It is incredibly racist to start accusing someone of being a foreigner any time there’s a miscommunication.

Absolutely not, no. Xenophobic maybe, but in the context of someone spreading propaganda for foreign governments like Russia, DPRK, and China do routinely, it's absolutely not racist to suspect someone shilling for those regimes might actually be from those countries. It'd be like accusing me of being an American because I dislike tankies. "Oh no, racism!"

And to be clear, this miscommunication is entirely on you, having admitted that you refused to clarify on the basis of “I don’t respect you.”

No, the miscommunication rests on your inability to parse logic written in English and my refusal to hold your hand because you gave me tankie vibes, which by now you have confirmed to be a good suspicion.

English is my first language, and I am a white American.

No point in saying that at this stage. "I promise, dear internet stranger, I am not lying!"

There is absolutely no grasping at straws here.

"Your opnion is incorrect. Mine is correct."

Thanks for practicing your writing and helping me practice my reading? Not a very convincing argument so I suppose that was the only reason you wrote it.

Imagine someone went up to order coffee and the barista mixed up their order, and they immediately started accusing them of being a foreigner, demanding to know if they “needed a translator” to get the order right, after that person had spent some time defending someone bending over backwards to whitewash [insert foreign country]. That person would very clearly and obviously be a racist, just like you.

There you go, fixed your metaphor.

Rude, yes. Racist? No.

You tankies exhaust non-tankies with your constant bad faith tactics and you get all pissy when you get rude responses back. Sorry I'm not sorry. Scurry back to tankie spaces if you don't want that kind of reaction, I guess.

Maybe you’re just too used to dismissing accusations of racism as “tankie nonsense” to see it, but it doesn’t stop being racist just because you add a political context.

You've got it backwards. If I say things critical of Russia/China/DPRK on Lemmy when lemmy.ml people are present, they run out of the woodwork to accuse me of being racist. Cue eye-roll.

And you decided to go all in on the distinction between “Using a Marxist definition” and “using a definition that may be Marxist but I’m not sure and also I assumed they were using it in bad faith?”

Let’s be clear. That is the miscommunication you refused to clarify.

Again you stretch the truth to fit a nice straw man to attack. I can't comprehend what I wrote for you, and I can only re-write it to clarify so many times before it becomes clear that you don't actually care or have the ability to understand what I was saying.

That is what caused you to go full racist and accuse me of being an illiterate foreigner

Literally never accused you of being "an illiterate foreigner." I accused you of English not being your first language OR you struggling with logic.

Again, DPRK/China/Russia/etc. are known to have divisions of internet trolls attempting to influence the West. That's what I suspect you of. That's not racist.
