No, don’t you get it?
If you ever associate or feel good about anybody who ever turns out to be anything other than perfect, then you are also morally culpable for everything that person or group has ever done or will ever do.
That’s why tankies have no friends.
You forgot to say that glazing Mao and Stalin is perfectly acceptable
I think IndustryStandard is some sort of troll, judging by their comment history. I’m just not sure why.
He’s been here awhile, they’re definitely a tankie. Some of them like to poke at the “liberals” more often than others, they’re probably at the upper end of that range, similar to braininabox, jankforlife etc.
They’re very much behaving like low energy Kalingrad payroll people. No passion, no vision, just following instructions.
The thing that’s really fucked about this is that they are openly calling for violence now, and that .world is allowing them to mod commities here, where if anyone says anything pro-democracy in their echo chambers you get permabanned and called a Zionist.
That and they don’t care about the genocide, they use it as a dogwhistle to recruit disillusioned progressive young people and softly open them up to radicalisation and violence.
You got to wonder why this platform is free.
If nothing changes, the people who created this will be the ones to get it shut down when some idiot will blow up something and have a whole Lemmy history.
Tankies gonna tank.
Destroying their own credibility is the only thing they excel at.
Admittedly, the post still has almost only downvotes. But whoever posted that has some issues.
I am going to ask you to stop slandering Patrick Stewart and stop calling him a zionist. This is your only warning. I’ve had enough of you derailing the thread.
You are acting like a tankie
Leave Britney alone!
I imagine a future where there is no religion, no war, and nothing to kill or die for.
You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.
Everyone is going to hell then lol
Most of the time I find tankie antics annoying or stupidly amusing, but this actually makes me legitimately angry.
Let me preface it with this tankies are terrible people who support a war of aggression on Ukraine but supporting a genocidal state that use the same propaganda to justify colonialism is not being imperfect it’s being a disgusting scum.
He was pro Palestine, literally a few months after visiting Israel he was cheering the UN vote to recognize Palestine as a nonmember state “finally a first step towards Palestinian independence”
He opposed bds. All western leaders who still send weapons to israel claim to support a two state aolution
He opposed bds
Source or gtfo
It is meanless if you don’t support boycott and arms embargo . The genocide is still continuing in Gaza, the number of colonies and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian still increase in the West Bank. The west still lie and send and buy weapons to Israel. We are the farthest from a Palestinian state and closer to the extermination of Palestinians. Also fuck China and Russia for having normal trade with Israel
Most people don’t buy products from Israel anyways, but not because they purposely do so, but because no one offers Israeli products in the first place.
Also his support still means something. Just because it isnt the most extreme measures doesnt mean it means nothing.
This is not true there is plenty of Israeli products and products from companies supporting israel and it’s colonial army
Maybe in the US, but very less so outside of it.
What, specifically, did he say or do to support them? And what was the state of the situation at the time that he said it?
If you’re going to call someone “disgusting scum” you should have something more than a screenshot of a title posted by someone you think is a “terrible person”.
Opposing bds which goal id to hurt israelcprofit to try to put pressure on it. If he went during russia war if aggression on Ukraine to Ukraine thanking Russia and opposing the sanctions he would have been canceled but when it is about palestine , most people have very low standards
That’s not specific. What did he say? Where? When? Citation?
As far as I can tell, he took a 4 day vacation in 2011, and then played a role in a movie filmed there in 2012. He said he enjoyed the food and had a nice visit.
Is that what you’re extrapolating from?You think it is normal to visit a country doing settlers colonialism that is kidnapping, raping, torturing , ethnically cleansing another group for 8 decades?
So you don’t actually have anything beyond “liked the food in 2011”.
