It’s not just Jill Stein, it’s a lot of people you see talking about Gaza as some blood curdling atrocity, but they don’t have the same level of empathy or consideration for Ukrainians. The anti-Israel propaganda is just being used to drive the Muslim and progressive vote away from Dems. I think it’s turning out to be successful.

I don't want the US government selling weapons to Russia to use against Ukrainians. I'm glad we aren't.

Not yet, anyway. That's absolutely Trump's plan though. You want to help prevent that?

You want to quit calling me a trumper every time I speak out against genocide?

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 day ago

Why can’t they? You accuse everyone you talk to of supporting genocide. Quit playing the victim of the exact same shit you do to everyone here.

Do you believe Putin when he claims Ukraine is committing genocide against Russia in the Donbas region, or are you aware that fascist regimes are liars and routinely accuse their opponents of genocide?

Of course I don't. It's why I'm glad that we're not selling him weapons.

And other lies you tell yourself.

I’ve never met a Palestinian supporter that isn’t also a Ukrainian supporter.

The entirety of lemmy.ml would like a word.

[–] MrBobDobalina@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I signed up to Lemmy without knowing much about instances, can't remember exactly why I picked lemmy.ml but it wasn't politics.

Is this really a generalisation people have? Should I move...?

your admins also run lemmygrad. only you can decide if you should leave. personally, i like beehaw, slrpnk, dbzero, and blahaj. one important aspect to understand about the fediverse is that your instance is part of the identity you present to others

We live next to corn and soybeans.

There are 20 Israel stories to every 1 Ukraine story on Lemmy.

Regardless of your opinion on the matter, this platform is being heavily astroturfed, and so are many other "liberal" platforms. It's actually way worse here than on Reddit.

[–] xhrit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It is Alexander Dugin's red-brown-green alliance.

Far left tankie red fascists, christian nationalist brownshirt fascists, and islamo-fascists, joined together to destroy 'liberalism'.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's actually way worse here than on Reddit.

Because after r/ChapoTraphouse was kicked out from Reddit for inciting violence, the tankies moved to create lemmy.ml.

Probably something to do with my country financing the underdog in one of these fights and the war criminals in the other.

Do yourself a favor block grad and ml it cleans up a lot of bad faith arguments.

I haven't met any in real life as far as I'm aware, but I've seen plenty on here.
