Opposing genocide you can rightly do, I share that sentiment.
And never have I defended the genocide in Gaza.
Christ.
Is it really. REALLY that difficult to think: "Oh, genocide is bad. But we also shouldn't use vandalism"
Well then what the fuck should we use? Violence?
Your voices? Your money? Your attention?
Please consider those before you start going apeshit, thanks.
My suggestion since early 2024 has been to birthstrike: no more births in the U.S. and other complicit western nations until the children of Gaza are safe and Israel has been held accountable for their heinous acts.
This is especially relevant because younger people are the ones who are: most angry about this, the most politically disenfranchised, most applicable to a birthstrike due to biology.
People shit on me and my 100% legal, non-violent / non-destructive recommendation. To the point where I've had posts and comments removed and even faced bans. So I've simply stopped recommending it.
