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.
@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.
