Basically, there was a discussion about how instances have rules and Feddit also needs to abide by local (Austrian) law to not get in legal trouble.
And I get called a Zionazi for saying that you cant just up and call for the massacre of civilians, regardless of which side you are on.
It’s also ironic for Dessalines to mock me for sticking to rules and laws to protect our instance.
Firstly, I am not the owner. I am a voluntary admin and I have had it with your strawmen and badjacketing. I don’t get why I constantly have to be on the defense just because you can’t get into your thick skull that I am not a Zionist and things arent as extremely black and white as you make them out to be. I don’t give a crap if you are anti-Zionist or Zionist. You misbehave on Feddit and can’t voice your opinion without bigotry, you face the consequences! You can’t not be toxic? Then shut the hell up! Calling toxic behavior “less than polite antifascist” is just bad antifascism. I have responsibilities as an admin and I try my best that I am fair to everybody and not just a specific interest group.
Sure, Feddit has a bunch of Zionists on it, because a lot of Germans are that way. Feddit.org is however a server originally intended for German speakers (and beyond) and not for specific political groups. We have rules and they count for everybody. You violate them, you bear the consequences.
That said, calling for the destruction of any country including Palestine, can be legally understood as a call for also the destruction of the country’s citizens. That’s why it is an issue.
The thing is that its easy to talk about being brave. Its another to actually.
Its easy to imagn being Rosa Parks. Its good to want to be like her. Its very hard to actually be and all the thankless negatives that come with it.
I agree, it is very hard to actually be the one to make change in the world and it is a very scary and hard thing to be like Rosa parks. Especially since the rest of society will try to Gaslight you and say you are evil for doing this stuff. I wouldn’t blame someone for staying quiet and trying to avoid problems.
That said I would and will blame people for doing the opposite and trying to be Sam Ervin, if we’re going to use the Rosa parks analogy, as he used his power to promote and justify the evil out of a desire to conform and keep things the same. This is not excusable, because it causes the same amount of harm as promoting the harmful ideas with the intent to cause harm. It is my opinion that instead of being quiet or trying to avoid problems, OP is taking the Sam Ervin route so to speak.
