Hah I’m in that screenshot. I just caught my second ban for suggesting that mass deportation of children might qualify as genocide.
It’s infuriating, because if you talk to actual survivors of genocide, they use words like “vigilance” and “never again.” Meanwhile, tankies literally just want to gatekeep the word to protect their ability to simp for tyrants.
Mass deportation of children is literally (one of) the dictionary definitions of genocide.
Not if done by Communists. According to tankies.
Not if done by anti-west authoritarian dictatorships. Russia isn’t communist.
Power to you. I feel like whenever I say anything trying to inject some form of “genocide is bad” into one of their conversations, I get about 20 comments telling me I’m a removedty person for saying that. Or like, a copy and pasted book that they want me to read and then I’ll understand why genocide is “justified.”
It’s removeded.
So yeah, thanks for your effort, you aren’t alone 😅
They don’t seem to understand that genocide, as a term, does not exclusively mean a violent purge nor Holocaust. The erasure of a group of people can happen with minimal violence too.
It’s hardly surprising though, considering the USSR regularly practiced genocide with “Russification”. This wasn’t so much the violent kind, but more trying to erase a people’s culture and make them assimilate into Russia’s.
To tankies, that’s not genocide, even though it is erasing a culture to impose your own.

Your removed post does talk about genocide, but it also talks removed about Hexbear users. Which I get, I won’t join instances that federate with them, but it’s not exactly comporting with their Rule 2 of “Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.”
Like to some extent yeah, tankies kind of provoke it because apologia for oppressive regimes actively invading their neighbors is itself offensive, but you’re conveniently spinning this to be about genocide rather than the aspect of the comment that would run risks of removal in most communities trying to not foster flame wars. And since you’ve been banned before, it’s hard to believe this isn’t your first time doing it.
