Lol the fact that you think this is as simple as “bad guys v good guys” tells me everything I need to know.
Nuance really is dead and buried, huh? Israel can be committing genocide while Hamas…also abuses their power and hurts people? There can be more than one “the bad guys”, you know. I’m an anarchist. I know you communists loooove to write off human rights abuse if it fits your narrative, but I believe that things can be more complicated than that. Hamas may be fighting an equally right-wing authoritarian monster, but that does not suddenly make them good? Like, how is that so hard to understand? Yeah, they’re fighting a far more deadly and effective killing machine with religious fundamentalist ethics. But that does not absolve them.
I agree it would be very nice if we had “good guys v bad guys” but that’s…just not the way the world works.
Lol “youre the lib” is hilarious.
Like, I was making the connection because the simplistic thinking of “well, look how bad THE OTHER SIDE IS!” is classic lib/conservative dichotomy type thinking. As if it were either one or the other instead of being an incredibly complicated situation wherein, yes, Israel is the aggressor and they are committing genocide and their government is a right wing nightmare and, yes, of course the oct. 7 attacks didn’t happen in a vacuum and were a response to the endless oppression and slaughter of the Palestinian people and the settler practices of Israel and Hamas is the most organized resistance against that and, yes, the American-backed government before Hamas was awful and Hamas rose up as a response to THAT injustice…and this is literally just covering a fraction of what’s happened in the past, like, 10-15 years.
But to ignore the practices of the right wing fundamentalist group strictly because it’s easier to sort out in your head when you have a “good guy” and a “bad guy,” to reason this all away with “the OTHER side is the REAL Hitlers!” is EXACTLY WHAT ALL YOU WESTERN E-COMMUNISTS CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN ABOUT LIBERALS DOING. Ignoring what’s inconvenient to your worldview to simplify your screeds from your toilets isn’t cool when liberals do it. It’s not cool when you guys do it either. Although it is much more hypocritical because you guys are actually self-aware.
