Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    Inb4 the “but you haven’t ExPlIcItLy DeNoUnCeD tHe hoLuCaUsT” because you can’t read between the lines. I know the horrors. Discovering its history is actually one of the most memorable moments of my teenage years. The harrowing thought that people could behave like this to one another changed me in ways no other thing has. I’ve read the books, some of them twice. And I haven’t even mentioned the other genocides, like the Rape of Nanking, that left me disheartened for weeks after reading it. Or the My Lai Massacre. Or even Gaza.

    But none of that matters when we have some utter assholes on the internet using it as a cheap excuse to entertain themselves at the expense of others, as you and the other guy have. After all of this, I can confidently say that neither of your concerns is genuine, and that your only goal is to grind a stupid and superficial axe for cheap internet points. Rather than give the people the benefit of the doubt and allow people to share their thoughts and ideas, you’d rather go for the jugular. You’d much rather spend the day accusing, bickering, and vilifying than trying to understand. You’re an extension of the hate. You’re despicable.

      Huh, you sound like a good person who cares about genocide, then. There was this other user running around telling people who were upset about genocide that “the world doesn’t revolve around genocide” and that they need to “move the fuck on.” Maybe I should introduce you to each other and let you duke it out with them. Lemminary, meet Lemminary.

          I was listening before when you were pro-genocide and I’m also listening now that you’ve changed tact to being anti-genocide.

            Weird, because I used to think you were a pedo, and now you changed the tactic to being an anti-pedo. Why the change, huh? Suspicious.

              Except that you did say that “the world doesn’t revolve around genocide” and people upset about it need to “move the fuck on” which are both clearly pro-genocide.

                For the second time, the actual context is “the world doesn’t revolve around genocide” for centrists to make a judgment. “Move the fuck on” because centrists don’t base their entire set of opinions around this one topic you’re hyperfixating on.

                I’ve already explained this. You chose not to listen. You then fixated on the fucking waffles instead. Remember? Of course you don’t, because that’d expose you as being disingenuous from the beginning.
