I had the exact opposite experience in .ml for slightly criticizing communism and got site-banned by an admin right after the lynching. I’ve been criticizing the right in .world for two and a half years without a problem. Not a single comment taken down or a single ban for it. I don’t know where .mls who criticize .world get that from, but judging by the awful and overwhelmingly terrible attitudes I see from .mls I can see why they’re often complaining.
You haven’t had a problem because your politics align with .world - it’s a good match. You’re allowed criticism within a set of safe boundaries that do not challenge power. If you start talking about not voting for Democrats, though, they get a lot more hostile.
Not really? My politics align with the ones in my country. Our right wingers are essentially Democrats, and I didn’t vote for those. I also support criticism of the Democrats for being spineless and complicit, for example.
What I’ve noticed, though, is that the “challenging of power” as it often manifests is misrepresenting things like their role of Democrats in the Palestinian genocide. They’re usually in the form of uncompromising shrieks, calling everyone in the vicinity a Nazi.
No, that’s exactly where things break down, because I’m not saying any of those things but some people here, especially .mls, always bring it up as if it’s some new thought.
I’m saying they are complicit, but they are not the ones firing the guns. They are enablers. I’m not lifting any blame because they have blood on their hands, but I also don’t like exaggerating.
And what’s more, it’s that a lot of these same people somehow blame Biden frequently and incessantly, even though Trump’s administration is doing exactly the same.
Fascinating. You realize no one thinks this way, right? There’s a reason for that.
If you facilitate the murder weapon and then protect the murderer from consequences so they can keep killing, you are just as guilty of murder as if you held the gun yourself. That’s how felony murder charges work. If there’s a shootout during a robbery and someone dies, the getaway driver still gets a murder charge despite not holding one of the guns. Where’s the exaggeration?

Democrats have a really important role in supporting the Palestinian genocide, what are you even talking about?
Do you think Biden was actually working tirelessly for a ceasefire? Come on. It’s a bipartisan project!

Would you say the same thing about Republicans and Trump? They’re not the ones firing the guns either.
Absolutely. I don’t understand this trend of overstating or exaggerating. There’s no need when they’ve done enough as it is.
Same goes for other things, like lying about the harms of meat when advocating for vegetarianism. There’s plenty to point out without the need to lie.
