    Reminds me how some special person on reddit described October 7 as a “minor provocation”.

    I mean, we can all agree that Israel are no saints, but anyone who supports Hamas or downplay the way they operate are in my opinion either stupid or ignorant or both OR they have no fucking morals and should stop pretending to ride around on that high horse when they cry about dead Palestinians.

    Yes, Israel are fucking horrible for killing civilians, but Hamas are the ones who uses the civilians as meat shields. If Hamas played by the war handbook, there would not have been this many dead civilians. At the very least Israel gives out warnings for civilians to evacuate and area before they bomb it while Hamas build their entire base of operations right in the middle of where little kids are playing.

    I don’t fucking want to defend Israel, but I want idiots who support hamas to understand what the fuck it is they are supporting. And if they still support Hamas after that, then they might as well support Israel too. They both have Palestinian blood on their hands. Ffs. Why does this conflict always attract the dumbest people among us? It’s like the war version of all those antivaxxers that popped up under covid.

      Hamas are the ones who uses the civilians as meat shields.

      Half true, Isreal also uses civilians as meat shields, and often execute them afterwards.

      Not defending Hamas doing it, just clarifying that Hamas is one of the ones doing it, not the ones.

    Do you ever think about what you’re gonna do when you win the fight against fascism on Lemmy? Like what to do with that Nobel prize money?

      Might as well stop fighting against faschist since there is no noble price in the end then.

      Probably pivot my time and effort into general promotion of the Lemmy-verse. Kinda hard these days when, inevitably, someone is going to come in and ask “Isn’t that the place that’s full of tankies?”

      At least if defederation is achieved against the whole triad I can say, “Yea they’re there, but most instances have disconnected from their instances, so you won’t see their BS unless you specifically want to”

        An anecdote I’ve shared before a time or two on my lemm.ee account was that I almost quit Lemmy specifically because of how insufferable the Hexbears were.

        I can’t speak to whether keeping me around was good, but I genuinely only remained because I learned how to block the instance.

          If you every want, https://lemmy.cafe/ blocks Hexbear, Grad, and ML while federating with everyone else.

          Also I think Piefed lets you block all users in an instance even if that instance is technically federated.

            Very few, considering you’re one of maybe two people I’ve seen complaining about it. cm0002 is doing good for the platform.

              I mean, that’s your opinion on the side that upvotes this dumb shit. Over on the tanky side you see just as many up votes and downvotes. It’s like when a bunch of rich people move into a neighborhood next to a methadone clinic and wanted it shut down cause they hate all the dirty people around.

              You aren’t fighting fascists, you’re in a flame war with a bunch of other people who disagree. This constant public fighting is childish.

        I don’t think you’ll do any of that. The second you don’t have this to grind against, i think you’re gone or you find a new fight.

        Like this was cute at first, I hate the tankies too, I just had 10 solid paragraphs about how Hasan is a left wing grifter modded off. This is gonna seem like cry bullying, but was this the person you always were, or did Lemmy turn you into this? Fucking tankies.

        You kinda remind me of Mozz, pretty sure that dude worked for the DNC cause he was gone weeks after the election.

          You can make assumptions if you’d like, but I was ramping up posting well before I took up this fight. I was ramping up towards the tail end of Reddit before the whole API debacle even. And I’ve always been a fairly heavy commenter. And actually Lemmy does have a way of making me want to post and not just comment.

          So no, I won’t be disappearing, if you really care to know. I’ve got other non-Tankie related plans in the works to further the Lemmy-verse based on my own goals and desires like even spinning up my own public instance.

          Tl;Dr, you’re stuck with me for the long haul, Tankies or no.

            I’ll believe it when I see it, for now you are the father of this silly interpersonal drama. You aren’t fighting some enemy. You’re spending all your time documenting people of Walmart. Seems like a great way to spend your time!
