  • Telling me that I’m not a Socialist because I’m not a registered member of a Socialist organization doesn’t encourage me to join any organization. It encourages me to dump you and find an actual mutual ally.

    “Saying I’m only sympathetic to abolition if I’m not doing abolitionist work doesn’t make me want to do abolitionist work”

    Okay what will then, do you want a headpat or a handjob or what?

    The dumped metaphor is great because in this metaphor you weren’t dating to begin with. You were just admiring.

    But seriously if someone questioning your commitment when you aren’t committed makes you react with fleeing somewhere else that is on you.

    Stop saying stupid exclusionary things about your left-wing allies if you want to actually have a movement capable of change.

    If you’re not in the movement you are not a socialist. The movement is a real, organized thing, not just vibes.












  • And all these people think Israel are the good guys? I wonder what their opinions about apartheid South Africa were at the time.

    Israel was explicitly founded as a settler-colonial project, you can look up quotes from famous founding zionists.

    “You are being invited to help make history … it doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen, but Jews … How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial.”
