It's fucking hilarious how similar leftist are to the right wing

They are not actually. You simply don't know the difference

They're not, they are criticizing that and having a more nuanced conversation about the role of capitalism in this situation.

That user is just obsessed with them. Even if they clearly have never been in those communities to see for themselves

I fully accept and recognize 100% of the damage Biden and Harris have done

You actually don't. And you wrote why yourself later

Why won't you recognize the objective fact that Trump is worse on almost every issue, especially this issue?

What is "worse" in this genocide? You, just like a lot of average Democrat people on both Lemmy and Reddit, have this idea. There's no "worse" genocide. All the atrocities that happened under Biden, will sadly simply continue to happen under Trump.

Just because you usually vote for the Democrats, it doesn't magically make their "genocide lite" more appealing...or exist. It's not a thing. Try telling someone from Palestine that things are about to get worse after all they've witnessed and see what they reply.

You, and everyone else guilty of this, are simply minimizing their experience and policing their voices. "I know you think this is already the end of you, your family and everything else you hold dear, but trust me, this other guy that I hate, is worse than witnessing your dear one being burned alive"

There was a choice between "continue" or "get worse".

Wrong, the choice in Palestine and Gaza has depressingly always been "continue" or "continue" with the genocide.

And that's why I felt sick by the comments. Because you (and everyone else in .world) is STILL doing this exact shit, after Palestinian people have been trying to tell you this for far over a year

That is truly a 5 years old understanding of the current conflict

While I do genuinely feel sorry that this roommate of yours behaved in such awful and shitty way, my point was about the larger communities as a whole. Especially now that there are openly fascist people in power in the US and in a lot of other countries, I believe it's even more important to be united. Or at least, as I quoted before, know where the differences lie.

That doesn't mean being supportive of wrong behaviors and/or people of course. Being critical of wrongdoing is an essential skill. But in my opinion one can't be as critical when generalizing about such large groups
