modern asymmetrical warfare.
if my ancestors had suicide bombers instead of literally sticks I might not be mostly white.
The same way that AT THE TIME everyone rooted for the cowboys, not the Indians (Native Americans, but taking a little poetic license); everyone rooted for the glorious British Empire, not any the the “backwards 3rd world countries” they invaded; etc. The key is that public opinion is swayed by those that own the media, and that means rich old white men.
Hur dur and it was the conservatives that wanted to end slavery and stop going to war in the Middle East.
Who needs reality when you can just invent your own?
In this context liberals are just less conservative conservatives.
(And seeing where D is going, I'd say that's true in the usual context also.)
you'd think a person posting on leftymemes would understand that the OP is criticising liberals from the left
For sure. I mean you can go back to the 1700's and the people advocating for treating native populations with kindness and care were all liberal. Perhaps not all people who called themselves liberal though agreed with this.
The conservatives back then viewed them as sub human to be used and abused.
One of my points about viewing these times with a modern lense is they knew even back then that we were mistreating natives. So it is some ways fair to judge them for what they did.
Zionism fundamentally conflicts with Liberal ideas of oppression and hierarchy. Its hard for them to understand that a historically (and to a lesser extent currently) marginalized group (Jewish people) could perpetuate the very oppression and pain they experienced. Israel is also the "civilized" Western country that "supports queer rights and neurodivergant people" (fun fact: Israel has a special military branch where they make vulnerable and often mentally disabled people commit horrific crimes against humanity). In addition it conflicts with the Liberal idea that Judaism is a "progressive religion" leading to cognitive dissidence (can personally not confirm, Judaism is just as regressive as any other religion. I would know, ive been Jewish my entire life).
yeah as compared to the conservatives sitting there so on the right side.
They mean neoliberals...
which conservatives are a type of...
ah yeah. makes a bit more sense.
Conservatives are just liberals, 10 years behind.
It's greed and propaganda.
Just the same way there are (only some??) people now saying 'genocide and inflicting deliberate suffering & destruction/eradication is bad' in relation to Palestine, there were non-racists & non-robbing people at the time of the other pictured "conflicts".
Not even that few of them (bcs humans tend to know what caused suffering & what suffering is), but overshadowed by the spoils & triumphs of "war".But the formula remains the same, designate a group of people as less than human/incompetent savages (or whether the Zionist correct term for Palestinians is now), repeatedly tell people that have nothing to do with them how bad (they need them to think) they are, which pacifies the majority into silent compliancy & complicity.
Step 2: bloody profit.Only once everything is raped & pillaged the propaganda loses it's fuel & the remaining human voices remain, the voices that have been saying the same thing from the start.
Tl;dr: generic genocide in progress "good", historically looking at genocide (by the same fucking people that genocided in the first place) "bad".
The moment anyone says the word "liberals" I know it's going to be fantasy.
The fact user was banned over that comment tells me everything I need to know about this instance.
TBH I’d be in favour of a machine that slaps people in the face with a large trout every time they say or write the word “liberal(s)”. Nothing smart is ever uttered with that word in it.
Don't let documented cases of local Muslims attacking local Jewish communities going as far as the 1800 confuse your hate!
Funny how most people living in the Palestine region aren't natives but arabs and most actual natives live in Israel very normal and Happy lifes.
They are native to the region. The prevailing theory derived from genetic testing best estimates Levantine Arab descendants and before that Canaanite. It also shows their genetics are consistent with the other natives in the region, meaning they came from there. But dont let facts split your hate.
Fuck off fascist.
