Went to a Palestinian solidarity protest/rally with some new folks who’d become radicalised against America/the West over the last six months. They aren’t socialists (yet, I’m working on it) - but they’re good people. So, seeing the genocide and its support by our governments filled them with disgust. We talked about the...
You can repeat this a dozen times in this post and I won’t care (I’ll roll my eyes at you, but I won’t care). My point is simple.
If you’re going to organise a protest, at least let there be some fucking sign (I don’t mean a literal sign, just a mention on the website, the posters, the socials, something) that your gonna be shouting “I stand with Hamas” and are proud of Oct 7 out there - so I don’t end up bringing the folks I brought to it.
Ambushing them (and me) like that doesn’t work. It’ll make you feel better and like you pulled one over us, but that’s it. And the next time you organise a protest, the people you blindsided won’t turn up.
[All this assuming you’re genuine and not a fed.]
You can have the kind of radical protest you want - but it has to have the kind of radical protesters you need. Advertising it like a general one, and then pulling shit like this is fed behaviour, and if you can’t see that, then, well…
YES. When I studied Rus Lit my prof dedicated a whole lecture to this! With slides! I honestly love this part of Russian literature, it gives it so much character, and anyone who complains about it doesn’t deserve to read it.
Edit - I don’t remember where I read/heard it, but I remember very early on someone said that liberals will one day turn on Israel but it’ll be after a certain number of people begin dying - 5k, 10k, 30k, 50k. I wish I could find it....
The entire article is very good and gives a solid reasoning (for baby leftists, not anyone here) of why we need to support Cuba. It also highlights the weakness of both the DSA and the DSA IC from within that allowed this to happen + the steps they need to take. Give it a read. (The more I read stuff like this plus the history...
She’s getting hate from Hindutva freaks online over this and her defence of Kashmir + she was attacked by white libs a couple weeks earlier for rumors that she might be the new Rapunzel (she is not, even though she should be). Here’s her speech.
Israel supporters in worldnews were disappointed by this news. They claim the drones will be shot down by the Iron Dome and other defence systems + the response is too little to warrant US action. Who knows if any of that is true. But again, they were disappointed that Iran showed fucking restraint and hasn’t (so far) escalated to the level of regional war.
Like…who knows what happens 24 hours from now. Maybe Iran launches more stuff. Or Israel responds disproportionately. Or US says “fuck it, this is enough” and does something on behalf of Israel anyways. But at this very moment, it doesn’t look like full-blown war, for which I can only thank god.
I don’t want people to die. Goddamnit. Can you reply with a good link to update this post? I’m gonna go watch some YouTube videos to try to get my mind off this.
After 20 days, he’ll be asked to conscript again. If he refuses, he’ll be sent to jail again. This will continue till either he agrees to conscription or the military stops requiring him.
Why are Palestinian protests filled with feds?
