They are ignoring the policy interests of their voters and instead relying on scare tactics to secure votes.

The politicians have no interest to fight for or run on the best interest of the voters, only the best interest of their corporate donors.

Voters are caught in a political system where no party is interested in fighting for the working class, for everyday americans. As the party that is supposed to be the opposition to the fascist party continues to ignore the material harms people are experiencing, and instead moves to their policies to the right, those voters become angry and resentful. The fascist party takes advantage of that by acknowledging those material harms people face, yet utilize scapegoating to capitalize on gaining those votes while furthering their fascist policies.

Our politicians are ignoring the voters, at the expense of elections

Their corporate donors are more important to them than their actual constituents they are supposed to represent

Yeah looks like it

Real pigs are capable of empathy, unlike these fascist bastards

True, illegally kidnapped in international waters, a flagarent violation of international law

I hope this and all the next attempts to break the starvation blockade put enough pressure on governments to act

I find it concerning when anyone spends that much time online, I already feel like I do lol

Being terminally online is terrible for mental health, and I think being devoid of actual people IRL makes ppl more reactionary

But in condemning violence it would be an act of irresponsibility not to be as strong in condemning the conditions in our society that cause people to feel so angry that they have no alternative but to engage in riots. What we must see is that a riot is the language of the unheard.

What is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last 10 or 12 years. It's failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. It has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity.

I used to defend JordanLund when people called him a Zionist

After his recent actions banning anti-zionist voices on WorldNews, banning Independent media that reports on the genocide, and banning pro-palestinian emancipatory slogans, it's overwhelmingly obvious he is at the very least a Zionist Sympathizer

He's also terribly reactionary on many social issues

Zionists are committing genocide. You are falling for antisemitic conspiracy theories if you are conflating Zionism and Judaism.

From a previous comment of mine:

Zionism goes against the actual teachings of Judaism, it's very revisionist. Jewish opposition to Israel is as old as Zionism itself. Hasidic Jewish people, while small in number, are still the largest Anti-zionist group in Israel. Jewish people have been at the forefront of Anti-zionist activism for a long time, including Jewish Voice for Peace. Palestinians too of course.

Zionism uses Judaism as a shield, deflecting criticism against it's fascist actions as anti-semitic, which in-turn raises the amount of genuine anti-semitism experienced by Jewish people worldwide, due to that false conflation of Judaism and Zionism. That's why it's critical to detangle that false conflation.

Zionism comes from the same roots of other-izing Jewish people as seen in white supremacy, that's exactly why it's been supported by white supremacist since the beginning to present day. For white supremacists, Jewish people are inherently different and need to go back to 'where they came from' in the middle east. Christian Zionists, who far outnumber Jewish Zionists, want to trigger the end-times which will kill every 'nonbeliever' with the holy war.

Adi Callai, in his video Anti-Semitism, Weaponized, does a phenomenal analysis the history of antisemitism and how Zionism fits into that picture. He has another on the Gaza Ghetto Uprising and on Franz Fanon which are also just as relevant to the current situation in Palestine as well.

What a bunch of fascist cowards

I hope to see more of these kinds of attempts to break the genocidal blockade

These are Israeli Settlers carrying out their fascist Zionism ideology

They never have and never will represent Jewish people nor Judaism

Same thing happened to me, not that I really care about having less AI generated art on my feed

Apartheid is not peace

Would you be less supportive of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising if they did kill more civilians in Nazi Germany?

In the Shadow of the Holocaust by Masha Gessen, the situation in Gaza is compared to the Warsaw Ghettos. The comparison was also made by a Palestinian poet who was later killed by an Israeli airstrike. Adi Callai has also written on the parallels in his article The Gaza Ghetto Uprising and expanded upon in his corresponding video

From my experience Vogons are quite repulsive, especially when poetry is involved

You had to dig up an article from 2014, one where he's literally apologizing, to pull out that antisemitism claim?

Yeah, rappers can be really stupid, doesn't change the current situation that he's recognized an ongoing genocide and using his prominence as a popular artists to bring attention to the issue, such as promoting the flotilla with aid on it's way to hundreds of thousands of starving children

From this old forum it looks like it has some built in ad block, unsure about if these trackers are included in that list
