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.
For real, they complain about “authoritarian tankies and their echo chambers” when we’re not even censoring them like they do to us, they just can’t handle being shown to be wrong.
You can’t be an echo chamber because others are worse, that’s your argument?
I have not been shown wrong, under this post I was agressivly told “that tankie means everyone you don’t agree with”, that “everyone who uses the word tankie is a lib and therefore wrong.” Execept you call yourself one, then you get cherished and upvoted) , and it was implied, that I love Nazis if I don’t agree with the people here.
Lots of people made lots of claims, but there wasn’t anything shown let alone proven.
That’s no discussion culture, that’s a “have my opinion or get out” culture.
Just admit that you didn’t know about the nazis in hungary, and you can still get out without being called a nazi enabler
