things that are blatantly false

So you’re willing to say Ukraine has not committed genocide?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Ukraine was committing ethnic cleansing in Donbas since 2014, and they weren't even hiding it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHWHqj8g7Bk

What's not true is that MLs aren't posting about Gaza. We have mental capacity to care about two genocides at the same time bud.

But priorities have changed, haven’t they…

I genuinely don't get what you're trying to say?

MLs support national liberation of Palestine, and are going to keep discussing that until that liberation is achieved. They have talked about it regularly for decades. Maybe you weren't paying attention to that? With the current situation in Gaza, of course it's going to remain something MLs talk about daily.

At the same time, MLs are against NATO and NATO expansion, another issue which they've talked about consistently for decades. The events in Ukraine have been a major topic for MLs for a long time, and obviously, the current situation there is going to remain a relevant issue of frequent discussion.

The US empire's strategic footholds in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia and the wars they stir up/threaten there are going to be continuously a topic of discussion for MLs until there is a fundamental shift in world power. Why would that change? National liberation and imperialism are among the top areas of concern of MLs, there is no reason to stop talking about anything related to them. As I said at the start, I genuinely don't understand what you are trying to imply.

You forgot to switch accounts.

[–] itsoctober@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

Yes, someone definitely jumped on an alt just to tell you "I don't get what you're trying to say"

This has all been an elaborate conspiracy to try to get you to explain your point

You leave me with no other choice but to continue not knowing what you meant lol

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They really haven't and I have no idea what you're basing this fantastical claim on to be honest.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don’t know why you’re pretending to be completely ignorant to be honest.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Ignorant of what, you made a baseless claim and you're just doubling down on it. Want to see MLs talking about Gaza go to
