  • It’s more subtle than simply being pro genocide explicitly, manifests more as things like criticism of things like “terrorism” in only one direction, or ‘both sides’. Everyone in this thread who is agreeing with Sunshine dragging hamid for “praising hamas” is pro genocide as far as I’m concerned, they’re all just soooo concerned about making sure both sides get criticism. Disgusting behavior.

    My experience has been that hexbear is not pro russia as much as they’re critical of it but also don’t buy the euromaiden was-not-a-coup narrative. Most of the .world side of lemmy is far more vocally supportive of Ukraine to the point of having entire comms dedicated to grisly snuff flims and thinly veiled ethnic slurs.

    I see your comparison, hexbear is “pro russia” in a way that their criticism of both sides is exaggerated for effect, and .world is “pro genocide” in a way that their criticism of both sides is exaggerated for effect. The problem I have is that while it can be summarized as such, there’s a distinct difference between the two when it comes to power. The war in Ukraine is essentially peer-level conflict between capitalist powers while in Palestine a colonial occupier is using a flimsy pretext to exterminate a captive population with full bipartisan US participation.





  • I am a bit cynical, but there’s a type of person who always seems to be ready to pick up whatever the current democrat line is. When Biden was in office it was endless excuses, somehow Israel was just this totally independent country and when they weren’t acting helpless it was handwringing about terrorism. Biden had no control over any of this but now suddenly when it’s Trump on top they’re all in opposition. If there’s been any introspection it certainly hasn’t extended to any other geopolitical narratives either.
