I don’t consider this acceptable simply because it happens randomly.

        I know I personally was drawn to hexbear specifically because there was so much outcry about it on .world I felt inclined ti check for myself, leading me to discover that hexbear was actually pretty cool

        honestly them complaining about you guys is what made me more open to MLs. I was glad that there were people that didn’t just see the western point of view, and yeah, I checked out what you were all about. Thanks a bunch!

        Back in the CTH days the whole reason I checked out CTH was because it was a boogeyman throughout reddit. People were terrified of them.

        I realised I didnt actually answer the question, I’d say75% chance that they don’t think it’s genocide, but if asked they’ll tell you it’s a really complicated situation. They’ll do the Joe Rogan method of having a fully formed opinion that they can easily backpedal as being uninformed at the first sign of opposition.

        I’d be interested in finding out, but part of me thinks, based on the profile picture, that this [user] never has much to say about anything important and when they* do it’s bothsides-ism, but only so long as both sides means “both kinds of liberals.”

        Edit: removed habitual use of the term guy *again, habitual gendered language that I failed to catch as I was typing.
