Honestly that just seems like people reading too much into things

That's what this whole thing has been, beginning to end. Sometimes deliberately so.

It's not ok to wish death on people. It is ok to wish for the downfall of oppressive organisations. Some people believe the latter is only achievable through the former, and use "motte and bailey" ambiguity to say the latter but mean the former.

That line is the point of disagreement, and because I do disagree, people used the often deliberate ambiguity to paint me as ignorant.

The truth is, it doesn't matter what I said, because that ambiguity (by design) makes it impossible to navigate without meaning getting lost. And because of the nature of hexbear, as soon as I was seen as even implicitly "defending NATO", it was open season
