Kinda makes sense why he lied and deleted my comment for “genocide denial” previously. Makes it easier to ban someone down the line and have it seem justified. Apparently, I’m simultaneously denying a genocide and engaging in apologia.
Don’t forget everyone:
- Criticising a mod == genocide apologia.
- Disputing a regular poster to a mods comm about Hasan using his own clip == genocide denial.
Preemptively for all the idiots who played right into this guys hands last time, didn’t deny the genocide in Palestine and still don’t.
Appreciate the reply as I was pretty frustrated by the responses I got. I even explicitly (in other comment and dm to Token) made it clear I don’t deny the genocide, made no difference. Anyway, thanks again.
I think there are a lot of accounts on Lemmy that make a little cottage industry out of making accusations of genocide apologia any time they want to vilify someone. I think they also have multiple accounts (or coordinate between themselves), so that it’s a tide of people making the same bizarro-logic attack, which of course other people then join in on because groupthink. As you’ve experienced it is pretty effective. Chin up lad, you’re fine, they’re just being dishonest and vicious for whatever reasons of their own.
