    Are you actually on the side of Palestinians? You seem more like a bog standard online leftist that has done the bare minimum of recognizing a genocide for what it is and has taken that to mean they can just say whatever edgy nonsense pops into their head and pretend that’s anticolonialism. “Oh, you can’t criticize me for saying shit that Zionists pretend are the actual stakes of the conflict because I have right opinions.”

    You are not special here. You are not more outraged than anyone else. You are valuing the clout of appearing more “extreme” to a handful of internet leftists over the damage of giving Zionists screenshots of Palestine supporters actually wanting to commit genocide. If you’re worried about what side people are on, first worry whether you’re even helping the one you pretend to care about.

      Clout? I’m anonymous.

      Posting isn’t politics. We can’t help anyone here. If I was worth anything I wouldn’t be wasting my time arguing on an underwater basket weaving forum, I’d be doing something that actually matters. We’re complicit. If I were killed for it, I’d understand.
