anticommunists try not to use the R-slur challenge; difficulty level: barely managing

the same Stalin who executed Queers and Jews

Even at its most homophobic, the USSR never had a death penalty for being gay, and the only person who was executed in the Doctors' Plot was the guy who fabricated the claims against the Jewish doctors. If they actually cared, they could have taken 30 seconds to confirm this with even liberal sources before they started saying bullshit, but...

A claim like “There’s cultural genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang” is simply unreal to most Westerners, close to pure gibberish. The words really refer to existing entities and geographies, but Westerners aren’t familiar with them. The actual content of the utterance as it spills out is no more complex or nuanced than “China Bad,” and the elementary mistakes people make when they write out statements of “solidarity” make that much clear. This is not a complaint that these people have not studied China enough — there’s no reason to expect them to study China, and retrospectively I think to some extent it was a mistake to personally have spent so much time trying to teach them. It’s instead an acknowledgment that they are eagerly wielding the accusation like a club, that they are in reality unconcerned with its truth-content, because it serves a social purpose.

- what do you mean by this?

This would have been after '53, right? Like, Stalin wasn't responsible for that shit (we have testimony he was against the conspiracy theory), but let's not act like he thwarted it either.
Were the deaths that precipitated it really just bad luck? I guess that would bolster the theory that it was promoted by the opposition bloc to successfully keep Stalin from having easy access to medical aid.
People who talk about politics under Stalin really neglect how complicated it is and how, to assert something is true, that has implications for many other situations and motivations like a logic circuit changing values down the line.
The same folks that cry big crocodile tears for all the dead gay jewish Soviets that Stalin crushed to death with his big spoon will plug their ears and scream "Whataboutism!" at you if you talk about the time the British government castrated Alan Turing.

only a slightly less pathetic version of that /r/ShitHexbearSays sub that popped up a while back that had like one active account
he's the last bulwark against the encroaching bolshevik hordes
Lemmygrad passed the torch on to you bears when y'all federated.
It's one community as opposed to a whole instance, and you sometimes see other people post there, but otherwise yes.

They gotta keep mentioning you're a lesbian trans jew so that the audience knows how fuckin cool you are

Half of Palestine is more accepting of gay marriage than 100% of "Israel"

The West Bank has the same legal status as "Israel". Homosexuality is legal, gay marriage is not.
- Damn... there's egg all over my face

They definitely say the word "Jew" with italics irl.

You can hear the parentheses.
These are the people calling us antisemites

niche
uhm we actually got mentioned in that one report thingy (someone link it pls)

Is claiming Muslims will behead you for any crime an islamophobic trope or something?

'cos I looked it up and the penalty in Gaza for homosexuality is, like, ten years imprisonment not death (which is still incredibly shitty but I think Goat is trying to draw comparisons to, like, ISIS beheadings and shit where the only connection is religion and that feels incredibly sus).

It's something all islamophobes do, every muslim majority country whether it's in africa, the middle east or asia is run by ISIS in their minds, the whole of islam is an unthinking murderous blob.

I'm also curious at the need to camel case "Lesbian Trans Jew". Its got the same energy as the talk radio dorks who would emphasize "Barack HUSSEIN Obama" any time they mentioned the guy.
It's basically a requirement for establishing their logical rational sane hierarchical position over their too-strong-yet-too-weak enemies.
Holding the contrary belief that Facts, Logic, Reason means there is only one rational answer to any political question and belief that reflexive contrarianism makes you smart must be hella taxing for some people.

Funny that they make a post accusing someone of posting something racist, as they're posting in a community with a really shitty racist stereotype as it's icon.

You'd think they'd get brainwashed by constantly scrolling through our drivel 😒
- We're liberals
Be grateful, they're the only thing holding the left back from destroying your family!

They're also a thin skinned toddler lmao.

I called them an idiot to which they replied by copy pasting a comment from my profile that didn't follow at all then immediately edited to be some nonsense concern trolling about "standing against hate". I called them out for that to which they replied doubling down. I then got banned 10 minutes later for " spam" when they realized they were just proving my point.
