  • You may have misunderstood something. Dismantling Israel doesn’t mean sending the population “home.”

    If you’re implying that actually the people being genocide would be the ones doing genocide if they get the chance, I have nothing to say to that level of settler hysteria.

    This kind of argument smells bad to me. This is exactly the justification Israel is using for its genocide in Gaza.

    There’s a reason it sounds like that, and that’s because every fascist accusation is a confession. Israel uses human shields, Israel uses mass sexual violence as a terror weapon, Israel burns babies alive and Israel hides military installations inside civillian infrastructure. Israel does everything they accuse the resistance of doing. This is fascism 101 shit.





  • -Israel can only be improved by being dismantled, so actually by going home the people who want to improve Israel are doing the right thing

    -Many people were born in “Rhodesia”, too. That doesn’t mean everyone else has to tolerate a violent supremacist ethnostate right next door.

    The lesson here, for any countries that might be reading, is this: Decolonization is quite violent, like almost a tenth as violent as colonization. Don’t like that? Don’t colonize. If you think it’s fucked up to just be born somewhere and have to leave, I actually agree. it’s fucked up of settler governments to use people as human shields and weapons like that, but it also doesn’t oblige the colonized to suffer more occupation.

    The only actual job of the DNC is to suck up all the space and oxygen that a real left needs to grow, and rubber stamp every oppressive police measure they think they have to in order to secure the profits of the rich at the expense of all other life on Earth. The best of them are self-deluding soft exterminationists at this point, and the bulk of the party has apparently dispensed with even that fig leaf and embraced a kind of haughty, blue fascist schadenfreude regarding the people it failed to browbeat into supporting genocide. It’s genuinely the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in my life after the killing itself. The Democratic party is pathologically incapable of taking any responsibility for it’s action, has no desire to change anything, and is actively, dangerously hostile to all living beings, first and foremost human beings outside America. Nothing better will be allowed to grow unless it is thoroughly dismantled alongside the Republican party and most of the rest of the US government.









  • The main question for me is one of impact: “Who is it hurting”. I only take things from big box stores, never ever from individuals or family businesses. My morality was formed through contemplation, like you said, and I see it as having a two-sided relationship with my experiences: Something that evolved out of how things are but informs how I think things should be: Nobody should go hungry, nobody should be impoverished or victimized. Surprisingly, just believing these things makes you a number of enemies these days.
