You'll find this kind of bs from every extremist faction, "oh you support Gaza, immigration, human rights and welfare, you must be a woke tankie communist" and "oh you're not an anti-capitalist far-left anti-money extremist commie tankie, you must be a dirty fascist" basically a summary or american politics🤦♂️ 🤡
Edit: the downvotes are just proving my point lol I'm literally saying the exact same thing said in the screenshot. There's not just two opposing extremes there's nuance to things, don't fight stupidity with stupidity, just cause magas fascist and extreme doesn't mean I should go find the equally opposing extreme.
I don't disagree with Trump just cause he's Trump, I disagree with his actions and the bs he says, and based off of those actions I think he's a knobhead and do not like him. When he pardoned Ross Ulbricht I didn't say, well it was done by Trump so it was evil. Do I think he did it for his own personal motives or gain and votershare? Yes, but I do believe he deserved freedom, and Trump did it for the wrong reasons.
Americans don't get it's not the centre of the universe sometimes.
I'm including a link from a news report released yesterday at the bottom of this comment.
I'll save you from actually clicking on it and watching this horrific video, and just let you know, it's a 5 yo girl in Gaza trapped in a burning building after it was bombed by the Israeli army. The building is a former school the girl had been sheltering in along with her parents, younger sibling, and several others.
She screams in pain as she desperately tries to escape from the flames, and people outside scream for help as they watch her running around inside. Luckily a fireman was able to help her escape, but she was horribly burned and lost her entire family. The reporter later finds her in a hospital several weeks later, trying to recover and crying out for her mother.
If you still feel from that description that ignoring what is happening right now is acceptable or you're pretending it can somehow be justified in any context, you should make yourself watch the video. Keep in mind this is one of countless stories like it.
It's extremely disturbing because what's happening is literally extreme and should make any human capable of empathy uncomfortable. It's easier to ignore it and pretend it's not happening, but that's always the case with genocide.
If watching the video and knowing all of this still changes nothing for you, then you should also know you are literally showing callous and unemotional traits associated with psychopathy. That's not BS, it's a fact of reality.

BRO, did I not say I was staunchly against Zionism. I explicitly said that, I mentioned how in the screenshot the person making the post said that she isn't against Israel because she's a communist, anti-Jews, anarchist or far-left, but because she's against genocide. Fuck Israel and Zionism but not Jews, I could not make that any more clear, I'm saying extremists always believe that when people disagree with anything at all they automatically believe they are extreme in the opposite direction.
I replied to your original comment before you added the additional information, and apologize if I misunderstood. Just going by your shorter original comment though, it seemed like you were arguing that OP pointing out the fact that ignoring/taking a neutral stance/downplaying or denying that what is happening right now is psychopathic, is somehow itself an extremist stance to take.
Just to be 100% clear, absolutely fuck antisemitism, but OP's post doesn't say anything remotely antisemitic.
The argument is simply that regardless of politics, identity, history, or anything else, as humans, knowing what is happening to other humans in Gaza right now in this moment, we can't acknowledge reality and pretend that it's anything other than genocide.
That shouldn't be an extreme opinion, but somehow people will repeatedly argue that it is.
