Look through OP's commenting history.

He claims all western media are controlled by the Zionists. He's called Hamas a freedom fighting army. He regularly comes with incredibly ill informed takes. In the past I've seen him so thoroughly misunderstand the article he's quoting, I suspect he may be functionally illiterate. As far as I can tell he posts about Israel-Palestine non-stop all day long.

I strongly suspect he also uses alts to upvote his own comments and submissions, because he once mistakenly replied to my comment quoting someone else. I pointed out I was a different person, but his reply was highly upvoted anyway.

I really should block him, but he can be amusing. Obviously the whole '''they''' control the media thing is icky. But I suppose he does less harm here in the fediverse where few will see his self important rants anyway.

can you link it?

Apparently the original comment was (unsurprisingly) nuked by mods.

Here's a more recent interaction where I ask him to confirm if he still believes all western media are controlled by the Zionists:

nothing there shows them saying Jews control all the media.

I just see bad faith engagement with their nuanced point.

Please also link to my latest post proving that an ex IDF intelligence soldier without journalistic background wrote the false rape accusation article for New York Times.

what?

[–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Oh, he mistakenly replied to my comment and quoted someone else.

I pointed out it was someone else who had said that, but he didn't seem to understand and that I had literally not said that. His reply was upvoted anyway.

Basically something like this:

Me: I like apples. +0

Him: How dare you say "I like driving in my car." +10

Me: ? I think you're quoting someone else? +0

Him: No. Clearly blablabla. +10

Anyway, that's how I remember it. Please don't ask me to trawl through a hundred pages of his comments. Please. I'd rather stick a spoon up my peepee. LOL

You think it might have something to do with people agreeing with me and not with your pro israel takes? No everyone must be a bot.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Oh shit, I’d misread that and assumed it was him carrying on a conversation from an alt as in forgetting to change accounts.

But nope thats just some brain dead logic to assume someone is botting. Its like this is the users first time experiencing “reddit hivemind” voting patterns and using that as their reasoning.

Please report this bozo and his alts whenever you see him, don't need sockpuppets here

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Who's the bozo though, me or Hyperreality which keeps screaming that Zionism equals Judaism and criticism of israel is anti Semitic?

Hyperreality is a fervent defender of israel in every thread.

It's sad to see that someone who posts a wall of complete nonsense with multiples lies such as me calling Hamas "freedom fighters" somehow gets taken seriously.

Looking through comment histories and I see you defending a cop pulling a gun on a dying mans charred body?

Looking through OPs comment history and I see posts like so, filled with some degree of fact based explanations.

I’ll admit your posts have a better mastery of English on display, but OPs coming through with the better and informed takes from my brief first page pass.
