Just the other day I had to block this idiot from harassing me, claiming I was faking ignorance about Trump's stance on Israel so I could "bait Americans into a discussion", for some reason. I'm European, I don't follow presidential candidate policies very closely at all. This tool was also European, and Palestinian. I don't know why they were insisting so hard I would do this inexplicably weird thing, but maybe their emotions were running high. I'm against genocide btw, of course. ✊
Sounds like a similar experience I've had. They even spammed all my posts in my history accusing me of being a Russian bot lol
It's a small community, maybe we are talking about the same person
Might be! Maybe they were the real bot, eh.
Please forgive them. Many people in the USA are going to literally die depending on what happens in the next month, so yes emotions are running quite high right now. You stepped into a VERY active minefield there:-).
Oh, but definitely block them - I mean forgive as in don't let it weight you down, but absolutely cut that noise out of your life.:-)
No joke.
But they were European too so that's what baffled me a bit. And they were so adamant and stubborn about "calling me out" on pretending not to know Trump's stance on Israel lol. Such a random thing to pretend...
Yeah that person was pure and utter life noise. Begone!
I don't know the specifics of those particular circumstance, but... sometimes people on the internet lie! It's been known to happen a few times, at least:-).
lol, indeed they do, but probably about more interesting things than this 💀
I usually just block everyone that posts about politics in general. Shit is annoying af.
Politics is an annoying part of life, for sure, but I was engaged in the conversation so I guess I have some part in it.
I mean, you can (and should) pay attention to politics IRL to stay informed and make informed choices. But blocking out politics on social media, though, is quite understandable and often necessary for sanity.
Yeah, people don't carry on with sane discussions under full anonymity 😞
