I'm getting really tired of libs who claim to be antifa just because they served in the US military. yeah, no. you're not antifa. antifa is out fighting neo-nazis, fascists, cops, & ICE right now. you're sitting around bragging about being a vietnam vet who fought communism.

no fucking way. I also found some funny examples. too many libs believe that swearing an oath to the US constitution, or fighting in the Vietnam War, the Korean War, &/or the Cold War for the US, counts towards antifa membership or whatever. military service doesn't mean automatic antifa status. lol

I replied w/ "you're no hero. you are not antifa, either" (& a link to the wiki article for the My Lai Massacre), got a response back where he was like "I never claimed to be a hero. I don't support sick disgusting shit". he blocked me immediately after I responded with this

Absolutely fucking wild that liberals are saying stuff like, "I hope she sues the pants off them," trusting the same legal system that's either too powerless or unwilling to stop this in the first place. ICE will laugh at your lawsuit, invoke qualified immunity, and call it a day.

User 1
her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

User
also I get it the Palestinian side has seen the disproportionate majority of the bloodshed and suffering at this point but if you didn't shed the same tears for innocent Israeli civilians I think you at best have an agenda and at worst are an unrepentant antisemite but that's a whole can o worms

"I'm like pretty pro Palestine for a lefty Zionist lib..."

you cannot be a "lefty" or a leftist and a lib simultaneously.

you cannot be pro-Palestine while also being a Zionist.

you're an oxymoron (and you're just a Zionist)
