I like sending this to my liberal American friends because I think readings from their own civil religion have a better chance at radicalizing them than my usual rants.

This Hog has Shit 💩 on its Testicles

A quick guide to Israeli PR:

1. We haven't heard reports of deaths; will check into it
2. The people were killed, but by a faulty Palestinian rocket/bomb
3. OK we killed them, but they were terrorists
4. OK they were civilians, but they were being used as human shields
5. OK there were no fighters in the area, so it was our mistake. But we kill civilians by accident, they do it on purpose
6. OK we kill far more civilians than they do, but look at how terrible other countries are!
7. Why are you still talking about Israel? Are you some kind of anti-semite?

Had to preserve this little nugget from @Tastysnack because I'm definitely going to be looking for it again in the future.

I don't bully anyone into revolutionary thought because building social justice awareness, economic understanding and critical thinking are journey's everyone takes at different paces based on circumstances I'm not privy to.

What I do bully people for is having bigoted opinions or arrogant takes based on personal bias and subversive media slop that fundamentally impacts other people's lives, wellbeing and right to exist as themselves within our system.

You can be a raging lib and not a bigot, yes there's a deeper conversation to be had around how neoliberalism IS built upon bigotry and exploitation and that defense of it enabling bigotry but I can work with anyone if they understand what is needed to better minority rights in 2023 without evangelising their milquetoast political takes.

It just so happens most libs I meet online and irl are more concerned with personal trinkets, wants, personal privilege and their cringe entitlement than actually making material changes to improve the lives of those less fortunate than themselves who chances are we're exploited to provide the comfy standard of living most of these asshats speak from.

So like naaaah I don't look for fights, but I'll dirtbag left anyone who wants to debate someone's right to exist in conversation or have takes fuelled by subconscious white supremacy about nations and people they've never understood outside of media propaganda.

Am I the bully in those situations? Or are the majority with their gross ass bigoted takes just so used to being able to vocalise their bigotry with others that me and any other dork on this site calling them out feels like oppression because their victim complex built upon their privilege always sees calls for betterment and self improvement as infringements upon personal liberty vs a collective social call for better standards of discourse and civility?

Yeah we don't take shit on this site but it isn't coming from a place of Liberal/ally/white Knight paternalistic chauvinism but from a place of genuine struggle as most of us ARE victims of the same oppression we have no tolerance for.

That might make us seem immature or combative to the outside and yeah some of us can be dickheads but the core ethos of this site and community is protection of minority groups and promotion of leftist ideals BECAUSE we are both victims of systemic and overt oppression and as leftists who understand our struggle through the lens of society and therefore capitalism we won't relent for someone wanker redditor coming in to flex his debatelord muscles for clout.

Lol the jig is up, we've been the victim of a limited hangout

Damn West coasters, way to lay the groundwork for Wrath Month.
