news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

As usual, the libs have created an impossible to escape rhetorical hole. They can't criticize this except to point out that's it's racist, which can easily be countered by leaning on the consensus that even the idea of Palestinian freedom and autonomy is antisemitic. They've already made this particular racist act completely acceptable by spending several decades acting like Jewish and Palestinian lives are mutually exclusive. The libs also can't critique racism in general because then they have to act like tankies and critique how capitalist power is maintained. They can say racism is bad, but they can't say why. Rightwingers will just say it's good, and the reason it's good is because it punishes the scapegoat.
Sorry. This is just a small brain dump. I occasionally see some new aspect of the complete irrationality of the environment I'm living in and I want to articulate it. In this case it's the constant assertion that like capitalism, there is no alternative to Israeli violence in Gaza.
