Just reading the pinned post on r/worldnews makes me recoil with the unending racism, genocide denial and the cheering of the killings. I wonder if most of the Westoids are just so far gone or purely evil.
I haven’t looked at reddit for a long while, but I feel that being banned from worldnews was practically a rite of passage for leftists using reddit. I am not remotely surprised that they would be consistent about taking the worst stance possible.
At least this will be documented for our kids to see. They will never be able to deny or cover up that they were the ones who enabled the genocide.
The day when a Zionist settler manages to explain exactly how the situation is complicated the sun would have risen from the west.
“It’s complicated because although the Jews were a minority in Palestine after WW2, we can’t ignore the many Jews living there now”. Paraphrasing from something I heard on TV.
I’m not so hopeful that this current eruption of visible violence (to the western world) will result in a free Palestine, although I do reserve a naive glimmer of hope for all good things somewhere in my mind. Two things I hope people everywhere walk away with are the humanization of Palestinians as worthy of life and being denied it by Israel and erasing the concept of “complicated” from this whole situation. Everyone who is paying attention sees an uncomplicated situation where one side subjugates another and the subjugated ones fought back and are now being collectively massacred as a result. Everyone can see the inherent injustice in such actions even within the “starting on Oct 7” context. Once people uncomplicate things the solution becomes clear.
Not unlike a materialist view of the world, once you strip away the bullshit film smeared on by neoliberals to mystify everything, it all becomes so simple that you wonder how you never saw it before. And you wonder how it is that all those around you can’t also see it.
That’s my super paraphrased, shitty, condensed Marx summary.
All the “it’s complicated” people just use that framing to either obfuscate the truth from you/others or to cope within themselves. Whether it’s economics or the conflict in Palestine, it’s rarely ever complicated at the core. I hope people learn to kneejerk reject that framing. That means the next step to solving things is really close.
Dumb fascist needs to shut up about “complexity.” Anybody who holds the world view “my race good, other race bad” has forfeited any claim to understanding nuance.
It’s so complicated bro. Because we don’t want to be complicit in the genocide we are supporting.
Lol I think this is the locked thread on r/movies right? So there’s only like 40 comments but they all have thousands of points.
This image has literally seven things I dislike: Bush 43, Amy Schumer, Israel, Reddit, grandstanding, defending a vote brigade, and someone using reddit unironically
