And not just any people, but people as terrible as Mamdani's wife... not that the rampant horniness would be fine if it was over someone significantly more likeable, though.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

wait i know nothing about her why is she so terrible?

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)

This video explains it well.

I timestamped it so you can get the part where he talks about his wife, but the whole thing is a worthwhile watch.

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

Good video. It's maddening to see people in various socialist spaces (even here) fall for this shit so easily when all the signs are there.

The Syria activism and Dubai wedding, not justifiable. Though I honestly do leave space for someone to have been a clueless liberal in their past. I think that most people on this site have themselves grown up in relatively privileged circumstances, if only in consequence of living in the insulated Western world.

I could forgive her if she publicly acknowledged her former liberalism, the insufficiency of her activism in the wake of what happened in Syria.

However. The Mamdanis being trust fund kids doesn’t per se disqualify them, if they genuinely devote themselves to the cause of the working class. Class collaboration has to be accepted when it benefits the working class. It’s good to be skeptical about their background though, and of course factor it together with the totality their present-day views and actions.

KKK member or a communist revolutionary, Don't be a fucking a creep towards them.

Too late, that neckussy pic gave me an unslakable thirst

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't think this is a very appropriate thing to joke about, honestly. This comrade clearly isn't very comfortable with this content. No need to try to provoke.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Let's be clear, the person who I responded to was being provocative; there were and still are zero "thirst posts" in this thread. The original image is not a "thirst post." There was moderation of a misogynistic comment in the thread, so the remaining content is clearly appropriate enough to stand. That comment is pure tone policing on a subject that they weren't forced to engage with over behavior that was totally imagined.

My sarcastic comment was meant to be a much kinder way of conveying at least part of that. Maybe I should have been direct from the start.

Or it hasn't been tested? I.e. no mod has looked at it. Just because something remains up doesn't mean it is OK.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Do you honestly think that mods closed their eyes, removed a single comment, and then left without looking at anything else? If we're dealing in wild and improbable hypotheticals we can really cover some distance here.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Don't make me pick, both are bad as hell.

I had a conversation with someone in the news mega yesterday who insisted she's ISIS

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity I went and looked and the person was saying there is no meaningful difference when an anti-assad activist works for over a decade to destabilize Syria's government, since Syria ends up being controlled by ISIS that person has effectively supported ISIS. Especially since she hasn't been doing any activism against the ISIS leadership of Syria who are massacring minorities, it really shows that her work is done now they ISIS is in charge and she is okay with that.

Personally I had no idea about her ties to that and I'm glad that person exposed it

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I see the logic in saying her actions helped ISIS in the long run, and said actions should be condemned, but to say she is ISIS is hyperbolic, using the same logic you could say that the Kurds and people like ypg-brace are ISIS because despite directly fighting them, because they were also against Assad and also contributed to the downfall of his government

its the same thought pattern that leads to any critic of NATO and the Ukrainian far-right being labelled Ruzzian Putin-loving Vatnik bots

Saying 'the democratic 'socialist' Muslim mayor of New York's wife is ISIS' in this climate is a ridiculous position for a leftist to take, imo specificity and accurate descriptors are important

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If you spent a decade trying to "free Syria" from Assad and then stopped trying to "free Syria," once ISIS takes over, you have certainly chosen a side

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Calling one of the highest profile Muslim women in the US 'ISIS' is also certainly a choice

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Call her a gusano, a stooge, a US asset for regime change, a supporter of violence and massacres against Syrian people, but don't call her ISIS, she only actively worked to destabilize the government ISIS overthrew but she didn't actively join ISIS

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

actively worked to destabilize the government ISIS overthrew but she didn't actively join ISIS

Also stopped trying to destabilize the government once ISIS controlled it. Hard to see how this isn't supporting ISIS. It's more or less everything you can do as an American short of actually joining ISIS.

I agree that she's not literally ISIS, but this is a communist forum and not reddit, no one is calling her ISIS for islamophobic reasons.

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's been exactly my point

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

Together they have backed US regime change operations against Syria, Cuba and Venezuela, they are well on their way to being the best representative of US leftists anyone could have hoped for. All they need to do is condemn the Uighur genocide and call for the authoritarian DPRK government to be overthrown. US leftists certainly can't allow their representation of socialism to be tarnished by pointing out their support for US regime change abroad

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

when I first clocked the volume of weird posts about her, that was when I truly believed for the first time he had that election in the bag.
