Oh Jesus Christ

I know that I’m more informed than most on antisemitism, but like, goddammit, none of you really know anything about antisemitism except There Was A Holocaust Once. No wonder half of you don’t realize that you sound like fucking Nazis half of the time. So yes, Iran has been actively antisemitic in the past! Defeating antisemitism is not a fucking side quest, it’s essential to social justice.

The main people I’ve been seeing critique Iran praising have been… Iranians! Like you can correctly blame its shit government on imperialism, but it’s still a shit Islamofascist government.

Two things can be true at once: Palestine can be experiencing genocide, and the Islamic world can largely be attacking Israel because of a drive for non-Jewish control of the land rather than a deep care for human rights. Your politics have to have much more nuance that “well if America hates them they must be good”.

There is no excuse for antisemitism and antisemitism denial in Pro-Palestinian Spaces. If you find antisemitism essential to your pro-Palestinian activism, you should really consider if your actual motivation is Palestinian liberation.

yall want to see some tankie bullshit??

i wish the op of this was here so i could murder them with my own bare hands

This is the deeply homophobic + transphobic autocracy that tankies worship so much 😒

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — The Russian Justice Ministry on Friday said it has filed a lawsuit with the nation’s Supreme Court to outlaw the LGBTQ+ “international public movement” as extremist, the latest crippling blow against the already beleaguered LGBTQ+ community in the increasingly conservative country.

The crackdown, which began a decade ago, slowly but surely chipped away at LGBTQ+ rights. In 2013, the Kremlin adopted the first legislation restricting LGBTQ+ rights, known as the “gay propaganda” law, banning any non-critical public depiction of “nontraditional sexual relations” among minors. In 2020, Putin pushed through a constitutional reform to extend his rule by two more terms that also outlawed same-sex marriage.

In 2022, after sending troops into Ukraine, the Kremlin ramped up its rhetoric about protecting “traditional values” from what it called the West’s “degrading” influence, in what rights advocates saw as an attempt to legitimize the war in Ukraine. That same year, the authorities adopted a law banning propaganda of “nontraditional sexual relations” among adults, too, effectively outlawing any public endorsement of LGBTQ+ people.

Another law passed this year prohibited gender transitioning procedures and gender-affirming care for trans people. The legislation prohibited any “medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person,” as well as changing one’s gender in official documents and public records. It also amended Russia’s Family Code by listing gender change as a reason to annul a marriage and adding those “who had changed gender” to a list of people who can’t become foster or adoptive parents.

“Do we really want to have here, in our country, in Russia, ‘Parent No. 1, No. 2, No. 3’ instead of ‘mom’ and ‘dad?’” Putin said in September 2022 at a ceremony to formalize Moscow’s annexation of four Ukrainian regions. “Do we really want perversions that lead to degradation and extinction to be imposed in our schools from the primary grades?”

tankies on here will act like they’re the most oppressed group on earth but the moment someone says that hey, maybe we shouldn’t worship stalin/lenin/mao etc. they literally start sending death threats to people istg

The largest obstacle to modern leftism in my country is that modern Socialists and Communists actively hate interacting with other people and refuse to compromise on anything to the point that they are not social and refuse to participate in a community.

Like some of y’all will preach radical acceptance and human rights but the second someone is marginally different you start talking like a cop

Hell I am guilty of that shit during my highschool years. But you fuckers need to learn how to talk to people like you don’t have a screen and two states between the two of you
