I'm sorry it's not clear enough to you that someone advocating for mass forcible relocation of Palestinian children is a fascism apologist. I'm not here to "debate Nazis and own them epically", I'm here to call out Nazism and mods should be here to enforce anti-nazi bans.
It's not my fault that this person is a Nazi, it's your fault that these people are allowed at all in the mainstream. "You made me support the genocide of Palestinians by calling me a bad word!!!!"
Alright fair enough. I agree it's not complicated and anything to suggest otherwise appears to be Nazi apologia. But hear me out: Its unfortunately not so obvious to a lot of people. My own father falls for conservative extremist propaganda because pumping someone with hate makes them forget to think critically. How easy is it to convince someone to hate a group of people whom they have had no interaction with? Apparently very easy if you are a billionaire controlling the media.
Unfortunately we can't stop genocide without convincing people its happening. And we can't convince people out of the mindspace they put themselves in.
I do activism in my private life to prevent genocide, such as participating in the sabotage of La Vuelta Ciclista or in the mass protest last Sunday in Madrid with my communist organization. It is not through convincing people on social networks to stop genocide, it is through organized action calling for a general strike in my country on the 15th of October to break all relations, economic and diplomatic, with the genocidal entity.
On Lemmy, I simply want people not to be exposed to sprawling fascist viewpoints as in the case of this comment section, hopefully by amplifying the pro-Palestinian voices and shutting down the pro-genocide ones, we can get this space to be a beacon of ideology.
Alright fine this is probably out of my depth since you do a lot of things which i don't. But on a tangent: Do you think we can stop this genocide by moderation alone? Is there no place for convincing people? or in other words you don't believe there is ignorance here?
I believe some people can be convinced and some can't. I don't think I'm going to convince a random lemmitor arguing for the mass forcible relocation of Palestinian children, I can engage in more nuanced discussion with people who truly don't understand but care about the topic
