This a better response that I was expecting. Sorry for poking you like this. Some people on Lemmy are really quick to call others zionists for disagreeing on any point they think is adjacent to Israel, which is where my comment came from. I don’t know about finitebanjo, I’ve not noticed.
Personally I like to keep you idiots on open comm so I can downvote, report, or otherwise make example of you. “Never interrupt your opponent while they’re making a mistake.”
So let’s get this straight, they called you a Zionist, I stood up for you, then you called me an idiot. Cool beans.
Edit: on the other hand you were nice to the person who baselessly called you a Zionist. So you’re exactly the kind of person I was criticizing. A weirdo who lobs that accusation without any hesitation.
To be clear, in case it wasn’t your intention, what you did was stand up for Zionists, which definitely doesn’t include me. I definitely agree some people here are using the word to label people it doesn’t apply to, but at the same time being skeptical of people for zionism is warranted because there have been and are currently bad actors promoting it.
I very obviously did not stand up for zionists, I mocked someone for being eager to label someone else a Zionist (I assumed incorrectly) and ya know what, I actually second guessed that and thought maybe they were right. Then you come along and insult me for actually being right about you? I don’t know where you’re getting that and it is definitely not worth the effort for me to try after this interaction.
Why don’t you block the “zIoNiStS”? No one would be left afterwards?
Umm no, it’s a minority, don’t start thinking Zionists make up the majority and implying it’s somehow valid because there are more than one.
I don’t block them because that is how it festers. You need to challenge them clearly, blocking them actually helps them.
