FlyingSquid is a Zionist who actively censors content critical of israel. In the past this was using false claims of anti-semitism but after acquiring mod powers he has started banning anti-israel posters.
After acuiquiring mod powers on /WorldNews FlyingSquid bans me by making up lies about defending the usage of child soldiers which never happened:
Recently he tried to defend himself by lying about it
After being called out for lying FlyingSquid pretends to act in good faith for a little as if he was just confused that day. Let’s see what happens when we play along:
When pointed out the he was lying the crybully instantly paints himself as the victim who is “about to be insulted”. FlyingSquid is clearly trying to bait an insult to use as an excuse for a reban:
Despite not being insulted, the crybully still claims he was. The Zionist victim complex is a sight to behold. He now demands to be acknowledged for his abuse of mod powers likely hoping to bait an insult:
After failing to ragebait insults the Zionist crybully “changes is his mind” and starts tacking on random extra conditions as an excuse to reban me. He now starts demanding acknowledgement for how amazing he is for falsely banning people.
At this point it is very obvious FlyingSquid has no intentions to unban me from WorldNews and is just trolling:
Subsequently he lies one more time in his ban description.
Edit: JordanLund has joined in and claimed that if you support any action of a group or individual, you fully support every action that group or invidividual has ever committed. Meaning that anyone who supports Joe Biden forgiving Student Loans actually supports the Genocide in Gaza and is a Zionist.
Edit2;
It’s the problem of the self radicalized single issue voter. It can happen on the left as easily as on the right. The problem is we really don’t have any effective ways of piercing such radicalization.
Honestly outside of screaming that everyone that disagrees with them is a Zionist. Or the houthi thing. I don’t strictly disagree with much of what they post. And nobody likes the tone police. But it’s simply a fact that at some point any of us can become a bigger liability to our cause than an asset. Passion is great. But passion without logic or rationality will always be a liability.
That’s the thing that kills me too, if Linkerbaan and I were to sit down and talk over dinner, I’m sure we’d find we agree on more things than we disagree on. It’s just those few things are like nitro glycerin for him.
Yeah, probably 80% of their posts are good information that should be spread. But the posts and constant comments about how everyone who disputes anything they say “loves genocide” or “supports genocide” show that they aren’t really in touch with reality, and their frequent calls to not vote for democrats, blind to how much worse trump was/would be, makes me want them gone from my feed.
They are doing damage. Literally acting against Palestine’s interest, convinced that they are helping (I assume they really believe so anyhow) and should continue being terminally online, posting and commenting every waking hour of every day. If nothing else this dude has a deep rooted obsession, even if they weren’t accusing 90% of the world of “loving genocide”.
I 100% agree and have told them as much to their face several times. They’re doing more harm than good. Unfortunately that just gets them screaming more, often. And this one may be the worst. But they’re not alone by a long shot.
The worst of it is whether their intentions are good or bad. They are using this presidential election cycle and the candidates as a shooting range for their grievances. Rather than dealing with the congress. And getting Congress people elected that would actually make things better. My State lost a pro Palestine Congress person recently. New York did as well. And part of it is a lot of the propaganda but also the tone around the people pushing back against the propaganda. When you lash out at allies or potential allies when they give you slight pushback. You’re definitely doing it wrong.
Linkerbaan is just constantly trolling instead of participating. There are plenty of people on .world who are able to express how the situation is despicable without the same deliberate bad faith.
Yes I have to give it to the mods they’ve been handling this well. Linkerbaan would like for the mods to lash out at them etc. In some way to justify their tantrum. I was there for the thread yesterday that linkerbaan started this with.
Flying squid was calm and mature throughout the whole thing. Linkerbaan acting like a teenage edgelord drama queen the whole time.
