Notice how one of the underlying messages of the cartoon is that it’s Zionist Karen that is the real antisemite: by deeming that those demonstrating against the killing of children are antisemite (literally: against Jews), she is implying that killing children is a Jewish thing to do.
This is very much the kind of racism displayed by those who equate anti-Israel with antisemitic: they’re implying that Israel and its actions are all core Jewsih chracteristics, de facto slandering all Jews including those who disagree with Israel and/or its actio s, so they’re the ones who by definition are antisemite.
Zionist != Jewish, sorry. Killing children is something I would expect neozionists to be apologists for, not postzionists.You have a flawed premise.
They meant that Zionists are anti-semites. They didn’t mean that Zionism is Judaism, right @[email protected] ?
Exactly!
(More broadly, people who weaponize accusations of anti-semitism to defend the indefensible)
Yeah, I probably read it wrong, nevermind.
Can we knock it off with the karens already? I haven’t yet met a bad person named Karen. Brenda. Now I’ve met a few train wrecks named Brenda. Or just maybe we can knock it off with the underlying red herring sexism. We know already karen is a catch all term to get the hate pointed at women and off of the gun toting proudboys.

“Karen” started as a term for white women weaponizing their whiteness to behave unreasonable, aggressive and entitled towards BIPOCs, despite being marginalized themselves, through their gender.
White men has conveniently left out the whiteness that they themselves participate in, and focused in on the
whitewomen, essentializing the unreasonable, aggressive and entitled behaviour as linked towhitewomen’s gender, rather than their whitenessClassic co-opting. A social dominant group taking a term that’s been used by marginalized groups to critique the systemic oppression inherent in current power structures; and instead use it to uphold and reinforce the current power structures and their inherent oppressive systems.
Instead of atomizing citizens via immutable physical traits, try looking at the only thing that matters, the relationship of the person to Capital.
It all matters.
Acknowledging how society divide and conquer, seperate and atomize citizens into segregated social groups, often linked to immutable traits, is essential to combat capitalism and tear down class dividers.
There’s a reason bell hooks coined “imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy”. These are interconnected oppressive systems. They strengthen and sustain each other, and one cannot be defeated without the others. Additionally; If you do not stand in solidarity with those who face a multitude of oppressive structures, they have less resources to fight the oppressive capitalist structures
Ignoring everything but capitalism is similar to white feminism ignoring everything but gendered oppression.
All women are not free until everyone is free.
All workers are not free until everyone is free
All black, indigenous, people of color and racialized minorities are not free until everyone is free
All LGBTQ+ people are not free until everyone is free
There is no workers’ liberation without women’s liberation without black people’s liberation without queer people’s liberation without disabled people liberation without…
You cannot mobilize the working class without addressing the very real, oppressive structures that have very real, negative impact on people’s lives.
Race isn’t real, and the idea that people are physically separated into racial groups is not real. That’s a human made, social construct.
But racism is real. Humans separating humans into different social groups based on the socially constructed idea of “race” is real. And the effects of racism is real. Different rights and treatment being allocated humans based on these social groups are real. And therefore, the shared struggles against structural oppression within these groups are very real - despite the basis of these social groups’ creation being a social construct
Not acknowledging the multitude of struggles and oppressive systems present in imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy makes it impossible to stand in true solidarity with fellow workers, across social groups. It’ll inevitably lead to reinforcing the unrecognized oppressive structures, and stand in the way of a united working class.
Could you clarify why “gun toting proudboys” isn’t sexist?
You should go ask a proudboy these questions you have for them.
The question isn’t aimed at proudboys but at you, calling use of the Karen name “underlying red herring sexism” but then demonstrating your own not so underlying but explicit red herring sexism with the use of “gun toting proudboys.” Unless you were being ironic of course.
Is this your first introduction with the term ‘proudboy’? Did you just sleep through 2020 election and too embarrassed to admit it or were you literally born yesterday? Or is this just a troll shitPost attempt? I’m going to go with the last one and block your ass. So you’re going to have to find someone else’s time to waste with bad faith posting though I’d prefer it if you didn’t but whatever. you are clearly hellbent on being the shittiest version of you.
The ultimate “lalala I’m not listening”. What a fucking crybaby.
I have. My ex’s mother was named Karen, and she was 100% Karen. Bigoted to the core. But I hear ya.

man this post has all the flavors of the israel palestine conflict.
Nothing quite like lemmy for that, would be surprised if the troll factory mobilized on reddit’s worldnews was beginning to catch on to the troll factories on the other side of the coin mobilized on lemmy. In fact, this being in lemmy.ml, I would normally expect only to hear about pro-Hamas opinions. Guess we’ll have to wait to see which comments get removed to see if things have changed or if it was simply just an day off.
Sums it up. Fuck the fascist, genocidal Israeli leadership, and fuck the population of Israel as well because overall they support what is going on.
And fuck US governments and institutions that invest in and fund Israel. Divest! Now!
I don’t hate Jewish people, but I am certain with all this bullshit Israel is pulling, the population of people that do is growing.
Biden should be sending weapons to Hamas.
Biden supplied weapons to ISIS well enough to fight Syria, and now he is supplying weapons to ukrainian terrorists well enough to fight Russia and the European economy.

Terrorists? People defending their land from Russian invaders?
