    IDK if these mfers do not know what systemic and procedural discrimination means bc they’re white straight cis dudes who have never faced any systemic and procedural oppression in their entire lifes or if they do get the point and are purposefully lying, but El-Kurd happens to be completely correct once more.

    I know Twitter is bad, but the stuff I’ve seen in the liberal heaven called BlueSky has been some real bad liberalism(fascism) and horrible zionism like this “detective pikaboo” calling twitter anti-semitic because of a victim of “Israel” settler violence.

      If Twitter goes down and you make the effort to join Twitter 2 instead of just finding another addiction/coping mechanism, the discourse has poisoned you terribly. Compared to doomscrolling or gaming or any other online simulacra of the social life neoliberalism took from you, it requires an actual mental/para social effort to discourse. Who has the time to do that kind of engaged posting where if you don’t know today’s storyline it’s meaningless? Who do you think pikaboo is? That’s right, labor aristocrats, the PMC, treatlers. The people whose jobs leave them with time and energy for intensive posting. I should know…

    Western liberals are completely useless in this sort of confrontation. At some point you have to stop granting these people their premises and disengage, it’s been like a decade of antisemitism being brought up specifically as a cudgel against any movement to restrain the entity. A sensible person would at some point stop granting them the ability to suck all the attention and air up.

    Nobody who is harping on about this will ever be satisfied by concessions, and there is no material concession that can even be granted. If you want to stop the genocide you’re going to be called an antisemite, this could not be more clear at this point, but libs are not willing to let anyone think something unpleasant about them. So this will just keep working. It’s infuriating.
