There’s a whooshing noise here.

    The political memes community in particular has silly moderation. My post criticizing the billions in dollars being sent in support of genocide got deleted and when I asked for clarification, I got this explanation (and I quote):

    You’re blatant accusing political partition being pro genocide.

    This is an opinion.

    But I know that no one is PRO genocide. Therefore stating it as such is misinformation. It was removed for this reason alone.

      agreed, politicalmemes is a zionist hellscape. I’m sure they’re trying to take this place over like they took over reddit.

      I mean I understand wanting to see the world that way but whole entire societies of people can become genocidal. That is precisely what causes the atrocity of genocides like the palestinian genocide in gaza to grow out of control.

      Once the centrists in a society accept the rightwing framing of the ideology of genocide they will treat it as the status quo and resist anyone who threatens it. This is what is so fucking terrifying about blind centrism, the substance doesn’t matter at all to the ideology, just tracking the most commonly accepted “facts” which inveitably ends up in centrists bandwagoning behind an authoritarian.

      This is the stage of fascism Israel is deep into and the US is not far behind in and it quickly obliterates in you any doubt that people actually can be pro-genocide.

      We all have the potential to be, it is our choices and our empathy that give us agency to resist becoming so.

      … I don’t know, I think the people committing genocide might be a bit pro genocide… 🤔
