FlyingSquid is a Zionist who actively censors content critical of israel. In the past this was using false claims of anti-semitism but after acquiring mod powers he has started banning anti-israel posters.
After acuiquiring mod powers on /WorldNews FlyingSquid bans me by making up lies about defending the usage of child soldiers which never happened:
Recently he tried to defend himself by lying about it
After being called out for lying FlyingSquid pretends to act in good faith for a little as if he was just confused that day. Let’s see what happens when we play along:
When pointed out the he was lying the crybully instantly paints himself as the victim who is “about to be insulted”. FlyingSquid is clearly trying to bait an insult to use as an excuse for a reban:
Despite not being insulted, the crybully still claims he was. The Zionist victim complex is a sight to behold. He now demands to be acknowledged for his abuse of mod powers likely hoping to bait an insult:
After failing to ragebait insults the Zionist crybully “changes is his mind” and starts tacking on random extra conditions as an excuse to reban me. He now starts demanding acknowledgement for how amazing he is for falsely banning people.
At this point it is very obvious FlyingSquid has no intentions to unban me from WorldNews and is just trolling:
Subsequently he lies one more time in his ban description.
Edit: JordanLund has joined in and claimed that if you support any action of a group or individual, you fully support every action that group or invidividual has ever committed. Meaning that anyone who supports Joe Biden forgiving Student Loans actually supports the Genocide in Gaza and is a Zionist.
Edit2;
You are not understanding the argument.
FlyingSquid banned me under the false pretense that supporting any action means you support every action of a group.
Supporting this ban means you agree with this logic.
Thus following your logic: if you support Biden you fully support every action, statement and Genocide he is complicit in.
This is your own logic talking here not me.
Biden is NOT complicit in any genocide. Full stop. Never has been.
Biden is certainly complicit in this genocide. While finally putting a ceasefire through the UN Security Council, the US repeatedly veto’d previous ceasefire proposals. For the last ten months the US has regularly supplied Israel with Military Aid and Weapons, knowing full well that they will be used in Gaza. Biden has signed off on all of this. He personally considers himself a Zionist, and has been for a long time. Ethnic Cleansing or Transfer of native Palestinian people, is central to Zionism. Seen repeatedly in the West Bank and previous wars on Gaza. Biden has not pressured Israel to accept the ceasefire, regardless of how many war crimes they regularly commit.
None of that means vote Trump, Trump’s support for Israel will always be way stronger than Biden’s. He would certainly accelerate the genocide. I was still an advocate for Biden, and now Harris, for all the other reasons why their Democratic administration would be magnitudes better on most domestic and foreign policy. Showing support for them and also to the anti-genocide protestors aren’t antithetical either. Harris has a great opportunity to move to the left on Israel and gain huge support in critical States for the election.
Maybe you could try to get all of this through to the incorrigible Linkerbaan?
This is his thread, hopefully he reads it and agrees.
The two-party system in the US has always been terrible. FPTP makes us focus on voting against the opposition instead of voting for what best represents our interest like a Ranked Voting system. During elections are one of the few times where public pressure can push our representatives toward policies that reflect the will of their constituents. The sentiment that demanding more from your representatives is tantamount to voting for the opposition, is a reactionary position. Americans aren’t used to even Democrats changing their policies in response to public pressure. The overt fascism of the Republican party during this election cycle has galvanized the Democratic party to be more representative, and hopefully that continues on issues like Palestine and Immigration. Those will be critical for some of the critical swing states
Yeah I was only half serious. Look at this disingenuous shit:

Not to detract from what you’re saying, other than to add that I think Linkerbaan has shown a strong pattern of saying things that would discourage voting for Democrats. He is not interested in preventing a Trump presidency. In fact I think that’s exactly what he wants.
Have you been watching this rage fest over the last ten months? The guy never seems to talk or think about another subject. Every chance he gets to shit on Democrats, he does. In the comment I linked above he’s now full on saying one news article confirms that Trump’s policy on Israel is the same as Biden’s and Harris’s. I do not think he is stupid enough to actually believe that.
Yeah, to me he comes off as someone who is angry at both parties, that they are effectively the same, and is lashing out at others as an outlet for that anger. As if he got black pilled by US foreign policy, as if voters have any realistic say on that.
His comments are rude, antagonistic, and unhelpful. The bipartisanship of US foreign policy (there are differences but it’s still bipartisan for the most part), deserves criticism and a discussion on how to realistically influence the Democratic party to change (we all know the Republican party would never be an avenue for change), but he’s not doing that.
Trump is obviously lying, as it always does. But idk, he may genuinely believe that despite all the evidence to the contrary. Hell, there are even some Palestinians that falsely believe trump would be better than Biden right now. That kind of mentality comes from desperation and despair. It certainly isn’t correct, but it does motivate me to advocate for pushing the democratic administration left and make Israel a partisan issue. Trump is currently running as if he’s the peace ticket, not because he actually is but because it’s a good way to grab votes. The Democrats need to be the genuine peace ticket, for their own benefit and the relief of Palestinians trying to survive this genocide
Thank you for the balanced comment.
I was surprised at the comment above, as you pointed out it seems quite clear that the US and Biden aren’t actively preventing Israel’s attacks.
