I don’t really downvote something unless it actively pissed me off

I think most people on this sub agree with you, I think they just have a different threshold with that. I also think the other thing you’ll see downvoted is kind of spammy stuff, where it’ll be like a retread of the same bad arguments, a repost of something, an obvious bait, or shit like that.

So in other words, kind of a combination of the two, although more so because this is an ornery bunch, even by Reddit standards.

I don’t think you have to even separate the two though, at least in my opinion. I think it’s possible to be a religious person who views God as working to create humans and then just believe “Well the way he did that plan to create us was through the process of evolution and adaptation”.

So the last paragraph is just a point that I agree with and I’ve argued on that sub before (that Israel engages in apartheid practices in both Gaza and the West Bank), it just has nothing at all to do with the point I’m making.

For the first paragraph, you are literally just proving my point. My point is that when Israel does pretty much the same thing as any country does in terms of putting out a favorable portrayal of themselves, it gets zeroed in on, overblown and portrayed as some ultra insidious thing.

I think the other issue is unironically the Jewish conspiracy shit. If this stuff is done by pro-Palestine people, it’s just either ignored or if it is seen it’s like “Oh well that’s politics, what do you expect”. If Jewish people did it, or even non Jewish people who were just pro-Israel, it would be this whole “Ah wow of course Jews trying to control the narrative, I thought this didn’t happen!!”
