    OP edited out the tent behind the campus protester. I can’t remember the sign they held, but it was pro-Palestine.

        You “fixed” it by completely erasing the Palestinian genocide from the discourse. Do you see how absolutely heinous that is? “Oh genocide is controversial? Well I’ll just remove any mention of the genocide!”

          First, I addressed the issue by removing the utterly false smear of the pro-Palestine movement as self-obsessed and obstructionist in the face of human rights violations.

          Next, I reject your assertion that I “erased genocide from the discourse.” My intention was to redirect the focus of the post towards a more accurate target, not to dismiss the seriousness of genocide. I encourage you to reexamine the disclaimer included in the post, clarifying that it does not fully reflect my views, and understand that my aim was to be more sensitive to the efforts of the anti-genocide movement.

          Lastly, I kindly ask you to consider your tone. I prefer not to resort to reporting or blocking, but sudden abrasive behavior like this makes the platform unwelcoming for many users.

            The first meme was bad for sure but you made it worse. You literally took the Palestinian flag out of the picture. Its the reason all those people are not voting for Biden. And you then you slapped some generic meme shit over their sign, their opinions. As though all the students in the encampments aren’t in it for a specific just cause. Its even more disrespectful to the anti-genocide movement to not even mention the genocide.

            For all this the tone of my criticism is absolutely appropriate. It is harsh because you deserve harsh criticism.

            encourage you to reexamine the disclaimer included in the post, clarifying that it does not fully reflect my views

            If you dont stand with your posts then delete them.

                For those observing, this is a person who expects no consequences for their actions. I’ve criticized their actions and immediately its “watch your tone” while not engaging with the actual criticism. Now am I criticizing the individual themself.

            Erasing genocide discourse deserves abrasive criticism. You made the post even worse.
