On lemmy.world I posted a comment on how liberals use ‘tankie’ as an invective to shut down dialogue and received tons of hateful replies. I tried to respond in a rational way to each. Someone’s said ‘get educated’ I responded ‘Im reading Norman Finkelstein’s I’ll burn that bridge when I get there’ and tried to keep it civil.
They deleted every comment I made and banned me. Proving my point, they just want to shut down dialogue. Freedom of speech doesn’t existing in those ‘totalitarian’ countries right? But in our ‘enlightened’ western countries we just delete you.
Oh I think there are a lot of people who get called woke and are right. Your rhetorical trap is not reality, its trying to get me to say something which confirms your prejustices.
Remember, my claim, forwhich you guys are fighting me here was “tankie” has other than “someone I don’t like”
You attacked me verbally for saying that, and then realized, that you can’t win this argument, cause in reality you agree with me so you try to shift the battlefield to a discussion you can win (and kept pressing really hard with your Hungarian Nazis ^^)
That’s your rhetorical strategy, it has nothing to do with reality ;)
It was you who insisted that t***** was only targeted at people who wanted to send tanks into hungary to crush the nazi uprising.
I never talked about Hungary or Nazis (at least not before you guys insisted on that topic because that’s a fight u practised)
My talking point was, and still is, "tankie doesn’t mean " people I don’t like " in my part of the world and most online debates. Sure there are people who use it this way, but they are far from the majority in my experience.
Even after I told you why I am here, you keep on building more stawmans to entertain me. Very nice of u ^^
Liar.
Nazi enabler.
