#anti-nationalism

Anime was better before it got political. Like Combattler V, where Dr. Nanbara calls nations a meaningless concept while trying to rally world leaders in opposition to an enemy that speaks of wiping out the barbarians so their superior culture can colonize. Wait, no.

Selling tumblr users on ethnonationalism: an example

The screenshotted post above is the perfect example of how seemingly progressive language is used to sell ethnonationalism in the form of "ethnopluralism" which I've talked about before. This is a bog standard "the evil queer commies are trying to eradicate our vital religious and ethnic traditional identities" post.

And this is cloaked in pseudo-progressive language that compares socialist internationalism and its "desire for a non-exploitative, international socialist society" to imperialism and nazism. The ethnopluralist principle of "the right to difference",that “every culture has the right to preserve their own unique culture and tradition from the onslaught of global capitalist culture" is the underlying ideology of this post. And that is rebranded ethnonationalism.

And if you think i'm just being paranoid about this being nationalist nonsense, you can actually check their blog and find out from their pinned post that they are a zionist, and you know, zionism is a form of ethnonationalism.

It's frustrating that so many leftists today are, if not nationalists themselves, then willing to make common cause with nationalists in pursuit of their goals.

I always think on the fact that in the 1970s support for Quebec nationalism was widespread on the left. Extremist Quebecois nationalist groups like the FLQ had ties to other radical leftist groups in North America and around the world, and were seen as being engaged in the same "revolutionary" struggle that other New Left groups of the era were engaged in. By comparison, you'd be hard-pressed to find many leftists today who support Quebec nationalists, who superficially at least have taken a hard turn towards right-wing culture politics.

The problem with this narrative of "Quebec nationalists changed" is that...they really haven't. Their primary goal, from the FLQ to the present, has always been the establishment of an independent state which would be a "homeland for the Quebecois people." A people who are, naturally, under existential threat, whether its from anglophones, "money and the ethnic vote," Americanization, or whatever the boogeyman of the day happens to be. The modern-day nationalists are just more honest (to some extent at least) than the nationalists of the 70s about what that really entails: that a homeland for a particular ethnic group will always necessarily make people who aren't members of that ethnic group at best second-class citizens, and at worst acceptable targets for violence and ethnic cleansing.

Avatar the Last Airbender beautifully told the story of how imperialists lie and have to be called on it and yet somehow certain people missed that message and turned into fire nation apologists

1. This genocide has been going on for longer than a year.

2. Both Nazism and Zionism are the names of the regional white nationalist groups with Nazism being directly derived from Nationalismus, the German word for nationalism. Both are inherently racist hateful ideologies.

I'm not disagreeing with op, I just think we shouldn't ignore the continuous struggle of those affected by the occupation.

I have to know… Where the hell do zionists get this number from?

They keep claiming this big number of Jewish people are zionists, but from what I've seen on both twitter and here on Tumblr, that number is not anywhere near what it is.

Now admittedly, I'm following a lot of anti-zionist Jews on twitter, so that might have something to do with what number I interpret, but still.

And additionally: Maybe if zionists didn't want to be called a bunch of murderous ra_ists, they shouldn't have been conducting a genocide for nearly a year! Sucks to suck, but zionism is a racist and murderous mentality on par with nazism.
