          I’m not saying I think this is the end of leftism as we know it or anything. I’m just appreciating the bar fight I guess.

          It hasn’t been a friendly thread.

              I mean they just shared a meme from an instance you aren’t federated with and quickly had like 20 people trying to demand complex conversations about history with them.

              A lot of the complaints directed at them would be better served directed at whoever made the meme.

                Maybe don’t share history memes you don’t even remotely understand that vilify people whose perspective you don’t remotely understand? Dude has received some real softball questions and whiffed.

                But OP doesn’t give a shit, his ideology is “Dae tabkies bad” and the actual historical claims are secondary.

                  This is literally their instance IMO they don’t really owe anyone anything here.

                  Bad takes are allowed within the privacy of one’s own home.

                    If someone writes as many replies (and as long of replies) as OP, they don’t get to pull the “I don’t owe you an explanation” card. They’ve already put in the time; writing 10,000 words and refusing to address hard questions in any of them just means you don’t have good answers.

                    I like the instance despite not being on it and have no particular disagreement with these people, but I was was forced to see a fedpost and their defenders here. This is neither his home nor private.

                    edit: He’s the mod lol.

                    “Look, it’s his instance, he can do blood libel if he wants”

                    I don’t give a shit what he can do, the question is what he should do. Spouting heinous lies uncritically is bad in any social setting.
