it’s funny how the Park Chung Hee era has been memoryholed by the west

That’s not Mario, that’s Ms. Rachel

They’ve become way more polished games (by exploiting more and more labor) despite the basic formula being the same. You couldn’t swim until San Andreas and they didn’t even get good at combat mechanics until 4. give a younger person the original Vice City and they’ll say it’s unplayable. It’s like trying to play Morrowind with its tanky controls and random missing mechanics when you’re used to Skyrim.

“conversion therapy” is a euphemism for CW

That’s a fine point. Perhaps I was being too gentle. I’ve seen Nagarjuna on here for years and figured that maybe he ran into some actual antisemitism that pissed him off. A lot of people are dunking on him for how tone-deaf this is in the wake of the ongoing slaughter of Palestinians, and I agree with that for sure, but I didn’t read the entire thread before posting and my first instinct was to ask him to substantiate his claims of anti-semitism by naming names. Because why vaguepost about it? If he is unable to name actual antisemitic posts coming from long time hexbear users (and not just opportunist nazis who registered yesterday), then that would firmly sink the central thesis of his post. So I figured I’d address that first and see what happens.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on this site that are leaning into anti semetic tropes while criticizing Israel. I want to point it out so that folks can recognize it.

You should take the opportunity to give examples of those posts and call them out directly by name and date of registration. Because I can’t imagine anyone leaning into anti-semitic tropes is anything but a reactionary wrecker. I don’t think you would accuse anyone of being anti-semitic in bad faith but it’s important to remember that this is the number one technique of the ultranationalist lobbyists of Israel when it comes to silencing or slandering pro-palestinian voices. And it’s a very good technique on their part because of the very grim and important history of antisemitism, mostly coming from the very nations funding Israeli settler-colonialism in Palestine.

Israel is a colonial outpost of the United States. It was created by Britain and inherited by the US. The US gives Israel ~3,000,000,000 USD in aid every year. As a colony, it should be the goal of every socialist to destroy it, just as we seek the destruction of the US, Northern Ireland, South Korea, Canada, the Phillipine state, etc.

And those same lobbyists would call you anti-semitic for proposing the destruction of the Israeli settler-colony. So it’s important to remember that the word “anti-semitic” is currently undergoing a semantic decomposition, a “Boy Who Cried Wolf” effect, where the neolib and neocon reactionaries of the imperial core are rendering the word utterly meaningless through their deceptive rhetoric. one of the unfortunate side effects of this, is that actual antisemitic nazis are going to see an opportunity to take advantage of the outpouring of support for Palestinians, and use it to worm their way into mainstream political discourse. This is why we should name these posts and quote them directly, rather than vaguely gesturing that they exist, so that these accounts can get take care and removed from our platform which has never in any way supported anti-semitism.

in fact, annexing Florida to create a new state of Israel is what I mean when i refer to “the one state solution”

Give Florida back to the Seminoles and Miccosukee and other remaining First Nations.
