Two things can be bad at once. Shocking, I know. But you keep simping for the murder and persecution of LGBT folk to show your support for anyone who opposes the evil West. :)
I wasn't originally going to respond to this, but I think it's worth articulating:
Nobody is defending any of these rebel groups, but they are making a point that certain systems of oppression have a tendency to produce them.
This meme is specifically calling out people who use the existence of militant rebel groups as a justification of violent suppression (in this case, suppression that is currently amounting to genocide).
The reason why this is important (i hope it goes without saying) is because Israel and US allies are producing the conditions that result in these conflicts to begin with, and then pointing to them as a post-hoc justification of further violent suppression. I upvoted your other meme regarding hamas being funded by Israeli interests for exactly that reason: i'm pointing to the same problem here and I'm glad we agree in that regard. But it's a cycle that's also perpetuated by rhetoric that intentionally blurs the lines of cause and effect (as I think your other meme regarding the houthis did)
Hope that addresses your concern.

Yeah, no, I can literally find examples of people on here defending the Houthis very easily. If you want to dispute that, I can find you plenty of examples.

By trying to play atrocity equivalence games? "Yeah, I know we persecute LGBT folk, but you bombed a refugee camp, which is worse :)"
Sorry my man. We’re done here.
Which one do my tax dollars arm, and which one do my tax dollars bomb?
I know the tin foil brigade like to use the phrase "main stream media" so forgive me..
But it's be easy to lose sight of the fact that there's always tragedy happening in the world, it's always bad, it's always alongside other tragedy and the only way things get better is the ongoing fight against them.
The shock portrayed by the main stream media would suggest this stuff is unusual, like life is generally fine but punctuated by these horrible times and events, and that only one of them at a time matters.
Well put
