Over the past few days, @MrKaplan@lemmy.world/@MrKaplan@piefed.world has banned multiple users, blocked entire comms, and now defederated from Anarchist.Nexus over their anti-Zionist stance.

This extreme overreaction and general power trippin' bastard behavior stems from Lemmy.world's history of pro-Zionist views. And now MrKaplan is seeking out the flimsiest pretext to to enact his own personal vendetta.

Free Palestine, Death to Israel, Death to Zionism.

Lemmy.world is a ZioNazi instance. Avoid it like the plague.

Do y'all remember when you were like, 14 or 15, and you had your first big political opinion. That moment where you realized that there was something going on that was bad or didn't make a lot of sense, and appealed to your sense of injustice. And then, for the next few years it was all you talked about with people because, like, how is it possible that they didn't get it, you know? And you were just so informed on the issue that it couldn't even be possible that there was any nuance, because you were so clearly and obviously right?

I feel like that's what lemmy.ml is every time it comes into my feed.

    I had strong convictions as a teenager, then learned to rationalize injustice as an adult. You should too.

    way to self-report

    some of us just never 'grow out' of finding genocide abhorrent

    Putting words in my mouth man. I still find genocide abhorrent. What I learned was to not make it my entire personality.

    You're allowed to enjoy your life. Advocacy is important. Standing up for what you believe in is important. But when you let arguing with randos on the Internet become who you are, you're not making a difference, you're just being an ass. And, in my experience with lemmy.ml, that's what it reminds me of. Being that guy who was trawling the Internet, looking for a debate.

    And to be clear, when I was 15/16, the current Israeli situation wasn't in the zeitgeist. I was obnoxious about a completely different set of issues, lol.

    It's called paraphrasing.

    I still find genocide abhorrent.

    could have fooled me.

    You clearly have pivoted from being obnoxious about 'something else' to tone policing people for being too vocal about genocide in your wise old age. caring and having principles is just soooo immature, right?

    I've been caring about this long before it was trending; another self report on your part though about how deep your principles lie.

    All you seem capable of is projection; rest assured arguing with charming people like you online is the least of my political activities.
