I'm afraid that incident about The Onion completely eluded me. I didn't even know they published satire (and very sharp one at that)! Would you care to elaborate a bit on what transpired surrounding that article?

Thanks for the warm welcome. I followed you right after I read your thoughtful comment the other day on an article from a Zionist apologist. Your critical and balanced remarks clearly stood out in a comment section largely filled with people shilling for Israel and me trying to wake them up. I should refrain from doing that in the future. It's no use trying to appeal to someone's humanity with people who apparently are in support of massacres and poisoning a million children in Gaza who are cut off clean water supply.

However that article was the only one of its kind that I have come across so far. Just a few days on the platform and I am already overwhelmed by the level of critical thinking and positive change that is displayed by several users. All my life I was hoping for things to change but didn't have the brains nor the guts to get actively involved. I joined steemit because I just couldn't bear my passiveness any longer.

I'd like to point an excellent article out to you that I just read and commented on with an author and a comment section who I believe share a similar philosophy to ours:

EDIT: I see what you mean about The Onion's article: https://www.vice.com/amp/en_nz/article/kzkwzy/the-onion-anti-israel-commentary-jokes
