Perhaps she should've thought about that when she was cheerleading the crowd of neocons who are perpetrating all of this.

Sooo...what exactly has changed? That still sounds like right and left to me.

Chuck Shumer is offended by your comment. But he's willing to upvote it so long as you promise to be cool with Israel.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Uh what? In the US both sides are eager and chuffed to fight wars for the return of their imaginary Avengers superhero.

The politicians? Sure. But the average American liberal/leftist just wants peace and universal healthcare.

[–] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

Same. Aristocrats vs common people.

You're coming a looooong long way, MTG. Maybe it's time to study and read socialist theory, perhaps? https://redsails.org/

And whose fault is that Marj? Why don't you go back to sucking the teet of big Nazi again, it's all your mouth is good for.

FUCK USA, FUCK ISRAEL AND FUCK IRAN regime! go fuck your selfs! People are dying for you to play games! fuck off. FUCK USA.

Ok. Yes. BUT.

You're against supporting Israel because you're antisemitic.

I'm against supporting Israel because I'm anti-imperialist and anti-war.

We are DEFINITELY not the same.

I don't even think it's (predominantly) her antisemitism that's causing this, because she definitely also (probably moreso) hates Muslims; it's her backwater isolationist mentality that the US should never help anybody but ourselves (totally ignoring how much helping others disproportionately helps us). I wrote a very large portion of Greene's article on Wikipedia in 2021, and one of the biggest throughlines for her support for Donald Trump in 2020 was isolationism ("America First").

It's also why Greene was outspoken against the US' invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro. An ardent anti-interventionalist is bound to occasionally be correct when the one intervening is an impulsive, reckless, bigoted, selfish imperialist.

But it is definitely mixed in there. Make no mistake, she would happily see Israel bombed into oblivion so she can go straight to heaven on the rapture bus.

If you look at Tucker's rhetoric, its very similar.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Greene became politically engaged in 2016 when Trump's isolationist, white supremacist campaign message resonated with her (two years later in 2018, she moderated a white supremacist conspiracy group on Facebook whose acronym was "FAP"; not relevant, just bringing it up); there's not a chance in hell her rhetoric wasn't also inspired by Carlson's around that time (Trump's messaging surely was).

Fuck off Marjorie. You don't get to be the "Jewish space lasers" lady and a critic of the GOP. Talking shit now doesn't make you look good, you just look willing to abandon your position when you think it'll score you points. Republicans truly know how to find the weakest, stupidest, least genuine humans among us.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s a white women of MAGA riff. She was given a role within their patriarchal shitshow. She tried to move out of it (wanted a spot in the Senate instead). Was told no. Spoke out against them in response. Now censured by maga.

I’m not defending her. But that is the pattern.

Man. The fact that the three republican front runners for 2028 are all out-flanking Democrats from the left. Tucker, MTG, Owens.

I'll take "shit we said would happen, but couldn't get people to listen" for $200, Alec.

A friendly reminder that just because a fascist and a Nazi has a disdain for Israel, they're still NOT allies. They're still a fascist/Nazi, they're not to be trusted and/or praised. The left, be they Libertarian Socialists, Marxist-Leninists, Maoists or Anarchists, support the Palestinian cause as it mirrors so many oppressors vs. oppressed dynamics throughout history. Muslims feel obligated to support their fellow Muslims in despair.

Fascists/Nazis oppose Israel out of their irrational hatred of Jews. There's no separation of the State of Israel and the global Jewish community; they're one and the same to them. They erroneously believe that they and Palestinian Arabs share a common enemy when, in fact, Palestine's struggle is against colonists oppression. Hamas and Hezbollah may spout antisemitic views but this an extension of their radical Islamism. If Fascists/Nazi had their way, Jews, Arabs and all other non-whites would share the gas chambers. They boast about bogus but widely believed antisemitic conspiracies: Rothschilds, George Soros, ZOG, Cultural Marxism, Great Replacement, so on and so forth. The Rothschilds and Soros are, indeed, pieces of shits but, once again, fascists/Nazis hyperfixate on their Jewishness.

The media will portray the global solidarity movement as in league with fascists and Nazis. We must make clear that fascists and Nazis are not welcomed. That is why it's important that we, under no circumstance whatsoever, make alliances with fascists/Nazis.

Yes but did Charlie consider that Trump would need a really bigly distraction from people talking about how he raped kids?

I don't want to have or need health insurance... I want my taxes to fund Universal Healthcare, not wars.

I want my Gov to service my needs, and my neighbors needs, not to function as an entity that taxes the many and profits the already rich few.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

but have you considered doing none of that and instead owning the libs?

Timothy Snyder has talked about how anti-Semitism is going to be the weapon of choice for one faction of Trump's court as they position themselves for the post trump transition. JD Vance will pin all of Trump's crazy shit on Miller and then try to pin Miller on Rubio. Don't be surprised if "Israel is responsible for our imperial decline" becomes the post-MAGA "stab in the back theory" of the 2030s... That's why these fuckers LOATHE progressive anti-Zionist Jews like JVP.

I'd bet real money that her and all the other "conscientious MAGA objectors" would still vote Trump if they had another chance, though.

Those things she mentioned all seem pretty aligned to left vs right to me. Welcome to the left, MTG.

Not that I expect her to be in any way consistent about supporting those values. I just think she'd have an aneurism from being welcomed to the left. XD
