    It’s not just Jill Stein, it’s a lot of people you see talking about Gaza as some blood curdling atrocity, but they don’t have the same level of empathy or consideration for Ukrainians. The anti-Israel propaganda is just being used to drive the Muslim and progressive vote away from Dems. I think it’s turning out to be successful.

      And other lies you tell yourself.

      I’ve never met a Palestinian supporter that isn’t also a Ukrainian supporter.

          Ah, see I realized they were either all bad faith actors, bots, or idiots ages ago and don’t federate with them.

          I signed up to Lemmy without knowing much about instances, can’t remember exactly why I picked lemmy.ml but it wasn’t politics.

          Is this really a generalisation people have? Should I move…?

            your admins also run lemmygrad. only you can decide if you should leave. personally, i like beehaw, slrpnk, dbzero, and blahaj. one important aspect to understand about the fediverse is that your instance is part of the identity you present to others

            Personally, I’m fine with seeing differing opinions. On the political side, they get a bit obsessed with dunking and all these in-group memes for my tastes.

        There are 20 Israel stories to every 1 Ukraine story on Lemmy.

        Regardless of your opinion on the matter, this platform is being heavily astroturfed, and so are many other “liberal” platforms. It’s actually way worse here than on Reddit.

          Of course there are, and I probably post 3 of the 20.

          Other than the alt-right, you’re not going to find any support for Russia in the West.

          Why would we need to raise awareness and keep posting about Ukraine to the same level as Palestine?

            Bruh I literally got banned from .ml twice just for mentioning the fact that Russia shot down a civilian airliner in Ukraine. You are completely delusional if you don’t see that a significant portion of these idiots are up Putin’s ass.

              You absolute little liar.

              the deceptive practice of presenting an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign in the guise of unsolicited comments from members of the public.

              I am a real person, with an ethical obligation to stand up against genocide. There is no deception, I am a member of the public, and what I am doing is called activism (or slacktivism for the pessimists in the world).

          Probably something to do with my country financing the underdog in one of these fights and the war criminals in the other.

          Do yourself a favor block grad and ml it cleans up a lot of bad faith arguments.

        I think they’re talking about the people on TV talking about it, not the protestors themselves.
