    The ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, and the admin (and creator of Lemmy) named themself after a genocidal warlord

          That doesn’t look like genocide to me because there was a credible threat to their freedom from the white people that benefited from slavery like the teachers, doctors, merchants etc. even if they personally didn’t own slaves there was a clear incentive for them to want to bring back slavery. Also notably white people that fought with them were spared, so it’s not just wantonly killing everyone who is white.

          And even if excessive (which I’m not conceding btw) I’m not gonna blame slaves that had just won their freedom for being overly paranoid and suspicious of the society that enslaved them. This is not like other massacres that are directed at oppressed people to exploit them or steal their land, this is the other way around, the oppressed making sure that there is no trace left of the society that oppressed them.

          Genocide, believe it or not, is always bad

          People who say this when the president is a democrat are called “tankies” by the pro-genocide center.

            No, Im pretty sure these people pretending to have innocent opinions are pro genocide because they are putting their egos ahead of pragmatism by pretending they don’t understand the immense harm done when they falsely equate both parties just because neither are left leaning.

            Also when they ignore that the only chance of having leftist policies come to life in America is through shifting a winning democrat party over multiple terms in a very boring and not fun at all way rather than a fictional grass roots uprising magically changing the USA, famous for its molasses slow politics, over night.

              “You’re pro-genocide because you’re not as pro-genocide as me!” -every last pro-genocide centrist.

                I’m not quite sure I can even begin to follow the logic there.

                There are 2 realistic options and people pretending there are 3 are choosing the worst of 2.

                  There are 0 options. The election is over and carrying water for the genocide wing of the party just ensures that it never changes.

                    The people partially responsible for its results saying anyone else is carrying water is insanity.

                    The mid terms are not too long from now (if remotely free elections will exist thanks partially to them), so the idea that it’s all over so let’s let all the marginalized people die because we weren’t happy enough letting all the gazans die is a hell of a take from the people saying they aren’t pro genocide.
