We all know the hypocrisies of the pro- Israel stances, I’m not going into specific arguments but it’s just everywhere. Normal people seem to have bought in even quicker than they did with supporting Ukraine. it’s awful. Free Palestine.

    I think there’s a lot of astroturf. I scrolled down on one of the reddit-logo threads and saw a lot comments written like they’re replies. Either reddit’s broken, or a bot fucked up and posted threads to the top level, or people with strong feelings about Israel don’t know how to reply to comments on reddit.

    Comments by tibbles1, LeftLeftRightRight, jiaxingseng, notaredditer13 and probably many others are written like replies and quote comments that I can’t find. Although there are a lot of deleted comments.

      on the topic of Reddit:

      “I know what it’s like to live under censorship,” [Ashooh] said. “My internal check, when I’m arguing for a restrictive policy on the site, is Do I sound like an Arab government? If so, maybe I should scale it back.” On the other hand, she said, “people hide behind the notion that there’s a bright line between ideology and action, but some ideologies are inherently more violent than others.”
