Can everyone please stop the dumb “from the river to the sea” chant? It is incredibly hurtful to our Jewish brothers and sisters. It’s also incredibly counterproductive to protecting Palestinians. Do not chant something that majority thinks is call for genocide. Not complicated.

Thank you for supporting the genocide. Here’s your participation trophy and souvenir dead children.
the original slogan was abolish the police. they said that was bad optics and defund the police was better. no one listened when we told them what would happen.
It’s wild how if you take like 1-3 steps away from the namesake podcast of the sub that eventually spawned this Lemmy, you get people like Leigh Philips and Lee Fang who say this shit. It’s not just that people want access. They resent the enthusiasm of the palestinian resistance which they would like to view as dead weight.
Often people who recommend this stuff to me say “well they just want to “hide their power level”.” Bc they want to access NGOs, publishers, magazines, newspapers etc. that would be closed off if they expressed a correct stance. Or even security clearance shit, you seek out interviews with the Daniel Ellsbergs and the Hershes and ppl the same way they seek out a patronage relationship with the part of the intel community that wants to pull out of Ukraine because it’s been further destabilizing the US position globally by exposing our limitations & wasting a lot of resources and have some overlap geopolitically.
The ones like Blumenthal, Fang, Taibbi, etc. that are looking for favor from reactionaries just come across like dead eyed fucking weirdos
