No, just a wrong thing, since you specifically said "conventionally" attractive. As others have pointed out to you, that isn't the case. Which is the point of the meme were all responding to.

It's weird, I have too had issues with the term, but never really thought of it in the sense of accepting the language of the perpetrator. I just hate it in the context of Palestine, where it is sort of used by libs to, as you say, soften the accusation of genocide. This of course rests on the false premise that the Israeli don't want to outright genocide Palestinians, but simply "drive them out", as if Palestinians were just generic "arabs" who will immediately assimilate and become Egyptians, Jordanians, Syrians etc. if they flee, and not a unique people with a unique culture and a homeland - which the Israelis want to destroy and build fucking beach resorts on. It's kind of a bullshit term for people too chickenshit to call a genocide what it is.

Anyway, not sure I added anything to your point, I just thought your almost etymological objection to the word was interesting. Just another reason to call a genocidal spade a genocidal spade.

You don't think the Israelis lash out and nuke someone in that scenario? I can't recall the exact source (and too lazy to go searching rn), but I seem to recall someone here mentioning that a retired Israeli military official said in his memoirs (huge grain of salt, obviously) that in the event of perceived "betrayal" of Israel, the nukes might be pointed at the West.

Saw a TV show the other day where a Cuban refugee is sick and someone goes "They had to flee. No way to get treatment in Cuba." and I'm just like, Cuba? The country with one of the world's best healthcare systems? The one that educates the most doctors per capita? That Cuba?

But sure, flee to the US, where penniless immigrants tend to have access to excellent care, I'm sure.

Dying of hypothermia because the Swiss failed to burn an effigy that one time. Classic!

One second of attempted reflection, then the inevitable: "oooh, they hate us because they are terrorists/authoritarians/evil/democracy h8ers - that makes sense!"

That's... not antisemitic? You can tell me that the people who hung that banner are nazis, and you might be right, but being anti-zionist is not the same as being anti-semitic. Do you have any actual examples of what you're claiming happens?

Can you provide evidence of neo-nazis who actually justify their antisemitism as being pro-Palestine? Anti-jewish violence from fascists has been a constant throughout the years, including years where Israel/Palestine has gotten much less attention, and to this date the only people I have never seen an actual example of what you describe. I have heard the claim a million times from zionists, though.

I start to think and then I sink into the paper, like I was ink / when I'm writing I'm trapped in between the lines / I escape - when I finish the rhyme

What an absolute badass

Ooh, didn't know he wrote one on Stalin. Reading "Liberalism: A Counter-History" right now, and he goes hard

Yikes. What a loser
