🇵🇸 General Discussion Thread - Juche 112, Week 41 Palestinian Solidarity Edition 🇵🇸

My gf has been absolutely fuming over Palestina and how it gets protrayed in the media. She's even more radical than I am I think lol. Maybe this is her turning point. She's never been this mad at something political.

To all the reddit/fediverse liberals reporting these threads for not being pro-israel bootlickers:

show yourself, coward. you know you can't downvote, and your reports will do nothing, so why not voice your opinion?

I wonder if the soon to-be isnt'raelis in-exile will become the new Rh*desians, soon in 20-30 years in the future there would be songs, documentaries, tributes about how 'peaceful' their Ethnostate was before those ebil Uncivilized arab Terrorist took away their stolen land /s

How can there be civilians at all if mandatory conscription is a thing? Every civilian is a potential soldier in Israel. I feel bad for the people who were just born into the world without making any of these decisions and got hurt but they were, whether they like it or not, going to be used as a tool of terror by the Israeli state.

You can't use your civilians as weapons and then fall back and claim they're not a threat.

If Israel ends the mandatory conscription, and lets the civilians stay civilians, I might have more outrage.

Welp, just blocked another person I thought was cool over on Mastodon because they were boosting concern trolling about "Israeli civilians"

Just a reminder that if you're a western "leftist" and you're suddenly against Palestine now that they're fighting back, you're literally less radical than a lot of libs lol

What are the odds of some thing happening in Ukraine all of a sudden because the spotlight isn't on them anymore

it's like 9/11 times Pearl Harbor for my ethnostate!

What do you think it's been for for the last 75 years?

all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense

All settlers are hostile enemy combatants. If a settler brings his child to a stolen home he is using that child as a human shield.

Here's some pictures of Israeli women. Oh, we've added the word RAPE to our headline, by the way. We also have a witness who says Hamas are a beastly force RAPING every WOMAN and KID in Israel. Please understand that we want to link Hamas and RAPE in your head. Because they may or may not do that according to our existing or maybe non existing source.

leddit users forgetting that this is not reddit anymore lol. Report reason: "enables violence".

Is it just me, or are the anticommunists more vocal than usual lately?

There have been many times in my life I have felt rage at my uselessness and powerlessness to do anything about something major happening. But not quite like this one. I can't stop checking the news and usually I don't care to receive news a day or two late. I wish I could be there.

Literally in my state they have announced to deport and “lawfully pursue” any foreigner that threaten national security by promoting “terrorism”. And I thought only evil russia and chynah are le freeze peaches oppressors.

October is going good so far, there will probably be something in Ukraine since it's getting forgotten

liberals are doing olympic level mental gymnastics to support israel especially rn

Have a nice week :D

china is genius if this is true. big brain move

So I was talking to someone about armadillos the other day, and the most common, the 9 banded armadillo has the strangest defence mechanism, despite being armored and protected from almost every conceivable threat everywhere but its belly, when scarred it jumps 3 feet into the air, exposing its soft underbelly. I am still trying to find out how this has any use, other than to confound the opponent.

Lol the left subs on Reddit have tons of people dropping into threads to argue, and it’s - no exaggeration - the worst attempts at liberals and conservatives appearing like they know what they’re talking about I’ve ever seen.

Wouldn't be surprised if the US uses all this to block Chinese ships coming up the Red Sea, trying to weaken and provoke China before the BRI is quite ready to properly supplement the sea trade with overland trade. Then pincer Chinese sea trade via it's SEA vassals, hoping to deter Egypt and SA from following through with joining BRICS. Subtly and slyly, of course. The US already has a presence in the Med. I don't want to get carried away but this could be the spark for a rather large fire. Especially if there neighbours get involved.

Remember to be saving your receipts (screenshots, pdfs). There's going to be a lot of 'editing' as this goes on. Like we saw with Ukraine.

man I had to take a bit of break from social media over the last few days because seeing the horrid takes about Palestine has my blood pressure rising

Mandatory listening: Hugo Chavez on Israel [diss track]

I had a training at my job today. Someone jumped in front of my train home so the coach had to give me a ride back. Because I work at the Union, politics came up in the car (always exciting with strangers). She told me she used to be a candidate for a neoliberal party here, to which I responded I was an active member of the marxist party. She audibly gasped when I said that and I could hear her contemplating about throwing me out of the car right there lol.

Breaking out my copy of "On Palestine", the notorious Chomsky X Pappe split record so I can factually tell people to fuck off with citations.

Just feel the need to say how much I love the emote, it's very useful and funny, thank you Hexbearians for introducing us to it lmao

Though, oh right, now that lemmyworld has defederated from us, there won't be nearly as many places to use it 😩

I remember back when the ukraine war started that there were videos circulating in my family/friends groups about buildings getting bombed and destroyed, they were saying these buildings were in Ukraine and russia was doing it. A quick google search revealed that these videos were actually from Gaza, they had a clear watermark from a palestinian reporter (they didn't even bother to remove it). I remember calling them out and they didn't care, they were horrified that these buildings were in ukraine but as soon as i mentioned they were actually in palestine, 0 concern.

Now these very same people that were spreading the videos are now spreading the bs about babies getting beheaded, and even pictures of support for Israel with Gaza backgrounds (same as Bieber). 🥴

When I see a boo hoo see last touching text made before they were liquidated hearts and minds puff piece.

Is there any easy way that I’m missing to sub to all of the hexbear communities from my lemmygrad account ? Or is it as much of a pain as it seems to be

Also, the amount of foaming at the mouth in Canadian media over Israel is rapidly becoming ridiculous, I’ve seen them bloodthirsty before but this feels over the top

I think I saw Zelensky in Brussels today

The situation in Palestine is really stressing me out.

Will the Palestinian Soghomon Tehlirian please show up and fire a bullet through Benito Netanyahu’s worthless fucking head already.

Shower throught: you know all those thousands of missles Hamas always uses to attempt to swamp the Iron Dome every time they go off? Why don't they use those missles to TEAR DOWN THE WALL?

India was also the first non Arab country to recognise palestinian statehood

A recent study about jellyfish found that even species that only have about a thousand neurons are capable of conceptualizing past experiences and adapting their behavior. These are animals that barely have a brain, and even they are entirely aware that they have a life and wish to live it comfortably. I like jellyfish, the little baby ones you can see at an aquarium are cute.

A human being has 100 billion neurons. We are like galaxies compared to that jellyfish. We hold emergent mental processes in our heads that can conceive of things beyond our own lives, beyond our own times, beyond time itself. And there are other humans willing to snuff all of that out by just firing a rocket, just to keep from feeling a little discomfort, to avoid some guilt.

So the "Return Youtube Dislikes" extension is currently broken. There is no doubt in my mind that this is related to the Israel-Palestine situation. Someone important told YouTube to make sure the masses can't get an accurate read on how unpopular the propaganda is.

I am looking for some good books about the general history of Isn'treal from its inception to today.

Would be great if it was written from a ML perspective.

Theres apparently a website called https://posthog.com/

thoughts on China Miéville?

I remember seeing somewhere that there was Malcolm X like figure in India along with Gandhi, am I tripping?

FTL kinda really sucks for a while until you can start unlocking ships

Slogan I came up with today (a little bit Baptist) "Bibi Bibi Burn in Hell. It is right to Rebel!"

can i be unbanned from the chapotraphouse community (was banned for drunkposting)
