I got banned from a sub for saying a video of a russian soldier shooting himself five feet from his troop was sad. I dont like Russia right now, but that is still sad and fucked.

The removal of a Russian army function is not sad, but the death and suicide of a human being is very sad. If the person saw desertion as an exit strategy, they might have saved and turned their life around, but there probably were reasons that they didn’t see that as viable or desirable.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They were like laying there all half dead already. It was just a video of the end of a life we don’t know.
kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have seen that video, I do understand your feelings

With all the bad transphobic takes I’ve seen on this platform in the past couple of days, I think there’s a real need for gender studies
BeneGesseritWitch@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I noticed this too, did we get raided by terfs or something?
Kalkaline@leminal.space 11 months ago
Whoever says Hamas and the IDF are the good guys must love the mass killing of civilians happening right now.
bigFab@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Still have never encountered nobody literally saying ‘Hamas are the good guys’. But I guess any purely causal pondering on understanding what takes a human being into joining terrorist ranks is banned in this society. I don’t wanna understand, just bomb it flat.
jmdatcs@lemmy.tf 11 months ago
That’s because your instance defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad.

Saying Hamas are the good guys is an opinion, albeit a shitty one.
Saying gender studies aren’t studies is just factually wrong.
Pretty easy to see why one would be treated differently from the other even if most people won’t agree with the first
balderdash9@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Even if they’re both wrong, aren’t they also both opinions? People can have (an express) opinions that are factually wrong. I think the community should just downvote those kinds of posts instead of them being removed by mods.
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
An opinion that is just a factually wrong idea isn’t an opinion, it’s just a false belief that something is true
Actual untruths should be removed by mods, they only serve to trick the uninformed into believing false shit. Down votes mean very little, many times someone who’s 100% factually right gets down voted because the community just doesn’t like what was said

Can you please provide urls to posts saying hamas are good guys?
pensivepangolin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Anyone saying they’re the bad guys is armchair quarterback-ing a people’s fight against annihilation.
If YOUR people lived in a militarily patrolled, constantly surveilled, walled off piece of your former homeland, from which you couldn’t leave to go visit a hospital without your oppressor’s army’s approval, and that same army tried to calculate food rations to keep you only just above starvation to keep you passive, and could arrest without cause and indefinitely hold you….would you really say that a group of your people were wrong for lashing out? Now on top of that, the civilian populace can be given permission by that same government to take arms and evict you and your family from your ancestral home. Are you wrong for lashing out?
What a fucking joke.
bytheway@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Raping women and little girls isn’t “lashing out” or “taking arms”. Neither is murdering children. Israel’s treatment of Palestinians has been, and still is, abhorrent. But let’s not pretend that rape and child murder are a necessary part of struggle against oppression. Hamas aren’t the only bad guys, but they’re definitely bad guys.
Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 11 months ago
lashing out
This is soft selling war crimes. Shame on you.
Maeve@kbin.social 11 months ago
That’s a whole other discussion, but what are the Palestinian people to do under an illegal occupation that aims for genocide? That said, Palestinians are not Hamas, and Israel did a lot to support Hamas to thwart the Palestinian Authority. The history is long and complicated, but I just asked for links, since I have not seen those posts.
bartolomeo@suppo.fi 11 months ago
Right. Why not peacefully protest? I’m pretty sure that the desperation needed to throw a rock at a tank is incomprehensible to entitled Americans who have never missed a meal out of necessity. There is very little real support for the Palestinian genocide, but a strong false narrative. This article has some descriptions of the day to day struggle of Palestinians living under apartheid.

I got into a huge argument with that fuck, ended up blocking them because I just couldn’t deal with the sheer Hamas ball gargling/anti-Semitism/general racism they espoused. That user is not a good faith arguer, they’ll shout racist bullshit and then call you racist for calling them out.
Maeve@kbin.social 11 months ago
One post, and refer to my “what are Palestinians to do” comment.
Thanks for the link.
lay@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
What is the connection between saying Hamas are right at defending their country and this gender identity study shit, you’re clearly missing something .
Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I haven’t looked at the lgbt spaces on Lemmy. Are they as bad as Reddit was?
Where people don’t understand what a definition is and say everyone is whatever they feel like that particular Tuesday?
I left so many spaces when they got taken over by people who just wanted to collect labels without understanding what they meant, and instead just morphing labels to mean whatever they wanted.
anarchy79@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Gender anything is navel gazing masturbation, and I’m fucking tired of hearing about it.
poplargrove@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So if we arent open to understanding something as important to being human as gender, why not toss out all other fields that study human social lives. Bye to anthropology, sociology, etc.
768@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Fight hamas, fight gender, so fund gender studies.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
fight gender
But I like gender. Some of my best friends are gendered.
Fester@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Which of the following best describes your gender:
- male gender
- female gender
- fight gender
768@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Gender studies might help us understand why and how though. I’m trans myself, but I do not like gender. Most of the time, gender is not actually what we’re talking about. I try to replace gender with ability, recognition, variance etc. whenever possible and not erasing.

The moderation of Lemmy is equal parts inconsistent and arbitrary. That said, it’s all unpaid volunteer work so you gotta cut em a little slack.
ignotum@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The moderation on any platform is inconsistent and arbitrary, it’s done by humans after all
with lemmy it’s at least driven by volunteers as you say, and we have the option to switch or create our own community/instance if we don’t like the moderation 👍
