Not entirely true, before the defederation I browsed their communities and I've seen casual threads about manga, recovery from Alcoholism, talking about insects... and everyone was polite there.
It's just that when it comes to politics they get EXTREMELY loud, and everything else is drown out.
I don't see why we should defederate from instances that don't speak English, if you don't want to see posts in other languages, change your settings and allow only English posts.
I followed the previous threads without participating, so let me just quickly say I'd rather we stay federated. I can see how some people might get really annoyed by their more vocal shitposters and political takes, but I think they're overall good.
I was sure it was gonna be ironic when they started comparing anarchists to fascists, but fun fact: no, they actually mean it.
Anarchists are fascists, everyone. You've heard it here first!
I swear, if there's something liberals hate more than what's on their right, it's what's on their left.
Poverty: Same thing for any people of any race the most important part is their ability to get an education that’ll get them out of it while having stability, slavery has nothing to do with it.
Whataboutism. Black people are poor exactly because they descend from slaves. When the slaves got freed, most of them were destined to poverty, and poverty is inherited under capitalism.
Australia: I live in Australia what are you talking about?!
About all the aboriginals that went through genocide, both physically and culturally, for about 200 years?
Of course schools teach in the language of the country they are in do you expect them to teach in 5 different languages?!
Yes, monolingual countries are mostly a thing only in the western world. Most of the world is multilingual, and it has been for most of human history. And there's a big difference between having a lingua franca and being dominated by a colonial language.
No, no, no and no.
Socialist != tankie.
And what do the USSR soldiers that fought 83 years ago have to do with the people spewing Kremlin propaganda today? Or Einstein for that matter?
You're responsible for your own actions, if you simp for a despot, you're a tankie. Hiding behind ideology doesn't make it okay.
