    Based. Get wrecked Zionist troll.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkwashing_(LGBT)

    Origin of the term

    In April 2010, Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism (QUIT) in the Bay Area, used the phrase pinkwashing as a twist on greenwashing, a practice where companies claim to be eco-friendly in order to make profit. Dunya Alwan was at a talk with Ali Abunimah, editor of Electronic Intifada in 2010, when he said “We won’t put up with Israel whitewashing or greenwashing” and she thought “or pinkwashing!”

    In 2011, Sarah Schulman used the term pinkwashing in a widely read The New York Times editorial arguing that Israel used the tactic in its public relations. Schulman saw pinkwashing as a manifestation of homonationalism, the processes by which some powers selectively agree with the claims of sexual minorities and exploit them to justify racism, xenophobia (rejection of foreign people), and aporophobia (rejection of the poor);

      Just because Israel is using this for propaganda, doesnt mean that it isnt true(or important). The USSR used american racism against black people for propaganda but that doesnt mean that there was no racism in the US or that racism wasnt important(or relevant to the discussion between 2 global powers).

      When someone tells you “gay people should be killed”, i think it is relevant to the discussion you have about that person.

          Probably in relation to the blue maga name calling. Many of the low intelligence or high self radicalization people rely on as a crutch. Any time someone points out the vitriolic and illogical parts of their rhetoric. Ole Linky seems to be banned from most the communities I visit. Or at least don’t post there anymore. Kinda had forgotten about them honestly. But linky was definitely the one to say things like that.

      Thanks for the definition. So basically they got banned for “pretending” to support LGBQ? That’s definitely interesting coming from a tankie.

      Also, why are you posting to world news@Lemmy.ml? I think we have established that it is not a good community

        Because Lemmy.World news communities are ran by Zionists which ban users for criticizing israel.

      Wikipedia is worth shit-all ever since Tides took them over.

      Try some more reputable articles than a propaganda outlet by hedge funds.
