“By dismissing the issue I support the status quo by default without getting called out for supporting the status quo. I also get to feel superior to people suffering and fighting for their lives.” Ooh ooh and don’t forget the part about how dismissing it they are (in their minds) absolved them from needing to learn about it.
That’s the real crime. Just kinda plugging your ears and saying “All Violence Is Bad!” so you can perch on this naive moral high ground. Gormlessly consuming whatever narrative the cable news media puts out and treating this whole conflict like a football game between two teams you don’t care about.
At the same time, folks who are jerking themselves off on the latest intifada or heavily investing themselves in the martyred Israeli narrative aren’t doing anyone any favors. They’ve also decided to treat this horror show like a team sport, vicariously participating in a war on the other side of the planet without every living through a minute of it.
Anyone who is witnessing the bombings or the shootings or the kidnappings or any of the other assorted forms of desperate guerrilla violence and the genocidal response and thinking “Cool! I love this!” is a sick fucking freak. Nobody is winning in this conflict. Nobody is coming out of it better than when they started. This is an absolute worst-case scenario for any struggling society. It is a tragedy in every sense and from any perspective. It is a fundamental failure of every social institution.
Off to the special centrist

It is seriously fucking breaking my brain how all the same liberals who were just a couple days ago fervently supporting Nazi Ukraine for “bravely resisting genocide by the Russian warmongering orcs by any means possible” are now coming out of the woodwork to denounce the Palestinians as war criminals for fighting back by any means possible against what is obviously an actual, ongoing genocide.
It’s white supremacy. There is no other possible conclusion. None. Western liberals, and even most of the self described “western left” are just fucking irredeemable and rotten to the core. This will not change until the west is thoroughly crushed by revolution originating in the third world.
Horrible meme…
Big brain time.
At least the Zionist looks like a neckbeard.
“I am so wise the way i ignore world events that i may continue to be productive at work and consume content!”
Or
“Being ignorant, incurious, and oblivious to anything outside my bubble is actually the most mature and smart.”
Or
“Everything i need to know i learned in kindergarten”
The level of stupidity to think Hamas is like “The occupiers have retreated. Now activate the Reddit Brigades for phase 3.”
