I was under the impression that Israel’s active genocide has significantly increased support for Palestine, even within otherwise apolitical groups. It seems that the only entities still “really” supportive of Israel’s actions are Western governments and Zionists. With the widespread exposure of IOF atrocities on platforms like Twitter, it’s challenging to alter the narrative when such brutality is openly displayed.
Cant talk about the subreddit but that was my experience in some places that otherwise are not really that political.

Which is funny, because I remember when this all kicked off, libs were saying “This was a stupid move by Hamas! Their brutality will cost them all of their international support!” Except, of course, Hamas knows their enemy way better than any chauvinist lib. They knew Israel was going to be Israel, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was exactly what they were counting on.
That makes sense, I just very surprised. I popped in for dunktank farming and found a ton of Palestinian solidarity. This is the sort of place that I would not expect that from, hence the dunk tank farming attempt
I haven’t spent any time on Reddit since discovering Lemmy last summer, but what I remember of that subreddit’s culture makes me similarly surprised about the vibe you found. That’s honestly kinda cool and awesome and maybe a little hopeful.
I’m just worried it’s chuds who found an “acceptable” outlet for antisemitism. But it seems to be mod supported and somewhat imposed on a large chunk of the user base. Maybe some key people got reached?
I’d expect NonCredibleDefense to be more a dunk tank farm at least as long as Israel is genociding. Once that ends, all bets are off regarding PublicFreakout.

I don’t have the defense rating to go there, people who should be walled one and all.
