It’s troubling “mean arab terrorist” had such experiences here. I would ask if this was on Lemmy or Lemmygrad?
“I have seen people refer to Chador and Hijab as “wearing trashbags””
This is insanely racist. This should not be tolerated.
“the Islamic Republic of Iran is “enslaving women””
We all have liberal tendencies here that we are in the process of purging however this western feminism should have been called out.
“I have seen people refer to Islam as “a painkiller” and that communists should “free [Muslims] from irrational immaterial thought” and make accusations that all Muslims engage in FGC”
I am unfamiliar with the term ‘FGC’, however the opiate of the masses critique is based. This is a long standing Marxist stance on religion. This should be allowed here.
“I was banned from the Palestine community for “being mean” to an israeli colonizer after I told them to expeditiously get out of Palestine.”
Blaming the individual is radlib however in the Israeli case I would tell them to join Palestine instead of trying to paint them as the entire country of Israel.
“I have had my comments censored and removed when discussing the liberation of Palestine From the River to the Sea and citing the revolutionary leaders from the resistance. The reasoning for censorship repeated the zionist entity language: “advocating terrorism”"
Not ok. We are against imperialist powers and projects.
“Throughout all of this I see invaders who live in the settler-colonies are defended as “comrades like everyone else”. Even though they are repeating toxic discourse about how such and such liberation movement “shouldn’t alienate the [colonizer] ‘workers’.””
It seems that this latest topic in it’s turbulent controversy was the last straw for you and I find it regretful that it has gotten this far considering 90% of what you experienced you shouldn’t have.
Take care and I wish you the best.
I was banned from there and called a western chauvinist denying national liberation for global southerners for questioning their source on the PSL being infiltrated by FBI elements, as the same source claimed that the DPRK was functionally a starving capitalist monarchy and China was imperialist. The comrade born in occupied Palestine was concerned over their calls to violently eliminate all Israeli settlers and politely asked how they could aid the Palestinian resistance without having to kill themselves. The individual banned this comrade for being a settler and denying Palestinian sovereignty, somehow, even though the comrade expressed incredible disdain for the Israeli settler project.
In my experience, the individual in question does not want dialogue, but they do want to preach to unquestioning ears. They do not want to help the western left understand, they want to destroy the western left, including the anti-imperialists who do not agree with mass suicide and random acts of terrorism.
My two cents, or more accurately my fuel on the fire as it were.
That’s what she struck me as as well. The thing that made me first see her like that was when she made a post linking this article by a virtually inactive third worldist org. The whole premise of the article and post was how third-worldist organizing can be done in the imperial core, but if you actually read the article no actual suggestions for action are made.
