they complained about feeling alienated from progressive spaces for their zionist beliefs
:wonder-who-thats-for:
hahahahahaha birthright fucking radicalized me outta liberalism since they took us to a fucking minefield and a military tech presentation and tried to spin both as a good thing
my parents dont agree that it was appalling :torment:
oh yeah birthright was an eye-opener for me too. they talked about muslims like people back home talk about the romani.
Birthright is based in settler brainworms of white jews believing they are native to palestine. they talk a LOT about hamas and straight up showed facial recognition military tech to us and tried to pass it off as not HORRIBLY dystopic.
Attendees can instead not go on a guided tour and follow internet advice on where to look. the guided tours are the most psychotic shit. ditch anything military IMMEDIATELY, they will effectively call for genocide.
You know this wouldn't have happened if you had stuck to your pledge but you made it real easy for the one good cop.
See you in jail sucker. :volcel-judge:
Like I know this isn't the same but I'm a passing bi trans woman and I've had gold star lesbians hit me up before and there is always the moment of realization that I know they're gold star lesbians and are very bigoted and are about to say some really shitty things and its kinda like a period of intense ennui or something. Like, we could be friends! We have similar interests. We're both queer. Thats rare! But you decided to be a complete and utter asshole for no reason!
I feel like you're getting at what I felt there. That just sudden feeling of knowing what someone is completely about.
Lesbians who define themselves based on their idea that penis is bad and evil and must be avoided at all costs. This often is just some weird form of self-superiority commingled with transphobia, biphobia, panphobia, etc. They'll often also reject late bloomer lesbians who didn't realize they were gay until later in life.
All in all, just a group of extremely toxic lesbians who define themselves based on the fact that they've never touched a dick and harshly judge anyone who has.
I cant imagine talking about Israel on a dating app. That is literally the least hot subject.
This comment was actually really helpful for me in figuring out ways to have this argument with my family, thank you!
I'm glad it could help! When I posted this I wasn't sure how much engagement I'd get since this is a pretty inactive sub, but I greatly appreciate the feedback and solidarity here. Knowing that I've helped another comrade is the kicker, though, and now I know for sure it was worth the vulnerability/risk.
Same thing happens with Zionist Christians. There are so many “progressives” in the Bible Belt who are completely apologetic of Israel.
Maybe it's some kind of national-consumerism. I guess that's what all nationalism is, it's just countries as personality. They don't actually know or care about the politics of it on the ground, in the real world. To a lot of people, this stuff is just ideas, because people are privileged enough to never be affected by it.
Unironically, my strategy has been to explicitly look only for leftists when dating, everything else falls on the backburner. No communism, no date. This has resulted in other issues though, but what lesbian hasn't fallen into the valley between the urge to u-haul and the difficulty of dating someone on another continent?
Like I said, every lesbian knows the pain of falling for someone 5000 miles away. Now it is your turn!
Ooh I remember how all the singles events had this awful stench of settler colonialism around them…
Also jew-ish and also feel very isolated from jewish stuff in my area. I always try to remind myself that israel doesn't represent the diaspora and there are cool groups like JVP. Also this: https://youtu.be/tQMRwk8WDd4
