Hang on hang on hang on. Is this cartoonist saying that lgbt people ought to want extermination of people who don't support us (just taking at face their stance that there are no lgbt supporters in Palestine)?

Isn't this like... what they're terrified of?

Conservatives neither understand solidarity nor critical support, thus they think we're hypocrites for it. The only time queer people get any semblance of support from right wingers is when they want to bludgeon another group with it.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

Obviously you should only want good things for somebody if you personally would immediately materially gain from it. I think that's fairly obvious, when I was taking my niece to the park yesterday another kid wanted the swing so I was like "little one, I think that kid wants a go. You should charge a small fee to vacate the swing".

They're saying that Palestinians are dirty Muslims who hate queer people so it's okay to genocide them.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Right yeah but they're saying queer people should want that because (in the cartoonists mind) Palestinian people would want us dead.

But the sort of people who are the audience of this want us dead too, so is the cartoonist saying we should be trying to kill them? That just seems intense.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This meme gives me shitlib vibes, which is slightly different than conservative. Shitlibs will at least pretend they won't throw us under the bus the second Republicans offer them treats.

I checked and I think I'd have to be from the usa to understand whatever the fuck this is.

I think far right?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

There's.... A lot of crossover...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That guy also thinks antisemitism is a plot by the elders of Zion, i wouldn't call that shitlib-fash crossover.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

it's lib shit, the 'swamps are good and we're sorry for being mean to them' paragraph is a dead giveaway

the american fascist will basically never worry about the delicacy or appropriateness of their language and they definitely won't worry about hurting the feelings of an ecosystem

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Nah, you look at the memes page, and there's 2 different ones saying hate speech is free speech, one attacking democracy, and one attacking "woke progressives".

Also holy shit a cartoon saying that DEI is reverse segregation, and another saying DEI is responsible for Boeing

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Its better to be dead than a colonizer or a descendant of one.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

They know they don't have to be consistent

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

On its face this person cannot conceptualize simply being against genocide. It should be simple enough to be like "Look, these people aren't It*lians, we can share the Earth with them."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's both. They believe we ought to want the extermination of people who don’t support us and they also believe we're stupid because we clearly don't want the extermination of people who don't support us. As far as they're concerned we are their natural enemies and too stupid to realize it, and so they're mocking us for not killing them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Classic concern trolling

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I suppose there's a consistent logic to it in the mind of one of those "just saying the hard truths, being realistic" cookers.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

I know it's rhetorical but yeah. They (not so) secretly want to kill LGBTQ, or at least view them as inferior. It's just another indicator of weakness, to them, that LGBTQ protestors and allies don't abuse their position in the West to demand reigning death on people living in places the West has previously done nothing but reign death upon or destabilize, while fostering the least palatable organized resistance they could find. Still couldn't manage to find anyone worse than themselves though.

Damn! We need to stop the Jews from... checks notes stopping the Jews?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

Despite all the labels I can't decipher this comic at all. Holy shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Antisemitism is quickly becoming a zionist conspiracy, the damage being done by the west and zionists rabidly screaming that anything other than laying down and swallowing entire boots in one go is antisemitic

The consequences of this will resonate for decades to come

[–] [email protected] 59 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

You can hear the artist hissing as he draws "Fucking leftist hippie manbun hipsters complaining about our genocide rrrrrgh!"

[–] [email protected] 51 points 4 months ago

Palestinians respectfully bury their LGBTQ dead after they’ve been murdered by Israel?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 4 months ago

I literally go to a local business in town near me where the owners/whole staff is a Palestinian, Christian family. They know I'm trans, and the old man says to me "God loves all his children" and let's me know I'm always welcome.

Bigots get the wall.

This kind of thing is always rich coming from reactionaries like Branco. Oh, now you suddenly care about queer people?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

It's just your usual smug fascist gotcha. Everytime I read something like this I imagine them with their piggy faces doing the smuglord look smuglord

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago

This meme isn't accurate.

It should be a mass grave in the second image.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago

there would be some progression on social issues if they managed to live in peace for more than 5 seconds edgeworth-shrug

the fuck is the westerners excuse?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

Yeah its big brain hours

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

this is so fucking bankrupt, all liberals have left is craven appeals to the most selfish and vain impulses. a complete surrender of the barest of humanist bases for the constitution of the liberal states

if i wanted to confound a student in 200 years i would pair this next to Cesare Beccaria

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Just a reminder: While libs are convincing people to give the finger to Gazans, back in 2014 Palestinians were giving advice to help contend with police brutality during the Ferguson protests.

Yes, I want social progress in x country. No, I don't want to let them develop and be free from national oppression. Where do I think ideas come from? Well, clearly the colonized are naturally backward and it's the burden of the white man to bring them to civilization.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

I give this cartoon three Pinocchios, as these graves remain un-bulldozed kubrick-stare

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

How compelling, branco

how-compelling

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

So like, on this logic were putting all transphobes in camps right? If its okay to just murder people like that are we agreeing that they go to camps?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Its just missing the Israeli Occupation soldiers making TikToks of them teabagging the tombstones.

Fascists trying to pit marginalized groups against each other. Classic move, but kind of played out at this point.

When people have compassion and empathy for oppressed people's suffering, the right thing to do is help them survive and end the suffering, full stop. There may be an added benefit later on where individuals become more compassionate themselves as a result, but that is not the primary goal - just a really nice bonus we get sometimes.

This artist still thinks he can help divide & conquer people with shit like this, but it's weak af in today's environment. Our younger generations see right through it.

Wait until they find out what major political party supports Israel
