Did you ever consider that actually it's hateful to want people to not be oppressed? Checkmate tankie.

(Person says “Free Palestine!) (Person assaults a visibly Jewish individual)

Libs: these are the same thing.

I swear I slipped through a right angle into a dimension where this isn't true anymore I feel fucking crazy like 90% of the time these days

This is pretty sick. idk, it's just real bad. The state has re-defined "antisemitism" to mean any opposition to the Israeli state's violence. It's not very far from criminalizing the existence of Palestinian people

It will never stop making my stomach churn to see the very real problem of antisemitism leveraged to provide rhetorical cover for a genocide.

Would somebody do me a favor and sink that stupid island already

Be quiet, in all of the ways the UK is bad the USA is worse.

I mean, if somebody could sink the USA for me too while they're at it I'd sure appreciate it ukkk amerikkka

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

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.

Yeah that is unfortunate, I think we're basically in another cold war now which is great. I still would like my country to not be submerged underwater though seen as I don't have gills.

I'm sorry, what @[email protected] meant to say was "Another crackkka down, unlimited genocide on the first world"

(Other commenters are right though "death to America" or "from the river to the sea" are not calls to do ethnic cleansing - that is projection on the part of colonizers - it is a call to dismantle settler colonial states like Israel and the US. The jokes about sinking TERF Island come from the fact that they aren't technically colonizers there in the modern sense so they should just sink into the sea as there is nothing else to be done. Well almost nothing ira )

Anyone else ever notice you never hear jack shit about antisemitism unless Israel is doing war crimes again ?

At what point does it become worth exploring whether the state of Israel itself is antisemitic?
