      You didn’t politely disagree. He asked a direct question to which you earlier said to know the answer to.

      What you kept repeating was not an answer to said question, and then you started playing stupid games against someone who’s shown time again to have no patience for them.

          He’s nice when you agree and most his opinions are decent so you tend to agree a lot. But he tends to start acting weird/hostile when you have a disagreement.

          I really appreciate his contributions to lemmy while thinking maybe he isn’t the best person to moderate a political community.

        It was a message I accidentally submitted before I had finished writing, then deleted so that I could continue to write it, but by the time I finished it, I was already banned. It was something along the lines of “I don’t really think you’re arguing in good faith here, because as you said, you “knew” before even starting this conversation that I wouldn’t have any practical ideas”, or something along those lines. If there’s any way to un-delete it I’d be happy to do that, if you know how I can? Or somehow recover the original text?

        Edit: Never mind, figured out how to undelete it. Original comment is restored. I accidentally submitted just that fragment instead of a longer message I had intended on replying with.

    Based. Get wrecked Zionist troll.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkwashing_(LGBT)

    Origin of the term

    In April 2010, Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism (QUIT) in the Bay Area, used the phrase pinkwashing as a twist on greenwashing, a practice where companies claim to be eco-friendly in order to make profit. Dunya Alwan was at a talk with Ali Abunimah, editor of Electronic Intifada in 2010, when he said “We won’t put up with Israel whitewashing or greenwashing” and she thought “or pinkwashing!”

    In 2011, Sarah Schulman used the term pinkwashing in a widely read The New York Times editorial arguing that Israel used the tactic in its public relations. Schulman saw pinkwashing as a manifestation of homonationalism, the processes by which some powers selectively agree with the claims of sexual minorities and exploit them to justify racism, xenophobia (rejection of foreign people), and aporophobia (rejection of the poor);

      Thanks for the definition. So basically they got banned for “pretending” to support LGBQ? That’s definitely interesting coming from a tankie.

      Also, why are you posting to world news@Lemmy.ml? I think we have established that it is not a good community

          Probably in relation to the blue maga name calling. Many of the low intelligence or high self radicalization people rely on as a crutch. Any time someone points out the vitriolic and illogical parts of their rhetoric. Ole Linky seems to be banned from most the communities I visit. Or at least don’t post there anymore. Kinda had forgotten about them honestly. But linky was definitely the one to say things like that.

      Just because Israel is using this for propaganda, doesnt mean that it isnt true(or important). The USSR used american racism against black people for propaganda but that doesnt mean that there was no racism in the US or that racism wasnt important(or relevant to the discussion between 2 global powers).

      When someone tells you “gay people should be killed”, i think it is relevant to the discussion you have about that person.

        Resistance to genocide is the only moral position. That’s why it is so repugnant that you want more genocide in Gaza, more killing in Ukraine, and pogroms in Ohio.

      Your statement is akin to saying the Allies in WW2 were no heroes. In fact they were also the bad guys because they were racist and homophobic. Thus WW2 was a “complex and nuanced” issue.

      Seriously. There are also people on Lemmy that think anyone who has sympathy for civilians also support terrorists.

      How absolutely fucking brain-dead do you have to be to not understand that killing civilians is wrong? You can hate the rulers of Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah while simultaneously hoping that Israeli, Palestinian, and Lebanese civilians don’t get hurt.

      This isn’t rocket science.

      Yeah and they also forget that something evil can have elements or components that arent evil. You wont kill every employee of a company because the ceo is evil. You wont kill every palestanian or israeli because the IDF and hamas are terrorist organizations.

      Reality is a team sport, to some people. The conservative worldview is defined by interpersonal loyalty. There is some rightful order to things, and it’s your job to justify and promote that, by stringing together argument-shaped sentences. They think that’s all anyone’s doing.

      And yes, I would call tankies conservatives. The word doesn’t refer to right-wing policies. It means “well somebody’s gotta be king.” They use leftist language, and absorb some leftist motivation, but any of it and all of it will go out the window for the social game of maintaining loyalty.
