Do you have a criteria for what qualifies as block-worthy offence or are you just doing it when you feel like it?

Bonus question: how long is your block list?

    Nah, there is no point interacting with people who are pro Israeli military action. Supportive of Israel sure whatever but the people who are happy that they are actively killing civilians and think it’s justified, just aren’t people that are worth talking to, discussing, or arguing with. You’re never going to be able to make them less shitty, all interacting with them is going to do is make your day worse. So block away, because conversation needs to be a two way street. If it’s already one way, may as well not have any traffic on it at all.

    This goes for any vitriolic and aggressive people, not just active genocide supporters, they’re just usually the ones I end up blocking. Tankies too but since I filtered ml I see way less of that shit.

      Well I’d say what you are describing is similar to using a screwdriver to hammer in a nail, and then giving up after the 5th time fails.

      Its not the goal thats impossible, its your methods. There are people changing peoples minds out there but they aren’t doing it with unwavering arguments and unbeatable logic.

        Can I hammer a nail with my forehead? Maybe, if I try enough times. However, it fucking hurts, and there are literally thousands of nails to go. It just is not worth the personal cost.
