liberals the moment they meet people who actually support the cause they’re performatively claiming to support: pigmask-off

    since 2021 when I first learned of this topic.

    Lol

    Yeah, they’ll maybe make 1-2 tweets saying forced hijab is bad, but then they’ll make 15 whataboutist posts comparing Iran to France and promoting key pro-regime policies.

    Because what has this got to do with the war? Fucking priorities.

    I feel so stuck because I obviously know what Israel is doing in Gaza right now is not ok.

    That’s a very mild way of framing 70+ years of genocide against Palestinians by the Israeli ethnostate

    But I cannot continue to associate myself with spaces that support my people’s oppression whilst claiming to stand “on the right side of history.”

    This smells of fed. “You’re too extreme and its scaring people away from the left.” is straight up Obama double-speak.

    The hyper fixation on Israel/Palestine is bizarre. And the reaction to groups such as the Houthis and complete lack of reaction to anything going on in places like Myanmar shows that a lot of the support for Palestine isn’t because they care about civilian deaths, or Muslims facing persecution. It more about “West bad” and antisemitism than actually caring about the Palestinian people.

    What 0 understanding of global politics and history does to a motherfucker. picard Yes, the West is bad, very bad, one might even say the future of humanity depends on the West losing its grip on the globe so that leftist groups are no longer suppressed with constant coups and color revolutions funded by the west. Those theocrats forcing women in hajib? Those were originally far-right mujahideen funded by the CIA. The biggest hurdle to freedom in the Middle East is Western meddling, which was the entire purpose of the West stealing Palestinian land and founding Israel.

    Lmao they use “CIA agent” as a flair. Really cool to downplay all the horrors committed by the CIA with your “jokey” flair guys.
