Someone give me a long list of communities to join and which ones to avoid. I don’t wanna be near the tankies. Thank you!

I don't support Israel in Gaza, what gave you that impression? Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?

I'm opposed to all inter-capitalist wars tyvm.

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Good, so we agree that Russia is in the wrong, and should not have invaded? Then we're not in agreement with the slice of hexbear I've interacted with.

being anti war is not an uncommon opinion, just shows how little you actually interact.

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 7 hours ago

It isn't an uncommon opinion, but it seemed awfully hard to come by on hexbear, which was my whole point.

And you got from that that I support Israel in their genocide?!? Both sides can be terrible and have gross humanitarian and moral issues.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

If you're both-sideing a genocide you have picked a side.

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That isn't how logic works. What are you arguing? That every action of Hamas ever was entirely good and justified?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

it's the duty of an occupied people to resist their occupation and genocide, that doesn't make them terrorists. the people delivering US weapon systems are the terrorists.

do you condemn the United States?

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yes I condemn the United States.

You think it's good for people to rape and kill civilians, that it's justified by the end of resisting occupation?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

obviously I don't think it's good, but I'm not condemning them for resisting occupation.

I don't think any country is good, they all need to be dismantled, start at home.

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 4 hours ago

I condemn things that aren't good even if they're working towards a good end. Why do think that shouldn't be condemned?
