I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’
I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?
Tankie was initially someone who didn’t have an issue with running over protestors in a tank in support of their beliefs, and has grown to include anyone willing to use violent means in support of communist ideals.
Current examples include supporting Russia or blaming Ukraine for the conflict, or supporting China invading Taiwan.
I don’t think it has grown to include that (or I don’t think it should have grown, if it actually has and I didn’t notice).
Any revolution will require violent means. That doesn’t inherently make it bad, just sad. It depends who is the target of the violence.
There aren’t many Americans who condemn the American revolution for it’s violence against the British, for example.
You can have non violent revolutions.
