But I talked specifically about people justifying settler colonialism and genocide . Don’t make it about yourself
Banning discussion is stupid. It’s like burning books in libraries that you don’t agree with. Or defunding scientists because you don’t like the answers that the science provides.
Wrong analogy. Banning people advocating for invading Ukraine or israel colonizing Palestine is similar to banning nazis, racists and supermasists
But people seem to think I’m justifying genocide when I’m clearly not, I’m just agreeing with everything they say. And they ban ban ban. That is stupid, like burning books.
I 100% disagree with Russia invading Ukraine. It is horrific and stupid. But I would still be interested in talking with someone who supports it to try and understand where the hell they’re coming from. If they just buy into Russian propaganda or worse are clearly spreading it on purpose then there’s no useful conversation to be had, but if they genuinely believe it’s the right thing to do based n something that I don’t know about, I’d love to hear them out, and then presumably try to help them see where they are wrong.
I’m talking about myself because I have been banned from multiple Lemmy subs despite clearly not being one of those settler colonial apologists, but being accused of it for no reason other than I didn’t just blindly agree with everything.
And yes if people lie and ignore facts you can reasonably argue to ban them (I probably wouldn’t, but I understand).

Stop talking about yourself. There is settler colonialism apologists that run free on lemmy
Once you present them facts and evidence and they still repeat lies. They should be banned. Nothing justify settler colonialism
With your logic why not letting people calling for murder of any racist and supermasist comment and try to convince them that it is wrong?
