If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. - Desmond Tutu
It really is that simple folks. Any both-sidesism, well-actualling, or fence-sitting as it relates to Israel and Palestine is simple moral cowardice. Anything less than full-throated support for Palestinian liberation and denunciation of Israel apartheid and murder is de facto support for Israel.
Liberals love to talk about nuance and how actually issues are very complex because they don't have principles; they have positions that can be changed at any moment according to their convenience. They pretend that not taking a stand is a sign of their intelligence, maturity and objectivity. In actuality they are as cowardly and vicious as the most rabid neocon. Their hands are drenched in blood.
Sorry, just had to vent. The last week has been a real blackpill for me, even as someone who lived through the hysteria of 9/11. Death to America. Death to Israel. Death to the West.
Liberals love to talk about nuance in order to justify imperialism and capitalism. Any time nuance comes up in discussions like "not all Palestinians are Hamas" you get "well they voted for them" or "why don't they protest or leave?"
Just complete ignorance of geopolitics on any level. There are people with Phd's that don't really know everything going on over there, but 20 year old stoned redditors have this on lock?
The nice thing about holding the hegemonic view is that you never have to put any real effort into defending it.
Yup, you just get to be "smart" to all your other ignorant friends and strangers on the internet. There is no ramifications for being wrong when everyone agrees with you
liberals were all maga from 2017-2020, I am very smart
(please suspend the fact of blue maga momentarily, just for the sake of this joke)
So one of the most anti-Trump, anti-GOP liberals I know is now posting clips of Charlie Kirk defending Israel and shit like “Hamas fucked around now they’ll find out” like wtf? What’s weird is he was posting pro-Israel stuff on his stories and I replied via private message and he got worse after that hardening his position and doubling down even though I asked him why he’s being indistinguishable from a MAGA type on this issue.
