I feel like this person is trolling the thread and I am sorry because this is exactly what you are talking about. I don’t think this person is sincere at all …
Given that their community has already been banned from other instances (and the behavior of said community in this post already) you're probably correct.
I suppose this post has worked as a sort of lightning rod to draw them out, unintentionally.
You don’t understand the history of lemmy’s main instance relationship with those they dont agree with, they are quick to block anyone they dont agree with politically, i got banned from lemmy for the sin of posting a fox news link and they told me only nazis post fox news links, not a joke like thats for rizze on the real
The world's a big place. For many people, when we watch or encounter any content from fox news, it's extremely obvious how they are lying and trying to manipulate the viewers/readers into conservative and reactionary positions. So when people unironically consume their content, it's quite alarming to those of us who understand what they are doing. We know that your thoughts and opinions are probably warped by the propaganda you have been consuming.
I'm not going to downvote you because I feel that you're at least trying to be reasonable. But I just wanted to attempt to explain why people are going to be hostile to conservatives like you and why it's actually not crazy for them to behave that way.
I can attest to that
He is being sincere.
What about anything he said makes you think he is not being sincere?
Not trolling, ill prove you wrong with my actions
You shouldn't have to. You have done or said nothing wrong here, what I am seeing here though is a lot of hatred on their end for no reason. And this assumption that sense we watch Fox News, that they have justification to be assholes.
This is blatant hypocrisy. And quite frankly I'm getting fucking tired of it. This is usually why I don't walk on eggshells for anybody on the internet speak my mind and call people out on their bullshit
