I’m done, I’ve been banned for expressing a different opinion (without insulting or personally attacking anyone), I’ve been accused of evading a ban with multiple accounts (this is my only account I’ve ever had on any lemmy instance), I’ve had people selectively ignore my comments and accuse me of things which I never said, and I’ve had people ignore valid criticisms and keep attacking me.
Reddit has many issues with trolls, one-sided discussion, and just general bullshit, but many Lemmy instances are way worse. The newfound freedom of Lemmy has attracted many extremists, from both sides, and many of them are moderators, who are more than happy to remove any contrarian opinions. This results in discussions being echo chambers
Yeah, okay dude. Say what you want about Israel, but defending Hamas is not it.
You believe that you can lie about everything Hamas does and anyone that disproves it is a terrorist?
No, but we can agree both groups are equally shitty. Anyone running defense for Hamas is really confused and misinformed. Same goes for defending the Houthis. They are all -IDF, Hamas, Houthis- awful.
You’re just making up lies to cover for israel’s genocide and then pretending everyone is the same when called out.
Hamas has not raped anyone. But you know who has? Israel.
Israel rapes women and sexually violates little girls.
The Houthis haven’t even killed a single person in their blockade and you’re comparing them to Nazi’s. Your claims are distant from reality.
I’m attacking Houthis- so by default I must be defending Israel (even though I called them out in my exact post)? Are you…stupid? I said they’re ALL REALLY SHIT. STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH YOU IMBECILE. if you love the Houthis so much, go live in Yemen as a woman or a gay person and see how long you last you cretin.
No you’re out here pretending everyone is the same after OP’s propaganda gets debunked. Which is a cop out.
And now you’re trying to pinkwash Genocide which is another cop out.
Just admit OP was making up lies to manufacture consent for Genocide and move on.
Oh for ffs. I’m not the one running defense for Hamas and the Houthis or Israel. YOU ARE. If you love them so much, you best be ready to defend all the human rights atrocities happening in Yemen right now. You guys have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve lived in the region.
You know how that gets solved? By not bombing Yemen and Gaza into oblivion.
The reason those governments were able to rise to power is because of American imperialism overthrowing governments that didn’t do these things.
Unless you think that bombing all the gays in Gaza out of existence is going to solve the problem, I don’t see why you think it would be wrong what the Houthi’s are doing to stop israel’s Genocide.
CommonDreams: Why We Must Reject the Pinkwashing of Genocide in Gaza
Stopping the bombing in Gaza will not make Hamas reverse course overnight. In fact, there was no bombing happening before October 7 when Hamas crossed over and butchered 1200 people. I’m glad the West has suddenly woken up to what is happening in this region yesterday because of what’s going on now with the IDF going full on genocide in the Gaza strip, but this conflict is far deeper and started long before Oct 7. Picking one of the parties (regardless if it’s the Houthis, Hamas , or Israeli Defense Forces) and ignoring everything that happened preceding Oct 7 is extremely naive. We need a ceasefire now, and we need the Palestinians to come to the table without Hamas (or the PLO) and we need Netanyahu’s ethnic centic cabinet replaced. All this talking in circles about who is right or wrong is not going to lead to any actionable plan. Legitimizing the Houthis won’t bring about any meaningful progress to this region.
