Memba reddit comments circa 2016 election? I memba.
It’s already getting like that over there. That’s why I’m here now. The last straw was a “Reddit Recommendation” that I join r/InternationalNews. I took a look around, and it was a hotbed of anti-Israel and anti-America content. There was the video of the university detonation from January 20th, posted that day and pinned to the top. When I commented on the date and provided the source, I was downvoted to oblivion, and eventually banned.
The sub was #7 under recommended news subreddits.
anti-Israel and anti-America content is cool actually
So are you racist or a nationalist? There’s a difference between criticizing Netanyahu and Biden, and entire nations of people.
criticising Israel's genocide of palestinians and consistent settlement of palestinian land going back 75 years and the American government unconditionally supporting them to do this for the last few decades regardless of political party isnt racist actually. I'm assuming you don't think that just because I criticise the actions of the Russian government that makes me a white supremacist who hates all russian people.
edit: im getting downvoted for saying genocide is bad and countries that commit genocide are bad lmao
Scratch a liberal and a fascist downvotes.
Can we start treating the bullshit line of "I don't hate the people I hate the government" for what it is? This is the 40th time in a row it's been used by someone who absolutely does conflate a government and its people.
