The common heritage thing is kind of a bad take tbh. It's like asking why the Irish have a beef with the English in 1920, why can't all Britons just get along.
Not a ban worthy take. More like sitting someone down and explaining that some weird notion of racial solidarity from literally 2000 years ago probably isn't going to defuse the situation.
I mean, I'd have to drill into what they mean more to be sure, but I took it as just that - the Irish had beef with the English in 1920 not because of some fundamental difference of being between the peoples, but because the English had shitty rulers with no interest in the well-being of the Irish or the English.
Although, gruesomely and related to the original comment's mention of relatives, there are more neighbors and intermarriage even between the notoriously sectarian and segregated Catholics and Protestants in 1920s Ireland than in modern Israel, considering Israel's ban on interfaith marriage and the whole apartheid occupation deal going on.
This is lunacy it's like it's getting worse and worse
Of course it is. The US election is in 2 days. Gotta ramp up the discord and propaganda!
You think it's out of hand now?
Just wait until 9am Moscow Standard Time on monday morning. It'll take a little bit of time for them to drink their coffee and have the morning meeting to figure out their talking points. The smarter ones will wait until 9am eastern before they start posting.

Side note if all the mainstream Lemmy instances blocked Russia we might see a decrease in spam
I KNEW that thread would keep them busy for a bit!
They hate (some) hawkish imperialist states but pacifism isn't allowed eitherβ½
When AskLemmy.ml enforces its "no politics" rule, maybe we can finally see a socialist authority
Tankies jihadist stance is so strange. True chicken behaviour πͺ π
Is Rule 1 basically rule 34?

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. β Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech β You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia β (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 β 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 β 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.
