Nazis have perverted the Swastika- once a religious symbol of peace, now it represents violence, injustice, and the worst of humanity.
Zionists have perverted the Star of David- once a religious symbol of peace, now it represents violence, injustice, and the worst of humanity.
Combining the two is perversely beautiful.
Kinda weird how this keeps happening with Hindu-Buddhist imagery, especially given the whole rebirth thing.
Oh wow. Now THATS a clever design.
that's the raelian original flag. a really strange UFO cult.
lots of drugs where involved when they made their flag. as they are pacifist.
compared with other cults of the time they seem harmless and are openly pro Palestine and against zionism.
I support giving Netanyahu swastika eyes but I do agree that adding the star of David to the design conflates Judaism with Netanyahu's genocidal Zionism. Not all Jews support Zionism or Israel's genocide. It's a regrettable choice and it's now all the predictable media will focus on.
as much as I agree with you. it isn't the artist who made that who put Jewish imagery in there.
it was the state of Israel who did.
100%. Netenyahu and the state of Israel's actions and harming and endangering the Jewish people around the world much more than anything else right now.
tbf, it did begin and a century before Netanyahu.
let's not forget all the zionists who are responsible. it isn't just Netanyahu.
give him a sudden heart attack and without Netanyahu Israel, apartheid and its genocide would be basically the same.
Maybe you should ask Israel to remove the star of david from it's flag instead
Israel made the star of David a hate symbol. Flat out. The rest of the Jews can make a new logo.
It is on te flag of the country he leads, that is occupying stolen land and committing a genocide. Maybe jews shouldnt have let zionist conflate their religion withzionist hate.
Zionism is literally Jewish Supremacy.
80% of Jews in the US support Israel/Zionism in some shape way or form. Idk about the rest of the West nor the rest of the world, but the majority of Jews live in the West.
If non-Zionist Jewish people want to claim back their precious symbol, they can start by utilizing it in meaningful action against Israel, Zionists, and their allies. Until then, those that cry about this conflation can go fuck themselves.
.ml out here defending Zionazi hate symbols now?
If being pro Ukraine is part of anti-war-ism, that means supporting capitalist homophobic nazi-infested Russia is pro-war-ism.
I see you're kind hearted in the sense that you don't like war (assuming you're anti Zionist) but are lib and haven't read enough political theory to fully understand the root cause of it (NATO eastward expansion and western imperialism)
If Russia just treated Ukraine proper, and not steal Crimea like they did.
Then, Ukraine would become good allies if actually treated well.
Crazy that they did just that. I'm sure there's no context
The context is probably oil, sea control, so on. They know they are on the edge when it comes to global dominance, and that it was their last chance to defeat NATO, so they resorted to realpolitik. Does not mean we should be for conquering a free and innocent country like Ukraine.
Probably? Don't guess, investigate.
A great thinker (Mao zedong) once said: "no investigation no right to speak"
Does not mean we should be for conquering a free and innocent country like Ukraine.
Who said that we were? Analysis is not justification.
The root cause for Russia to resort to realpolitik is NATO Eastward expansion aka expanding the market for western weapons manufacturers and increasing the demand for weapons by provoking conflict
...there's our difference, I just don't buy that story, because I'm not team-codded. I'm pro-Palestine, anti-Ukraine.
You don't buy the western imperialist story when they support a genocide in Palestine, but buy it when they support a banderist regime in Ukraine for them to privatize everything for western capital... Ok
Ukraine wouldn't have so much western military aid if Russia didn't invade. Ukraine wouldn't want to be part of NATO so desperately if Russia didn't invade. I think it's Russia's fault NATO is expanding.
What function did NATO serve after the dissolution of the UDSSR? How did Russia turn from foe (UDSSR) to friend (Russian Federation) to foe again? Which enemy did NATO after the dissolution of the UDSSR have in order to justify the defensive alliance? What role do you think the military industrial complex played in this?
These aren't rhetorical questions.
Sealioning is when you question someones understanding of a topic that they are very confident about
You realise geopolitics isn't a sports game, right? You can be a critic of US imperialism and Russian imperialism.
You realise that the disagreement is in our definitions of imperialism, right?
Labeling Russia simply "imperialist" or "not imperialist" is inadequate. Russia is a revisionist, semi-peripheral power with imperialist tendencies and practices, particularly in its near abroad, but lacking the integrated monopoly-finance capitalist base that defines core imperialist powers like the US.
Russia is reacting to US imperialism.
Go smoke your bong. No matter what arguments you try to pull, the moment they actually invaded Ukraine, they became THE aggressors, and are in the wrong.
They became the aggressor when you strip the context.
They will still be sorrounded by NATO after conquering Ukraine, not an improvement really.
Why would they do it then?
The old man wants to feel like a powerful leader before he dies, and he doesn't care what happens afterwards
I dont subscribe to great man theory understanding of history
That's okay, I only want you to subscribe to great man theory of dictatorships. You can subscribe to a different theory for other kinds of government.
I subscribe to historical materialism. Seeing as you think history is driven by great man I understand why you thought the questions I gave you are sealioning in your eyes
I'm guessing a mixture of desperation, and trying to outlive the west (if they can just grab enough resources for their needs until the west collapses, they can deal with other issues later). Still, I can't support the invasion. If they could just stop being assholes, they would have more allies, people liked Putin, and he improved Russia's reputation before the Ukraine war (and they even somewhat overlooked the Crimea invasion).
Still, I can’t support the invasion
No one does. War is an extension of diplomacy
fuck right off
