Prior to the US election, there were many people that did this exact thing- only it was “oh yeah? Well… you support genocide!”
They’re rarely here anymore. Which is what was predicted that typically warranted their response to begin with.
Literally I see all the same names and sometimes still even saying the same things though mostly not cause there is other things to talk about.
You aren't seeing it cause you aren't engaging in hourly political threads because of an upcoming election. It's disingenuous to say the conversation has disappeared just because you aren't participating in it anymore.
I’m a mod in a relatively popular politically themed community. Trust me when I say that many of the people that were accusing everyone of genocide support are no longer actively posting.
…and make note that I said “many” and not “all-” as I am well aware of how nuance isn’t a very popular concept around here.
Lastly, for your edification: Not engaging in a discussion is not the equivalent to not reading it or not paying attention to it.
