Sure is interesting how someone with supposedly left-wing views has the exact same suppositions and assumptions about the “conflict” as a West Bank settler.
Palestinians rallying behind Hamas and the October 7th attack is damning evidence of them all being jew-hating religious fanatics who want to declare sharia; same thing with any protestors who may sympathize. Nothing on the status quo before, nothing on the current genocide the IDF has been carrying out with utmost glee and shamelessness, nothing about the impending humanitarian crisis to result from a Rafah invasion (even worse than the one happening now), nothing about the current leadership of Israel making their intentions clear, nothing (honest) about the current protests beyond some bad attempts at gaslighting them into being “antisemitic” (“someone said settlers should go back where they came from, the horror!”). Just crocodile tears to excuse themselves into getting on the same side of the barricade as Joe Biden, Netanyahu, and the “Back the Blue” MAGAts.
Beware the “moderate”, folks.
I’m left-wing but seeing protests made me support a genocide.
My dude. You’re not left-wing just because you don’t vote for Trump
So this guy was fine with Oct 07. but some baby zoomers protesting at Columbia is what pushed him over? Come on idf, you can do better
At this point, there needs to be a basic leftist test that issues a printable license to those who pass.
Questions:
- Do you support capitalism?
- Do you support reactionary thought?
- Do you support imperialism and genocide?
Oversimplifications aside, I genuinely can no longer take one’s self-identification as a leftist seriously. It’s been like this for a while, but so many “leftists” have shown themselves to be lying in such instances as the post above, and they continue to do so.
I support capitalism. That means prejudice against capital right???
This is exactly why I support monarchism.
You just lathed “capitalphobia” into existence
Good
- Do you support capitalism?
No, of course not! I think that the ultrawealthy should pay their fair share of taxes.
- Do you support reactionary thought?
Like Donald “Orange Man” Drumph? Lol of course not. I’m not an authoritarian!
- Do you support imperialism and genocide?
Never! I oppose Russia’s eternal imperialism against Ukraine, and Chinas genocide against the Uyghurs.
Yeah no, it feels like we’re so far gone that liberals won’t even agree to the same definitions of very key concepts.
I’m as left as they come but should the poors just die in the streets?
NPR type beat
hue and cry over 7/10
Liberal status: scratched
There were a couple of people from the old sub who flipped from lecturing me about proper ML doctrine to becoming ardent zionists and neocons. Which is why I will never ever accept any criticism from any of you, and consider myself doctrinally perfect.
Fuck man I guess this was literally a wild trotsky. Good observation
I say agitate these people and let them speak. Translate their words into as many languages as possible. The global majority already sees the truth about Israel. They are not a self sufficient “nation” and they will not survive being the paraiah they have become.
