Apparently there's an issue with some instances banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments. Is lemmy.world a safe place to criticize governments?

Well, acting as an oppressor while claiming you're a victim is also a fascist tactic. It was literally used by the nazis to assume power.

And before you go "well so was dehumanizing the jews," its important to note that the jews were a scapegoat and weren't actively trying to invade Germany and eliminate their population.

Yeah, it's also important to note that "the Russian people" as a whole aren't trying to invade Ukraine and eliminate Ukrainians either..
