Btw this woman didnt support BLM in the slightest lol.
Daily reminder that conflating Jewishness and Zionism is antisemitic (what the person in the screenshot is doing).
The Jewish people supporting black liberation are most likely anti Zionist
Uh…does she realize Jews who supported BLM would most likely have been anti-zionist since…you know…American cops train in Israel?
These responses, I’m going to get brain cancer…
American black civil rights groups have always ALWAYS stood in 100% solidarity with the Palestinian people. They recognize that they’re part of an identical struggle and demanding that black people rescind that solidarity because you want to do your genocide is the most psychotic unhinged murderous opinion you can have.
I have literally never wanted to be Stalin more than this exact moment.
This is one thing the left will always have that the right will never: solidarity.
Well, the billionaires have class solidarity, and has a pseudo-solidarity with the billionaires he lives vicariously through, but that’s about it.
At the bottom of left solidarity is that all beings stand to benefit from communism. We don’t need scapegoats or bag-holders for our practices to work. Our theoretical solidarity is limitless. Even a Fascist who surrenders and submits to intensive re-education may possibly partake.
Right solidarity works like a Ponzi scheme, requiring victims and suckers. Anxiety about being on the losing end of the equation is built-in, and is the shared interest at the root of their intrinsically precarious solidarity, which requires a steady increase in the supply of externalized human sacrifices to maintain the “peace”.
That is not entirely true. Dr. King, for example, spoke out in support of Israel. Had he not been murdered, I do not believe he would have maintained that support, but the fact remains that in the middle of the century, some movement leaders believed Israel to be a fundamentally progressive project, and were blind to the suffering of Palestinians.
I don’t want to give MLK a pass, but I was thinking about something similar: so many European communists in the 19th century had kinda bad takes on the USA (Marx and Engels included).
Obviously we are all products of our times, but I wonder if how much information we have at our disposal now (thanks to the internet) skews our perceptions of how easy it is to find out information, even things we are receptive to.
It was basically impossible to learn anything about anything back in the 90s. Like you could go to libraries and then you were limited to whatever they had, and if you knew it existed you could use inter-library loan. But, like, the limits of the world were newspapers, popular magazines, bookstores, and libraries. Good luck learning anythign without committing serious time to it.
I guess their support was conditional
