There was one exchange I recently had with an obvious Israeli.
Guy just kept saying didn't understand and such any time I asked why European colonizers had any right to middle eastern land, without involving an imaginary sky man.
Then he/she shut up when I asked about the cultural genocide and infant stealing inflicted on the Mizrahi Jews, and the involuntary birth control given to Ethiopian Jews.
Fascism is an ever shrinking circle.
Yeah it's almost impossible to convince people on the Internet of anything, nevertheless to get them to see things from other people's perspectives.
The worst part is if arguing against genocide won't change someone's mind there, then nothing would. People are so into their own little bubbles nowadays, that they've forgotten how to change their opinions based on new facts presented to them and just say they were wrong. It really sucks.
Everytime I want to prove a good point, I end up deleting the reply and think "what's the point? They won't listen to me and will just go back and forth with me without budging even a little bit".
Lemmy isn't perfect or anything, but it's not even close to how fucked up Reddit comments can be. Which is crazy because Reddit is usually pretty strict nowadays (at least it was a few years ago before I left with the API changes)
