In the sixty-one days since this account was created it has made four thousand nine hundred and twenty-six submissions to Lemmy.

That averages out to one every seventeen minutes and fifty seconds twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.

Yeah, I'm suspicious of people with high post counts too.

It's funny, I see you everywhere posting and you don't even crack one submission per hour.

I wasn’t going to say it to stay civil.

You're a saint, SatansMaggotyCumFart.

Fucking rights.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s running mate posted a video on X celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israelis that killed 1,200 and called President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris Nazis.

Pay walled garbage.

Also, this first paragraph is enough to confirm it's a garbage opinion. Also, using the word Nazi to continue losing its meaning.

It continues to surprise me how a “socialist” like the OP keeps finding and sharing articles from the Washington Examiner. It’s like the Washington Times, but somehow much worse. I could understand it if it was a conservative leaning quality publication, but it’s essentially just a fascist Weekly World News.

It's like Anticolonialist who is a supposed communist posting and reading Fox News.

Nat Turner would ALMOST be a fair comparison, except that the Palestinians have been ghettoized for 40 years and not enslaved. I can't really see how Israel profits from their suffering the way the white colonialists profited on the backs of slaves.

Turner's story was turned into a graphic novel by one of my favorite artists, Kyle Baker:
