This will come as no surprise to any one given they are a .ml account, but now that they are attempting to discourage people from voting, they revealed their true face.

Edit: only now seeing they also post links to x.com still. I liked their content because I am anti genocide too, but it’s clear there’s a big the_donald vibe there.

    A small but unfortunate side effect of the ongoing genocide in Palestine is that it’s given a legitimate cause to people who were previously (and still) cheerleading the attack on Ukraine, etc.

    Also, this particular account (geneva) is fairly anti-semitic - eg. refusing to distinguish between jews and zionists.

    The usual tankie shit.

      100% agree with you about geneva_convenience’s tendency to conflate judaism with zionism. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with calling out democrat (or any other) candidates who are soft on zionism. We need more, not less of that.

        I agree, however, Geneva does the same every election cycle. I first saw them do it with AOC. This is voter discouragement and very well timed too. Never-hillary got us trump in the first place.

        Aside from that, in the last 24h I’ve established that several of their .ml communities are designed as echo chambers to promote a very radical agenda and that they most likely don’t even care about zionism or the palestinian genocide. They just want to keep trump in power. And that’s fine, it’s a free world, but that they are cloack and dagger about it and allow this level of mod behaviour is pretty fucked up.

          No, what happens is that folks like you get whipped up every election cycle into a lynching fervor, because you are desperate for Trump to lose and you have a lot of strong feelings. But instead of employing that energy usefully towards fighting folks who genuinely do wish you harm (i.e. the republicans) you are directing it at leftists and chasing shadows and foreign agents. Why is that? Just please do something more useful and positive with your time.

            Polar opposite viewpoints, but at least we’re having civil discussion.

            Your comment really read to me like you were describing genevas actions.

            Just to be clear, geneva is the one who, instead of doing literally anything to improve the plight of the Palestinian people, posts about how mediocre the candidates opposing the republican candidate.

            I don’t think you understand the agenda of the aforementioned mod and their instance admins. Instead of outright calling themselves the_donald.ml, they do it under the most roundabout way pretending to be progressive and to care about Palestinian people while in reality just trying to keep trump and the chaos he brings about.

              Are tankies allowed to post their opinions in MoG? I think you are making bad faith assumptions based on vibes. Do you have clear evidence of your claims? It seems unlikely to me that geneva_convenience doesn’t care about the palestinian people, and it seems unfair to make that claim without substantiating it. You can dislike and criticise their opinions without jumping to wild accusations.

                What is MoG?

                I think you might find that this very well could be a payrol person who has very much no values or beliefs whatsoever, and just astroturfs for a living.

                My updated opinion on geneva is based on this little sidebar (which may not be up for long, as I’ve essentially invited them to instance ban me)

              posts about how mediocre the candidates opposing the republican candidate.

              I don’t even care for GC, but I post about this because if candidates are mediocre how can they be seen as real opposition? Why is having demands of candidates a bad thing?

              Browbeating people critical of democrats might feel cathartic for you but it’s just enabling the worst behaviors from candidates. Like for example the number of democrats who decided to go anti trans after winning their primary.

          Never-hillary got us trump in the first place.

          No, Hillary being an unpopular candidate, that ran on terrible policies, after Obama screwing over his voting base is what got us Trump the first time.

          …a very radical agenda…

          So being against genocide is a “radical agenda”?

          …they most likely don’t even care about zionism or the palestinian genocide.

          Do you have any evidence of this?

          They just want to keep trump in power.

          Ah yes, it couldn’t possibly be that they want both the pro-genocide parties to lose. It has to be one or the other: Thats The American Way
