You can't remain civil with people trying to downplay genocide through deflection, downscale, and redirection.

If you are trying to articulate why this bothers you, the reader, as it does me then allow me to attempt an articulation:

Giving this person free reign is not civility but license to exercise the normalization of genocide by painting its dissidents as irrational and uncouth; a license to dehumanize the victims of genocide as lost causes because Hamas has disqualified them from human protections. In other words, they are the white moderate from MLK's reference. Paraphrasing for the modern times: I want to sympathize with your plight but it is unseemly to do so.

According to them they also aren't pro idf as they use all the IDF talking points.

This is why all debate perverts should be linked with PPB

News mods not making themselves look any better.

Amazing how only the one saying no look at hamas not the genocide or war crimes is okay.

Demanding/enforcing 'civility' to shut down opposition in a discussion about an ongoing genocide is perverse

Especially when only applied to those anti genocide

How's that one joke go? Two guys are standing in line at Auschwitz for the gas chamber. One of them starts complaining about Hitler and the SS. The other inmate tells him to quiet down or he'll cause a scene.

There's an actual punchline but I forget what it is.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
