"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

LIBERAL FOLKS.

If you think a settler colonial ethnostate whose opinion of your existence is overwhelmingly negative due to their politics (Zionist nazifascism) is your friend, it is because of imperial propaganda.

Then, I say, try going through what's being done to Gazans, I'm trying to see a social experiment play out.

I'll even set a GoFundMe to test this social experiment. The money will be used to buy 100% ethical, fair trade, Israel-built cattle cars. Here, I'll help you in.

This is just a "progressive" rebrand of the old conservative line "we had to destroy the Aztecs to teach them to stop ritually sacrificing people".

Literally the exact same shit. Anything can be justified under this insane logic.

This just conveniently ignores the diversity in Palestine. From Christians to atheists to muslims to Jews. Hamas is not Palestine. Palestine is not Hamas. There are LGBTQ+ activist in Palestine. And right now their biggest threat is Israel.

How does the saying going? Every westerner has a little Hitler inside them?

Whataboutism, pink washing, it's Tuesday I guess /s (Opposing genocide is a principle thing and it has nothing to do with if someone is queer or not, like what's so hard to get for these people)

because the end point of liberal idp is when the things you are, erase the things you do.

How many Jewish Poles in 1936 tolerated gay and trans people? How many of them deserved the gas chambers?

By this logic, everybody should overlook the Shoah since some of the victims were heterosexists and cissexists:

In the Lichtenburg camp, homosexual and Jewish prisoners were temporarily put together in the punishment company. The two prisoner groups were also grouped into the same work details that had to perform particularly heavy or filthy labor, like the cleaning of cesspits and sewers in Lichtenburg, or the gravel pit and the road roller in Dachau.⁴¹ In enduring these harsh conditions, homosexual prisoners could expect little or no solidarity from other prisoners.

What is more, other prisoners, and here the Jews were no exception, reproduced the stereotypes ascribed to them and often saw homosexuals as gossipy, mendacious, and enslaved to their uncontrollable sex drives.

With liberals like this who the fuck need fed

i mean, nothing like a fascist religious ethnostate supported by all the homophobes and far-righters of the earth to tell lgbt+ people that a land ravaged by a genocide would be little progressive

human rights and zionazism go together like oil and piss

LGBT+ rights aren’t improving under apartheid. A few years ago the press reported several discriminatory incidents, and earlier this year Aguda said that numerous attackers exploited a dating application to ambush LGBT+ users.

Yet something tells me that snarkily telling LGBT+ Herzlians to settle in this neocolony if they love it so much would not accomplish anything.

The last thing I ever want to do is come out in support of terrorists, but even if you believe Hamas is the most evil organization that's ever existed, what could they be possibly do that's worse for Palestine than what's happening under Israeli occupation?

nevermind the obscenely clear and failed attempt to appeal to a minority group of people they don't actually give a fuck about in their own turf, I wonder how they get the idea that every Arab nation is ruled like the Gulf..

(i don't actually wonder)
