    If you support Israel then you aren’t a leftist. Leftists don’t support imperialist ethnostates.

    I honestly don’t understand how anyone could call themself a leftist and not know about the free palestine movement, it’s one of the issues real leftists are very loud about.

    “If you, a Jew, do not want to be a sniveling lapdog to America, the country that has treated you like vermin throughout history and at best is treating you like useful vermin you, you’re an antisemite.”

    TIL not bending over to white Christians as their loyal kapo makes me an antisemite.

        I’m reminded of Fanon’s observation that the colonial dehumanization of the colonized subject also requires that colonizers dehumanize themselves.

          hooks says more or less the same thing about patriarchy; Before you can create a man who serves the patriarchy you have to beat all the compassion and humanity out of a little boy.

          You have to make monsters, you can’t just go dig them out of cave like in Narnia or whatever.
