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.

    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.

    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.
