Go ahead Trumpmerica, shoot yourself in the foot.

Like people who always jump to say this in such posts: we don’t know the context. And it’s true that we don’t know the immediate context. But we do know the wider context. This forceful suppression of pro-Palestinian speech is consistent with the concerns repeatedly expressed by multiple human rights organizations about the systemic biases of the German state.

To make a slightly distasteful analogy: if this was a video of ICE agents arresting a Latino person at a protest outside a detention center, sure we would not have the context of that person’s actual immigration status. But we do have the wider context of a systematic crackdown on Latinos by ICE.

Do you want to actually defend the honour of German police? Organize and push politically for systemic change. Otherwise, your pearl clutching about “context” will only read as complicity to the systemic issues.

In comes the AI bubble with the folding steel chair.

And at the same time, we’re cutting off international student visas. So genius professor comes here with bags of Impact+ money and nothing to do with it.

The new Trump Doctrine national security strategy document (the same one that attacks Europe for being too woke) is all about how the Western Hemisphere is theirs and does not identify Russia as a US adversary. Corollary: we already have a pimp.

At moments like these we should all take stock, reconnect with our humanity, take a deep breath, hold that for a moment, step back and remember that Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Parkland shooting survivors of being paid actors.

So you mean they will house her only in a more expensive and more dehumanizing way.

Actions have consequences. *Gestures broadly out the window. Let’s stop doing the obviously bad things and clutch our pearls at the obvious and predictable consequences.

Yes, of course 100%. We are together shoulder to shoulder on this. With you 100%.

their progeny

This is where we are having our small difference. The word “their”. I say “our”. I am not going to wash my hands off of the future humans of the MENA region just because the rulers of their direct ancestors are doing shitty things.

Future generations born in the region, i.e., the people who are actually going to suffer, had nothing to do with this shit.

I know moralizing gives a hit of dopamine but let’s just do better.

When this apartheid regime collapses, the future German Chancellor will be issuing a formal apology for shit like this.

There won’t be a rift so long as at the southeastern part of Europe there is still a tension between Turkey and Greece/Cyprus. The Americans are the only ones who care to manage that tension (in the most toxic way possible) while the Europeans can’t be bothered to give a shit. That’s actually the Achilles heel of European unity and the Americans know it.

That’s the funny part, they don’t just look like one, they are one.

I know. Been here long enough to start caring about calling out campist BS.

I can’t hear you over the sound of tank treads crushing grassroots working class organizing.

Oh sorry. So removing all mention of nuance from my previous comment, and adding a bit about tankies, because we can’t have shitposting without mentioning tankies:

What is this tankie campist shit?

Sure add: Greece. Portugal. Italy. France. Spain. Armed antifascist struggles, may 68, general strikes, civil wars, guerilla groups, etc.

Like the reductiveness of “West bad” is so insanely naive that it hurts.

What is this campist shit.

This is as shallow as “girls are dumb”.

WTF are you talking about. It is of course possible to be antisemitic towards Zionists.

And the «semitic» argument is bullshit, it is basically rehashing 19th century white supremacist pseudoscientific racism. The term is currently basically only used to describe language families similar to the term «indo-european».

The word antisemitism has a precise meaning: the «discrimination, prejudice, hostility or violence against Jews as Jews (or Jewish institutions as Jewish).»
