Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Classic.
Sleazy wheezy, I see.
I had to read your two mistaken diatribes, too. I‘m reacting directly to their substance. You‘re so full of yourself, that you‘re not even reading the answers.
Stop accusing me of shit I didnt do.
Stop being dishonest.
Stop harrassing me.
Harassing? Now you've dropped into a victim complex. You're spiralling mate. It's embarrassing. Ironically you're acting like a Zionist. A small amount of constructive criticism for the way you communicate. You've completely lost the plot that youve deluded yourself.
It's straight wrong stuff you proclaim. Either read the comment or stfu.
It's an opinion on the way you communicate mate. There is nothing to refute. That's why none of your list of bullet points addressed it. You essentially said "nuh uh" and then rambled about irrelevant justifications for why you communicate like a dickhead.
When someone tells you you're being a dickhead about the way you communicate and then you give a list of bullet points to justify why you're acting like a dickhead, well, you're just kind of proving the point. I read it. There is nothing you addressed on my criticism. You just justified to yourself why you decide to communicate like a dickhead. And if people don't learn from you then apparently that's there problem.
It's not there problem. It's our problem. It is our job as leftist to radicalize people. If you're not actually trying to do that, and every conversation ends with you feeling superior for "being educated" while doing nothing to convince people then that is your failure NOT others.
I started this conversation with empathy for your frustrations. But you are so lost in your own individualization and personal identity that you made it all about yourself and started playing victim. Your acting like a "special snowflake liberal" and making it all about yourself. Listing out justifications for your own lack of communication skills because you refuse to address the actual criticism.
Which is why you can't understand that the criticism and advice I was giving is about how to actually convince people, educate people, and how to actually radicalize people. The average person isn't going to be convinced by "facts and logic" while you say something to piss them off . That's what you did. Doing that closes them off. It makes them turn into this same defensive stance that you yourself are stuck in RIGHT NOW. Ironically enough.
That's why I started my comment with agreeing with your definitions and criticisms of liberal zionist. I had hoped that would help you understand that the criticism I have comes from a place of understanding. But, some people are hopeless in trying to help I guess.
I'm not reading all that 🖕
I've read and understood your criticism in the first comment. I disagreed and rejected it, gave my reasoning and think you yourself
are neither helpful,
are not a good communicator,
have started off of a false premise (a fact you now ignore),
are actually screaming (caps more than once),
are slanderous in almost every sentence,
are hiding your own dickheadery under a veil of "helpfulness",
are actually self aggrandizing through your demeaning style to reprimand my writing style based on your opinion alone,
allege stuff that's just not true,
psychologize me to put me down,
are clearly unable to see your own failed communication.
But sure, in a few very helpful comments you analyzed, that I'm a "dickhead", that
is "making those advocating for the Palestinians look unreasonable and irrational",
that's not "letting it be",
that's "not saying something to be helpful",
only "cares about being correct",
only "wants to shock" (lol),
"screams",
only "starts to educate people after getting the reaction I supposedly were looking for" (which is factually incorrect),
only wants to argue "with someone that would never agree with me",
that needs to go outside,
writes answers which are not worth the read,
drops into a victim complex,
is spiralling,
is definitely not your mate,
is embarrassing,
has completely lost the plot,
has deluded himself,
is rambling about irrelevant justifications,
doesn't listen to "someone telling me I'm being a dickhead about the way I communicate",
is not doing "the job" right,
ends every conversation "with me feeling superior for being educated",
while doing nothing to convince people,
is "lost in my own individualization and personal identity",
"makes it all about myself",
"plays victim",
"acts like a special snowflake liberal",
"refuses to address the actual criticism",
is "stuck in the same defensive stance RIGHT NOW",
"can't understand" what your well formulated, benevolent criticism is about,
"closes people off, by pissing them off" (happens, true, get over it),
does not understand, that your criticism "comes from a place of understanding" and
is one of the people being "hopeless in trying to be helped".
Thank you so much, that you started "this conversation" with "empathy for my frustrations", with "agreeing with my definitions and criticisms". Also, thank you for wasting both of our time, when we could have used it "for the cause".
As I said, the fuck off is warranted. And if somebody is a dickhead here, that's you. You just got triggered, hard. Btw, I'm not making it about myself, you keep making it about me. removed
You keep responding with "no, you" and I'm the one projecting? Yikes. Come up with an original thought. It's pathetic.
Alright, yes, yes, of course, yes, true, so wise, Amen, so many good communication, let me add "no original thought" and "pathetic" to the long list of wheezy's wisdoms. Thank you for your help, really, much appreciated.
You can be a dick but don't act like you're surprised when you get dicky behavior in return.
