    I guess I’ll take the bait. Bro you are straight delusional and need to reevaluate everything if you think Trump/Biden are anywhere near Hitler. Relax it on the world is ending rhetoric, it’s exhausting for the rest of us.

      Well… Trump, I dunno. Dude’s awful cozy with actual Nazis. Also talks like Hitler, probably as fan service to the Nazis in his base.

      Just admit you hate Palestinians. Every day is yet another Hitler shit coming from 99% Hitler Biden and 100% Hitler Netanyahu.

        I get your point. When I was in middle school, I referred to anyone in power that I didn’t like as “Hitler,” too, regardless of accuracy. George Bush? Hitler. Al Gore? Also Hitler. The substitute teacher who yelled at me for goofing around? Hitler! That local cop who stopped us from egging cars and let us off with a warning? There was clearly no other world leader I could possibly compare him to.

        The good news is that I grew out of being constantly hyperbolic so maybe you will, too!

          Just admit you hate Palestinians and get the hell out of here.

            Uh, I’m pretty outspoken in my support for Palestinians so I’m not sure how I could “admit” I hate them when I don’t

              The authors of the genocide in Palestine today is the Israeli settler state led by Netanyahu and supported by Biden. Of course the comparisons to Hitler are justified. Your comment reads as genocide denial within that context. These Hitler comparisons not fall from the sky but was developed in context. If you really are outspoken about your support of Palestinians, then it would have been obvious why these comparisons are made.

                Hyperbole diminishes your point every time. Hitler led the genocide. Netanyahu is the Hitler here…not Biden or Trump

    I actually like the take from Shaun, but the comments here are just not what I envision this community to be. I missed the post when it was posted and all the comments happen, but this is just not the place for that. Let me make a quick list of things that I don’t think have place here or from my point of view break the server rules:

    • calling someone delusional can have a pathologizing connotation and I think should be avoided in discussions
    • calling someone racist - Just admit you hate Palestinians - because they disagree with you on something. nobody in this comment sections is denying the oppression of Palestinians or the complicity of US presidents in what is often called a genocide
    • using ageism - I grew out of being - and insinuating that people become more wise and well spoken just because they get older.

    Not going to to any mod actions here, but I am tagging you all so you actually see this reply. Please try reflect on the thing I mentioned and if you have any questions, please ask here or via pm. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]


    Also OP I think the format of multiple screenshots with sometimes hard to understand references is not that easy to engage with, especially for folks who need to safe bandwidth or just cant see (good enough). Using a more text based approach and image descriptions might make this more accessible.

      It’s not ageist. It’s maturity…ist. Using “Hitler” as a catch-all insult is immature as fuck. And acting like Biden is only 1% better than Trump is stupid as fuck.

      Hyperbole destroys good points and has no business here. Maybe start your list with that one instead of reactions to the hyperbole.

        Like do you want to talk about why I view comment as ageist or do you want to talk about the way someone argues with hyperboles?

        I am open to the first one. The second point is not something I care about because its not my business as a mod if anyone destroys their good points by using hyperboles.

          I don’t really want to talk about either, really. Neither of us are going to convince the other so I’d rather agree to disagree and save us both the negativity

      I’ll try to be more charitable in the future.
