I will meet all kinds of people where they're at. I believe there are things we can do that would benefit everyone, even people who don't like me based on who I am. but when you tell me I have to tiptoe around their feelings, lol no. that's not how mutual respect is built in the first place

I pushed back on a Zionist's twisted narrative of the Maccabi Hooligans story and he called it "jihadist propaganda" and I laughed and laughed and laughed. The mental gymnastics they will perform deserves a gold medal even though they should be banned from all competition.

We just saw the US Empire’s minions — our so-called leaders — lie in unison about something there is video evidence for, as well as news organisations deleting footage to protect this false narrative.
Now imagine everything else they’re lying about.
They are the enemy of us all

It’s deeply disturbing watching every Western leader become an unthinking puppet to defend the US-Israeli genocide. It doesn’t matter which country or which platform they were voted in on, they’re all, every one, totally subservient to Empire. This is incompatible with democracy.

I see paid-for politicians got the memo to tweet the same shit about violent, baby-killing thugs who got their asses kicked, but make no mistake they don’t give a fuck — they just want to leverage this to help justify their genocide by painting Israelis as the victims they aren’t
