Oh, and apparently people only support Palestine because “They’re losing.” And “It doesn’t matter whose wrong or right they’re both just fighting for survival. Who cares about supporting either of them.”
Other highlight “Palestine has homophobia built into it’s law. Like Russia.” Said by a cis person too lmao
Hahahaha fuck me I wish I had the energy and skill to school people like this but I just can’t be bothered hahaha I’m so tired.
“Both sides bad” types are even more insufferable than out Zionists sometimes.
strange how their feigned concern for womans rights always disappears when talking about pro-american regimes like saudi arabia, or you know the zionist geniciders. ask them to say that again while looking in the eyes of the countless women and girls raped, murdered or otherwise brutalized by zionazi soldiers! the illegal entity is the biggest threat to womens rights in the region simply by being the biggest threat to human life in the levant in general.
Honestly, for those kinds of people there are two main phrases to use - “what the fuck are you talking about/are you fucking stupid” and “what the fuck is wrong with you”. You’re not talking to informed individuals who have thought deeply on the issue, you’re talking to idiots who haven’t paid any attention then started making stuff up to justify their ignorance once it moved back to the centre of the news cycle. They aren’t going to start paying attention just because you explained what’s happening to them, so make them feel stupid, and bad for being stupid.
How long would you survive as president if the first thing you did was to remove “In god we trust” and the cartoon evil pledge of allegiance.
meanwhile in the USA the libs say if the dems, who are currently doing genocide, lose the election there will be a genocide against queer people
how can a country that prides itself on being progressive and tolerant, one that lectures other countries for not being accepting if its only 1 election away from removing all the rights of non cis hetero citizens?
I like to call this campfire stories propaganda, a choose your own adventure style of lying, it’s the same for the DPRK but 20th and not in the desert.
The best part about this is that you’ll find out these guys are the same that are the most transphobic and homophobic of everyone, for example Isaac Butterfield, Australian “comedian” one day he’ll make a video about how evil trans women are for having genitalia he doesn’t like, the other day he’ll make a video about how evil Hamas is for beheading trans people (they never did that).
The middle east queer rights and feminism discussion I find is the biggest sign of cognitive dissonance for westerners, even when a country like Iran outright makes being trans legal (although transmedicalist unfortunately) they still don’t believe it or make up another lie like how it’s for making gay people straight even though this decredits the work of Iranian trans right activists.
Keep in mind this isn’t exclusive to liberals, but also present in a lot of leftists who don’t know shit but act like they know anything.
