And also posting the 2023 report from human rights watch.
Sincerely bummed out, especially because the post was respectful and I am also a leftie.
I think Lemmy is some times so far left to the point of absurdity. If you point out that absurdity people will still downvote you.
I’ve seen far left folks practically suggesting that Biden isn’t doing enough reign in Israel, so we might as well elect Trump. When I point out that no, actually that would be worse, we should still vote democrat, people will downvote with a straight face. Like what position are you actually advocating for with those downvotes? Some times it feels like folks would rather walk off a cliff than hold a somewhat moderate opinion grounded outcomes and reality here.
