      Great. Sometimes it’s frustrating when you advocate for Palestine and whatever else and then you read a comment saying you basically deserve to die. Which I understand is a joke, and that you’re just going to reply mocking me now, but I wanted to say that anyway.

        I think the person is referring to the state, but not the people or the environment.
        The USA and the UK have strong patriotic currents which are entangled with their imperialist past and present.
        I don’t think anybody here thinks you deserve to die or claim this would be acceptable, random internet stranger 💜

        I’m not going to mock you, comrade. Black humor is how we at hexbear deal with the crushing weight of the historical and ongoing crimes of the imperial core countries we come from. I can see how that might be jarring to an outsider.
