  • Thank you for this! Anecdotally, I’ve been seeing this trend across all of the social media I use, and I think this is kind of solidifying a theory I’ve had for a while that there is some sort of active campaign to use this as a wedge issue to split the Democrat base.

    Post-elections, I was seeing a lot less Israel-Palestine comments, but after the holidays I noticed an uptick again, which is consistent with your graph, and also with the rumors of Biden’s ceasefire on the news.

    There isn’t any confirmed data to show that the anti-Genocide “stay at home” vote had any reasonable impact on the elections, but there are a lot of comments on multiple social media platforms I use that have people saying they didn’t vote because of this single issue…and on Lemmy specifically most of them are 6-9 month old accounts. There are also many comments that are specifically blaming those voters for the election loss, and around 50% of them are also in the 6-9 month range. Too young of accounts to be from the Reddit exodus.

    I’m slowly noting these as I see them because I’m not an admin or mod, just a regular user, and also my instance is pretty good about blocking bots. But something really odd is going on.











  • No, we shouldn’t just dismiss this. My friend is a teacher in Arizona and she had some sort of agents come to their school and pull kids out of classes. Allegedly they were going to use them as “bait” to get the parents, but the school was being tight lipped about it when the teachers were asking questions.

    Dismissing this shit the first time around is how so many children’s whereabouts are still lost in the ICE system today. Don’t dismiss this as just conjecture just because the news isn’t reporting it.



  • Lemme validate you, Snot, SHIT SUCKS ASS.

    My trans bestie says the only reason she isn’t offing herself is because if she does then they win, and she’d would rather die throwing a molotov at a faschie than doing their job for them.

    Idk if that helps. Shit sucks. This wasn’t very hopecore.
