yea because not accepting US propaganda and trying to uplift marginalized people and help workers not be trodded upon, is about the same as open fascism, bigotry and constant hate speech /s

It's just replaced with propaganda from nations that "tried" communism. I've seen plenty of people from tankie instances saying shit about how Ukraine should just roll over to Russia so that they solve their Nazi problem, how the Uyghur people aren't being ethnically cleansed, and other such wonderful talking points coming from the Russian and Chinese governments.

Claiming that you see these comments everywhere on lemmy, at the scale you see bigotry on Voat, is laughably preposterous. And that is aside the point that these comments are not even as bad as open fascism and hate speech.

Genocide denial and equating those fighting in a defensive war to Nazis is just as bad as hate speech. These people are just following fascist ideals, but replacing every instance of the phrase "right-wing" in fascism's definition with "left-wing." Flying a hammer and sickle doesn't make it any less authoritarian, regardless of what they're calling it.

I assure you it is not. One causes active harm to people in online communities and pushes the world toward normalizing fascist tactics, and the other is some terminally online tankie LARPing with no great effect to anything.

USA ignores the worst genocide ever commuted on the world, theirs, and nothing really changes. The rest of the world knows about it. Israel is committing one right now with the backing of the USA and it this denial is publicized everywhere, whereas hate speech is clearly banned.
