    So first, your gonna get a semi-apology, I was out of line on the stalking comment.

    Second, I am actually (despite what you think) very sorry for the poor bastards living in Gaza right now. I have said as much many times but because I dont add ‘kill all the jews’, this is where the downvotes come, because that seems to be the only appropriate opinion to have around here these days. If I cared about votes, i’d just shutup and laugh and the bloodthirsty lunatics, but I like to comment, and dont care about fake points.

    Third, tankie, is a derrogatory term for someone who is a bit of an armchair leninist, plenty around here. I tend to use it in situations where it isnt specifically relevant where the confusion may arise. From memory you also asked about ‘Cooker’ yesterday. In australia, we refer to antivax, conspiracy nuts as ‘cookers’ (meaning their brain is cooked). Think of them like MAGA people in america if that helps.

    I hope this clears it up. Im actually gonna duck out for a bit as the comments are getting a bit heated, and beleive it or not, I want peace in the middle east and peace on lemmy! Neither side will comprise in the ME, but I will on lemmy right now, because theres too much hate in the world. Have a good night/day

      Thank you for writing this.

      I have said as much many times but because I dont add ‘kill all the jews’, this is where the downvotes come,

      Hmmmm, not sure how our instances differ, but honestly I don’t see why anyone would upvote something like ‘kill all the jews’. I haven’t seen this on lemmy at all. Seems to me like it’s quite the opposite actually. I think a lot of the pushback you are getting is not because of that.

      Thanks. This is not what I think about when I hear ‘tankie’. Your definition differs from that of many on the internet

      From memory you also asked about ‘Cooker’ yesterday. In australia, we refer to antivax, conspiracy nuts as ‘cookers’ (meaning their brain is cooked). Think of them like MAGA people in america if that helps. Thanks for explaining. I went to the urban dictionary when you said this word twice, and the definitions were too many to be able to pinpoint which one you meant. Please keep in mind that not everyone understands Australian-specific words. That’s why I asked.

      Have a good night/day Hope you get some rest, the news can be overwhelming at times.
