    Knowing EC, it’s very much the latter. In fact I suspect you should expect to be called a genocide supporter by them. Since you have dared not say something horrible about Biden.

          Ahhh gotcha. Yeah I’m new to the site as a reddit exile and still figuring out everything here.

          Yeah, those people are just tiresome, and they have no idea how geopolitics works. It’s annoying, and one of the effects of republicans cutting funding for schools and not teaching civics anymore.

            I agree. And welcome to Lemmy 🙂 yesterday was my first anniversary of joining. It’s a very different place from Reddit. But it still has a lot of similar problems unfortunately. However quite a bit more can be done about it. So it’s definitely worth sticking with

              That’s good to hear. I had my 7 year reddit account permanently suspended for sarcastically making fun of the bot infestation, so fuck them.

              Yeah, it’s different but it feels like an ‘older’ forum which is definitely nice!

                As someone who was on Reddit before the Dig migration. Lemmy definitely has a similar feel to old old Reddit. We’ll see if it changes. It’s still definitely a culture shock though. Reddit being so heavily right-wing aligned. And lemmy being the opposite.

                  The sheer amount of dismissiveness towards the propaganda brigades and the moderators with an agenda was pathetic. I messaged admins numerous times and the universal response was shrugging their shoulders. It’s so dumb.

                    It’s definitely a challenge for the future here on lemmy. But with it’s decentralized nature and ability to Confederate I think it at least as some better Baseline tools. Though it also has some pretty glaring flaws that could be used as a fire hose of falsehood in the short term.

          Purported positions?

          Fuck, tell me what my positions are, wise and ancient omniscient one.

              You pretend to want to stop the killing in gaza.

              I do want to stop the genocide you support by refusing to call it a genocide.

              All while agitating against the best solutions for it.

              The best solution involves Biden ceasing his support for the genocide that you also support by refusing to call it a genocide.

              The most hilarious part was that I said pointing out your Youth and experience was not an insult.

              You baselessly insulted me by calling me a child. And then lied and said it wasn’t an insult.

                I call it genocide all the time sweetheart. Care to try again?

                Biden could stop his support tomorrow that’s not going to change congress. Who is the actual problem here. And that’s exactly my point. Thank you for proving it for me again. Oh and go check my post history I call genocide all the time. The fact that you thought this was some big dunk that you had finally gotten. Pretty hilarious. Also pretty immature but expected :-)

                I said you were behaving like a juvenile / adolescent. Not a child. Which you are even here. If you aren’t actually that young and just behaving like you are. That’s a you problem kiddo.

                  I call it genocide all the time [demeaning pet name omitted].

                  Then call it a genocide right now. Say that the actions of Netanyahu that Biden supports are a genocide.

                  Biden could stop his support tomorrow that’s not going to change congress.

                  Congress didn’t force Biden to sell Netanyahu weapons for genocide. Congress didn’t force him to claim there was no genocide. Congress didn’t force him to go to bat for Netanyahu at the UN for so long.

                  Oh and go check my post history I call genocide all the time.

                  I checked. Three whole times in the past month, and two of those were denying that Biden supports Netanyahu’s genocide. We have different metrics for “all the time.”

                  I said you were behaving like a juvenile / adolescent. Not a child. Which you are even here. If you aren’t actually that young and just behaving like you are. That’s a you problem kiddo.

                  Condescension is what centrists use as their replacement for defensible positions.

                    Then you must be a centrist by your own weird metric because all you ever do is be condescending. And no, before you go accusing me, it’s not a lie. Look at your own post history.

                And yet your only suggestion it seems is to yell at people to not vote, accuse anyone that IS voting of being a “gEnOciDe sUppOrTeR!” And generally just spread what appears to be mostly misinformation.

                  I have never done this and will never do this. You are lying about my position because you can’t defend your own.
