    +1 for Hexbear, check it out if .world is too liberal for you. This place really feels like reddit, but somehow even more Dem apologist

        You have a🔻in your username. That makes you a “tankie” to a huge portion of the people who hate communists, too. We’re both going to get sent to the same camps.

                  Honestly I don’t think this person is saying Hamas is genocidal. I think he’s very confused and is really insistent that tankies love genocide, so he was trying to like, pre-move me. But as far as I can tell the implied genocidal regime he’s opposed to is China, not Hamas. Obviously that opens a whole other can of worms but he won’t reply to my last comment.

                    “Fuck all genocidal regiems. Does that need to be said explicitly?” as a reply to “Wait, you don’t support Hamas?” definitely sounded like calling Hamas genocidal, as did doubling down by putting “all” in bold after you tried to get him to agree Hamas was cool. China only came up later in the thread, as far as I can tell.

                    But if he doesn’t think that, he can easily clarify.

                Well yeah it does, you’re on lemmy.world which sometimes has a lot of Zionist apologia. In most online political spaces, the🔻symbol is a reference to videos from Hamas where they would overlay a similar red triangle over an Israeli soldier/tank/military target before it gets hit.

                I guess it’s still germane to my point, though. If you do think Hamas is cool because you hate the genocidal regime of Israel, that makes you a “tankie” or at least comparable to one in the eyes of most anticommunists. Functionally, the people who actually will fight “tankies” (as in communists) area also the people who will put you in a camp for being anti-zionist or having other left wing positions.

                    That’s ok, forget the red triangle. That’s fine. I’m saying that you’re loudly voicing your opposition to “tankies” but if you despise all genocidal regimes you are a tankie yourself.
