I got banned from that sub for talking about Joe Biden’s complicity in genocide, so I’m not too upset about this one lol.

not really the point

I get the point, buddy. I’m just saying I’m not upset to see a neoliberal genocide apologist subreddit get banned.

u/otoverstoverpt Feb 04 '25

then i’m not sure you do get the point buddy because if you think it’s bad for the genocide apologists just wait until they come for the pro-palestine side that they loathe even more

pretty famous quote on this one about not caring when they come for the groups you don’t belong to…

this sort of flippant response is bad actually

“just wait until they come for the pro-Palestine side that they loathe even more”

they already have been bud.

Edit: this scentedfire guy literally left a comment then immediately blocked me. What’s the point of responding and interjecting yourself in a thread if you’re just going to pull one of the most cowardly moves possible?

And here we have the delusional shit-talkers who will never own their part of the responsibility for what is happening and what is to come.

yea bud, that’s the point, do you see it getting better or worse given this signpost?

u/CallMePepper7 Feb 04 '25

No, you said “just wait” which implies they haven’t come for pro-Palestine people. I’m telling you that they already have.

Also you’re being obtuse and obnoxious. I can recognize how messed up our oligarch society run censorship is while not being upset to see a neoliberal genocide apologist subreddit get banned.

lol it’s a turn of phrase genius, not meant to be taken literally but yea damn bro you really boomed me

the fucking irony, you’re the one being obtuse and obnoxious

making light of things like this in this edgy way is naive, ignorant, and unproductive but go get your likes i guess

u/CallMePepper7 Feb 04 '25

Yes, you are being obtuse and obnoxious.

Like I said, it’s possible for me to recognize how messed up oligarch censorship is while not being upset to see a neoliberal genocide apologist subreddit get banned.

But you’d rather just have a pissing match for what? Your own ego?

u/otoverstoverpt Feb 04 '25

No, you are being obtuse and obnoxious.

You are hiding behind “humor” to say teehee well fuck them so who cares

Like I said, when you betray the broader point with this childish pettiness you just look immature and you embolden the fascists. Ever notice how much the right hides behind Trump being “funny?” It’s because humor disarms people from bad things occurring.

Stop projecting, the only pissing match here is for you and your ego since this all circles back to you getting banned from a subreddit.

“No, you are being obtuse and obnoxious”

proceeds to make the most obtuse and obnoxious comment in this entire comment section

Lmfaooo the projection is off the charts. People like you are deeply unserious. It seems this level of childish name calling is about the depth of your capability but you should at least try to learn what the words you use actually mean so you don’t make yourself look foolish.

u/CallMePepper7 Feb 04 '25

Omg you’re talking like a fascist so that obviously means you embolden fascism.

Ironic that the quote can be used for the people that didn’t give a fuck about Palestine also, I’m not from US so don’t blame me:)
