Go for it

I’m not looking to insult anybody for their nationality. I’m just wondering if the double standard reserved for russian (insults against the rules) are now going to be applied for all americans too

Same goes for pretty much every country. You should rise up and fight your government who is beating and arresting climate activists.

You tell me.

If it’s ok for russians then it’s ok for germans, indians, ukrainians and every other nation. If not, it’s not ok for everyone including russians.

There are many “rude” armies in the world. Is it ok to insult all people from india because member of the indian army raped someone?

Such as? Is pointing out violation of the rules and hypocrisy a russian point?

This thread refers to another in which same users went as far as trying to provide scientific evidence that all russians are bad.

So am i allowed to insult all Turks in general because their president is a fascist?

Top comment is from fedia.io, there are other comments insulting russians from difference instances including lemmy.world

Top comment is from fedia.io, they are insulting both the country and Russians.

Their instance policies state:

“Hate speech and abusive or threatening behavior is not permitted, specifically that which directed at any gender, nationality, religion, race, age, pizza topping preference, or sexual identity. One can hate on systemd all day long here.”

The rebels had arrested and silenced the Communists in their area, and they were led by a fascist.

Who did they arrest and why? Who led the Bolsheviks? How was the rebellion suppressed?

You’re suggesting that

I’m suggesting you that executing anarchists as bandits without trial or hearing is far from being heroic

The Communists fought against the Black Guards, a millitant organization that was anti-bolshevik, after the Cheka believed them to be planning a major strike against the Communists. These were not simply random, innocent Anarchists reading theory and making tea, but a millitant organization opposed to the Communists in the middle of a Civil War.

“Tenth Congress of the Russian Communist Party, in April, 1921, at which Lenin declared open and merciless war not only against Anarchists but against “all petty bourgeois Anarchist and Anarcho-Syndicalist tendencies wherever found. It was then and there that began the systematic, organised, and most ruthless extirmination of Anarchists in Bolshevik-ruled Russia. On the very day of the Lenin speech scores of Anarchists, Anarcho-Syndicalists, and their sympathisers were arrested in Moscow and Petrograd”

For clarity, this implies you would have supported the fascist-led rebellion in the middle of a Civil War, while Russia was being invaded by a dozen Capitalist nations. I hope I am misinterpreting your words here.

All i said is that i wouldn’t consider heroic lenin involvement in the Kronstadt rebellion which was suppressed with blood. You praising repressive methods that resemble that of fascists has bigger implications if you ask me.

The subset of Anarchists that decided to fight the world’s first Socialist State, rather than join the other Anarchists in supporting it, were certainly not innocent

Some of them were fighting against a government that engaged “anarchists” in this fashion: “the Communist Government attacked, without provocation or warning, the Anarchist Club of Moscow and by the use of machine guns and artillery “liquidated” the whole organisation”

You claim Lenin to be your hero from history so i asked your thoughts on his involvement in the Kronstadt rebellion which was suppressed with blood. It’s the first example that came to my mind of one of his shady actions that i personally wouldn’t consider heroic.
