#also i can assure you covid is also killing palestinians

[kabutone]

im really glad that palestine has not only raised awareness of the ongoing genocide but has brought attention to other ongoing human rights issues and occupations like congo and hawaii (and brought some attention back to ukraine but ive also seen people being weird about it). so now that we're having the conversation about why its bad to attempt to kill entire groups of people, i am begging that you start bringing masking and covid safety back into your politics.

a LOT of people who claim to be "leftist" or "progressive" or "inclusive" or whatever label you wanna use, have fallen into the mindset that disabled, immunocompromised, and otherwise high risk individuals deserve to get left to die. a lot of people are reacting with such shock and horror that the US would funnel so much money and support into a blatant genocide, but that wake up call came so much earlier for the people that were left to "fall by the wayside" by covid. the US has left the most vulnerable to die and is trying to convince you to leave them behind too. not to mention that even the healthiest and fittest person can become disabled by covid. the government is willing to let you and your family die if it means they can squeeze more money out of you. and if you believe that the pandemic is "over" or is no longer a big deal, you have bought into their eugenics, and i am begging you to fight back against it.

a lot of people refuse to mask, or test, or take others into consideration anymore because "i did my part." and they fail to recognize that their "part" is not over, they did the bare minimum and then failed their community. i hope that in a few months you won't be disregarding palestine because you "did your part" by using the tiktok watermelon filters and posting about it for a few months.

if you are pushing super hard for palestine, and any other nation suffering colonialism and genocide, i urge you to wear a mask and fight against the murder happening at home too.
