Supporters of Palestine have called to boycott the payment platform Stripe after its CEO and co-founder Patrick Collison - an Irish-American billionaire who has advocated for Palestinians in the past - posted on social media on Wednesday about his run on the beach in Tel Aviv and how it was “great” to be back.
Many responded to his post on X by pointing out that he was only thirty minutes away from the Gaza Strip. Conservative estimates say nearly 44,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s war on Gaza and two million have been under constant Israeli aggression as they fight what UN experts have called “'deliberate starvation”.
Some drew comparisons to the Academy Award-winning film, Zone of Interest, which depicts the everyday lives of Germans who lived next to the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War Two.
The reason why we have to deal with trump now is because people like you are so casually easily saying shit like “you are okay with fascism.” You ARE the problem.
Any idea how many people went to right wing web sites, podcasts, blogs, forums, etc just to escape the PC police who will label anything not fully agreeing with the opinion du jour “fascism”?
When you make it impossible to have a normal conversation without immediately jumping to Hitler & co, people will go somewhere else where they can speak without immediately being banned. They all went to just mildly more right forums, where they were welcomed with open arms, and where their “I don’t agree with this specific left opinion” quickly changed into “fuck everything about the left”
What is even sadder is that, if you even read this (most people on the left won’t read anything they can’t 100% agree with) you will immediately go “that is aan fascist lie!” You will take exactly 0 seconds to reflect on your own complicity in trump coming to power because it’s so much easier to just. Blame. The .guy. who. Disagreed.
And just to clarify, fuck fascism. I don’t want any of it. I don’t want genocides neither, doooh, but we live in the real world where things never are that easy. I would have voted Biden a thousand times. Not because he was the best choice but because he wasn’t trump. As soon as the trump risk had faded you could have protested out of the wazoo, paralyze the country until the genocide stops, whatever you want. But until then you had one job: keeping trump out, convince everyone to vote biden to keep trumpo out, and you failed.
You released the devil just because Jesus wasn’t perfect for you.
Thoughtnthe Palestine genocide was bad? Wait for the next 4 years, buddy.
