Remember, EM POC only!

One year of Palestinian resistance… hamas-red-triangle hamas-red-triangle hamas-red-triangle hamas-red-triangle

I want liberation for all of the marginalized who still remain chained up by their oppressors.

That aside, of course, I’m hoping for some happy EM POC vibes this week!

I’m trying this new approach to my issues called the “thug that shit out” approach. Let’s see how it goes!

    Apparently it’s too much for some Hexbear crackers to allow people to be angry at libs for supporting the genocide of brown people. We need to show libs patience and to touch grass and ground ourselves while a genocide on our comrades and friends and families happens. They cannot do wrong, they can only be wronged. The Zionist project has nothing to do with Nazism. This is all just a big misunderstanding.

    Some fucking people here, for real.

    Also, and as a general statement, I have never called for anyone to be executed. I’ve only ever called for people to get time-out in a pit and self-crit together.

      I got a sneaking suspicion one of them is that dude who malds at people using the word “cracker.” Whatever. Hexbear always had a mayo problem. And I don’t see that changing anytime soon because there’s way too many white people here.

      You know, for a USian leftist social media website whose target demographic are zoomers and millennials, the fact that white people are a supermajority instead of a slight minority is disgraceful. White people don’t even form the majority of USian zoomers. And once you screen out the (mostly white) Christofascists and (mostly white) white nationalists, the percentage of US zoomers who are white drops even further. But over here on Hexbear dot net, the percentage of white posters is probably on par with UK zoomers who are white. Cool if this is a British site, but not so cool since it’s an USian site.

        Honestly, yeah, I never thought about it like that but that makes this problem generally so much fucking worse. My God, that’s depressing. Haha

        I don’t have any idea how to remedy that. I’m just glad we have this space at least. Unlimited gratitude to @Angel@Hexbear.net and @Othello@Hexbear.net!

      Lol I think I know exactly what you’re referring to. Always get annoyed when someone talks like they’re somehow superior because they think they’re the only one interacting with the outside world.

        So fucking obnoxious. Sneering like the one true Communist and sounding more and more like a defensive White lib every sentence.

        It’s a shame that was locked so quickly, honestly. That would’ve exposed some cracker demons like the other struggle session exposed misogyny.

          I missed it and went to your comments to see what was being talked about. I think I saw what comments you were talking about. Holy shit the pearl clutching lmao

          When you talk about doing something with “No apologies for the terror,” if you don’t preface your statement, they all of a sudden have reasons for not having any terror. And like the typical lib, it falls on us to patiently educate whitey instead of whitey changing their view. Or at the very least, not doing genocide.

          It’s not my responsibility to debate and convert libs. It’s their responsibility to change their positions before they get got.

            100%.

            It was honestly infuriating. And they were so focused on the actual act of casting a vote, which I said I personally don’t give a shit about and wasn’t the point. The initial comment was about USian libs’ selfishness, even in the face of a literal genocide, being unforgivable. Libs can’t be assed to care and, moreover, so many libs support it. There are so many fucking libs who are full, frothing members of Zionist-SS Division and think Palestinians are all terrorists beheading and SA’ing Zionist babies who deserve cleansing. Sure, there are some libs who are simply resigned to the genocide, and frankly fuck them too, but there are many who want it.

            But as always we’re supposed to be patient with lib bloodlust right now during a genocide because in the past at some point in time some of us were also confused, ignorant libs? What a dumbass take. I wonder how many Palestinians being genocided would agree with this nuanced analysis of patience towards those who demand their brutal death and the death of their families and children.

            Purely self-serving defensiveness. Projecting and accusing others of electoral lib brainworms and then immediately admits to having had said electoral lib brainworms barely a year ago. My God. That was borderline Nazi apologia, in my humble opinion.

            Rant over.

              And a year is practically nothing. Person was really telling on themselves when they were all “Not everyone is born a commie.”

              There’s liberal naivety and then there’s “making up stories about beheading children so you have a reason to carry out ethnic cleansing of your neighbors.” People might go through the former. You don’t go through a nazi phase and then earn my trust just because you changed to what millions of people already knew.

              It’s like that argument “Well, back in those days slavery was acceptable, so you can’t judge people,” which completely ignores the fact slaves knew it was wrong. There were non-slaves who knew it was wrong and argued for its abolition. The same thing has been true for stuff like homophobia, sexism, carnism, etc.

                They completely told on themselves. I don’t even believe them anymore when they say they were a ‘Communist for a long time’. They are still a lib in their heart. Recovering, at best.

                There’s liberal naivety and then there’s “making up stories about beheading children so you have a reason to carry out ethnic cleansing of your neighbors.” People might go through the former. You don’t go through a nazi phase and then earn my trust just because you changed to what millions of people already knew.

                I absolutely agree with you, exactly. I feel like they were conflating past liberal naivety like voting for Obama to get good healthcare with currently being in favour of a Nazistic genocide. Zionism is an extension of the Nazi project. I’m not going to forgive and forget with people who demanded the Holocaust and joined in on killing Jews in Europe and turning in their neighbors just because the Soviets destroyed the Nazis and now everyone has to feign innocence like they never did what they did. Anyone arguing otherwise is defending and apologizing for Nazis guilty of the Holocaust. But, suddenly now, in the present day, the situation is complex because there are a lot of supporters of the contemporary Nazi project and some people who used to support them recently changed their minds after they saw the Zio-Nazis do what they have said they would do for almost a century. No, I’m not willing to compromise and forgive Nazis just because there are a lot of them and some of them were deceived or propagandized into supporting their crimes. Stalin’s biggest mistake was stopping at Berlin and we should never forget that. The entire world still needs to be de-Nazified. No forgiveness. Don’t like that because it hits close to home? too-bad

                It’s like that argument “Well, back in those days slavery was acceptable, so you can’t judge people,” which completely ignores the fact slaves knew it was wrong. There were non-slaves who knew it was wrong and argued for its abolition. The same thing has been true for stuff like homophobia, sexism, carnism, etc.

                Exactly. It’s like they don’t even realize how they are just repeating the same argument that was used throughout history by people to apologize for themselves committing these crimes. None of this shit is forgivable and there were always people who knew, especially the victims, that it was fucking wrong. I’m not going to forgive some fucking supporter of slavery because ‘they were a product of their time’ or some such bullshit platitude. Get right the fuck out with that shit. I am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood. JB-shining-aggro
