no hypocrisy like radical leftist hypocrisy...... "racial slurs are awful anyone who uses them is a horrible piece of shit who deserves to die but when we use them against those nasty bad Izzzzzraelis we're the good ones and it's cool to do so!!!!"

can you imagine........ "Ew! it's spiritually..... Chinese" ?!?!?!?!?! CAN YOU IMAGINE if anyone said that?!?! it's so clearly blatantly racist!!! at this point what can you even say???? radical leftists lack PRINCIPLES period.

choosing which people can be laughed at, mocked, degraded, based on nationality, on where they were born (something a person has no control over.... this is so obvious it's insane that this needs to be said......) is in itself racist!!!! like..... "Turkish people aren't all exactly the same but Israelis are" is in itself racist!!! wtffffff is going on lol like can someone tell them that no one is ever gonna take any of them seriously when they complain about right-wing racism?????

Funny how same people who advocated the hardest for people to stop depicting Jesus, the most famous Jew, as a white man are now the same people trying to convince us Jews are white europeans. How peculiar.

Look, it's very simple: deviation from the norm is always bad, unless I'm the one doing the deviating, in which case I'm a brave iconoclast and it's the Masses who are wrong.

I just want to be clear - I love Irish people. I'm just against Irish nationalism. Irish people are great so long as they don't support the existence of Ireland. That's fascist! Ireland is a white supremicist, Celtic supremacist and Catholic supremacist theocratic ethnostate. It was born in a war in which more British people were killed than Irish people, and early in its history 40,000 Protestants were kicked out or fled. Their descendants are still refugees, and will continue to be refugees in perpetuity until the Irish state ceases to exist. Why can't there be one state in the British isles? Why do Irish Catholics need their own state that privileges Irish Catholics over other people? From the Ocean to the Sea, the British Isles will be FREE! Some people may think this is anti-Irish, but criticism of Irish nationalism is not anti-Celticism. People always say that criticism of Ireland is anti- Celtic. But why can't I criticize the Irish state?

Hello, I am Iranian.

Everyone keeps asking the same question over and over: what's wrong with the leftists? Why are they so noisy, why do they support the Gaza Strip, but remain completely silent when it comes to Iran? The answer is simple: because the truth exposes the lie. Because acknowledging Iran destroys the ideological fantasy they have built. Let's be clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a victim of Western imperialism. It is a theocratic authoritarian regime that exists by exporting violence, funding Islamist groups, and suppressing its own people. Yes, it funds Hamas. It funds Hezbollah.

All these small proxy groups in the region and worldwide are financed with Iranian money — not government or regime money, but stolen funds: money taken from workers who today in Iran cannot even afford bread; from families destroyed by inflation; from women who are beaten, imprisoned, tortured, and raped for refusing religious submission. And that is exactly why the leftists are silent: because Hamas feeds their narrative, but the Iranian people do not. Because Islamist violence against Israelis can be turned into "resistance," but Islamist violence against Iranians reveals the truth. At this very moment, as you read this, Iran — a country with over 92 million people — is being destroyed in real time.

Almost a complete blackout for more than 24 hours: no internet, no phone connection, no communication at all. And — silence. No "urgent protests" at Western universities, no hashtags, no statements of solidarity, no megaphones. Because the suffering of Iranians does not fit their agenda.

Because modern leftist movements are no longer driven by human rights — they are driven by selective outrage and ideological loyalty.

They will scream about censorship — unless it is done by an Islamist regime.

They will condemn state violence to the fullest — but will never say a word if that violence is wrapped in religious language. They chant "Free Palestine," but will never say "Free Iran," because that would require one difficult admission: that political Islam is not liberation — it is domination. And, by the way, this is happening in the West today as well. The Islamic Republic is not anti-imperialist; it is imperialist toward its own people. Hamas is not an isolated resistance group; it is part of a broader Islamist ecosystem funded, trained, and supported by regimes like the Islamic Republic of Iran. Here is the part they do not want to hear: You cannot claim moral superiority while justifying a regime that kills women and punishes them for refusing the hijab, kills protesters, cuts off the internet for a 92-million-strong nation, and uses foreign proxy groups to cover up its own internal collapse. You cannot pretend to care about Palestinians while ignoring Iranians who are being shot, tortured, and killed by the Islamic Republic. This is not solidarity — this is ideological blindness.

The Iranian people are not silent — they are forced into silence. The silence of Western leftists is their choice: a choice to defend ideology, justify Islamism, and turn a blind eye to the suffering of millions because the pain of the Iranian people complicates the slogan. History will remember this moment. It will remember who spoke about universal freedom and who decided that some lives are less important than preserving a narrative. Long live Iran."

things that i believe are generally agreed upon to be good, progressive values:

believe victims of rape and assault

there is no such thing as a "perfect victim"

racism is still bad if it's against a shitty person

nobody should have another religion forced onto them

women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights are good things

listen to marginalized people about what is harmful to them

using racial and ethnic slurs is bad

media literacy is important

telling people to kill themselves is a bad thing to do

telling people to "go back to where they came from" is racist and xenophobic

people are not defined by their government

nazi race scientists were Wrong

and then the version of this that i see happening now:

believe victims of rape and assault, unless they are jewish/israeli

there is no such thing as a "perfect victim", but jews/israelis must be held to a much higher standard before we even entertain them

racism is generally bad if it's against a shitty person, but if they are jewish/israeli, they deserve it

nobody should have another religion forced onto them, unless they are jewish/israeli

womens rights and LGBTQ+ rights are good things, but if jews/israelis agree, they have ulterior motives

listen to marginalized people about what is harmful to them, but definitely not jews

using racial and ethnic slurs is okay if its against jews/israelis or people who are not jewish but also not white and who support jews/israelis

media literacy is important but i will refuse to engage in it on conversations about jews/israelis

telling people to kill themselves is bad unless its people i dislike

telling people to "go back to where they came from" is racist and xenophobic, unless you say it to jews/israelis

people are not defined by their government, except for israelis and by extension jews, who are deserving of collective punishment

nazi race scientists were maybe wrong but because i agree with them i will use their terminology and conspiracies to justify my modern dislike of jews/israelis

when you endorse the hatred of a certain subgroup of jews, you are endorsing the hatred of all jews. it is so easy to twist "i only hate THOSE jews" into "well, all jews are like THOSE jews". this is what hitler did.
