We all know the hypocrisies of the pro- Israel stances, I’m not going into specific arguments but it’s just everywhere. Normal people seem to have bought in even quicker than they did with supporting Ukraine. it’s awful. Free Palestine.

    what's shocking to me is how utterly bloodthirsty they are - basically advocating for the wholesale murder of all Gazan inhabitants. what the fuck? what happened?

    was there some sort of manchurian candidate-style trigger phrase that turned all of these people into genocide lovers overnight?

      they saw a pretty white girl get killed by the brown hordes, it shuts down all their higher brain functions and sets off the monkey signals that make them want to kill

        Protecting white women from real or imagined violence by us-foreign-policy the other is and always has been a key element of white supremacism and often of fascism generally.

        Before 9/11, about 90% of Fox News' airtime was "missing wealthy young white woman" stories. us-foreign-policy

        This is such an effective propaganda trick, it strikes people right where they're most vulnerable, in their hearts, by showing someone you could fall in love with killed in a war that naturally takes lives and commits attrocities in both sides. We all have simple monkey brains at the end of the day, and that can be very easily exploited by those with power.

      Reminds me of when 9/11 happened and suddenly the hogs (and libs tbh) were all calling for saddams head and to "glass the place" like their trigger phrase went off.

      Worth keeping in mind that;

      1.) People who post online are already deeply weird freaks

      2.) There are a lot of Zionists out there. Like not relative to the world population or anything, but Zionists have a very developed online propaganda system. Both individuals working alone or coordinating to push Zionist views, and official operations by the Israeli government and possibly allied governments. The use of sock-puppets has been documented in the past, and I'm sure they're making extensive use of bots these days to magnify and amplify their apparent numbers. It's a normal part of 21st century information warfare and you can see it at work by nationalists from most countries.

      The trigger was just that it's white people killing brown people so it's back to business as normal.

      It sounds simplisitic but the support for ukraine was literally because somebody was doing what we always do, but to white people.

      This is par for the course.
