"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
You missed the reason for the post. Dude has a hard-on for banning “genocidal liberals”
He’s up Putin’s ass regardless of the topic, so that’s a non-starter.
Oh, yeah, you are completely correct in terms of it being sadly hilarious that he's trying so hard to tightly control the narrative on lemmy.ml as if that horse hasn't already left the barn, found a new barn to be a part of, met a lady horse, had some foals, and retired to a nice pleasant place beside a lake where he can look back on his life of service.
Guy: Everyone's been exposed to liberals at this point. The people who are susceptible to being convinced, have been, and the ones who are resistant to the libs are still around and probably planning to stay. You can relax and just go back to making nice non-political counterculture subs and periodically talking about how awesome North Korea is or spilling the beans that American cops are racist sometimes.

He's getting his terminology confused with "conservative democrats". But it shouldn't surprise, it is .ml, if you're not left of Stalin you are a genocidal maniac. I'm sure the irony is lost on them
You want irony? I was curious about the context of OP's post and went looking at dessalines's profile, and got distracted before I accomplished the mission because I immediately found:
Dude... pardoning or outright supporting literal murderers because of what someone else did is the entirety of the .ml worldview as far as I can tell.
I’d love to know what medications or drugs that tool is using.
Not really. What we call conservative democrats are simply liberals in the original meaning of that word, which is commonly used outside North America and by a good chunk of leftists. "Liberal" is also more general in that it doesn't capture only Pelosi and her ilk, but most people in American national politics other than maybe Bernie.
And if you're left of Stalin you're a CIA tool. These people hate anarchists too.
I have found that the word "liberal" has been sufficiently divorced from meaning that it's best avoided at this point.
Generally the role that it plays in the .ml worldview is "I know you're a liberal because you showed approval for (literally any US politics thing), and all liberals tacitly support Israel, so YOU SUPPORT ISRAEL HOW COULD YOU YOU ARE LITERALLY A WEREWOLF ARGHARHJGEBFJHSDBVMSDFBF."
Nowadays for me, the term “liberal” just means not an idiot wannabe-socialist/communist, and not a trump-worshiping minion.
Most people who would call themselves liberal means they are pro human rights. It's really that simple.
They brand „genocidal liberal“ everyone who isn’t foaming at the mouth to demand the destruction of Israel.
Also anyone who supports Ukraine, or Hong Kong, or pretty much anything.
Generally, the logic is that Ukraine was "genociding" the ethnic Russians under their purview (they were not), and so Russia was forced to step in and put a stop to it, and oh no now things have gotten out of hand oh well let's blow up some more power stations, but what can you do.
No, you get branded as a genocidal liberal because you’re a foaming at the mouth Islamophobic Zionist.
