What could possibly go wrong

But on that, Sanders has been a VERY outspoken critic of the Isreali government’s genocide in Gaza and the absurd financial support the US provides for it.

He might criticize the financial support because he thinks “Israel” has “gone too far” but he still supports “Israel’s right to defend itself”. Which is the fundamental issue that created this genocidal dynamic in the first place.

If you want a slimy and corrupt US politician to rage about, there’s no shortage to pick from, so it’s honestly weird that you’re throwing a fit over the one who is actually trying to help people.

That is very debatable, but it will suffice to say that he sucks just like the rest of them & it’s fine & good to criticize him. I will never understand people who go out of their way to defend politicians lol. Grow up

Yes. They used multiple arguments that were straight up genocide denial (human shields, Hamas actually blew up those hospitals, etc)

I am personally very sad that the main line of argument that Democrats have taken against criminalizing trans women is “this will hurt cis women”, because who the fuck cares about trans women right??

I didn’t expect much & was still disappointed

The first half of that video is honestly not bad. If he cut it off there it would have been fine & pretty much true.

In my experience Firefox gives you more privacy than the mainstream browsers (chrome, edge, safari) & is a good way to move away from them, but it’s a non-profit in Silicon Valley so that comes with limitations. The new privacy policy is certainly concerning & I’m personally to the point where I’m ready to try something else.

College literally made me realize that just because one person belongs to a marginalized group doesn’t mean that they cant been huge assholes and liberals in other ways against other marginalized groups.

Yeah, this was what I learned making the switch from Twitter to open source social media a few years back. Twitter was becoming worse & worse specifically with harassment campaigns by white queers against Black queers so I ended up trying to find a better space that was more open to talking about racism. I thought I was fine if I found a specifically LGBTQ server but most of them have huge racism problems. The only corner I found is mostly Black & they are constantly being accused of shit, being called unreasonable or aggressive, etc by white queers. I also noticed they have a lot of ableism in those spaces. I usually see them parroting State Dept talking points too.

Local Discord banned me & called me a Nazi for defending Hamas lol. It’s everywhere.

Fedi is very liberal. Support for Ukraine is a foregone conclusion generally, & I also found out the server I was on (an LGBTQ server) was moderated by a zionist when I started talking about the genocide.

I did find a corner where disability justice, imperialism, & trans liberation were the baseline, but it took a while

Jackson Hinkle is that u

There was a similar thing that happened that illustrates the same point.

Media has been silent about bird flu, many people telling me I’m overreacting as the supply chain has been getting slowly infected over the last 1-1.5 years. Now that Trump’s in office, Rachel Maddow covers it in a 10-minute long monologue & everyone’s like “have you heard about the bird flu?”

It’s like nothing exists until Trump does it
