OP has shown their intentions are vengeance against Dems for perceived slights. Keep this agenda in mind if you read their BS articles.
Regardless of his intentions, it's very aggravating how many of his clearly combative comments stay up despite "no trolling" being in rule 4.
I frankly do not understand why we have the rule if it is never going to be enforced. Is there question among our mod team about what constitutes trolling?
Looking through the modlog though, the only rule 4 enforcement seems to be low-effort stuff. High-effort trolling appears to be completely welcome in this community, which I just do not understand. But I'm contemplating beginning to take advantage of it. I can piss people off with subtle, passive-aggressive personal digs and logical fallacies while maintaining a veneer of civility too. It's been a lot of years, but I'm sure it'll come right back to me.
The only thing that really bothers me is that they put zero effort into rationally justifying their opinions. "Muh, my opinion, no matter how irrational and unfounded, is just as valid as yours!". That kind of dishonest deflection is trolling but I abhor dragging mods into it unless it is necessary. I can deal with trolling.
Yeah, that's an evolution from his earlier style. Note that he often subtly flips it to something personal though. Just pay attention to how often he talks about "you" and "them". He seldom addresses facts or arguments, instead he addresses people. Individuals and groups.
What frustrates me is there is enough trolling on social media already, we should not be condoning it by simply allowing it here, in what is usually a more mature Lemmy space. We don't need more internet-ey behavior on the internet, there's already plenty everywhere.
Look at this trying to apply speech impediments to attack OP.
I cant believe OP is supporting a different party because he doesnt like yours. What a troll
...among Muslim voters
She’s lost any credibility after that radio interview.
It really doesn't.
People can think it's awful at the same time they can't do anything about it because IT'S NOT WITHIN US CONTROL.
We could stop sending them weapons. Then we could stop sending them financial aid. Then we could sanction them. Its pretty entirely in US control, Israels existence always has been
Yup. That's exactly how national alliances are made. This ideal worked so fucking well after WWII, Korea, Vietname, Iraq 1 & 2, Afghanistan.
Holy shit, we have an amazing strategist on our hands here! Let's get this person to the negotiation table ASAP!!!
Theyre committing genocide, any support is endorsement
Okay, right. So anyone selling ammunition to a country of any type, cool.
Turns out that all countries do this, so you're just mad at the world.
A country using that ammunition to commit genocide??
Yeah, like any other Middle East conflict? Russia, China, Brazil, Peru, and most of the continental African countries all make and sell munitions to Israel.
What exactly is your point?
...all of that just reinforces my disdain for arming a genocidal country? Did you think I was gonna go "oh well if China and Russia are doing it must be good"
But even whatever point you're trying to make bringing them up wouldnt hold up anyway because compared to the US they do not provide a fraction of the financial and military support the US does.
Actually, trying to look up the relevant figures, your claim is an outright lie, none of those countries are even on the list of arms supplies to Israel https://www.reuters.com/world/who-are-israels-main-weapons-suppliers-who-has-halted-exports-2024-05-09/
