I've started seeing various stories of people in the media speaking out in support of Palestine and being swiftly fired. I'm very curious if the current state of propaganda is going to increase the chance of people working in non-public facing jobs of also being fired and branded anti-Semitic. I'm scared of this coming up in the workplace because I don't think I'd be able to keep my mouth shut and I could absolutely see certain people starting shit.
Thing is this won't work on most people. They'll see those numbers and be like "well they're terrorists, and also Hamas uses human shields." They will always find a way to justify Israel.
"Damn, Hamas must be pretty dumb then, continuing to use that tactic, even after the IDF has repeatedly demonstrated willingness to shoot through them without hesitation."
Parenti quote them
Which one?
The "nonfalsifiable orthodoxy" bit in particular. Point out to them that they (and the media they read) are "transform[ing] any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence."
Maybe not, people can only see the truth of the matter if they want to. If their worldview requires it to be a conflict of good vs evil, than they probably will ignore it to perserve their worldview.
My reply would be that they are also people who see themselves as in a shitty situation.
That is very likely true, but you don't know until you actually bring up the issue with them.
