    One of the main reasons I’ve switched over to feddit.de. Hope more instances have the sense to block servers that are openly pro-imperialism and pro-totalitarianism.

        If they’re interested in having good-faith discussions, sure.

            Because they don’t engage in good faith. Right and ‘left’ fascists don’t value truth as anything more than a tool.

            That’s why it’s so easy for them to switch from (say) genocide denial on the issue of China and its genocide of populations in Xinjiang, Tibet, Outer Mongolia, and throughout the (Artificial and Imperialist) borders of the state.

            Because they will often come into a conversation knowing full well that what’s happening is a genocide. But since their objective isn’t to reach truth, their argumentation doesn’t reflect the things they know.

            It’s one of the recurring traits of Fascism- Disdain for reality. The way this trait is shared by reactionary authoritarians like those who run the Chinese state is quite telling about the nature of these ‘left’ authoritarian ideologies.

            The ‘left’ is in quotes here because these groups are something-phobic, socially reactionary and abusive as often as not.

              You took the words out of my mouths. Authoritarians are a waste of air and should be treated as such.

        Why are you including me in your response to him? Did I say anything about blocking?
