Hey, uhm, I know you're gonna react negatively to this, but could you answer me one simple yes or no question?
Are you pro-Russian?
And I'm of course against Russia but against Israel too you see
We have so much in common! I wish we had elected someone who wouldn't simultaneously give Ukraine over to Russia, and ensure the total annihilation of the Palestinian people, and remove all access to gender affirming care for trans people in the country I live in.
But I guess the fact that I thought we should vote for the person who would kill fewer people means I support genocide, at least according to the 196 mod team
Explicitly mentioning it, despite already saying you support Ukraine. I like it. Thanks.
I should not explain my opinions/positions regarding this,
As a trans person, i cant be on the putin's side you see ;)
But, i hate to see things like "kill the russians" etc,
Do we accept "kill jews/israelien" ? No, and in good reason,
Why should we accept then the "kill all russians" etc ?
Well, there's a lot of Mexicans in the US who voted for Trump. There's even a meme regarding people voting for leopards eating their faces, so you know, you can't trust people to be reasonable always.
Who has said "kill all Russians"? Who has said "kill all jews"? (Aside from Hitler and his ilk)
I think it would be disingenuous to pretend like the majority of people are for massacring Israelis or Russians, when they're clearly advocating for stopping the genocide in Gaza and Russia backing off from their attack on Ukraine. They broke international laws. Both of those parties, that is. That's just... not on. Being against those actions and the people who perpetrated them doesn't mean you're advocating for "an eye for an eye" (a genocide for a genocide).
I agree that the negative impacts of capitalism are significant, which may explain why some Mexican and Black voters support Trump. This phenomenon is perplexing to me, and I struggle to understand it.
Regarding hate speech, I want to address the troubling comments I've seen on platforms like Lemmy, where users have made statements such as "Time to kill more Russians." This kind of rhetoric should not be tolerated, just as we do not accept antisemitism. It is essential to uphold a standard that rejects all forms of hate.
The problem is that these harmful comments often receive upvotes, which can mislead and confuse members of the Lemmy community, including its administrators. I frequently observe this dynamic at play.
Concerning the cries regarding such instances (ML, HB, LM), I believe that if these individuals are coherent in their beliefs, they should also oppose bigotry and racism, which can sometimes be found in other communities, such as on LW, Sopuli, etc.
There is clearly a lack of moderation in many instances, and this needs to be addressed to foster a more inclusive and respectful environment.
Nope,
I'm on the side of Ukrainian if you want to know 😑😐
Good, good, just checking.
