      I don’t understand this, either. It happens in other ethnic groups (mine included). Whitey does not care about who came from where, only that you have one drop of non-white blood. You will be treated the same with complete disregard.

      Just look at how non-Arabs were treated after 9/11. Whitey couldn’t keep his racism focused on one group. He used it as an excuse to target Sikhs, Persians, and more.

        It’s because they see another image of themselves through a white producer, believe it and try to disassociate from it, their egos blind them from learning about each other, and so apply their understanding to the results of the other, “why are they shooting at each other? we don’t do that over here there must be something wrong with them” “why are they selling drugs? we don’t do that over here there must be something wrong with them” “why are they living in huts? we don’t do that over here there must be something wrong with them” they didn’t learn this from their experience, they didn’t learn it from talking to people from there, they didn’t learn it from a book, they learned it from the same screen.

      I mean I agree that a burning Israel flag emoji would give fascists rhetorical ammunition (edit: very poor choice of words but I believe in posting your Ls) but agreeing with the antisemitism smear is a step too far. If Norm Finkelstein and other anti-Zionist Jewish people see fit to call Zionism a Jewish supremacist project then I’m not inclined to agree that it’s antisemitic to say so.

      Also deflecting criticism by yelling at people to go outside strikes me as disingenuous, un-self aware, and fragile. Maybe this site is mostly for shitposting but I don’t see what’s wrong with using it as a sounding board to figure out how you feel about real life issues, some of the time.

          Yeah I don’t get why we should care about fascist ammunition ever. They make shit up over nothing, we shouldn’t have to self censor over what they could possibly take and run with. Then that means we’re preemptively neutering ourselves before anything happens.

            Agree, something, something the Jean Paul Satre quote about not taking the antisemite seriously we also are one of the few sites that documents the genocide in its entirety, any lawman coming through wanting to bump us off would have done so already and done real harm to people being informed about the genocide.

            Apparently we’ve also already been reported to federal agencies and the site isn’t gone yet, so I don’t see why a religious symbol burning would change anything when we regularly distribute images of the zionist flag burning.

              Saving most of my thoughts for the inevitable struggle session but shouldn’t we be smart enough to recognize when we’re burning the zionist flag vs. burning the star of David? If one’s in a thread about isntreals crimes and another is a random post unrelated to isntreal, I think we can tell which is antisemitic.

                It’s just liberal zionists deflecting, I truly dont believe they think burning an ethnostate’s flag is on par with the antisemitic hate crime of burning the star of David to get at Jewish people

                They’re just butthurt and trying to find a “leftist” defense of their butthurt instead of doing self reflection

          True enough and very good point, thank you for keeping it real. Definitely not trying to die on that hill, actually now that you mention it I feel like that was an ass take on my part. I’ve thought about it a little more and I think the most reasonable argument is that depending on how the laws go, having an emoji like that could end up getting the site shut down. But that’s very hypothetical and meanwhile, yeah they’re starving hundreds of thousand of children for crying out loud. Country full of psycho killers doesn’t deserve that kind of consideration.

          But actually I don’t remember this ever being made a policy in the first place. If I recall correctly, WhyEsEff said she personally wasn’t comfortable making the emoji but if someone else wanted to, they’re free to do so. Then everyone just left it at that. Anyway, I’m for it, and I might fire up GIMP myself.

        Yeah there are like, 2 valid-ish reasons for us not to have the Israeli flag burning as an emoji. Neither were actually defended in that horrible thread. It’s especially white to browbeat the people who are asking for the emoji as all being antisemites when they were all active users of the site, many are Arab, and none said anything even slightly antisemitic. Also “Jewish exceptionalism” is too far now? Ffs.

          White leftists going “please touch grass and organize!!!” as a escape hatch to any criticism they receive. The first part seems like grounds so I won’t comment on that.

            It is ridiculous. I can kinda understand where the pearl clutching is coming from because in my own conversations with people in my country, which has a pretty low Jewish population, there’s been a lot of ignorance about the Holocaust and antisemitism more broadly, so I can understand why there’s an aversion to any narrative or term that can be weaponized by antisemites (those sorts of things fester among those who are ignorant about history) but it’s perhaps the most appropriate website in the web to have these conversations safely.

    Sometimes I’ll read posts in anglo-left spaces and realize I’m much more socially conservative compared to them. You could say I’m a product of my culture having lived in a small rural town for as long as I have. I make an effort to educate myself more with sites like this but occasionally I do come across some posts that make me reflexively roll my eyes.

        wellp, our star mod weighed in on the referendum thread and predictably his ultimate word was a variant of “fuck off, fuck you, fuck fuck fuck,” denying any wrongdoing, pouting, and then leaving. Personally I don’t think anyone who tells a regular user to kill themself should be a mod on this site, regardless of how annoying they might find them.

          That person is just the standard embodiment of white people: given power they absolutely didn’t deserve and definitely don’t have the proper intellect to handle yet ego so inflated that they think minorities are just dumb and uneducated and even tho literally everyone telling them they should self crit they deny it in favor of their own delusions

            yup, it’s that self-assuredness, lack of self-awareness, and the obvious lack of emotional control, plus the two-faced progression:

            In this thread https://hexbear.net/post/5878074/6419306

            Why should I engage in any faith good or bad when they accused me of “white pearl clutching” when I told them that Zionism isn’t about Jewish supremacy it is about white supremacy

            and:

            This is literally anti-Semitic. It isn’t “Jewish exceptionalism” it’s just white supremacy. … You are stepping into actually anti-semitic territory with this and proving why we don’t have that emoji.

            They repeatedly used the phrase “Jewish exceptionalism” and accused me of “white pearl clutching” when I pointed out that it was actually white supremacy that drives Zionism

            (Notice the subtle equivocation) Then in the referendum thread https://hexbear.net/comment/6423603:

            I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE EMOJI.

            Well which one is it? If he’d actually listened to the arguments in the first thread instead of having a meltdown then he would have skipped the steps where he accidentally parrotted Zionist talking points only to walk it all back later.,

            Aside, he owes Aradino a real apology, not this:

            And I applaud that as someone that has also contributed what little of my time I can spare to various causes against colonialism including practically all my meager inheritance

            —after making this egregious comment and then getting a reality check from Aradino: https://hexbear.net/comment/6420296

            He should not be banned imo, but definitely demodded and made to self-crit, I think it would be good for him

              This is the type of person no self respecting leftist would take serious in real life. Incredibly childish and a head big with no right to be. I would place 0 trust in anything this individual says or does. I agree a ban isn’t necessary but the power most definitely needs to be stripped away and there should be constant pressure for self crit should they choose to still try and engage with this community. Though probably none of that will happen

                Yeah I guess that’s why I’m still posting about it long after my first comment at breakfast time, lmao. I don’t expect anything to really change except for we get the emoji and some more people get banned for not enjoying the site properly.

                Which, I gotta say, banning people for breaking the “enjoyment of the site” rules is BS. It’s so patronizing, who are they to determine who’s enjoying themselves the right way or not? Personally I enjoy fighting crackerdom, and it just so happens that the crackerdom is coming from inside the house. My blood pressure has been even keel all day, except for a very brief spike of anxiety whenever I see this guy post. Demod Nakoichi

                  There are clearly other mods/admins who are interested in protecting Nakoichi and probably share similar patronizing sentiments, it’s a bigger sitewide problem. Yes the call is coming from inside the house

                  The time I do spend on this website I’ll continue to call it out as well, I have no interest in carrying on posting memes pretending like we’re not being redirected through a veiled bureaucracy whenever there’s a legitimate complaint that is extremely one sided by the userbase
