#especially so-called ‘leftists’

[humandisastersquad]

Rly tired of people using “no ethical consumption under capitalism” to justify buying shit like their dozenth funko pop

[unbidden-yidden-deactivated20240]

Leftists are really out here showing their whole entire ass about how much they [don't] value Jewish people's lives, huh?

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

Sometimes I see posts on this site and I'm like oh okay, you guys don't actually believe in redemption and don't understand how it works at all. Cool. Okay.

[butchweasel]

i genuinely wonder if certain apparently leftist ideologies on this site were actually started by 4chan trolls as a way to make us self cannibalize. keeps me up at night.

The most frustrating part of engaging in any of this discourse with pro-Israel people is that they claim there's just something ineffable about "seeing and understanding" how supporting Palestinian liberation is directly calling for the eradication of Jewish people (as if that type of rhetoric isn't exactly how actual antisemitism often manifests in online spaces but that's a topic for another day)

They get through people debunking the "the land belongs to the people of Israel anyway" argument and the "LGBTQ Palestinians are safe in Israel" argument and the "Genocide isn't what's happening here so you should educate yourself" argument and when all of those points are meticulously disproven over and over they still stand with "Well, myself and your Jewish friends see the hate you have in your heart for us" and it truly doesn't matter what you say at that point because even if you yourself are Jewish they will claim that refusing to support the state, government and military of Israel is inherently hateful and bigoted, as if a religious ethnostate is some inherent human right that is being taken away from them. I know many of them are blinded by the relentless propaganda that's been around their whole lives and how hard it is to break free from a belief system that is so tied to your core identity as a human being but it is so frustrating watching people being led straight to the point over and over again and just turning around and refusing to see it.

It's also so frustrating to see people using the momentum of this movement to casually tack on actual antisemitism to these discussions, as if having Jewish people in positions of power is why the US bends over backwards to excuse the actions of Israel and not, yknow, the fact that our government directly benefits from having a military stronghold in the middle east. I've talked to some well-meaning pro-Palestine friends irl who casually use antisemetic talking points because they've ALSO bought into the narrative that Israeli = Jewish and so they blame the actions of Israel and the IDF on Jewish people's "religious values" and ignore the fact that this conflict really has almost nothing to do with religion itself and everything to do with capitalism, imperialism and maintaining the US's status as a so-called "global power".

if ppl telling you "jewish ppl in israel were already kicked out of other countries and have no where else to go" makes you feel compelled to call whoever said that a "zionist", I really just dont think you give af about jewish ppl's lives quite frankly.

if your "free palestine" means "getting rid" of all jewish civilians in israel I think you're probably just a heartless asshole.

[emily84]

the way some people on here are defending Palestine by completely rewriting what happened on oct 7th is mindboggling. you can deny it but i've seen your narrative go from "let's cheer for the resistance" very quickly to "you cannot sanitize a revolution, decades of oppression will inevitably breed violence" when the videos came out, to very smoothly "oh all those videos were fake the deaths were all caused by israel actually, hamas did nothing wrong" to today's "the attack were a fever dream concocted by israel" or "well that doesn't matter anyway it's in the past" is fucking pitiful to watch.

you think the revolution cannot be peaceful. okay. then you don't need to blatantly lie, overlook, or minimize what happened on october 7th. it literally doesn't matter that you think palestinians have suffered and continue to suffer a lot more. those two things are true at the same time.

this isn't a "my side is more moral / my side is spotless and just and righteous" thing where the more righteous side gets purity points for their struggle. especially because you're literally using the language israel is using in their deranged public tweets.

just say free palestine and argue your point without fucking altering the truth. free palestine is already a sentence; calling for a ceasefire and whatever future state solution/s you have in mind are already the fucking point. calling out isreal's war crimes is already the point.

you don't need to "well, actually" it for it to be, what, more digestible?? if israel's war crimes are already very real and documented and have been for decades, and they very much fucking are, then you don't need to season that with shitty conspiracist lies

i'm #newtoradblr i've spent so much time these past two weeks scrolling through radfem blogs i knew i had to make an actual radfem side of tumblr blog for my own sanity. the way i "peaked" is kinda funny 3-4 months ago i liked a radfem post without realizing and all of a sudden i had other radfem posts recommended to me by the algorithm and i was so annoyed because i was very anti-terf etc but for a couple days i read through a bunch of radfem blogs and it was actually such a relief to encounter FEMINISM not some watered down version of it but i felt guilty due to 5+ years of conditioning (and also because i had a nonbinary friend sitting right next to me in class as i was doing this) and i also didn't like the prominent use of the word moid? but anyway, 3 months later, i'm not sure why but the mra nature of the trans movement has grown so much more apparent to me i have like three mutuals who are trans men on my other blog and i would find myself rereading the few feminist posts i would reblog/write because these people are literally reblogging shit like "don't think like a terf. men aren't your oppressors, they're your friends/neighbors/brothers/fathers. if you think that any man could harm you you have been fooled by terf rhetoric" like actual morons/meninists. anyway two weeks ago i saw a post made by someone i knew was a radfem on my twitter tl and i don't know why i knew i was ready i went through her blog and through many others and now here i am.

like idk if someone starts acting out in unusual ways and saying/doing things they would never normally do i think thats a sign that they need help and not that they should be publicly put on blast while theyre actively having a mental health crisis but idk thats just my opinion

[spitblaze]

I've absolutely been moving away from the ironic enjoyment of things but there's still a few things I partake in for the joy of so-bad-its-good guilt-free. For example the longer Neil Breen makes movies the more they feel like student projects a guidance counselor would have a meeting with his parents about because they're VERY concerned about the imagery of piles of bodies and mass graves being presented as an unambiguously good thing

[pandora-midnight]

The vast majority of the left has repidly devolved into accelerationists, authoritarians, and sccelrationist authoritarians. Ideologies we used to all rightfully know are actually terrible praxis.

And the worst part is basically no one seems to care.

[live-laugh-obsess]

sending a lot of love out to all the trans and jewish folks out there this evening. it’s so enraging seeing people ignore your voices and concerns all the fucking time

[iamagodjkimcatholicicantsaythat]

My Dear Brother in Christ...Look, I love you, but maybe stop and think about what you’re posting, okay? Is it gonna make someone go, “You know what? I was wrong! This blogger is so right!” or at least make them think about it a little more? 

No? Than it’s probably not the most helpful thing to post, you still can, but let’s take it a step further...

Is it likely to push someone away from the Church? Is it worth posting just to get a laugh or nod of agreement out of your specific audience with that risk?

Transphobes are the dumbest and most terrible people you'll ever find and this picture shows this.

Shame I have to live with two of them because the cost of living is incredibly high and I can't move out because there is no job that will hire my ass

Another banger from the "we can always tell" crowd 💀

(for those who don't get it: the picture is of MatPat, a cis man)
