With all that said:

People calling themselves my opps are treated as such.

People calling themselves my allies should act as such.

None of that moral indulgences shit. I don't care who you are.

I will try to focus on things I enjoy, but I am also outspoken and angry. Expect me to get bitey.

against Oslo in Israel where he marched beneath a coffin with the name of then-Prime Minister Yizhak Rabin on it - in the 1990s.

Netanyahu campaigned on the extermination of all Palestinians when he ran for prime minister - in the 2000s.

History didn't start on 10/7/2023.

Benjamin Netanyahu called for the extermination of all Palestinians on American television, under the name "Ben Netay" - in the 1970s.

That backlog is also why a user might just suddenly be banned for a post they made last year. That that post was found and used as justification for a ban right after the person questioned a staff member or made a criticism is purely coincidental, of course.

You don't understand dude, they have a huge backlog of posts to review, going back months. So if you post a joke to the CEO you get permabanned in hours, because of that huge backlog.

That's the "trust" in trust and safety. It's how he's built so much credibility with the user base here.

Beyond advocating, maybe get off your asses and show us how it's done. Stop lecturing people in motion about how to avoid outcomes that they unleash on us NO MATTER WHAT WE DO.

Advocate for the tactics you believe are powerful and effective—we probably agree about those. But stop preemptively scapegoating the same people that Trump scapegoats for his fascist violence. Only this administration is to blame for its violence. It was already planned.

Are you starting to get it? He was always going to hit us. You will not change the math by insisting that people assume some magical form of perfect victimhood that somehow reels in a monster. That's not real. And I am so sick of hearing it.

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Much love to my Palestinian family. We are so sorry. We see y'all. We love y'all. We stand with y'all. And please stay strong. Working class people stand with y'all, and we proclaim everywhere that Palestine will be free. Definitely! 🇵🇸♥️🍉🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️

In conclusion, israel's behaviour is brazen and beyond desperate. They've broken every international law, yet, no consequences!

But I have faith that Palestine will be free, and that in the end, the billion-dollar israeli and western zionist propaganda will fall completey. People aren't blind.

Two years of cultural and economic boycotts that have left genocidal israel in the doldrums and everyone hating them, while they eternally cry the victim. There's a common denominator, and it's the zionist terrorists who are bombing Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Qatar and Iran.

Two years of israel screeching about "KHamas" and "the hostages", while literally putting the hostages in danger by razing Gaza to the ground, killing at least 28 of those hostages. Hamas doesn't even know where some of the hostages are right now, because many are buried under the rubble.

Two years of protests, solidarity, humanity, and everyday working class people stepping up, while elected representatives and capitalist and white supremacist pieces of shit who call themselves "leaders of the free world" refuse to do anything to stop this disgusting livestreamed genocide!

Two years of relentless israeli and western lies, spread via western corporate news media; endless gaslighting and propaganda that isn't working anymore. israel having to pay influencers $7k per post, how pathetic is that? Palestinians get to post their messages and they don't need to lie!

It's October 7 today.

It's been two years of israeli genocide in Palestine; violence, bombs and images of starving Palestinians, children being ripped limb from limb, all backed and supported by western liberal democracies, who preach "democracy" and "international law" every single day.
