MODERATORS
Yes, you are. It's fine to take them to task, but don't minimize the shit that's going on now with that dismissive and objectively incorrect bullshit. It makes you look ignorant and uninformed about things when you incorrectly say they're the same when they're clearly much worse.
But whatever, I'm sick of arguing with BoTh SiDeS bullshit people. Bye.
Oh they've taken a step further than 'both sides are the same.' In order to support their argument, they are claiming in another part of this thread that Gaza has no people in it. They are actually trying to claim that Israel has killed literally every Palestinian in Gaza (presumably with Biden's help) in order to avoid blaming the current administration for anything.
I'm really not surprised, these people didn't seem super honest from the start. I'm just at the point where I call people on bullshit and block when they try to justify accelerationist or cryptofascist shit.
E: LOL mfer is tried to tone police the conversation when you called them out. Good on you for keeping on these people and showing just how unserious and obviously trolling they are.
They don't really care. It's all a scapegoat to not vote, bury their heads in the sand, and pretend they have moral high ground.
i'm not minimizing, i'm asking for you to hold your own party accountable as well..
They literally called out the dems several times in their comment and they never said they wouldn’t call them out.
They take issue with you saying that both parties are the same when clearly one is worse than the other.
To really try and cement this in your brain.
BOTH BAD, ONE WORSE.
You see how Trump is already giving Israel larger bombs. That’s worse for Palestine right?
hey rude guy, come at me in a decent tone sometime.. like i said, this energy would've been helpful during the campaign but naaaaaaah, you lot had your eggs in kamala's basket...
"larger bombs" to pulverize an already completely destroyed gaza? "worse for palestine" get a clue.
Some of the things you've said in the last 24 hours:
I guess it's okay for you to be rude.
Let me guess- "they started it."
lol, and if you read every comment nested beneath that it only gets worse.. please.
Yep, like I suggested, you feel it is okay for you to be rude, just not other people.
you're the one sifting through every comment i've made to portray me as such.
I "sifted" through one page of your history. It took all of 30 seconds. I even said it was from within the past 24 hours.
What a silly thing to lie about.
its an awful lot of effort when there's nothing at stake.. you want me to be wrong so badly you're not even addressing the core argument we're having.. just character assassination.. its pretty low- i try hard to be reasonable and fair, even with folks who are hurling insults.. sometimes i fall short, i'm human.
If you think 30 seconds and 3 screenshots is an "awful lot of effort," you must be the world's laziest person.
What exactly do you think I want you to be wrong about?
Lazy is the keyword here. Any excuse not to participate in the democratic process to sit in mommy's basement.
you tell me, people don't behave this way in a vacuum.. why are you going so hard after me?
If you think this is someone going "so hard" after you, you're also the world's most sensitive person.
how long is this conversation now? what do you intend to achieve here?
I'm pretty sure I achieved it. Now I'm just amused.
