Does anyone else notice an uptick of extreme troll accounts? (lemmy.world)

I swear, ~~every time~~ most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I'd like to try exposing them before responding and interacting..

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I've started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they're burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I've noticed it!

Being anti-Israel is based.

The government, not the citizens, as per usual.

Yep, Israel is not Jews, and Jews are not Israel.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Beyond that even: not all Israelis share the way of thinking of the Government of Israel.

Plenty of decent people even in a country which has for decades been heavy in nationalism, delusions of inherent racial superiority and generally Zionist indoctrination.

They're probably the minority rather than the majority though.

I also do not view Israel as Israelis, or Israelis as Israel. Just like most of the US hates BOTH Biden and Trump, yet those are our options.

Plenty of decent people

Incorrect. They're settlers participating in the genocidal occupation of land that belongs to a sovereign people. This makes it impossible for them to be 'decent'. There are no 'civilians' among Israel's number.

...The citizens are participants in the settler-colonial project that is Palestine's Occupation. They deserve the same vitriol until they defect or otherwise become a non-issue to Palestinian sovereignty-- though MotoAsh is correct, Judaism is not Zionism. Judaism is merely another Abrahamic religion; Zionism is an ideology of occupation, colonialism, and genocide.

Nah yes their citizens too. Have you seen the video of them literally jumping clapping and cheering the destruction of people's homes?

The working class of every country has their respective 1%ers that need to be dealt with. Non violently, through electoral reform preferably.

Fuck first past the post voting. Intentionally limiting the number of viable options to pick from is NOT democracy.

Bibi is basically a centrist in Israel so I dont think that holds up. eg the humanitarian aid at some border crossings are being picketed by Israeli chuds. Sure there are some good Israelis but they aren't the norm.

Proving op point

I'm sorry, are you FOR regimes that openly commit genocides? Grow the fuck up or pull the mask off.
