Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

At this point in time, the only conclusion I can draw is that most of the people on Lemmy have the political maturity of a 13 year old.
Most people on the internet, as it turns out.
Supporting extremely documented genocide when your team does it is very mature, agreed, we're all very smart and adulting.
Most people in general
See? I also threw a strawman reply, so now you look like a jagoff! What a great contribution we have both made to the thread, let's keep at it /s
If we're talking about funding genocide, I'm against it. I'm comfortable with the assertion that those who disagree with me on the subject have no conscience. If you want to dispute that, do so directly, and I'll gladly have that conversation.
I also believe my viewpoint is objectively right, and anyone who disagrees with me must support genocide. I'm also very comfy thinking people who disagree with me must be by definition incapable of empathy. If you disagree with this assessment, please list your points directly and I'll explain how I am righteous and you are a very bad no good sinner ;)
Genocide is wrong. You're mocking me for saying so. Ok. Says more about you than it does me.
Lemmy's favourite source seems to be Qatar state media, so what do you expect?
This isnt a "hypothetical genocide," this guy literally is supporting israeli slaughter of palestinians.
As in, openly states his political stance of being pro israel. Not a hypothetical.
"Genocide is bad."
snark snark teehee wink

Hello fellow yinzer!
It's very obvious after spending like 10 min on Lemmy. No one in the real world listens to these bullshit takes.
