Genocide apologist

You clearly aren't.

Insert UK for America, but you get the idea.

So you're just Motte and Bailying from "the West doesn't censer criticism" to "our censership is justified! How can you expect Germany not to suppress critism of genocide, don't you know that they did the holocaust?"

which is why an uncensored internet is of value.

Great, tell me when you find one

And the Western World is helping them do it. Makes it clear that all the bleating about "liberal democracy" and "rules based international order" was always just a thin cover for the brutalisation of the global South

The American left tried very hard to get representation within the Democratic party, and the Democratic party pulled out all the stops to prevent it, in a way they would never do to oppose the Republicans, and that the Republicans would never do to oppose MAGA.

So basically you straight up admit you don't care about facts and won't listen to them

Democrats suck and are ineffectual at accomplishing their (generally decent) goals.

Genocide apologia

The elections over champ, you can stop screeching the same thing over and over again. Unless you're already gearing up to lose the next election too.

I mean we both know I’m talking about specific acts of political violence

Yes, which was my point. These definitions always have some implicit carve out exception to allow the kind of political violence that the person giving them agrees with to "not count".

To be clear what makes it authoritarian is when it’s the state/government/leadership that is using acts of violence against citizens with political ideas that would threaten their power.

This would include collecting taxes, enforcing national borders, enforcing private property, all gun control measures, suppressing domestic terrorists and militias, implementing a particular voting system and then enforcing the result, conscription, and indeed, enforcing the concept of "citizen" vs "non-citizens" in the first place. But, again, you've cut out an expectation for political violence you agree with already.

And tankies get the name specifically from either defending or denying that specifically the Soviet Union used violence to suppress attempts to leave their union.

And here's yet another post-hoc definition of tankie that does not actually line up with how anybody uses the term. Or are you willing for me to ping you to chime in every time someone calls me a tankie for something that has nothing to do with the USSR keeping Soviets in the union (incidently, there isn't a country on earth that will willing let parts of it leave.)

and hexbear has decided accusing people of being anti-trans is their move, but those are simply strawmen, and really poorly constructed ones at that.

Sounds like you're a transphobe who got called out.

Sounds like the desire to close it down wasn't real if the reasons it wasn't basically boil down to "we want to keep imprisoning people there"

Double genocide theory, including the lie that Stalin "killed more people than Hitler" is a form of Holocaust denial. Condemn Stalin all you like, but once you start repeating lies created by Nazis to downplay the Holocaust, you are holocaust denier
