SInce when do cops read

They shouldn’t even be allowed to travel to Europe for their genocide support.

This is simply stupid. Harris didn’t lose because of a few memes on her Gaza stance or third party. She lost because she’s a relic of the same neoliberal system that has gotten us where we are. Not so say that Trump isn’t. He is a neoliberal as well, and a fascist at that too. It’s just that trumpists are more willing to go to the polls because of the cult-like party they’re in. Democrats need to be pushed out the door with ideas other than ideas stolen from the right. Kamala Harris fumbled her entire campaign and it was obvious from the get go. I honestly do not understand how people thought she’ll win. Hell, she even embraced the fucking Cheneys.

The wonderful western democracies at work. The UK is following Germany’s steps into madness.

Then maybe these journalists aren’t doing their jobs properly. They should mention the reason behind it, be it nationalism or risk of collapse. They haven’t mentioned either, which means they purposefully want to leave the reason up for debate. Bad journalism

I’m from an Eastern European country that’s in the EU. LGBTQ people are still getting getting killed, although not by the government’s direct laws, but by the authorities’ unwillingness to take us seriously. I’m active in multiple queer organizations back home (I currently live abroad) and there are countless cases of police officers beating up gay and trans people (not at protests but in isolation, on the streets) with no subsequent investigations. Trans people are constantly brutalized and it is never taken seriously by anyone. It doesn’t even make the news. The government is spewing anti LGBT rhetoric because of it’s anti western stances, and that’s because the western neoliberal movement has coopted our movement and everyone else sees us as an extension of its politics/imperialism. There are also some very gruesome videos out of Ukraine with gay people being tied to trees and whipped with barbed wire. There are also cases of murders that have gone unsolved for years now. The only queer people you see there are the ones privileged enough to have better off families that can fend them from such acts of violence, and even that doesn’t always work. Many in our communities end up committing suicide because of this. And yes, there are a ton of LGBTQ murders even in Asia up to this day. Most of our community is stripped off any opportunity, they end up working as prostitutes and get brutalized by other civilians and authorities alike.

That’s why we, the queer community should stop letting western neoliberals coopt our movements. Our movements are being associated with western imperialism all across the world. Anti-western reactionary governments are using us as a scapegoat in turn. I’m from Eastern Europe and the LGBTQ movement is always associated with “western values”, and every time the west does something nasty, we are the first ones to take the blame for it.

The Israeli security agency shinbet has been notorious in the gay community in Palestine for making fake Grindr accounts and infiltrating underground queer spaces so that they can blackmail queer Palestinians and turn them into moles and informants. Many of them end up committing suicide because they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. There really is no pride in genocide.

And when will someone finally step in to stop the genocide

Hey, look, it’s been exactly what we’ve been saying it is from the beginning. It’s a landgrab. The liberals will be flocking to claim that this is definitely not just like Putin’s landgrabs in eastern Ukraine, and that it is fundamentally different, either because Israel thinks that a thousand years old book promised them half of the Arabian peninsula, or some other nonsense about Hamas tunnels.

Why not “Israel killed journalists covering the war in Lebanon as they slept”? Israeli airstrike make it sounds relatively passive as if it was an accident. With over 170 if these “accidents” we know that the IDF is either very, very incompetent or they’re not accidents at all

Every single genocide is unique. Not just the holocaust. Including the one committed in Palestine at the hands of the zionists nowadays.

Look, I’m not the one talking about the entire world holding my own personal opinion here.

All the IDF reservists must be valid military targets then. And since almost everyone in Israel is required to serve in the IDF, including women, one could argue that there are barely any civilians in Israel nowadays. Imagine all the combatants working in hospitals, schools, universities, and so on. in Israel. Guess one can start bombing those facilities now without fearing they’ll ever harm civilians, right?

Like the other 170 journalists they’ve killed so far for casting light on the war crimes they’ve been committing. Being labelled a terrorist by Israel must be one of the highest titles one could earn in journalism nowadays.

You seem to talk for the entire world. I wonder who put you in charge.

Yeah, that’s fair. Not like that rumor held any kind of water in the first place. It was started by the US government just because they needed to manufacture consent for an invasion so that they can invade their old buddy Saddam Hussein that stopped listening to them. Hell, they event tricked him into invading Kuwait, telling him behind closed doors that they’ll have his back at the UN, then didn’t keep on their promise hoping that the invasion would be the downfall of Iraq (which is wasn’t and that was the reason for them to maliciously start the false rumor that Saddam was trying to build weapons of mass destruction). I recommend listening to Blowback season 1. It’s a really well documented podcast by top tier journalists.

Based on that, why would countries do literally anything at this point? A major superpower can make up any kind of rumor (even maliciously just to use as pretext) to achieve its goals. See Russia with the Nazis in Ukraine.

Oh yeah, the singularity of the Holocaust. The same kind of thinking that empowers Germany to aide countries in committing all kinds of atrocities all around the world just because those will never be THE Holocaust, so it’s okay.

Pretty much. International law means nothing in the greater context as long as that benefits the superpowers.

I honestly don’t understand why not every country isn’t producing nuclear weapons at this point. Diplomacy has clearly been a complete farce for decades now. Countries like Israel can develop nuclear weapons without any repercussions, because the “civilized west”, while seemingly being so obsessed with international law when it comes to countries like Iran and North Korea, surprisingly tends to forget about whatever Israel is doing, and thus is only selectively applying said international law. In extension, international law is a farce, and is only of importance when it suits one of the superpowers sitting in the imperial core.
