@[email protected] banned me from [email protected] (permanently!) and removed my comment from the post, because I dared to note that there are protests in Iran and shared a link to a crimethinc article with voices from within Iran. They call it “imperialist propaganda” if leftist voices from within Iran are distributed.

My comment:

I get it that the western media narrative is incredibly one-sided, focused on ideological bogeymen and focused on getting the monarch back in power. But I’d like to point out that there is in fact quite massive repression going on against the protestors. Leftist orgs in Iran need international solidarity now.

Their “reasoning”:

reason: Ignoring the post to spam imperialist propaganda

I don’t think that person can be reasoned with if they call crimethinc imperialist propaganda, so I’m not getting my hopes up for them lifting the ban.

I also think that they might be a bit butthurt, because I called out their zionistic worldview (i.e.: that judaism equates zionism) a few days ago.

      I’m trying to be polite here and have a conversation, why are you unwilling to listen and instead engage in such behavior?

          Well, I’m sorry you can’t be bothered to have a conversation, I don’t think I’ve been disrespectful to you.

            You’ve inserted yourself into a discussion that’s 2.5 weeks old to tell meh that I’m “spreading imperialist propaganda” when I was complaining about an unjust and arbitrary ban for sharing an article with a leftist analysis about the protests in Iran, which you refuse to read.

            Then, you’re needlessly contrarian, making bold claims that I’ve never before supported Iranian protests and implicitly demanding useless proof.

            Read the fucking article, before you make claims about it, you fucking campist troll.

              Am I not allowed to discuss a comment I saw browsing a community?

              Yes, I’m telling you that you’re spreading imperialist propaganda, but after browsing through your profile and seeing that you’re a German “Anarchist”, I’ve decided to give up. Good luck defending Israel’s right to exist or something, enjoy the upcoming compulsory military conscription in your country! Rosa Luxembourg and Liebknecht would be proud /s

              Your country will not have a meaningful anticapitalist movement until you start treating the Soviet Union as the heroes who saved your asses from Nazism.

                How would you know? You haven’t read what I shared.

                but after browsing through your profile and seeing that you’re a German “Anarchist”, I’ve decided to give up.

                So much for “trying to have a polite conversation”.

                You just want to project whatever weird excuse to make you feel superior to me. First it was by claiming that something I posted was propaganda (without reading it). Now it’s assuming my political view on European imperialism and genocide, basedon where I happen to live.

                Your country will not have a meaningful anticapitalist movement until you start treating the Soviet Union as the heroes who saved your asses from Nazism.

                Wow, what a very materialist analysis from you. I’ve accepted daddy Stalin as my personal savior. /s

                God, you fucking ML cultists are aggravating. 🙄

                  I dropped the politeness when you started insulting me :) enjoy your compulsory recruitment! Go kill some Ruzzianz, buddy!

                    So, what exactly makes you think that I’m pro Israeli genocide or pro war with Russia, if not your rampant urge to put strangers into boxes to satisfy your hate-boner?

                    Even after finding out that I consider myself an anarchist (who are famous for being war-mongers and genocide-lovers /s).
