I literally cannot get it across to local Leftists (its thr punk scene. So its the type of anarchists we are allowed to make fun of and not the other kind ive heard exists somewhere, I know there are cool ones cause of here, but my irl experience had been...mixed at best) that Ukraine and Palestine are not remotely similar things and supporting Palestine and not Ukraine isnt at all hypocritical and in fact is a very very consistent position. Thr amount og times ive been asked if I support Palestine as if theyre the same thing is over 5. It's deeply disturbing.

You should just avoid taking seriously the politics of these punk scene friends of yours. They're clearly just doing it for aesthetic. They're not serious about their ideology, so you need not worry about them in a serious sense.

Someone who studies even cursory Marxism, Anarchism, or any even remotely-anticapitalist position simply doesn't have issues conflating Palestine and Ukraine.
