This was in Lemmy world politics.

    Maybe I should have said “99%”, I have seen some overtly pro-Israel users. They’re pretty few and far between, though. The vast majority of the time, it’s someone using a lazy strawman to attack someone by pretending they like genocide, instead of dealing directly with what they’re saying.

    Can you link me to some examples of defense of genocide? I can pretty much guarantee you that whatever example you send me is not going to be a defense of genocide, it’s just going to be some opinion you disagree with which you are pretending implies support for genocide, so you don’t have to engage with what it actually says.

      No, what you can promise me is that you’ll attempt to rationalize it as something it’s not, the same way you’re going to great lengths to try to whitewash FlyingSquid. The problem with that is, you’re just some random idiot on Lemmy, and I don’t care if you’re delusional or not, so I don’t see why I should take that kind of time debating you. I don’t care if you agree with me or not, so there’s no benefit in it for me whatsoever.

        You messaged me, man. There wasn’t benefit for you in typing up your opinion in the first place, either. If you’re willing to spend time yelling about how it is, but not willing to demonstrate how it actually is when asked questions about it, then I’m going to draw the obvious conclusion.

          I made the post to point out how stupid your argument was. My message wasn’t for you, it was for everyone else, so that we can laugh at you. The idea that Zionists, who support a right-wing European ethnostate whose government leaders are on record supporting genocide on social media for years, would not support a genocide is MAGA levels of utter stupidity. To the point that I wonder how you even tie your shoes in the morning, because clearly you are incapable of smashing your two brain cells together hard enough to jog out a worthwhile thought.

          That’s the benefit for me in that last post. I’m making fun of an idiot. In the same vein, you can’t educate idiots, so why would I bother humoring you in your vain attempt at pretending you have a rational bone in your body?
