    I got called a fascist for saying genocide against Jews is just as bad as genocide against Palestinians. Apparently it’s fascist now to be against fascist things

    EDIT: For proof, see downvotes on this comment. I genuinely can’t tell you which platform is more unhinged, this or reddit. Both are special places for special people

      Wording matters. In the face of countless ‘both sides’ rhetoric, this can be interpreted as ‘equal harm is presently being done to Israelis and Palestinians’.

        Wording does matter, but so does personal responsibility to digest those words and understand what is attempted to be communicated, not just recognizing a pattern and turning your brain off the second you see think you see a pattern
