I just realized there was another thread about this and @Mardoniush@hexbear.net said what I just wrote but more elegantly:

Also loving the standard refrain of the liberal "I have predefined the left's goal as impossible, because I do not want it"

This kind of thing reminds me of how Judith Butler made personal donations to Kamala Harris' campaign in the 2020 presidential primary.

I think the reason she succumbs to that type of doomerism is spelled out pretty clearly. She even correctly identifies the contradiction at the foundation of all of this: if you want Palestinian suffering to actually end, it means you need Israel to stop existing. The end point of all pro-Palestinian struggle is to abolish Zionism. So, if she does anything more than quietly give some money to a fundraiser, if she accepts the material effects of supporting Palestine, it's equivalent to saying she's part of a movement that wants to get rid of Israel. That wouldn't be nice, it's not an elegant liberal democratic position. So she can't endorse it. In fact, further than not endorsing it, she can't allow herself to believe that it's even possible (or that it would result in anything but disaster). To liberal Zionists like her, a free Palestine can't exist and it must not be allowed to exist.

Zero Palestinian lives were saved

Actually you'll find that when Palestine Actionists sabotaged workshops that are part of the supply chain that makes weapons used by the IOF to commit genocide, that does save lives. Because not all political actions are making youtube videos and voting for the lesser evil. Sometimes you can do something real.

I hope that someday American policy will shift in their favor

Yeah, good, okay. Your thoughts and prayers are not appreciated. I'm just a realist and hope that America just ceases to exist as an imperialist entity (and think that it's good and moral for people to organize towards that end). Death to America, death to Israel.

The post gets more befuddling if you read it.

What hexagonal symmetries mean is slightly different from a shape being made out of hexagons. If you were to take a hexagon and rotate it a certain amount or flip it you will end up back where you started. You can make a set of actions that keep the shape the same, that would look something like {60° rotation, 120° rotation, 180° rotation...}. That set is its symmetry group. If an object has hexagonal symmetries, it has the same set, so even if it looks nothing like a hexagon you would be able to do all the same things you'd do to a hexagon and keep it the same.

Am from PR so I was already familiar with the story. I think it's definitely worth noting that the PFLP had nothing to do with this attack, except for one member who more or less went rogue.

I was just saying how they made this bot have 8chan ideology but boomer parlance and that makes it so much worse. Nobody wants this.

Kinda strange how whatever fact checking it has built in led it to the conclusion that white genocide is fake, but so is the Holocaust. Is it just hardcoded to deny genocide?

From day 1, Zionism has had support from opportunist "socialists" and "communists" that completely lack the capacity for introspection and considering whether there might be a little bit more to politics than flying red flags and raising wages.

Is it really mental gymnastics if they were already plagiarizing Goebbels for Hasbara and using Lebensraum talking points to justify Greater Israel? It's not like there's much of a mask left to take off.
