    You can smell the "I'm apolitical/actually very progressive" and the "No, I haven't considered/didn't opt for conscientious objection to IOF mandatory service" through the screen

      Right on the money. He's a liberal who's horrified by Netanyahu's constitutional reforms. He also posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillologycirclejerk/comments/q3beji/flag_of_palestine_but_it_will_spark_a_ruthless/

        Wait, I'm sorry, but the vexillology post is really funny. If a Hexbear posted that on a lib lemmy comm it'd be hilarious. I guess their intention with it was "redditors are so antisemitic they'll bust a vein from seeing the Israeli flag" while my no-context reading was "redditors are such garbage you know there's gonna be a thousand jerkoffs going 'well ackchually' in the comment section."

        Edit: nevermind, just saw the 13/50 post he also made. barbara-pit

          That context is important. If a hexbear user posted this I'd assume they're a communist making a shitty joke. It's too one-dimensionally edgelord for an anti-Zionist to post. When it's a Zionist posting it from Israel in the lead-up to its current genocide, it's just like a Nazi posting "Here's the Soviet flag" with a swastika in 1937.

            tgcj is also fine if you can get past the definitely not ironic dysphoria posting, cloaked in irony. trans people start at left-lib for the most part and it's not very hard to convince most of them to become comrades of one sort or another, and it shows in the posts on that sub.

      Also quick question why does at minimum one out of every t people you play against know you're isreali? Isn't chess pretty much completely anonymous. Or are you upset you're getting called out despite making it a part of your personality.

    For like 20 goddamn years a player can't join a game without being harassed for having a Chinese name. Everything from "Taiwan no. 1!" to boiler plate racism.

        I feel like that doesn't actually work anymore because people have done that in a game I played in and they still kept playing and just ignored the comments.

    The terrorist in question. Shortly before the invasion he left to study music in New York. He's afraid his relationship back in Israel might not last. Tell him that his girlfriend has already left him for a real man soldier and maybe he'll go die in the war he supports.

        This is my favorite emoji and one of my favorite images ever. The fact that it's Scott the Woz, the whitest possible person, the bad fit of the t shirt and the expression and stance showing HE MEANS IT. If he can look kinda cool just by being based, anyone can.

    If I see an israeli flag crop up for my opponents in T8 or Street Fighter, I walk too-- and I'm actually rather grateful that latter generations gave us the opportunity to decline arranged matches. I'm not giving those terrorist scumbags a minute of my time.

      I think the reason liberals have fully embraced the antisemitism scare is because they think they found a loophole to bitch and moan about “anti-white racism” and “white genocide” without consequence.

    I can't solve the conflict

    Nobody expects you to. What you can do is to do your part to end apartheid. You could join pro-Palestinian groups inside settler society, you could refuse to take part in genocide and apartheid and leave Palestine for your homeland or you could simply say free Palestine as well and tell that you support decolonisation and oppose zionism.

    Unlike being a Jew, being a zionist is a choice. Being born into the master race of an an evil fascist state does not predestine you to be a fascist. You can in fact do the right thing.

      I see one and immediately start attacking. scholar's mate into the dumbest fucking wild attack that invariably somehow works out because they panic. I should probably just attack more often and spend less time worrying about playing the right moves.

    I’m from Nazi Germany, and every like 5 games or so I get an opponent that just says “end the Holocaust” or calls me a war criminal and either quits the game or keeps harassing me. Like dude can I just play chess without being called out on my nationality, I can’t solve the conflict and you telling me this makes no one but you feel better. And that’s questionable as well. Makes me not want to go online sometimes.
