So many things to touch on here. First, calling those who protest against the genocide in Gaze “performers who aren’t seen by anyone” is just a result of the intense alienation of late capitalism / imperialism. The nihilistic capitalist feeling that nothing we do matters makes those who care appear to be freaks to those who don’t care. Community is replaced by detached, sarcastic snark.

Second, the commenter blaming pro-Palestine comments on Russia and/or bots is just the icing on the redditer cake.

Third, saying that protesters are “exacerbating the problem,” and not acknowledging that the IOF, the countries supplying weapons to Israel, or everyone else who refuses to do BDS are the ones actually exacerbating the problem is one of the worst case of ignoring material reality in favor of pure idealism that I’ve ever seen.
