  • Boohoo let’s form an SA and do some pogroms then! Clearly some poor fuckers in a hotel are the reason for the misery, not the €28 billion net worth of the British royals or the owning class in general that fills it pockets through years of Tory rule and shifting the Overton window so far to the right that anyone who speaks of helping the poor is considered to be the reincarnation of Karl Marx himself.

    I would like to find nicer words but at this point working class right wingers to me seem like they have brain damage. You can’t be doing mental gymnastics to this extend and have a healthy functioning brain at the same time.





  • I agree but I rather worry that they’ll take over here as well because more people read this and are like „wtf I’m out“. That’s what happened with me on Reddit too. I was still lurking before the blackout but it was often already kinda bad.

    However now if I look at Reddit it’s no different than Facebook or instagram because I assume many mods left, and I mean those who actually cared about their community vs being in power. I think it’s bad if these „opinions“ are here, even though they get downvoted to oblivion. They will just poison the discourse.

    And don’t get me wrong, plurality of opinion is very important. But Nazi bots do not play by the rules, they do not contribute to said plurality, they want to destroy it and take over any space where people exchange opinions.


  • It happens all the time but it’s a bit hard to find them because the media doesn’t treat Palestinian-Americans the same way it treats Israeli-Americans. Palestinian dead is unfortunately not newsworthy or at least not headline worthy. Here’s one article anyway: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/23/world/palestinian-americans-demand-answers-invs/index.html

    This is about the West Bank not Gaza, but given that there’s virtually no Hamas in West Bank this imo makes the terrorism charges even stronger.

    That being said I think you have a point that there are some frameworks to follow. My problem is that the US only considers their enemies terrorists and doesn’t care about their own / their allies‘ war crimes, hence their hostility towards the ICC.

    Likud consisted of terror organizations before becoming a political party. Doesn‘t stop Western politicians from simping for them. Again, I’m not a fan of Hamas but when they took over Gaza they became the government. Yet, we labeled them terrorists and still consider them as such.

    You could then say „yeah but no Palestinian state exists“ and I would say that again, the USA do not recognize Palestine as opposed to most countries on this planet. That and the siege on Gaza since 2007 make it pretty much impossible to act as a state even though Palestinians want to do that since the British mandate period, hell since it was ruled by the Ottomans.

    I hope you get what I mean, the rules are only the rules for some.





  • Man that’s some boogie opinion. Ofc rich people steal and they steal much larger amounts but in my poor ass neighborhood my friend got his shoes stolen and me my bike. In the hallway. By my neighbor who repainted it and just kept it there. And once I got even fucking candy stolen out of my hand. Poor people totally shit on each other and take what they can.

    OTOH I don’t consider it immoral to steal from e.g. a supermarket, I couldn’t care less that the profit margin of some conglomerate decreases.




  • I keep hearing this „but what about Sudan?“ kind of thing. I mean also what about the children in Gaza vs the outrage when Israeli children are getting killed.

    The goal of the protests for Palestine is to overcome imperialism and colonialism as a whole. The movement won’t stop when Palestine is free but only when everyone is free.

    That we don’t see the same reaction for the people of Sudan is part of the problem, not a reason to delegitimize the pro-Palestine movement.
