Think of how much people talk about 9/11, then realize that well over 10 times as many people have been murdered so far in Gaza. OP is doing everything they can to draw awareness to a tragedy - that’s a good thing.
Imagine if people had been more willing to call out the terrible practices of Nazi Germany, instead of just keeping their heads down and trying to convince themselves that it’s someone else’s problem that they have no need to concern themselves over.
Posting 4-5 times every day on a website isn’t something to be lauded. I mean even if that’s all they are doing, which it’s not.
I’ve witnessed this user claim repeatedly that anyone who challenges them at all is a Zionist, supports/loves genocide, etc.
The real issue is that they are constantly encouraging people to vote against Democrats, which shows they aren’t sincere, since anyone can see that would only help trump, who explicitly wants to help Netanyahu exterminate Palestinians
If all they were doing was posting true articles about Israel that would be fine. Obsessive but fine. It’s not all they are doing. For example:
Posting as much as you can about something that everyone needs to be acutely aware of, regardless of how “icky” it makes them feel is absolutely something to be lauded. I admit that I didn’t know the other stuff about OP, but the fact of the matter is that you didn’t complain about ragebaiting on a ragebaiting post, you complained about someone talking too much about an ongoing holocaust on a post that specifically focuses on the ongoing holocaust. If you want to complain about the other less-exemplary facets of this user, feel free to do so on a post that isn’t pointedly focusing on the - and I repeat - ongoing holocaust.
You aren’t interested in understanding. You are interested in the same shit as op: "making a point"by accusing people of essentially being Nazis for daring to challenge you. If you read that thread you will see a lot of people have noticed what this fuck is up to. And rage baiting is only part of it
Edit: I re read and the Nazi part of my sentence was not entirely accurate. But I do think it’s unfair to assume I’m trying to stop information about Israel from flowing just because of where I commented about the user
I never once accused you of being a Nazi, nor did I allude to doing so. What I did accuse you of was being just like the German citizens during Nazi Germany, who closed their eyes and plugged their ears while their fellow human beings were being slaughtered.
You can admit to not having the power to stop a holocaust, but don’t you dare think that you deserve the luxury of ignoring it. It needs to be on everyone’s minds every day, if for no other reason than to be thankful that they were fortunate enough to not have been born into the group of people being arbitrarily culled.
The only reason you’re not being murdered - wondering why nobody helped, nobody cared - is because you aren’t among that group. The least you can do is continue to keep it in your mind while it’s still happening.
So, I just edited my comment and then saw this one. Dude you don’t need to lecture me about this. I never once had an issue with the actual content in this particular post. I have an issue with this user because they are doing bad things. I’ve tried to make that clear but you won’t hear it. Not on me.
A post is separate from the user who posted it. This post is meant to point out the tragedy going on in Gaza. It doesn’t matter if OP was the one who posted it, or anyone else. Hell, it’s a clip from Twitter anyway; the words aren’t OP’s in any way - they’re just sharing them.
My point is that if you want to get mad at someone’s negative traits, that’s fine, but this post in this context isn’t negative. Your original complaint wasn’t about OP’s ragebaiting, or their habit of calling people Nazis for disagreeing with them, it was about their incessant posting about the ongoing genocide at Gaza, which - again - isn’t a bad thing.
Everyone has good sides and bad sides, and you chose to complain about OP’s good side, then attempted to justify your complaints by pointing out the fact that they have a bad side, which isn’t showcased here, and is thus irrelevant.
I think context is an important part of taking in information but I’m just weird like that apparently
My complaint is that it’s suspicious to post 4-5 times every day for nearly a year on the same topic nearly every single post. You’re aggressively ignoring my point.
I’m not ignoring it, it just doesn’t make any sense to be annoyed that someone keeps bringing up the fact that people are dying every day for an unjust cause. It’s why I accused you of wanting to ignore it - because that’s the type of person that benefits from less reminders of the ongoing murders.
