly they can do no wrong because lesser evil.

    Have you ever watched one of the dystopian Biden state department briefings? It is lie after lie after lie.

    In that case the term Tankie could not be applied to China as the original meaning of the word Tankies could only apply to the Soviet Union.

    What I have always understood to be the implication is “people justifying and usually denying war crimes from a government or group which aligns with their political ideology”.

    Most often those people do not care about the war crimes. They think a government and/or government ideology is awesome and therefore will excuse any war crimes because it is for the greater good/lesser evil.

    Russia does bomb regularly bomb infrastructure such as energy plants. But Russia is not mass bombing schools, hospitals and refugee camps. Every time they do it it is front page news because 2 people died. Meanwhile Israel bombs a school killing 20 people every single day.

    If Russia did what America and Israel are doing in Gaza, the front page of newspapers would be filled with sob stories and gore. And Hamas would be praised as brave resistance fighters against the modern Nazis.










  • Preferable a smaller rotating "general’ instance such as zip or sdf to prevent the clustering around large instances.

    A major issue is accounts are bound to instances. It would be amazing if there was a way to migrate accounts from one instance to another if a user so desires later on.

    Another major issue is there are no real instances where the admins are not actively trying to enforce a certain political point of view from the top down which means there are no “real general instances”.
