      Lemmy’s defense of Hamas/Hezbollah is unreal sometimes. I made a joke about terrorists getting their dicks blown off by a pager and was perma-banned for “endorsing the killing of children”

          The hell ya taking about? Liberals are center, they go along with anybody as long as you “compromise”. I personally find it hilarious that both the right and left complain about liberals being in bed with the other side.

          And tankies aren’t really left for the same reason nazis (national SOCIALIST) aren’t really left. Wonder how it came to be that nazis are the face of extreme right and tankies are the face of extreme left, despite them both being totalitarian fascists. In Germany the nazis were literally stealing the communist vote, they’re building on the same appeal. The idealogy of “we’re more deserving of life, because…” doesn’t really care about the because part. Left/right politics are irrelevant in the face of totality.

          Is it though? Seems like there’s a lot of support for religious zealots (Iran & proxies) and imperialist authoritarians (Russia). Seems pretty auth-right.

            It seems is key here. Lemmy is so left leaning that any case of such support is straight up glaring. Same even with more neutral things like patriotism - each time it’s out there, because it’s so different from the rest.

            And then there’s few instances which flip it on the head from what I know…

          No, they’re saying you can’t guarantee who has a pager at any given time, which might include children. And it did include children. Who died.
