Yes, exactly, allowing Zionists in your platform is bad

"I was just obeying the German laws" was not a credible defense in the Nürnberg trials, why are you repeating the same logic as the Nazis?

The shitty mindset of checks notes not wanting Zionist fascists in a queer-friendly online space.

This solidifies my decision for migrating my account from there to piefed.social

but I also don’t actively participate in deep political discussions especially regarding Israel/Palestine

Showing your true colours here. By the way, it's not "political discussions regarding Israel/Palestine", call it by its name: genocide of Palestinians by Israel.

I don't particularly love db0 as a mainly hexbear user, but this is ridiculous. They did an absolutely gorgeous move by democratically voting to defed from Zionist instances, and you call that authoritarian. Defense against fascists is not authoritarian, it's literally the opposite.

Europe has explicitly no problem with this. They showed they have the power to censor Russian media but refuse to do this with European far-right, they just want the local fascists to win.

Extreme non violence is actually very bad because it enables the extremely violent to exert their violence. The greens need a certain degree of violence to keep the oranges from murdering everyone.

Source: my homeland suffered through 36 years of fascism because the left in government didn't execute the fascists soon enough and the latter started a civil war which they ended up winning.

Anarchists massacre themselves more than communists massacre them by enabling fascists in power, see my homeland Spain in the Spanish civil war. I wish we had had communists instead of Anarchists...

Only there's no greenish party, there's only orange and 99% orange 1% green, and the orange-greenist is a 99 year old person running 99% orange policy to appeal to moderate oranges

EU politics: "2+2 = austerity policy, 2+3 = austerity policy, 2-2 = austerity policy..."

Tl;Dr: "ideology is tribal bullshit!" I repeat to the fascist militarized police as they force me to dig a grave at gunpoint

Least politically educated comment I've seen all week, and that's saying a lot. "Ideology is bullshit" no it's not. Being able to rally together behind common ideals, with common concrete goals and concrete policies to achieve such goals is actually a good thing. "I have no ideology" is not what saved Europe from fascism in WW2, and you're not going to convince fascists not to shoot trans people just by telling them "give up your ideology".

Political ideologies should be discussed extensively, and they consistently are, it's literally the reason why leftist infighting is a thing. It's precisely the "apolitical centrists" who enable all the horrors of capitalism, saying "I have no ideology" is simply synonym with "I don't care if things remain as they are", and in the face of fascism and ecological disaster this is a horrible idea.
