I both think it's terrible that people have basically completely tuned out Gaza/Palestine and the issues within it while also thinking there's something so sinister about the same people who lied about Kamala being a zio are now calling people names and hurting them because they are trying to focus on Trump's new human rights removal instead of Gaza for a few posts.
I actually do think you're a bad person for trying to guilt trip people who can't pay their own bills and this can't donate to Gaza.
I do think you're using a genocide to justify flinging hateful words all over the place in the middle of a mental health crisis because you wanna feel morally superior.
An estimated 1,200 trans, woman, gay, immigrant and POC committed suicide within the first 48 hours of the election results being reported.
An estimated 20,000 people have already filed the country.
Homelessness and domestic violence numbers are skyrocketing. Rape is skyrocketing. Hate crimes are skyrocketing.
We are in the eye of the hurricane until Jan 26 and it's about to get a lot worse. I will not blame or insult or harass or question anyone who, during these times, chooses to put their life jacket on first. To put their oxygen mask on first.
You can not help Gaza by starving yourself. You can not help sudan by not making rent.
Stop asserting that paycheck to paycheck Americans who don't donate their life savings to Gaza are complicit in the use of their tax dollars towards state sanctioned violence.
A majority of pro-palestinian people voted to help them because that's all we can do.
How dare you hurt these people. How dare you assume we have comfortable cushy lives. How dare you lie by asserting they are complicit. How dare you spread more lies about the working class of America. How dare you dismiss every concern, every hate crime, every law, every act of violence as too small to justify their survival.
How dare you expect the lowest of our society to sacrifice themselves and their death wages to a movement they put everything they had in them to stop. How entitled. How selfish. How audacious.
The working class, organizers and activists are the reason there are success stories of people escaping that genocide. Who are you to demand their final breath? Who are you to demand they kill themselves for you? They, who have suffered all the same violence and bloodshed and harm.
"donate donate donate!" From what? Water from a stone. Every inch of their wages can and will be sucked dry and you get your rocks off calling them fake activists? Fake supporters?
We are about to drown even more and you expect more from us?? Why are we not allowed to save ourselves first? How are we supposed to scream from empty mouths? How are we supposed to pay from empty pockets? How are we supposed to organize from empty homes?
How can we help Palestine when so many of us are about to start dieing in our own streets? In our own beds?
#levi speaks#controversial maybe but theres something so painful about not having enough money to feed yourself till next check#then reading that your never doing eboufj for any movement ever#tarrifs are about to sink us many of us are unsafe in our homes and many of us are going to die#I'm sorry im not making a random internet activist feel good by choosing rent over Palestine food over Palestine.#ive donated where i could but i still can barely utilities#i have medical bills janet i cant pay theirs i have a water bill kiley i cant pay for theirs#and then to call you complicit? when you have less impact that others because your vote is constantly questioned?#its like they forget that we've always been the ones helping#but because we decide once to focus on our own survival instead of others we're the bad guys?#they never say that shit to the rich members of their families just random pple online living paycheck to paycheck
