It is a PRIVILEGE to be able to say that the entire population of a country or region are inherently guilty and deserving of death. It is also exactly the same shit the alt right does.

I've seen people do this to both Palestine and Israel. If you honestly celebrate the murder of Palestinians or Israelis and try to justify it, you are no better than an alt right cult member.

Real people are dying and suffering while you pretend this is a video game.

MAGA is really just a variant of fascism. The racist anti-Latino orgy of ethno-nationalism at MSG on Sunday has removed all doubt.

Dean Obeidallah at SubStack walks us through it.

Here is a sample of the hate buffet served up to the cheering MAGA crowd. 1.        Anti-women: Donald Trump again called VP Harris a "very low IQ individual." Tucker Carlson said to cheers if Harris wins she will be “the first Samoan, Malaysian, low IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected president.”  Grant Cardone, a businessman said VP Harris and “her pimp handlers will destroy our country,” obviously suggesting Harris is a  prostitute. -David Rem a person the campaign identified as a childhood friend of Trump, brandished a crucifix and called Vice President Kamala Harris “the antichrist” and “the devil” to huge applause. 2.        Anti-Black: -The rally played Confederate favorite “Dixie” before Black GOP Rep. Byron Donalds came out at Madison Square Garden. -“This cool Black guy with the thing on his head, what is that a lampshade? Believe this guy? Just kidding, that’s one of my buddies. He had a Halloween party last night. We had fun, we carved watermelons together,” said podcaster and alleged comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. 3.        Anti-Latino and anti-Migrant hate: -Referring to Latino migrants, radio host Sid Rosenberg declared to cheers that they are causing crime and that: “The fucking illegals, they get whatever they want, don’t they?!” -“I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” said Tony Hinchcliffe. -“These Latinos, they love making babies. Let’s know that they do. They do. There’s no pulling out. They cum inside. Just like they did to our country!’ again Hinchcliffe. 4.        Anti-Arab/Palestinian hate: -Rudy Giuliani declared: "The Palestinians are taught to kill us at two-years old. There may have good people. I'm sorry I don't take a risk with people who are taught to kill Americans at two." He then declared to big cheers, “I’m on the side of Israel…Donald Trump is on the side of Israel.” 5. Anti-Semitism: -“You also know the Jews having a hard time throwing out that paper, you know what I’m saying?’ Hinchcliffe stated while mimicking holding money, playing on anti-Semitic trope that Jews are cheap. Before this MAGA event, some invoked the hate-filled February 20, 1939 Nazi rally at MSG billed as a "Pro American Rally" which featured a huge image of George Washington in between swastikas. After Sunday’s Trump rally, that comparison was no longer speculative, it was 100% accurate.

Yes, they even played "Dixie" – the Confederate anthem.

This event was held at a large venue in America's media capital with the intent of exposing as many Americans as possible to their message. They are not trying to hide anything. They want to make sure every last nutcake hears their words.

As David Frum via Charlie Sykes on SubStack observed:

This rally seems aimed at the crucial bloc of swing voters who like Donald Trump but worry that maybe he's not quite stupid and obnoxious enough. They need him and his team to squeeze out of the tube that one last plop of stupidity and obnoxiousness.

The stupidest thing for us to do is to freak out. Michael Tomasky wrote an excellent piece in The New Republic.

If You’re Being Fatalistic or Panicking, You Are Helping Donald Trump

It's way easier to prevent dictators than it is to get rid of them once they're here. So quit doomscrolling and do stuff in real life to save a whole lot of work in the future.

▶️Video footage depicts a former Israeli soldier, alongside other pro-Israeli individuals, harassing a Muslim woman in the United States. Despite the Islamophobic and racist nature of the attacks against women, the police fail to intervene.

This interview has essentially revealed the bias persisting since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza and perhaps for years – the strong Western media bias towards the Israeli narrative. This interview exploded because we succeeded in presenting the strength of Palestinian narrative and the painful truth that cannot be ignored or erased. This stems from the power of the Palestinian cause’s justice, which alarmed her remarkably.

However, she revealed three things:

An inability to hear the truth as witnessed in a previous BBC interview where they cut the broadcast completely to avoid hearing the facts about the massacres committed b Israel.

Secondly, she displayed a racist element resorting to discussions about women and exhibiting deep ignorance in this area. Because anyone knows Mr.Mustafa Al Barghouti well knows that he is one of the biggest advocates for women’s rights in general. This is a serious racist comment, assuming that all Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians do not respect women.

Thirdly, she demonstrated absolute unprofessionalism. No one in the world can conduct an interview in this manner.

she’s now in a problem of her own. She isolated herself and now there is an international campaign as understood, demanding for her dismissal with complaint with the British Journalist’s union about her unprofessional and utterly unacceptable behavior.

I interpret her explosion as a result of provocation due to her failure to cover the Palestinian narrative and the justice of the Palestinian cause, a fantastic reaction expanding globally. In my opinion, this interview has won us more international public opinion than hundreds of other interviews because it clearly exposed the bias of this type of Western media towards Israel. Extreme racism against Palestinians became evident making.

1.5 million Muslims make up 15% of the population of London. Why would you import that many people who have no plans of supporting western civilization? It’s utterly insane.

[sunbeamedskies]

There’s a big problem in the west where a LOT of people view Jews as rich oppressors. It is sometimes less acceptable for people who hold these views to say that out loud about Jews, so when the opportunity comes to do it in a more socially acceptable way through attacking all Israeli civilians instead of just the government leaders, they funnel that hatred through Israeli civilians

Many who justify the murder of Palestinian civilians hold anti-Arab and islamophobic views, purposely conflating all Palestinians with Hamas and using twisted, fake stats/surveys to “prove” their idiotic position, even though they’re not the same at all. They also count on westerners to have othered middle easterners so much that they can get away with it, Palestinian and Arab pain not registering as being as real or similar to their own because of dehumanization

If you don’t belong to the affected groups in the I/P war, please try to understand that you’ve been fed antisemitism, Islamophobia, and arabphobia all your life through various media and always need to keep yourself in check

A majority of high profile classified document leakers are assholes. That includes Russian assets Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Jack Teixeira undeniably belongs in that category.

He is basically a far right white supremacist gun nut in addition to being a traitor.

Jack Teixeira, dressed in camouflage fatigues, his finger wrapped around the trigger of a semiautomatic rifle, faced the camera and spoke as though reciting an oath.

“Jews scam, n----rs rape, and I mag dump.”

Teixeira raised his weapon, aimed at an unseen target and fired 10 times in rapid succession, emptying the magazine of bullets.

The six-second video, taken at a gun range near Teixeira’s home in Massachusetts, affords a brief but illuminating glimpse into the offline world of the 21-year-old National Guard member, who stands accused of leaking a trove of classified military intelligence on the group-chat platform Discord.

The Washington Post investigated Teixeira‘s background and online activities. He’s not exactly the boy next door which extremist blowhards like Tucker Carlson have claimed he is.

Teixeira’s love of guns, which first drew him to an online community of friends, was intertwined with a deep suspicion of the government that he served as an enlisted member of the Air National Guard. But Teixeira did not consider himself a whistleblower, according to friends.

By the time of his arrest, filings by federal prosecutors show that Teixeira had amassed a small arsenal of rifles, shotguns and pistols, as well as a helmet, gas mask and night-vision goggles, all under the roof of the house where he lived with his mother and stepfather. The Post obtained and verified two videos taken at their home in Dighton, Mass., where the FBI arrested Teixeira last month.

Filmed from the shooter’s perspective, the first video shows a person identified by a Discord user as Teixeira firing an AR-style weapon into the forest. Another video shows the gunman firing a pistol into the woods behind Teixeira’s home, including two rapid volleys that suggest the weapon may have been modified. It isn’t clear what legal or illegal modifications Teixeira may have made, though devices like binary triggers and typically illegal auto sear accessories can make semiautomatic guns fire quicker than they are designed to shoot. A separate photograph shows an AK-style weapon resting on a table outside the family home next to a helmet with attached night-vision goggles.

For Teixeira, firearms practice seemed to be more than a hobby. “He used the term ‘race war’ quite a few times,” said a close friend who spent time with Teixeira in an online community on Discord, a platform popular with video game players, and had lengthy private phone and video calls with him over the course of several years.

“He did call himself racist, multiple times,” the friend said in an interview. “I would say he was proud of it.”

Teixeira joined the National Guard in 2019 – during the Trump administration. We all remember how Donald Trump refused to admit there is such a thing as domestic terrorism. Obviously Trump doesn’t want to upset his white supremacist base.

The Post obtained hundreds of documents, as well as text messages, that Teixeira shared on the server over the course of several months. Teixeira’s lawyers declined to comment. Teixeira, who remains in federal custody, has not entered a plea.

[ ... ]

On Discord, an account with the handle “Jack the Dripper,” one of Teixeira’s known monikers, shared an image titled “payback,” showing a large passenger jet careening toward the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam’s holiest site.

Teixeira asserted that “lots of FBI agents were found to have sympathized with the Jan 6 rioters,” and he said naive members of the intelligence community, of which he was technically a part, had been “cucked.” He referred to mainstream press as “zogshit,” appropriating a popular white-supremacist slur for the “Zionist Occupied Government.” Friends said that during live video chats, Teixeira expounded on baseless accusations of shadowy, sinister control by Jewish and liberal elites, as well as corrupt law enforcement authorities.

“He had quite a few conspiratorial beliefs,” the close friend said, adding: “I remember him multiple times talking about things like Waco and Ruby Ridge, and talking about how the government kills their own people,” referring to a pair of notorious armed standoffs that the far right has held up as emblematic of government oppression.

In addition to the federal charges, Teixeira may face additional charges as a member of the military. 

Ann Stefanek, an Air Force spokeswoman, said Teixeira is subject to “potential discipline,” considering he was working under active duty. After the Air Force concludes an investigation, she said, a commander will determine if Teixeira should face charges in the military. The service is coordinating closely with the FBI in the leak investigation, she said.

[ ... ]

The military has, in the past, struggled to track down individuals who have espoused racist or white-nationalist ideologies. Service members have faced charges that include dereliction of duty and misconduct for racist rants.

Teixeira‘s extremism goes back to his high school years.

The interest in video games and conservative politics was accompanied by an acute obsession with violence, the friend said. “He would send me a video of someone getting killed, ISIS executions, mass shootings, war videos. People would screen-share it, and he would laugh very loudly and be very happy to watch these things with everyone else. He absolutely enjoyed gore.”

Friends may not have taken seriously Teixeira’s threats against his high school. But he voiced approval of some shooters, particularly when they targeted people of different races and faiths. Teixeira was especially impressed by a gunman’s rampage at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019, which left 51 people dead and 40 injured. “He was very happy that those people died,” the friend said, because they were Muslim.

This guy is seriously unhinged. The US military needs to conduct more effective investigations of new recruits. Several obvious red flags were missed back in 2019 when Teixeira signed up.

It's nearly 9/11, so it's time once again for us to all brush up on how to intervene if we see Islamophobic* harassment happening...

* These techniques also work great for defending people from transphobic, homophobic, racist, or other types of harassment!

I saw a post on the feminism subreddit today saying hijab is anti feminist. I was surprised to see how many agreed with this statement and all the support the poster got in the comments, which included really hurtful things said towards my hijabi sisters

I thought being a feminist meant we support women's choices about their bodies? So if someone wants to cover their body, why is that a problem?

The poster goes on to say it's anti feminist, backward and oppressive. I am so fucking sick and tired of women having to justify wearing the hijab as well as not wearing it. And I won't lie, a feminist sub is the last place I thought I'd find people arguing about whether hijab should be worn or not

There are women out there who are being forced into it and some who aren't being allowed to wear it. It all comes down to women having lost their freedom of choice and rights in the matter and that makes me angry. That should make these so called feminists angry, not seeing someone in hijab

Yes, some women in the comments actually said seeing a woman in hijab makes them angry. Like that isn't because it's going against your feminist beliefs, it's just because you're Islamophobic.

Anyway I made a comment about it and it got deleted, then when I tried to make a post instead, I got banned from the subreddit lmao so much for women supporting women

But to all my ladies who support each other no matter what, and have each other's backs, I see y'all, and I have so much love for y'all

Also for people who say you cant be a hijabi and a feminist, fuck them. You do you sis
