@geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml banned me from !ManufacturingConsent@lemmy.ml (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.
YDI. Iran is being threatened with imperial violence more than ever. Now is not the time to be promoting imperial propaganda. Nobody cares about your “but akshualllyyy”. Save it for the libs who completely support zionism, colonialism, etc. If the imperial “revolution” succeeds, the leftist groups that you supposedly support will be the first to be attacked like anywhere else.
Show me where I “promot[ed] imperial propaganda”. Did you read the article which clearly condemns the imperialist actors?
Edit: also, the comm actually doesn’t have any rules and the instance rules shouldn’t apply, either, afaik.
SYBAU 👎
Typical technocrit, always trying to stir the pot. Yawwwwwwn.
