hr-6090 will make criticizing isreal illegal including the protests. it’s already passed the the house and biden has signaled his support for it. i wonder why this isn’t on lemmy already since it’s been a thing for a month so far.
Here’s the thing, you can’t sit idle and let the fascists or their apologists take the space.
Live isn’t easy, its pure competition, all of the time. If you and I don’t have a conversation about this bill, how its in direct opposition to like, everything that the left should stand for, and how it impacts the jewish diaspora, then it just doesn’t happen.
Lemmings like @Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz are scared. They are scared shitless, and it shows every step of the way. Their candidate is floundering. They can’t imagine an alternative. They can’t see a way out of the corner they’ve painted themselves into and they’re lashing out in every direction possible, even if that means ushering fascism in under a blue banner.
You and I can make a difference.
We can show people that there is a third way, a way in which we can have a dialogue, a conversation that shows that a third way is possible.
Whats most important is that we not give up the space. This is the biggest mis-step we could make. What we should not do is cede the ground. We should keep talking. We should point out how this fascist bill, that Democrats overwhelmingly supported, hurts jews across the nation and across the world, and is a direct encroachment of fascism.
You and I can make the difference.
And which candidate is “my” candidate? Plus I thought you don’t have conversations with fascists and since everyone not a socialist is fascist there are no conversations left to have.
