      I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”

      So 🍉 is a representation of the Palestinian flag because it's banned in Israel so people have to use creative ways to represent it.

      🔻is a representation of the red triangle used in the videos where Israeli tanks get blown up by a guy in flip flops running up and duct taping a cartoon bomb to them and running away unharmed

        and the triangle has been legally banned in Germany as if it were on the same level as the swastika

        Why the hell would anyone who’s pro-Palestine have an issue with blowing up some Israeli tanks? It’s not targeting civilians. Do they really think Netanyahu can be Marketplace of Ideas’d into giving Palestinians sovereignty or equal status?

      I'm going to guess the divide between supporting non-violent resistance and violent resistance

      I was thinking about this lately: that the Palestine issue would at some point devolve into identity politics for yt people while POC are left once again picking up where the yt moderates have dropped everything.

      Some of yt people are for "free Palestine" but only POC (and even then it's a toss up if they're not liberals) are minecraft to Israel.

      This was bound to happen, I just didn't think it would happen so soon.

    Team hamas-red-triangle because if I die (like say, in 1984 Orwellian peepeepoopoo PIGPOOPBALLS South Africa), I also want to take some frothingfash PO PO to the grave for company. Gonna die even if "peacefully protesting", so might as well. Also quickly repurpose John Voerster's grave as a bathroom
