For context:

This is a MoG post about a hexbear comment from 7 months ago complaining about the evocation of Charlie Hebdo against the french

A top comment asks “why so mad against french?”, and the OP (the main mod and poster of MoG) suggests it’s because we “hate france’s freedom of speech and their ‘anti-islam stance’”. Declines to share a link or context to the comment

Out of curiosity I went looking for the context to that comment, and discovered that it was in reaction to a wildly Islamophobic cartoon making a joke about Gazan’s starving during the month of ramadan [linky] [CW: Racism, Islamophobia, genocide]:

The mod then goes to great length to avoid commenting on the racist context of the post, as well as any definitive statement acknowledging the Palestinian Genocide or the culpability of Israel and the IOF. Tries to whatabout China, Russia, and Iran

Turns out libs actually do practice critical support, but instead of critically supporting AES projects they support any state crusading against muslims.

    goat is terrible, I remember calling them out when the MeanwhileOnGrad profile picture was a racist Xi/Winnie the Pooh caricature and they had endless apologism. We should never refederate with sh.itjust.works.

        I honestly don’t think he sees how absurd that insistence is, or else is extremely mindful of his own language to avoid contradicting his statements of non-violence.

        He clearly has no problem with violence against Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran/Russia/China/anyOtherWesternBoogyman, but he’s careful never to outright say it. Whenever he gets close he deflects by whatabouting Iran or Russia or China.

        Anytime somebody says that there’s never an excuse for violence you should just immeidatly say “give me your wallet or ill kick your ass” and then just keep saying that and calling them a hypocrite if they don’t just give it to you.

        “There’s never an excuse for violence” is just something that sounds good to people who have never thought about anything.
