Similar happened to an acquaintance of mine’s son who also lives in NOLA. He flew an Israeli flag and someone spray painted Free Palestine on his garage.
Lol. Joe biden is a neoliberal. Hillary clinton is a neoliberal. Al gore, Bill clinton, Barack obama. All neoliberal. No leftist who is anticapitalist (as they should be) will call themselves liberal. That’s just some america-brained shit.
What did Russell Brand do to get famous? I remember him back in the 2010s being known for questioning existing power structures. Like, he got on stage at some event sponsored by Hugo Boss and brought up the fact that they made uniforms for the nazis.
No such thing as antisemitism on the left. It’s antithetical to leftism. If you’re antisemitic then you’re not in the leftist camp. Anti Zionism is not antisemitism.
Still wouldn’t have happened without direct action, which is ultimately what I’m trying to get at in these comments. People like MLK had to put their asses on the line to make change happen. Had to rally support. Simply voting doesn’t really accomplish much. It took Black Americans getting beat in the streets, causing issues for politicians to get the civil rights act past the finish line. You’re right that it does take time for progress to happen but without direct action like what MLK did I don’t think anything would have ever gotten accomplished.
