has twitter ever been such a shitty place? i have not found ONE single reply that isn’t genocide apologia. half of them are straight up saying KILL THESE SELFIE KIDS AND ALL THE PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS. like jesus christ what is wrong with people? i must gaslight myself into thinking surely all of them are israeli bots otherwise i cannot in good conscious continue to believe in the good of humanity.
Consider that it’s known that the hasbara machine includes paying people to post pro-genocide talking points on social media, so a lot of what you see can be people being paid to post that stuff, and some of them might be useful idiots who have heard the lie too many times and have interiorized it. It’s better to assume that every comment section has been astroturfed to shit and that nothing online is organic engagement anymore.
