"Man who supports genocide says, what the fuck. More at 7"
Oh I’d LOVE to see you show your work on this. Let’s see proof of this accusation.
Id love for you to do your own labor instead of expecting others to do it for you.
There’s the proof I needed that you haven’t got shit.
Extraordinary claims, bud.
So 3 weeks ago when I posted this angry reaction, Stephen King was all in on Vice President Harris and her platform. I felt based on VP Harris's inaction on helping Palestine that she is helping to continue a genocide. If Mr King is all in on VP Harris, then he too supports genocide per the transitive property. So my "claim" of posting a reactive comment is just that. There you go. You're welcome.
That’s all you had to say from the beginning. But instead, you posted as if it were factual. I asked for receipts, and you validated that you had none.
Oh, and so you don’t make such an ignorant mistake in the future- someone NOT doing something doesn’t directly translate to them being in support of something else. I know how much this line of thinking is the basis for essentially the entirely of far left ideology…
But it’s dumb. So….
Stop doing it.
nah, I'm good. If you're looking for cited facts in the comments of a lemmy post then you're a fucking idiot.
Ahhh… so because it’s lemmy, you feel free to just say any bullshit you feel you need to? Cool.
Thanks for at least admitting you’re full of shit. That was a lot easier than it usually is.
are you new to how this works?
Lies? Not at all. I just don’t see people so willingly admit to them as you have.
It’s refreshing!
opinions are lies now? are you normally such a proud bootlicker?
edit - i know how youre going to respond. i know we dont agree. Feel free to respond, but I just wanted to say that I do feel bad it devolved to name calling. My bad on that.
So…. Instead of removing the name calling. You’re leaving it and apologizing for it instead? This is about as bad-faith as it gets bud.
I thought that removing it would be seen as trying to hide my actions. I left it up to take responsibility for what I said. I can remove it and leave the apology if you would feel better.
Honestly don’t care man. Do whoever you’d like.
Everythings genocide with you ppl. Get a clue and realize America is extremely pro Israel. You're in the cast minority and nothing will change no matter how hard you demonize Democrats you're just going to end up with trump who'll be worse.
To be fair, that’s pretty much every American. They’re all blood thirsty monsters. Just watch them come to tell me I’m a Nazi for not supporting a second holocaust lmfao
I'm American and the only thing I want to holocaust is these goddamn mosquitos.
Wide sweeping generalizations of an entire population is quite literally the problem.
Jawohl, mein Führer 🙄
