   I was told following a lot of people is a sign of inauthenticity

   But I like the firehose of content

   I'll wade into it and get swept away to parts unknown. Isn't that the point of social media, discovery?

   And you can make a list for posters you don't want to miss

   Someone says something funny... I feel like following them

   Why not? Who cares? Are there magic rules here?

   FUCK IT

   I'M GOING TO FOLLOW EVERYONE!

   (Unless you're a "both sides the same" troll/ idiot, then I'm blocking your ass)

     @sickmatter

     Don't get me started.

     How is it so hard to criticize the govt of Israel without attacking Israelis Jews or Judaism?

     And how is it so hard to criticize Hamas without attacking Palestinians Muslims or Islam?

     The world is fucked up man.

     @benroyce I used to love doing that, but ever since the war in Gaza, I’ve had to cull a lot of them. So much vitriol ugh

     @Amoshias @sickmatter the thing is, most Israelis despise Netyanhu too

     all people have to do, of any background, to express their displeasure with what is going on in Gaza is to properly ascribe blame where blame is due: the current govt of Israel and Netanyahu

     but... apparently this is too high a bar for some walnut brains, and they need to throw in their low brain wattage bigotry on the topic, and ruin a united front

     @benroyce @sickmatter I may be 100% United with someone in disgust for what the government of Israel is doing, but if they are expressing it by shrieking about zionists, we are not on the same side.

     @benroyce @sickmatter
     I'll try

     I support the Israelis who demand a ceasefire, a two state solution and want Netnayahu to resign.

     I support the Palestinians who demand a ceasefire, a two state solution and want a real, representative gov.
