      Why are some of the comments marked exemplary?

      Oh users tag it. So the top comment about how it's all just hate and can't be explained got marked exemplary

      And then after stating their lib credentials proceeds to explain everything away using “hate.” Yup, that’s all that’s here to see. This group hates that group and they hate them back, and it’s a vicious hate that us westerners just can’t understand because of reasons I can’t explain because then it becomes obvious I’m racist and totally vibes based. And they’re so sure of this because of the simple fact, if there was no hate there would be no fighting. In conclusion, watch more movies and somehow that will mean less hate.

      Of fucking course a brain dead, all idealist, no materialist take would be the top “exemplary” comment.

        When people feel like they have to pick a side or can't make sense of what they are observing, I've given historical context and examples that helped them realize they don't need to pick a side and things are more complicated than they appear.

        See sweaty, here’s why the genocide is natural and inevitable and we just get to sit back and enjoy the show

      The thread is on the front page, and the comments are pretty bad, yeah. Liberal both-sides detachment about a genocide. I find it funny that there seem to be users with a tag called "Exemplary", and they all have the worst takes lol.

        "Remember the human" yeah except sometimes the human is a genocidal fuck that supports brown people being butchered en masse

        "Two sides to every issue" yeah and sometimes one of them is full of shit

        The older I get, the more I loathe these civility-brained dipshits that are removed enough from actual conflict to 'both-sides' people being exterminated

      It's the preferred social media of the richest, most divorced from reality tech bro I know.

      Take this as you will.

    They're sooo close to figuring out that punishing people for anti-fascist/anti-imperialist beliefs and not doing the same for pro-fascist ones turns a website into a right wing cesspit. They're so close to understanding why freezepeach is nothing but a dogwhistle to protect toxic views and is hypocritical at best.

    Don't worry, we will remember the human behind the screen that is pro genocide. We won't forget them because we need to make sure they're first against the wall.

    I was on that site during the early days. It's if @civility was a website. Of course I left when I realized civility doesn't appy if it's a bunch of anglos constantly being racist towards nonwhites.

    Remember the human. Not the ones that are being killed though. Forget about those.

    All differences are reconcilable if we just make the right inspirational speech about coming together!

      It's the name of a reddit-like forum in the same way that Lemmy is. It's not really Zoomer stuff.

        It's Hackernews for a bunch of whiny bazingas who think online forum etiquette is the most important thing on the planet.
