You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance? The IHRA that defended Norway’s commemoration of the nazi Knut Hamsun? The same IHRA that defines antisemitism as “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.”?

Though I’m guessing you mean specifically “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.”

Which I thought I made pretty clear with the parallel between apartheid South Africa and apartheid Israel - just as I believe the colonial state of the US has no right to exist - so I believe that the colonial state of Israel has no right to exist either.

So when I hear people chant “From the river to the sea” - I (and solidarity scholars) don’t see that as a call to violence against Jewish people - but as a reclamation of a slogan originally conjured up by Zionists for the equal rights of everyone in the Levant independent of their religion.

Right so you would have upheld and supported the 1982 Internal Security Acts in apartheid South Africa that outlawed chants like Mayibuye iAfrika because you “respect the law”

Thanks for telling on yourself.

From said article: “Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly is an unsettling mixture of childish humor and fetishistic sexual innuendo, seemingly only meant to appeal to those who truly love every experience relating to farting.”

Idk, this doesn’t sound like distancing tbh

I mean it sure would do more than pretending it’s not happening - but I get it - most Germans preferred to pretend they couldn’t smell the smoke either.

And again you don’t even have to risk your own safety by protesting - you could at least join a local community organizing group to help people most affected.

I’m sure you may think one person can’t make a difference but I can guarantee that even a single person more that’s helping out with mutual aid would be met with appreciation anywhere. Still good on you for financing charities - that is usually the very first step.

Also this isn’t a sprint - it’s a marathon - expecting protests now to have any immediate impact is just setting you up for failure - these fights have been fought for generations - so lock in and get ready to resist not just these 4 but the next 40 years.

And sorry if this feels overwhelming and you don’t think you have the capacity - but even doing 1 day of volunteering a month is a good starting point.

Why try to do anything so this doesn’t happen when it’s easier to dig your head in the sand 🙃

Name a more iconic duo than admin posts and 0 upvotes

the app is called AltTab…

denied was implied by comparing musk’s salute to that of the pope waving his arm - but fair, she didn’t outright say it

still the timing is most definitely not coincidental - but I can see how that can seem that way if you didn’t browse xitter when it happened

her tweet was made a day after musk’s salute and consequent “funny” nazi puns - alongside posts denying the salute as sincere, therefore enabling nazi normalization

the issue isn’t if JK is a swastika waving nazi - she most likely isn’t - the issue is she’s siding with fascists because they share the same hateful rhetoric and is willing to defend and normalize their behavior because she sees them as allies and the “woke leftists” as the enemy.

we couldn’t agree on an illustrator. He wanted Eva Braun, but the sample sketches he showed me were shit.

If he wanted Eva Braun to be the illustrator why would he show JK his own sketches and not hers? Why even mention Eva at that point?

Idk but imma head out as I don’t have the energy to dissect a poorly written attempt at a joke by a known nazi apologist…

I mean Eva Braun was a photographer so not sure why her sketches would have been good? But I guess she was trying to shoehorn hitler being a bad artist but just didn’t know how to tie it in?

Call be old-fashioned but I prefer my jokes to be funny because they’re clever not because “haha hitler couldn’t draw amirite”

Also just to note - that “trans” account posting AI slop is actually a terf masquerading as a trans person to “own the libs”

she did retweet a joke minimizing elmo’s salute… - multiple times…

nooo, you don’t understand - she was just saying this a day after the inauguration to defend musk doing his nazi salute - I’m sure all of this has nothing to do with her doing trans Holocaust denial either…

damn snowflakes always getting triggered by lighthearted fun from nazi apologists… 😤😤😤

If you’re looking for the second best time to take action - it’s right now!

nazis got fucked once - and we’ll keep fucking them up as many times as is needed

A-are you actually comparing Elvis conspiracies with racial supremacy? Sounds like your logic doesn’t go further than “freedom of speech = good”

You say rights exist until they encroach on others’ freedoms. But promoting ideas of racial supremacy directly encroaches on others’ basic freedoms and safety. By your own logic, those views forfeit their protection.

You argue it’s important to demonstrate opposition to harmful views. That’s exactly what content moderation is - society collectively demonstrating opposition to ideas that threaten democratic values and human dignity.

You claim repression breeds hate and echo chambers. But platforming hate speech (by claiming they’re something to be “debated”) creates echo chambers of hatred and drives away the very people you claim should be engaging in debate. Your approach actually reduces genuine dialogue.

You reference people being killed for scientific beliefs. But you’re comparing the persecution of evidence-based scientific inquiry to the restriction of propaganda designed to harm others. These aren’t remotely equivalent - you’re actually trivializing historical persecution.

You’re basically saying “we must protect Alice’s right to a safe home by platforming Bob’s right to debate burning it down.”

Also your whole “But people who know better are also free to debate them - and prove them wrong” - completely disregards the physical reality of the burden of proof - it takes 0 effort to say “yggstyle hates people of color and that’s why they argue for people to have the freedom to say anything” - and now it’s on you to prove me wrong - but every time you spend time trying I’ll just claim a new ridiculous thing - absolute “freedom of speech” is a godsend for bad faith actors.

I hope you can see why this rhetoric is bullshit and why people should not support anybody’s “freedom of speech” to debate people’s rights to exist.

Meanwhile, the Houthis have lobbed repeated attacks at lsrael, as wellI as U.S. warships operating in the Red Sea, raising fears that one may make it through and endanger the lives of American service members.

“Won’t somebody think of the US war machine??”
