The individual in the screenshot here has convinced themselves that they have figured out every problem in the world and I genuinely do not think I have seen that person interact with literally anyone else on this website without trying to lecture or debate them. I don't know what the fuck it is about this year that brought all the orientalism out of the fucking attic but jesus fucking christ it's bad.

jesus christ, some people have way too much time on their hands.
when someone feels oppressed or points out something that feels wrong, it is not up to them to give a detailed step by step improvement plane for the world to follow. the burden of proof doesn't lie in the person ranting for fuck's sake.
it's your own job, when challenged on an idea, to look into it, people who are already overly tired from all the bullshit shouldn't be expected to give you all the answers on a silver platter. do some introspection, let people breath.
and when someone puts their feelings into a word, criticizing the merits of the word chosen seems really dumb too ^^
Turns out that I had that one blocked already, and I went to look at the note I'd made for why: "Reacting to other people's real world experiences with a level of abstraction that feels frankly arrogant and dehumanising." Anyway, sorry you ran into them too.
I have her blocked for "We should move everyone out of Israel/Palestine and then nuke the entire area so people stop fighting over the land". Cross my heart and hope to die, that is not a straw man of her position.
Truly a gold medalist in the Worst Takes championship
yeah i scrolled down their profile and like the third post was casually calling Palestine a colonial country that shouldn't complain about Israel??? Not talking about subjects you don't understand is free.
I have the feeling that something like that will have prompted my own note and block, because that specific take sounds familiar. Anyway, safe to say there's a pattern there.
The sidebar in their profile, since I've just looked at it again, about the trolley problem, where they make no mention of the violent deaths of others - which is usually what makes it a "dilemma" for most people, who feel some aversion to causing pain, suffering, death to others - and they make it all about sacrificing their own innocence instead... That's pretty telling too.
Their horrid opinions and views combined with their display name is like a one-two punch of "what the hell are you even doing on this website"
If I recall correctly, this is the person I blocked when she came over from Tumblr in the hammercar wave because she basically said "how dare you chosters criticize us tumblrers for being toxic, without us this site was lifeless and had no sense of humor" (demonstrably untrue). Imagine not just trying to colonize a website but also just barefacedly admitting it. Anyway, I went to check to see how exact the wording was (and if it indeed was the same person) and that's how I found out she'd been banned ☺️
I kind of wish I'd reported her back then because it sounds like she's done a lot of harm since, but I guess I didn't have any faith that they would do anything about it. Glad they did, sorry she hurt so many people in the process.
(Also, imagine the caucasity of describing a point as "rambly" and then writing…that)
the zionism, islamophobia, and apathy to the palestinian cause I have seen on this site especially from big names on here is very fucking worrying to me.
I was going to look up info about this and discovered they'd been banned (and that banned accounts don't show up in search results, which probably isn't a bad thing if you're aware that's the case)
Was it a temp ban or are they ban evading?
I like your username btw
the specific account which posted that screed is banned, so I think neither — it's just a very fresh ban.
Isn't that the same person who made an equal-length ramble about how there's "no such thing as white culture, ackshually", and we should be looking at it from a basically nation-by-nation perspective ackshually
They sure are saying a lot of words and I sure wish there was a single expression to capture the long tired exhausted look and sigh this induced
Her self chosen title of triggerer of the toxic people really says a lot in combination with this, dont it
real 'don't be a dick [to wil wheaton in particular]' vibes
ohhh my god the audacity of this person to write an entire ESSAY about why they should get to be racist to you is horrifying why can’t this person get a hobby and leave you alone. im sorry you’ve been going through sm
Oh christ, this is the same person who came into my comments and spent hours arguing that any sort of spiritual beliefs was some sign of intellectual inferiority, and had the most buckwild map of "the borders that the world should go back to" covered in just the worst understanding of pre-colonial native peoples on...basically every continent pinned to their page for a while. They are absolutely unhinged.
oh hell, I saw that display name a day or two ago and didn't even read the (different, but similarly long) comment it was attached to
reviewing the other comments here I'm torn between "glad I didn't expose myself to that" and "missed a chance to block sooner"
in reply to @CERESUltra's post:
she came to me talking about how the kids these days just didn't understand nuance and neither did anyone else and then proceeded to make the least nuanced argument about israel/palestine out of nowhere as an example of it (or, rather, an example of why everyone yelled at her when she was 'just talking about the nuance'), and kept getting more and more angry every time I pointed out she was being the world's dullest hypocrite
and I honestly don't know if it's her friend group or that she tricked herself into thinking she was blocking the people who were wrong, but, yeah even I didn't expect... this. But I'm deeply un-surprised :\
I think there and in between there were hints at what lie below. the complete lack of naunce and self-awareness were there when she and I got in an argument months ago and it's why I threw a block at the end of it. Hopefully getting her ass run out of here is a wakeup call, but...who knows.
