What is the point of this community, if we can’t have a discussion? I’ve been really disappointed with the ML stance on this war, and am not even allowed to publicly discuss my opinion in any existing ML community without my comment getting deleted.

This Rule : “No support nor defence of Ukraine, NATO or Western Imperialism” just encourages an echo chamber.

Really getting discouraged comrades. Do better.

    i also do not like that there are people who are virtue signaling by ignoring what is happening in Ukraine and instead start saying “lets save palestine, syria, etc.” …especially because a lot of these people have never before spoken up that much about these conflicts in the middle east/asia…this does not benefit those people in the countries in the middle east, these keyboard warriors as they are sometimes called are creating cognitive dissonance and pretending to be activists, only benefiting themselves to appear more moral than the rest of their peers. I think the best resources on this conflict are independent journalists who are right there on the frontlines or people like me with family in the country who are getting a direct POV of what is going on. Unfortunately, I’m not seeing a lot of that on most left-leaning forums right now, instead many sources are from large organizations that are biased towards one or the other
