Reading comprehension questions:
What does "zionist" mean? Think about how the previous commenter, mythica, is using it in context of OP, then quickly look it up via your choice of search engine. Do you notice any similarities or differences?
Take up mythica's call to type "gaza" into the search on their blog. Do you notice a difference from zionism (as defined in your search by prompt #1) and the contents of these posts?
What call to action is mythica implying by saying "be critical with all these 'vote blue no matter who' posts"?
Which candidate do they imply is "literally committing genocide"? Refer to the graphic above. What is the difference between the candidate's policies on Israel and Palestine? Is it true that only one candidate supports the genocide in Palestine?
Who benefits or loses from Trump's policies, as per the graphic, and who benefits or loses from Biden's policies, as per the graphic?
Drawing from the conclusions of prompt #5, when they write, "This person is only concerned with how THEY are potentially to be affected by this election", what do you think mythica claims OP will experience based on the election?
In the phrases, "them and people like them" and, "the guy that is slightly less likely to take THEIR rights away"? What group/s are referred to as "they"?
Who are some groups that OP mentioned, and refer to in the graphic, that are likely to lose rights with a Trump win? Does this include groups that mythica does not acknowledge?
Check the timestamps on mythica's screenshots. How much time do you think they spent looking at OP's blog for these? Why do you think that mythica did this?
Look.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
#edited to add the last one#really don't want to be a jackass but I want to break down why this shit's so bad.#half of their reply was antisemitic dogwhistling and idek or care if they knew that's what they're doing. it's gotta stop.#and what isn't antisemitism is this heinously unproductive 'fuck the state and give up' defeatism that helps nobody but republicans.#and the irony is that all their claims that ppl showing trump is worse are just upholding a genocide and dont care abt anyone but themselve#is BLATANTLY more true abt the 'both sides are the same' ppl.#like they're literally more concerned with pretending to have nothing to do w which shitty guy gets elected and not FEELING complicit#than actually trying to decrease the amount of turmoil in the world. shut the fuck up and email your local reps or something
