I'm trying not to feel picked on, I don't think I'm a normie by any stretch of hope or imagination, but I am kind of the anti-spez crowd and I definitely left Reddit completely after all that nonsense.

I'm certainly not blood thirsty, but I do think some people represent an outsized portion of the violent inspiration in the world. I think their anguish is too great for us to endure and they must necessarily be caged so that polite society may live. I definitely don't take the cage lightly or seek excuses to put more people in them, but fuck man these are some bad dudes.

It was wild, I couldn't believe what I saw when I poked my head in, I was so turned off by it I haven't been back. Usually the memes on NCD were nuanced and made fun of a niche aspect about the war, but last time I was there it was this frenzy about murdering palestinians. No jokes, no elaboration, nothing. It felt so unnatural for NCD that I started thinking the comments and posts were astroturfed. Because when I checked NCD here on Lemmy the post felt more in line of what I would expect, funny but not vitriolic.
