Sorry if this was already shared, I just joined recently. But holy shit. See Video Here
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
I understand why they don’t do it but I really want to see people start responding to that shit with “Yes, I support Hamas in their efforts to protect Gaza from Israel. Hamas has a right to defend itself.”
Honestly, I think condemning Hamas in these situations is a mistake. It starts you on the back foot, accepting their framing of the situation. No, I do not condemn Hamas, or their actions on October 7th, for the same reason I would not condemn the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
You are not wrong and I agree 100%. It doesn't seem to change things with regards to the fascists anyway.
Exactly. No matter how many times you say, “No, I don’t support Hamas” they hear yes anyway, they don’t accept no as an answer, so condemning Hamas is just giving the fash more ammo.
