Lol! Are we getting a bit flustered, enlightened centrist?
Come now... be honest. What were you doing when antifa was throwing down with fascists in the streets?
Want me to take a stab at it? I'd guess you were heckling those antifascists real hard, weren't you? After all... how dare those troublemakers invite real fascism by harrassing those totally not-neo-nazis and their police allies while they were innocently walking down the streets, eh?
Fascists can always find a use for centrists... after all - it's pretty much proven that centrists pose no threat to them. That must be a pretty comforting thought for you.
Can't rebut anything and resort to usual lefty parroting points and buzzwords. Can't admit you don't know anything about the wider world apart from the naive lefty narrative you just regurgitate. Sure, call everything gay on anything you don't like. That's how you were conditioned. You pretend you're not a bigot but you are. Come back to the big boy's table when you've grown up. Oh wait... probably too late for you.
And I am guessing you only condone violence if it only serves you. So are you condoning Hamas taking foreign hostages who have nothing to do with the conflict? Least critical thinking troll.
Oh, you are absolutely correct, centrist - I cannot rebut the "see no fascism, hear no fascism, speak no fascism" fairy tale you are peddling. That is, after all, the point of this particular fairy tale, is it not?
But, as the recent collapse of the pro-Israeli propaganda consensus has demonstrated, you might find that your fairy tale convinces fewer and fewer people going forward.
I suggest you keep an eye on your copium stocks - you might need more than you think.
Did you just tacitly admit you support Hamas taking hostages by not acknowledging it? Do you support violence only if it agrees with you?
You just showed you have zero knowledge of the world other than what World Socialist Website tells you to think.
Most critical thinking tankie.
I'm perfectly fine with Hamas taking prisoners - oops, sorry, I forgot we only call them prisoners when states do it.
Sooooo... there was something you were going to flex about, centrist?
Oh look... the enlightened centrist understander predictably doesn't understand the terms they are throwing around.
Yawn.
It's not crime to take foreign nationals that have no stakes in conflict if your side does it. Spoken like a true tankie.
They knew what they were doing when they patronized a white supremacist settler-colonialist state.
I've never bothered to find out... can you actually see the walls of the world's largest concentration camp from the venue they were holding that rave festival at?
Oh look… the enlightened centrist understander predictably still doesn’t understand the terms they are throwing around.
Yawn... again.
Oh lord, whatever you say tankie.
I wouldn't appeal to Jesus if I was you, centrist - being neither hot nor cold famously did not appeal much to the world's most famous socialist.
Oh look… the enlightened centrist understander predictably still doesn’t understand the terms they are throwing around.
Yawn… again.
Well you don't need religion to have moral compass, but tankies certainly have none that much is clear.
Oh look… the enlightened centrist understander predictably still doesn’t understand the terms they are throwing around.
Yawn… again.
