Modlog might be the best thing about Lemmy. Kinda answers OP's question

If you don't want to hear about billionaires, I invite you to try.... billionaire controlled media! You will find they are scarcely mentioned at all, except to glorify the accomplishments of individual billionaires, with no consideration of class structure or generational privilege

Now I'm definitely on your side by temperament but my understanding is that they do this to try and build social bonding. (They don't have the capacity or inclination to bond by infodumping about their special interest(s))

Just imagine, being stuck in small talk for as many as 5 minutes!

People would rather burn the world down than add lifetime annotations SMH

The point isn't the thrill of the hunt, it's the ostentatious display of the trophy that you can show off to all your guests

Yes.

Socialception

When she stares in the camera without speaking like "you can't believe this guy either, right?"

Ahh, of course, I forgot that might makes right

Ahhh, of course, we are going to reach for the "Anti-Zionism = Anti- Semitism" defense. For the record, I make common cause with any Jewish people who oppose colonialism and genocide, like these honest and noble folks: https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/

Interesting, I wonder what happened immediately before the state of Israel declared Independence? Funny how you and the other occupiers never want to talk about the Nakba. Funny how you want to talk about declaring independence but not about displacing hundreds of thousands and destroying or colonizing hundreds of villages and towns.

How about this: return all the land that was taken in the Nakba, then we can stop talking about the destruction of the occupier state. Is that civil and fair enough for you? Or was it always about stealing the land from the beginning?

I don't really give a shit if resistance fighters check all the right civility boxes. The occupiers were already given most of the land in 1949, but that just wasn't enough. Fuck genocidal setters. Fuck false equivalence. Fuck apartheid. The PLO has played the civility game all these years, how has that worked out for them? Israel is an evil and corrupt society (the US is too).
