Wait, I'm even more confused. Are you saying the OP who posted is creating the demarcations for groups?

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The person who I am directly replying to.

But make no mistake, Israel is also fascist af.

Wish there was common nomenclature for referring to posters or parts of a comment to make the context clearer. Friends say I am on the spectrum but the Psychologist said that doesn't seem to be the case.

Like, OP1 is lame, OP2 supports genocide, etc. to clarify within a thread without having to quote or @ which I find a bit clumsy and generally gets in the way of flow.

This sounds like a great idea!

I'll clarify, I'm just putting out a reminder that being fascist is not an inherent trait, like green eyes or dark skin. Literally anyone can fall into the trap of fascist thinking. The only way to be truly anti-fascist is to recognize the warning signs in your own thoughts and worldview.

So centrism can sometimes be a trap, but don't demonize the practice of seeing both sides. Taking a hard line with one sides is a step on the path to becoming a fascist.

Ah yes, the "I have a black friend" defense.

If you have a Jewish friends then you really aren't anti semitic are you?

Such a smooth brain comment.

Not to mention a huge amount of Israelis themselves criticise the current government and what it's done.

I thought it was pretty obvious I was being ironic, but I guess not.

[–] letsgocrazy@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your comment was indistinguishable from the kind of stupid people that genuinely mean the same thing.

Unless you read the first half.
