You’re so full of shit. Jews have lived in almost every middle eastern country for millennia. There were Jews living in Palestine before the Zionists came. The “sea of other nations wanting to destroy them” don’t hate Israel because it’s a Jewish country. They hate Israel because it’s a fascist settler colonial state that historically has done ethnic cleansing and territorial expansion. You’re just a Zionazi trying to weaponize antisemitism to justify a literal genocide.

Nah, I will go there. Taking settlers who stole your land hostage in order to exchange them for your people being held in Israeli rape jails is acceptable. Sorry not sorry.

Lol conservatives aren’t worth your respect

I think holding hostages for the sake of getting your own people back from a genocidal ethnostate is maybe a little more justifiable then Zionist apologia for genocide. But maybe that’s just me.

Given the thousands of Palestinians taken hostage by Israel both before and after Oct 7, the vast majority of which are non-combatants and are held in nightmarish conditions. How else would Hamas negotiate for their release except via a hostage exchange? Are they supposed to just give up the only bargaining chip they have?

Practice practice practice. And if you wanna get more gear I’d prioritize an IFAK and a plate carrier over a shotgun.

Because of Transmisogyny. Trans women or trans feminine people in general are seen as a threat to patriarchy and the gender binary. There’s a lot of material on transmisogyny theory but to put it in very simple terms: There’s a hierarchy where men, through being cis and portraying traditional masculinity are afforded personhood, and everyone else is dehumanized and considered either a human incubator or a freak. Cis women and to some extent, afab trans people are subjugated because of a potential to give offspring but are placed on a higher level then those who deviate from this binary. Trans women especially but others like queer/effeminate men can also be othered into this category. To reinforce the binary and thus men’s role in the hierarchy, transmisogyny is the means to do this. It’s also why terfs are a thing, some women, especially privileged cis women, despite being oppressed by men still want to maintain power over trans women.

New Hampshire is an interesting one. It’s pretty easy to have your license and birth certificate changed to your desired sex. There are informed consent clinics, Planned Parenthood being a big one. And for guns there’s some of the loosest in the country. You can conceal or open carry without a permit, no magazine limits, almost no state level regulation. There’s sort of a cultural vibe of ‘live, let live’, transphobic attitudes are definitely there but it’s not really any worse than our neighbors, i’d just stay in the southern half of NH personally. Vermont is also similar but it’s a lot more rural and I don’t know enough about their laws.

The meme is well designed, love the chaos star especially and love to see more balaclava girlies. And I can sympathize as I’ve certainly encountered very bizarre takes by terminally online internet leftists in favor of weird shit like being in favor of the Ukraine invasion or thinking the DPRK is some secret paradise.

However, by and large I’ve gotten to the point where anytime I hear the term ‘tankie’ thrown around it feels thought terminating. I’ve been called a tankie for being opposed to the US invading North Korea, or for supporting indigenous land return. But here’s a bigger problem I’ve encountered: I volunteer every week at a local free store run by anarchists and I also have done organizing work with local ML parties. Anytime the local MLs want to get involved in the free store, or collaborating on any mutual aid projects the Anarchists have going on its cold shoulders all around “Oh no, those people are Tankies. We can’t trust them.” It’s gotten to the point where everything is separate and there’s no talking to each other. One time a Communist party member mentioned they knew someone who could do free glasses repair and thought it would be good for them to come to the free store, and when I brought it up folks just didn’t wanna hear it or criticized “the company I keep” as if that would taint them. It’s just disheartening because all these MLs locally are almost all LGBTQ, poor/working class, disabled, etc. Just like the Anarchists and want a lot of the same things. I really think anti-communist propaganda has created such an unnecessary divide in our organizing. I’m not asking folks to all just get along and agree, I want different orgs to have their autonomy and own ways of thought. I would just want people to focus their ire on people who ACTUALLY make life shit for us, especially here in the west, which is our own capitalist state and the capitalist class.

Thank you for indulging me by reading my long silly comment.

Forgive me lord for I must simp 🙏

You just stated that the anti-homeless architecture is bad for housed people too. So when it comes to anti-homeless architecture, it’s not oversimplified to just get rid of it. It helps no one and just causes suffering.
