        You are rather quick to assume I am one of the “pro-genocide people”.

        I have been quite consistent (and am certainly not the only one claiming) that both Israel and Hamas-run Palestine have each separately engaged in genocide (and, separately, various war crimes). I try not to “both-sides” this; each actor has their independent rationale for what they do.

        I fail to see how what I said was so “vile”. Troll-ish, yes, guilty. In my defense, this was in response to an equally invective comment; I was trying (poorly) to show that the same standard was not being applied equally.

        And FWIW I agreed with the mod removal; it was a good decision. The comment that stood was what I should have posted, had I been less emotional on this admittedly… pretty emotional topic.

        Anyway, good luck fighting against everyone until they agree with you.

          Oh, I’m not assuming.

          "I try to not both-sides this, please ignore that I just did and am about to do so again.

          I was trying (poorly) to show that the same standard was not being applied equally.

          “Don’t you mean all lives matter?”

          pretty emotional topic.

          It be an emotional topic usually makes people more sympathetic towards the victims of genocide, not more inclined to start going “but what about both sides!”

          Anyway, good luck fighting against everyone until they agree with you.

          Go back to reddit, you insufferable loser.

            Do people not realize that the modlog is public, with their asses hanging out there?

            ETA: Oh, I see you’ve already covered this upthread 😂

      Didn’t take long to get banned for my radical opinion that all forms of Us-vs-Them tribalism are dehumanizing.

      it’s always the pro-genocide people acting so injured on when the vile stuff they say gets a negative response
