I might occasionally be accused of being political, but yes. Lemmy is no escape. Many users from any instance will jam their politics into anything and everything, constantly. It’s genuinely weathering.
You want to vibe and chill? HOW DARE YOU! DONT YOU KNOW X IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!?!?!?!?
The Biden years were pretty chill too until every leftist in the country decided that carrying water for a terrorist organization was more important than keeping a fascist out of the most powerful office on earth.
What’s more important? Giving a voice to 2 million Palestinians who are always going to hate us anyway, or defending the entire free world from creeping authoritarianism?
Do you feel the trade-off was worth it? Do the Palestinians?
The situation was still salvageable when Israel’s fascist government was being restricted by American diplomatic pressure. Is the situation better now? Where will it be in another 4 years?
It wasn’t being restricted by American diplomatic pressure; the only thing American diplomatic pressure was being used for was to quash opposition to the genocide.
The genocide was every bit as unrestrained under Biden, and the only reason you think otherwise is because you were a genocide denier and apologist when it was your team doing it. In that sense, the situation is better now, because at least liberals are actually acknowledging what is happening, rather than engaging in endless denial and apologia.
No, that’s accelerationists anytime someone suggests taking the better of two bad options. No amount of protesting is going to make Palestinians and Israelis not want to kill each other, but some paths can limit the damage.
This conflict isn’t going to end in our lifetimes. Giving Israelis license to add an extra 50k to the scoreboard isn’t going to help anyone long term.
Starting to think of unsubing from technology, too often it’s about trump and musk. But it’s also one of the largest communities.
Problem when most active communities at least sometimes include US political bullshit is that few are left without it if you just want to block it. We are not all Americans, it isn’t helpful to constantly have US bullshit showing up. Hopefully as lemmy grows the smaller communities will grow and I can have a feed full of kayaking, Linux memes and homebrewing.

“everything was fine until people started saying genocide was bad”

“the situation is better now” says it all really.
Mate, that was literally you under the Biden administration. Talk about projection.

No, it was chill for you
