The Reddit threads on it are full of imperialist, pro status-quo replies. Big yuck. “But they’re, legally speaking, terrorists who have damaged our bases[read: actually do something against British capacities to support the colonial genocide in Palestine]!!!” Every so often I forget these horrible people must exist for the system to function, else we’d be having better lives and communities already.
yeah this is what i imagine whenever i read the reddit replies of posts related to israel , enemies of israel , or something Islamophobic . unfortunately im starting to see the same pattern in lemmy , specially in .world
.world seems to be getting a bit worse again lately. They tuned down a bit last year but whenever US election season is near the turbolibs come with it.
While there are many people that are genuinely that daft take heart in remembering that reddit is heavily astroturfed by US/UK psyops and a lot of those posting and upvoting are soldiers paid to sway opinion using bot armies.
