You’re in no position to criticize my post if you didn’t engage with it’s content, i.e. the article. You continue to refuse reading it and throw around baseless campist accusations, instead (e.g. that this was the first time I’d be in open solidarity with leftist protestors in Iran). Instead of listening to leftists in Iran, you accuse anyone who dares to mention that Iran isn’t an egalitarian paradise as an Israeli asset.

You can tell yourself whatever you want: If you were seriously trying to engage in a good-faith argument, you did a horrible job at doing so.

stop acting as if you’re reasonable, if you can’t even read a fucking article by leftists, just because they don’t pass your socialist™️ purity test.

EDIT:

Look, it’s even talking about the likes of you.

So, are you claiming that there weren’t protests going on and those weren’t answered with massive repression? Were’s the exaggeration? Where’s the fabrication? The original post was stating that everything’s fine in Iran, while massive protests were going on (which you acknowledged yourself)

And why are you afraid to read the article if it’s not because you’re not interested in engaging in anything that contradicts your already made-up mind?

That’s my reason, you got defensive and started insulting me

I started insulting you, because you were trolling (and frankly - never stopped). Tellme where you are from so that I can insult you for things out of your control.

So no reason at all, since (as I’ve pointed out several times now) you don’t know what the article I shared actually contains.

I’m very willing to have a normal converation, given that the other person isn’t a bad-faith troll.

Also: what does that have anything to do with being German? I thought there was a reason why you’re treating me like Friedrich Fudking Merz.

So, what exactly makes you think that I’m pro Israeli genocide or pro war with Russia, if not your rampant urge to put strangers into boxes to satisfy your hate-boner?

Even after finding out that I consider myself an anarchist (who are famous for being war-mongers and genocide-lovers /s).

Yes, I’m telling you that you’re spreading imperialist propaganda

How would you know? You haven’t read what I shared.

but after browsing through your profile and seeing that you’re a German “Anarchist”, I’ve decided to give up.

So much for “trying to have a polite conversation”.

You just want to project whatever weird excuse to make you feel superior to me. First it was by claiming that something I posted was propaganda (without reading it). Now it’s assuming my political view on European imperialism and genocide, basedon where I happen to live.

Your country will not have a meaningful anticapitalist movement until you start treating the Soviet Union as the heroes who saved your asses from Nazism.

Wow, what a very materialist analysis from you. I’ve accepted daddy Stalin as my personal savior. /s

God, you fucking ML cultists are aggravating. 🙄

You’ve inserted yourself into a discussion that’s 2.5 weeks old to tell meh that I’m “spreading imperialist propaganda” when I was complaining about an unjust and arbitrary ban for sharing an article with a leftist analysis about the protests in Iran, which you refuse to read.

Then, you’re needlessly contrarian, making bold claims that I’ve never before supported Iranian protests and implicitly demanding useless proof.

Read the fucking article, before you make claims about it, you fucking campist troll.

No, you’re not. You’re needlessly contrarian and an annoying campist.

Removed by mod

You linked a wikipedia article, did you write it yourself?

You said that now is the first time I’d be interested in iranian protests. The article describes a time when I showed solidarity for iranian protest movements before.

Maybe because the US+EU imposed a sanction regime on Iran that has destroyed the national currency’s exchange value and massively impoverished the vast majority of the population?

Yes. The article mentions (and condemns) this, as well. Read the fucking article, you troll.

but I would bet 100€ that if we go 1 year back on any of your social media, you have never made this criticism before

You’d lose that bet. as I said: that’s a bunch of assumptions you just *make about strangers on the internet.

Why now particularly,

Because there are protests in Iran right now. Read the fucking article, if you want to know “why now”. It wasn’t because I thought "hmm, the US could use another invasion right now.

Clue: it’s because the imperial propaganda apparatus has decided that discussing the repression in Iran right now is the agenda, as part of a larger atrocity propaganda campaign.

Yeah, it’s definetly not because of the protests in Iran. Those are completely not happening. /s

Ich, wenn ich zwei Schoko-Eis am Stiel will: “Nogger Nogger”

How does that apply to the crimethinc article?

Edit:
So, tell me if I got that right: You maynever criticize an enemy government of the US, or you’d be spreading “imperialist propaganda”. No matter how valid the criticism is. Otherwise, you’re enabling the US to invade.

… I didn’t know the pentagon listened to randos on lemmy. /s

You promote imperial propaganda by giving voice to opposition

What? How is citing lefitist protestors “imperialist propaganda”? Spare me your campist drivel.

The only reason why you happen to care about Iranian protestors is because of the constant western-manufactured atrocity propaganda

That’s a lot of assumptions you make about strangers on the internet, homie.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Looking at your comment history: YDI.

If you think that engaging with blahaj is “harmful” anyways, then this shouldn’t be too bad for you.

Not sure if short-sighted critique of anarchists or valid critique of Engels.

Come again if you want to actually engage with ideas foreign to you.

Liberal democracy is not the singularity of politicso

So, add a recall election mechanism and let everything else play out the same?

No, that’s not what I said. I want to abolish rulers completely.

Council democracy isn’t based on electoral parliament, but on general assemblies.

A council democracy, for example. Or a federated commune of communes.
