Is arguing "The west does not just send weapons. Europe also helps Ukraine in other ways" nationalism? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I got banned from "World News @ lemmy.ml" because of “Nationalism”, because I argued that especially Europe does not just send weapons to Ukraine, but does also support Ukraine with the injured, with money and with a perspective after the war… My comment got deleted, too…

Does anyone have an explanation or is the mod just some kind of GPT-2 model with a very special understanding of “Nationalism”?

They ban people for wrongthink and use a lot of different words for it. I’ll add nationalism to the list along with yellow peril, orientalism, Sinophobia, jingoism, and bigotry. Just stay off .ml, they aren’t interested in actual discussions

[–] amio@kbin.social 6 points 5 months ago

Don't forget the terrible crime of russophobia, which is when you point out the shitty things Russia does. Only "Amerikkka" bad.

[–] deur@feddit.nl 46 points 5 months ago (1 children)

In this case the morons at lemmy.ml have likely defined nationalism as "with regard to any nation that isnt communist or previously communist" and "without disagreeable (to tankies) opinion"

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 15 points 5 months ago

They're not actually communists, that's a facade for their propaganda.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 36 points 5 months ago

It’s the Marxist-Leninist Lemmy instance.

I unsubscribed because they only allow tankie talking points.

I got banned from "World News @ lemmy.ml"

Gee, what else is new?

[–] amio@kbin.social 28 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Getting banned from .ml is ... pretty much expected sooner or later, unless you're a tankie.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 20 points 5 months ago

No, see, it's not that you're a nationalist.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Spend about 30 minutes learning about "Marxism-leninism" and you'll understand.

If you can't be bothered, just make sure to include a comment about how sexy putin looks riding a bear shirtless or how you want president Xi to step on your balls whenever you post on any lemmy.ml communities.

[–] blahsay@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

The mods there are notorious

[–] uiiiq@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Strange

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago

Not strange if you're a mod on lemmy.ml and your goal is to suppress free speech so authoritarian propaganda can thrive.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

World News moderation is extremely strict. I'm grateful to the mods for keeping the community sane, but occassionally there'll be a false positive.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Sounds like something a nationalist would ask

[–] rdri@lemmy.world -4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Cute.

[–] OKRainbowKid@feddit.de 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Whataboutism is indeed popular with Russian bots.
