      God these libfash are exhausting, endless fellating about shit they have zero perosnal stake in beyond the entertainment of bashing anyone who does anything at all.

      I would go as far as to see these people are straight up embarassed fascists but that would require some semblance of political self awareness and education

      I think we need to spend another year arguing over the nuance of ethnic cleansing vs. genocide before I can make a clear decision on what side I support.

      The time for talking about diplomacy was sometimes during the last 75 years. At this point a moral and practical country would be choking Israel in military & technology sanctions, arresting any & all members of the government & military who set foot within their borders, shooting down Israeli jets & drones to enforce a no fly zone, and bombing any & all Israeli military & paramilitary targets into dust.

        Hamas has tried diplomacy but the Israeli response is always either “No” or “actually Hamas violated the peace treaty!” (even though Israel still bombed Palestinians during the ceasefire)

          and the great march of return was an attempt at non-violent protest, and the Israeli response was to kill a couple hundred people and seriously injure thousands more.

          Exactly. But in this case I’m talking about the ‘western liberal democracies’ which constantly fall back on the idea of a diplomacy that they never actually meaningfully attempt before washing their hands and going back to supporting genocide.

      I never thought I’d see the lib idea of “changing the name of a thing changes the nature of the thing itself.” but used for genocide of all things.

        Was it? Or was it just that any left wing content creator on the platform saying anything truly radical would just get banned?

          I don’t think that’s entirely true, we still have Hakim and others on YouTube. You can even find audiobooks of Marxist literature etc.

      I feel like they thought they were being sly by sneaking in that apparently diplomacy is the only acceptable way to stop the slaughter of Palestinian civilians. Can’t let those extremists encourage the death of IOF goons.

      The only people who benefit are the extremists whose powers grow from radicalization.

      The discourse should be flat because genocide is ontologically evil
