I have been banned from unpopularopinion for exposing person defending genocide and use of human shields by IDF.
One of the users in unpopularopinion thread was complaining about someone calling him a “fascist”

In response I did paste a screenshot of his comment claiming IDF are not using human shields, it is Hamas who do that:

… And the mod of unpopularopinion banned me. I can only guess he is a another genocide apologist.
Yikes.
So this person blatantly apologizes warcrimes, then edits to make clear they were just being “specific”, which is technically possible but really fucking convenient and shows VERY poor awareness at best.
Then another person complains about lemmy fostering extremist views which exposes themselves as lobotomized because they are falling prey to the “centrism” fallacy.
Then they ban you for trying to expose their bigotted views on that thread? Did i catch that correctly?

I dont know what to say to that. This is turning darker at every corner and in germany it is “controversial” to say a genocide is happening in gaza and israel should be stopped by any means necessary. It is like watching a very bad, very gruesome horror movie.

Yes - and the mod just doubled down on his ridiculous behaviour.
Yeah okay. Ptb indeed.
They are not known for good takes. Only surprised they mod a community on world not their own dubvee instance
