Literally just yesterday, someone responded to a comment of mine about the peace deal “there is a genocide going on, they’re just freedom fighters” in reference to Hamas. LMAO
Oh its a common sentiment on this site - that wasn’t the first, or second, or third, time someone has said something similar. There’s a common thing here where people look at a losing side and think it’s a cause worthy of their support

Ok, fair enough
That was well put, I don’t know why all the downvotes?

How long is your instance blocklist that this one left as a common sentiment?

Hard to tell, the latter ones are usually eerily quite or will deflect when pressed about the first one.
