zionists have been going wild this past week. The amount of FUD they've been spreading about pro-palestine protests is insane. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. I thought the war in ukraine was bad.
What did you type at first? The only idiom I can think of is hog wild.
i can't find etymology of that one way or the other.
This is what it was like from like 2001-2003 and then slightly less insane from 2003-maybe 2015? Once Trump won it seemed like libs switched (temporarily) to "maybe Israel... isn't good?" Now they're back on full deepthroating the boot mode.
Buddy of mine went to some small white town to visit his parents. He said they were freaking out about him suggesting dinner at a restaurant because Hamas might attack them. He walked around town and saw a bunch of bubbas with American flags patrolling the business block with with melee weapons or open carrying pistols. Guess nobody had ARs soaked in bacon grease that day.
So heartwarming how Democrats and Republicans can put their love for Empire above their petty differences. True bipartisanship.
Islam is just the tip of the Iceberg for the centuries-old Western tradition of invoking the menacing silhouette of an orientalized, nonwhite horde to justify imperial violence and subjugation, at least since the Spanish Reconquista and subsequent age of colonization. When rightoids are hand-wringing about Muslim refugees supposedly preying on women, it is almost always the image of a brown or black man “defiling” a white woman. Islam is simply a convenient shorthand for that, which has the fig leaf of technically not being a race. And recent events have shown that’s Islamaphobia is as useful for the ruling class of today as it was to Iberian Christian monarchs.
it’s fundamentally the same mechanisms at play here behind yellow peril and anti-China hysteria. Which in itself intersects with racialized anticommunism (as Nazi propaganda depicting “asiatic” reds demonstrates), despite Marxism’s origins in Europe.
I'm expecting more shit like this from them including violence against protesters
I'm expecting some very uncomfortable for the state court cases in addition to it.
Zionists have been publishing a database of random students protesting Israel on campus or supporting BDS. They’ve successfully criminalized BDS so I can imagine they have immense power to commit heinous shit here in the states
I will say this much that at least gives me some hope but it feels like it's only evangelical boomers, their allies and the brunch crowd that gives a shit about Isn'treal. I've been seeing a huge outpouring of support for Palestine. ofc Israel has the media, the us government, and arms manufactures backing them up but it feels like the rest of the world is aligned behind hamas.
