The only thing that’s changed is all the good modetators have left and the default subs have gotten worse.

God forbid you say anything mildly positive of Palestine on the main politics site. The AIPAC hired mods immediately permaban you.

October 7 was a disgrace, Hamas must be destroyed because they don’t ever want a lasting cease fire. Israel’s authoritarian leadership eats dick and must be deradicalised for any chance of lasting peace. What are people gonna do? Down vote me? Please do who gives a shit?

You can thank George Bush, the previous terrible choice of most Convicted Rapist Treason Trump voters, for the process that led Hamas to power in Gaza.

I can see this may have been the case. It’s easy to make peace in the moment if you give concessions to the more powerful side. The problem that arises is that it creates an underlying contempt from the weaker side that doesn’t just go away. Especially if there is a sense of humiliation and powerlessness from the deal. The only way for peace is for both sides to give concessions and refocus on common problems with common solutions.

It's not just the mods, the users are awful on this issue as well. I noticed that someone was going through my user history and downvoting everything I had ever posted because I had the temerity to make a pro Palestine comment on one of the bigger politics subs. I'm not sure if that's a known tactic but honestly it was chilling to think someone was that mad about a single comment that didn't agree with what Israel's doing in Gaza
