House Democrats wrote a letter to U.S. President Joe Biden urging them to halt the the transfer of weapons until a full investigation into the airstrike was completed.
So then I said, you’re conflating someone disagreeing with you which lots of people do for valid reasons, with supporting genocide which pretty much no one on Lemmy does.
They don’t tell me their “valid reasons.” They just scream the usual garbage “Russian Chinese Tankie Republican child shill bot” shit that centrists say when they can’t actually argue their point.
What “valid reasons” are there to support the continued sales of weapons that are being used for genocide?
So then I said, dude no one’s actually supporting genocide
And then you said la la la, I can’t HEEAR you, they’re such bad unreasonable people all these people in the thread who love Israel’s war and want the weapons flow to continue, like look at the top 3 comments in this thread for example and see how not at all unanimous is the “genocide bad” consensus, that’s totally exactly why people are downvoting me is because they love love love genocide sooooo much
Centrists respond with false accusations, abuse, condescension, dismissal, and gaslighting. They do not respond with their “valid reasons” for disagreeing with “Biden should stop supporting genocide,” but they certainly make it clear that they hate anyone who says it.
What conclusion should I draw from that other than “centrists support genocide”?
I know you’re going to try to limit the scope of discussion to this thread alone, as though my original comment wasn’t based on the broader context of centrists calling people who want Biden to stop selling weapons that he knows will be used for genocide “russian.”
If you claim that you’ve never seen it happen anywhere on lemmy, you’re lying.
So take a look at something like this – this person is saying Biden supports genocide and that’s bad, and only that, and they’re getting almost unanimous upvotes and only one comment, which is agreement.
In contrast, your comments which say Biden supports genocide and also saying some additional statements in addition, don’t get the same reception.
What do you think is the difference? Why did people like this person’s post so much, if being against genocide in your world is this wildly unpopular maverick stance to take within Lemmy politics?
What additional statements did I lead with there? Oh yeah, I must be making shit up because you don’t want to accept that saying that Biden should not support genocide - by itself without anything additional - brings out hostility right here on lemmy.
Interesting. What do you think causes the difference in reception between your simple statement and @fiend_unpleasant@lemmy.world’s? I have my theory but I’m curious what you think.
I wonder what the reply to that user said before it was removed.
I think centrists’ opinion regarding Netanyahu’s genocide has shifted since the deliberate targeting of aid trucks from World Central Kitchen. Tens of thousands of Gazans are dead, and this isn’t the first aid convoy Israel has destroyed during this genocide, but it’s the first one operated by a celebrity chef.

Okay let’s try a little different approach
