Itâs 2026 and getting frothing at the mouth angry at rainbow capitalism is still stupid because itâs always been a neutral barometer for the social climate around LGBT+ stuff by the way.
Like I'm sorry but "I want to and I have ideas" is not a reason for me to vote for you to be one of a few hundred people who make the laws of the entire country (or state) I live in. I'm tired of "outsiders" I don't want a liberal Donald Trump I want actual experienced smart people who know what they're doing. I'm sorry if the people at podsa can't feel better about being insufficiently masculine for their own tastes. I actually take the world I live in seriously.
idk at the end if the day maybe I really am just a curmudgeon but you simply will never convince me that mayor, senator, governor, or president are entry level jobs that can be done well with zero government or policy experience and the tremendous arrogance it takes to think they can should be disqualifying in and of itself.
I donât care how many times Iâve reblogged thisÂ
Women can write m/m. Men can write f/f. Asexuals can write filthy smut. Lesbians and gay men can write m/f. It's all arbitrary anyway. Who give a shit.
"Oh but they don't have an experience of-" I don't have any experience committing or solving murders either but that's still mostly what I read and write about.
I've never banged an alien but here we are.
You've never banged an alien yet! There's always time!
Jews don't deserve to be oppressed or receive payback because you think they're too privileged.
White people don't deserve to be oppressed or receive payback because you think they're too privileged.
There's not a single race or ethnic group you can belong to that makes it acceptable to persecute you or deny you equal treatment under the law. Everyone has equal worth and value as a human being no matter what they look like, where they come from, or where they were born.
Nobody deserves to be oppressed because you think they have it too good and nobody deserves to be kicked while they're down because you think they're not successful enough, we're all human and all of our lives can have worth and meaning regardless of how other people classify us based on race, ethnicity, or any other random physical or geographical differences, if you don't like it, too bad, the world's a big place and no one is entitled to live a life where they never encounter anyone different from themselves.
if youâve been âradicalized by empathyâ to instantly turn your empathy off for a significant portion of the population maybe it isnât about empathy after
If you've ever been baffled by seemingly contradictory or hypocritical rhetoric from tankies,
["Tankie" (noun) - a person with ostensibly leftist views who promotes authoritarianism and often defends dictatorships across the political spectrum; originally referred to defenders of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress protests.]
There's one thing you need to know that will clear it all up:
These people do not have, or believe in, principles or morals. The only thing they value is which of two teams you're on
This is why they rightly condemn the USA's genocide against Native Americans while ignoring, defending, or downplaying Russia's genocide of indigenous Siberians
This is why they use any Ukrainian Nazi they can find as proof that all Ukrainians are Nazis, treat any Anti-Nazi Ukrainians as inherently untrustworthy unless they start calling themselves Russian, yet make no criticisms of Russian Nazis or of the Russian government's imperialist and ethnonationalist rhetoric
This, in addition to regular antisemitism, is why they subject Jews to so many purity tests. A situation very similar to their attitude towards Ukrainians
This is why they rightly condemn the USA's prison-industrial complex but see nothing wrong with China putting Uyghurs in re-education camps
This is why they uncritically cite sources like the Grayzone while decrying any reliable publication that so much as fact-checks one of the good team's claims as a propaganda outlet for the bad team
This is why, despite rightly pointing out that no group of people is a monolith, they have the incredibly hostile reactions they have when a Palestinian criticizes Hamas, when an Iranian criticizes the Islamic Republic, when a Chinese person criticizes the CPC, or when a North Korean criticizes the Kim dynasty. Because despite what they say, they actually do consider good team countries to be monolithic - so anyone from one of those countries who criticizes their government must be a traitor working for the bad team. By contrast, anyone from a bad team country who sides with the good team must be enlightened and incapable of doing or saying anything wrong - as long as they continue to show unquestioning support for the good team
This is why their view on protesters being brutalized by their government depends entirely on which team that government is on
This is why they regard any co-operation between Palestinians and Israeli Jews as unforgiveable (see their reaction towards Standing Together). Because those Palestinian are deemed traitors who cosy up to the bad team, while the Israeli Jews are held as lying agents of the bad team who have no intention of actually working towards peace or Palestinian liberation, because why would anyone from the bad team ever support that
This is why despite an ostensible opposition to racism and other forms of ethnic bigotry, they're somewhat fond of resorting to race science when someone from a bad team country that's not their own, or a marginalized person from a bad team country that is their own, disagrees with them on a political matter
And any other apparent contradictions within their rhetoric, actions, or ideology, can also be quickly resolved if you look at what they're saying through this good team/bad team lens
This is also why the horseshoe phenomenon happens in the first place - conservatives also reject morals and principles in favor of teams, it's the basis for their entire ideology, and while some conservatives tend to view their own society as the good team, the far-right tends to claim that they are being infiltrated and/or controlled by the bad team
In both cases, Jews are considered to either be openly on the bad team, be secretly on the bad team, or possibly be on the bad team (and there's no way for them to prove their innocence)
The duality of man is thinking âchildren cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in publicâ and also âdamn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/â
Just as courage is not the absence of fear but doing the brave thing in spite of it, patience is not the absence of irritation but doing the kind thing in spite of it.
One thing that pisses me off about the online leftist Free Palestine type is that when you confront them about commentingâFree Palestineâ on a Jewish personâs post - they say âOh - Iâm not targeting Jewish people. I do this to everyoneâ or âI ask everyone about their opinion on Palestine before I decide if theyâre a good person not just Jews.â
We all know thatâs bullshit because if you did spend all your time writing âFree Palestineâ comments underneath everyoneâs posts â more than just Jewish people would be complaining.
And likeâŚthat is the laziest activism ever if it were true.
The Venn diagram of online leftist Free Palestine people and online leftist people waiting for their secularized messiah is a bloody circle. Both are prone to apocalyptic doomerism, thinly veiled antisemitism, and screaming at anyone who dares to dig into the unglamorous lunch-pail job of actually pushing back on the current shitshow. I have scant patience for either camp since they're often one and the same people.
Resistance rarely looks like it does in the movies. That is the first lie you have to unlearn if you're ever going to be serious about fighting (gestures wildly) all the things going on right now. Otherwise miss me with your over the top "Burn the shit down" rhetoric; the skill set that burns it all down is often notoriously bad at organizing a livable structure from the rubble.
I'm well aware that it ain't according to the current goyische leftist playbook to talk to Jews, listen to Jews, or witness the stories of Holocaust survivors without immediately jumping in to universalize them or spin them into "But that's what's happening in Gaza--" Button it. Trying to retcon historical events specific to one group to agree with your worldview is a fucking shanda.
Listen to WWII vets. Listen to the accounts of the Tuskegee airmen or the Navajo code talkers or the WACs who served overseas. Listen to the girls and women who were codebreakers at Bletchley Park. They served long hours, days, weeks, months, and often years knowing that even seemingly small tasks were essential to the war effort. Glamorous and sexy and Instagrammable? No. But it contributed to the defeat of the Axis powers, and that isn't nothing.
All you silly koalas and keyboard activists, have a day. Do so much better.
I think a lot of the denial of Russian imperialism in leftist spaces is because of a desperation to think imperialism is an evil unique to western countries; therefore, glorious mother Russia can't be guilty of colonization, and anyone accusing them of such are the real imperialists actually!!
It's bullshit.
Anyway, free Ukraine
Also a lot of their narrative around US Imperialism is (not entirely inaccurately) built around the refutation of the USâs Cold War propaganda and CIA malfeasance, so theyâre predisposed to distrust any criticism of those countries (similar point as OP just from another direction).
Itâs the very childish black-and-white mentality that if one side is âThe Bad Guysâ then whoever is fighting them must be âThe Good Guysâ. It canât just be that a bunch of countries do fucked up shit in the name of their national interest/self-mythology, and that that holds true around the world and across Capitalist/Communist lines.
Capitalism is âThe Villainâ, thus anything that would call into question the purity of the Soviets or the CCP is anathema, thus Russia, China, etc need to be pedestalized as Eternal, Pure, Natural, not the result of violent colonial conquest and oppression.
I know itâs not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
reblog if attacking fascism is really the hill you want to die on
this is literally like one of the most justified and honorable hills you could die on??? lol??
Quick someone reply with the gifâ˘ď¸
Always reblog this if you are cool
Attacking fascism is 800% a hill I will proudly die on.
But is everyone who reblogged this ready to love Jews? Thatâs a hill I would die on
Nahhh only punch nazis, loving jews is zionist hasbara apparently
And just for those who may not be aware, Richard Spencer (the nazi being punched in the first gif) is the man who came up with âIsrael is an ethnostate.â That slogan is literally nazi propaganda and if you, as a leftist or progressive, believe in or use that slogan then you are closer to being a nazi than you are to punching one.
Yes, fascism is something to absolutely oppose. But there is always a question you must ask yourself-âAm I opposing fascists because I really want to hurt someone and be justified for it or am I opposing fascists because I care about Jewish people, Roma people and others considered undesirable?â
You HAVE to care about other people or youâre just going to be a hammer looking for a nail and it is so *very* easy to convince supposed antifascists to harm Jewish people and others if said the âcorrectâ way.
Legit question, why do Biden and Harris get the lions share of the blame for Gaza? Netanyahu's the one actually ordering the strikes, Hamas is the one responsible for the horror, and literally every other world leader was funneling weapons and money to Israel, why single out Biden and Harris?
Because leftists are stupid, antisemitic, racist, and misogynistic.
America's foreign policy was already fairly pro-British/anti-Axis prior to joining the war, for all that they could-and-should have been doing more (to the point that Japan didn't think they could expand their war with the allies without inciting American intervention anyway).
Stalin was explicitly and happily pro-Hitler right up until Hitler attacked him. (Despite this being the most obvious betrayal in history, it managed to catch Stalin entirely by surprise on account of Stalin being the single dumbest idiot anywhere east of Berlin.)
If you can't wrap your mind around the difference between these, it can only be because you are either A) like Stalin, incredibly stupid, or B) like Stalin, malicious.
When the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising happened, the Polish resistance didn't join or assist, they waited for uprising to be crushed and the ghetto to be "liquidated" because their ideal Poland didn't have Jews. When the Warsaw Uprising happened, the Soviets waited for the uprising to be crushed by the Nazis because they had no room for any organised Polish national identity in their Communist utopia.
When the concentration camps were liberated (which to be absolutely clear was a side effect of a European war, nobody on any continent waged war to end the holocaust except for Jewish Partizans), and survivors attempted to return home they were met with pogroms because the neighbours who enthusiastically sold them out to the Nazis and packed them into cattle cars didn't expect to see any of them back and were hostile to the reality.
Antisemitic violence faded through the establishment by holocaust survivors of Jewish advocacy organisations and concerted efforts lobbying politicians and having legal protections passed by elected representatives.
-
So maybe support the organisations that were established by your radical forebears that made these legal changes happen... And don't trust a link that suggests that not voting in preference for accelerationist violence is a real strategy.
^ for the Americans.
How did the supreme courts justices get in that got rid of the interment camps?
They were appointed by elected officials who were voted in.
What could have ended slavery? Voting. What could have prevented the holocaust? Voting. However, demagogues that liked to convince people not to vote kind of both kept slavery ongoing, as well as the holocaust.
Why did the south revolt? Because a voted in president made them think they would lose their slaves.
OP's arguments are bad and they should feel bad.
