      OP edited out the tent behind the campus protester. I can’t remember the sign they held, but it was pro-Palestine.

          You “fixed” it by completely erasing the Palestinian genocide from the discourse. Do you see how absolutely heinous that is? “Oh genocide is controversial? Well I’ll just remove any mention of the genocide!”

            First, I addressed the issue by removing the utterly false smear of the pro-Palestine movement as self-obsessed and obstructionist in the face of human rights violations.

            Next, I reject your assertion that I “erased genocide from the discourse.” My intention was to redirect the focus of the post towards a more accurate target, not to dismiss the seriousness of genocide. I encourage you to reexamine the disclaimer included in the post, clarifying that it does not fully reflect my views, and understand that my aim was to be more sensitive to the efforts of the anti-genocide movement.

            Lastly, I kindly ask you to consider your tone. I prefer not to resort to reporting or blocking, but sudden abrasive behavior like this makes the platform unwelcoming for many users.

              The first meme was bad for sure but you made it worse. You literally took the Palestinian flag out of the picture. Its the reason all those people are not voting for Biden. And you then you slapped some generic meme shit over their sign, their opinions. As though all the students in the encampments aren’t in it for a specific just cause. Its even more disrespectful to the anti-genocide movement to not even mention the genocide.

              For all this the tone of my criticism is absolutely appropriate. It is harsh because you deserve harsh criticism.

              encourage you to reexamine the disclaimer included in the post, clarifying that it does not fully reflect my views

              If you dont stand with your posts then delete them.

                  For those observing, this is a person who expects no consequences for their actions. I’ve criticized their actions and immediately its “watch your tone” while not engaging with the actual criticism. Now am I criticizing the individual themself.

              Erasing genocide discourse deserves abrasive criticism. You made the post even worse.

      A student with a tent and a Palestinian flag.

      The original was ment to criticize those who criticize Biden over Palestine. They got rattled at the prospect of a Trump presidency and defend Biden in any situation.

        Don’t put words in my mouth, thanks, the original was meant to point out that third party voters are voting to make all the depicted issues infinitely worse, including and especially Gaza.

          Democrat voters are the ones voting to make all the depicted issues infinitely worse. Third party voters are fixing them.

            Third party candidates might aim to fix those issues, sure. Unfortunately, so long as our elections remain First Past the Post, third party candidates are not viable. In this system, third party voters aren’t fixing anything.

        Yeah almost like we fucking know better about where any of this moral criticism is headed for after 2016.

        It’s really fucking hard to be taken seriously about how inexcusable genocide is when you’re touting that line in defense of letting the genocide come here too, which is what many of these fake Palestine supporters are trying to get away with.

        I don’t have a problem with people who are protesting to support my people, I have a problem with the people who are gonna drop my people like a molten lead weight the second the polls close this year.

        There was no mention of Biden. And no criticism of Palestine in the original.
