This makes no sense to me. There's people in the comments literally telling me to go kill myself and that's fine but, me politely disagreeing is worthy of a 30 day ban.

B-but I just want to have a civil debate about why genocide is ok, why won’t anyone be nice to me? Wyahhhhh, such toxicity! People are so small minded if they can’t accept ethnic cleansing :(
There's a user in this thread calling us the genocide deniers while Israel unceasingly and unrepentantly destroys Gaza and its people. Like. No self awareness. No historical awareness. Just 'Oh I have a more nuanced view of the situation'. Nuance my fucking gooch.
Dudes, Duderinas and people from all around... While I said something in the meta-debate here, I'm not engaging in the underlying argument. What are you trying to accomplish here? The people you are talking about are suffering horrible atrocities. All you can think about is hating on each other on the internet... (There has to be a better way to deal with the situation.)
Is pineapple good on pizza? <— a debate
Are human rights guaranteed to all humans? <— a fucking ghoulish question that you deserve to be mocked for “debating”
I've asked what the mocking itself accomplishes.
Have you asked the same question about your disingenuous hand wringing? 🤔
Sorry, can you please re-phrase that question?
I’ve asked what the pearl clutching itself accomplishes.
You need to dumb it down a bit if you want me to understand. Give me a bit of context. Who is doing what?
You can’t set me up like that, I’m tapping out. Someone else explain basic human decency to this person, plz.
Yes please, don't do brigading but I didn't get you. And you kind of 'answer' questions with different questions.

They're hexbear users. Don't even waste your time, they are prejudiced and actively hostile towards anyone who isn't on their server. They only seek to disrupt and mock any discussion that deviates from their incredibly naive and confused perception of human civilization.
Once you've crossed the line and started advocating for violence and genocide, it becomes emotionally impossible to accept that you might be wrong about anything, because that would inescapably mean that you're actually a bad person. Thus, they reflexively go on the aggressive to proactively disrupt arguments that could potentially expose the contradictions inherent to their worldview.
There's not much that can really be done to get through to these individuals, because their defense mechanisms are incredibly well developed and supplemented by the codependent echo chamber that they have built specifically to protect themselves from the undue discomfort of ever having to contemplate the possibility that, just maybe, they don't have all the answers.
That being said, it's a problem that will naturally disappate as Lemmy grows. The best way to combat their toxicity for the time being is to ignore/block them, imho. More than anything else, they are trying to convince themselves and each other of their righteousness. Their actions have repeatedly demonstrated that they consider users from other servers to be inferior (frequently to the extent of being subhuman) and thus they are not worthy of serious engagement.
I do enjoy analyzing the psychology behind it though, if you couldn't tell 😅
