Mate, we’re talking about Downpunx here.
He is 100% serious and he has come out saying he doesn’t give a shit about Palestinians and that they’re animals in the past among other fucked up things.
Look in any thread mentioning Israel or Palestine and you’ll find him there 7/10 times.
His post is still sarcastic, even if he believes it is true.
Ah you’re just a pro-Israeli chud. Don’t know why I acted in good faith with you.
For a while, I thought he might be a pro-Palestinian troll, but you're almost certainly right that downpunx is 100% serious.
They're clearly not well. People should downvote and move on, rather than feed the troll. Even negative attention is still attention.
Downpunxx is fucking awful, but he's genuine in his opinions. What is with this obsession over calling people trolls? You say he isn't a troll, then say not to feed the trolls. Why call someone you know isn't a troll a troll? Why does everyone want to use the word troll so much?
@DroneRights I think it's because we lack terminology. In the old days he probably would have been called a griefer.
He posts the same copypasta dozens of times around the fediverse, often with name-calling addressed to anyone who reads it. It's not a genuine engagement, it's designed to annoy.
He may be motivated to act like a griefer because of underlying feelings that make him want to lash out, but that doesn't change the nature of it.
Whatever happened to just calling someone a shithead? That's what I use and it's plenty good enough.
