Real life dystopia has become so boring, people not directly involved intensify drama online to bring the conflict into their online lives.
As far as I remember, there were people virtue-signaling this kind of conflict, even before the internet was a thing.
Virtue signaling and outrage are the only things that are real, and whomever has the most “wins”.
After much reflection, my response to both sides is a weary "What did you expect would happen?"
Picking reasons to create division is fun, fuck fundamentalism and governments - no innocent should die.
And both sides hate nothing more than the overwhelming apathy I have towards two sides who are objectively terrible kicking piss out of each other yet again.
Ok but like a whole lot of people have died in a short period of time there. Maybe we can worry about what people on Twatter have to say later?
Nothing is new about this. I remember when I was a kid seeing all these bored middle aged people lining up for Black Friday shopping just to feel literally anything.
The people who support Hamas are brainlets, but the people who support Israel are extremely misguided at best
Fact based and rational media? Wikipedia is probably your closest bet.
You can't see truth, only triangulate it.

How is shitting on a genocidal autocratic apartheid regime “virtue signalling”?

The problem is more that they side with the genociders. Hamas is fucking evil. 1400 dead.
I think abortion lovers like them because they beheaded so many babies, idk, because nothing else makes sense. Maybe they just hate lgbtq people and want them executed? Or they want to oppress women?
In any case, siding with Hamas is either ignorant or straight up evil.

It’s “virtue signalling” if you are a white supremacist that can’t stand people learning the truth about the west’s favorite little genocidal little kapo state… they know how that eventually worked out for their previous favorite, Apartheid-South Africa.
