In real life i try to give people the benefit of the doubt, try to stand up for the underdog, give people second chances etc but in my life i've come to see that, unlike in real life, there are actors who want to come across like regular people but are not really a regular guy with just another opinion. I have no clue about this user in particular, but i tend to be extra sceptical when it's about a controversial topic - especially if a country, community or company involved who has in other cases hired people to influence opinions via social media. Isreal is one of those, so something like them never responding is more sus than when it's some unimportant topic. Still think it's good to be a positive person, but you might lend someone a hand you wouldn't if you knew their true intention (though again, i dont know what this guys intention is).
I totally get it. Thanks for offering your perspective :)
I appreciate it a lot. I hate that Israel is considered "controversial" instead of unanimously awful, but that's a conversation for another day.
