Honestly it would be fantastic if everyone normalized seeing revolutionary soldiers on the street and people would wear these on citizens support orgs since that is where were heading. No harm in starting off right. Its going to be a civil war anyway. The right cosplays the Reich for decades, might as well do it.

Are you okay? Do you need any help?

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 days ago

Anyone got any links to sellers? I got a headband from 3SJ but am undecided on the type of camo.

Cosplaying as people risking their lives to save their families and homes when you’re not in that sort of danger

Cultural appropriation of revolutionary outfits, what a day

Celebrating stuff that you like that's not from the culture you were born into is bad?

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 4 days ago

Generally a thoughtless adoption of stuff from marginalized or historically subjugated cultures is considered bad.

My particular statement was not intended to be a value judgment, just a remark that it's unusual how we're considering cultural appropriation of Hamas
