I never understood the ammunition part, the fascists are now rounding up minorities and sending them into concentration camps and shooting protesters… rhetorical ammunition? THEY’RE USING LIVE BULLETS
Yeah I don’t get why we should care about fascist ammunition ever. They make shit up over nothing, we shouldn’t have to self censor over what they could possibly take and run with. Then that means we’re preemptively neutering ourselves before anything happens.
Agree, something, something the Jean Paul Satre quote about not taking the antisemite seriously we also are one of the few sites that documents the genocide in its entirety, any lawman coming through wanting to bump us off would have done so already and done real harm to people being informed about the genocide.
Apparently we’ve also already been reported to federal agencies and the site isn’t gone yet, so I don’t see why a religious symbol burning would change anything when we regularly distribute images of the zionist flag burning.
Saving most of my thoughts for the inevitable struggle session but shouldn’t we be smart enough to recognize when we’re burning the zionist flag vs. burning the star of David? If one’s in a thread about isntreals crimes and another is a random post unrelated to isntreal, I think we can tell which is antisemitic.
It’s just liberal zionists deflecting, I truly dont believe they think burning an ethnostate’s flag is on par with the antisemitic hate crime of burning the star of David to get at Jewish people
They’re just butthurt and trying to find a “leftist” defense of their butthurt instead of doing self reflection
Speaking of the triangle: I just submitted an actual israel-cool, I think it meets halfway without sacrificing the political message: https://hexbear.net/post/5886556
True enough and very good point, thank you for keeping it real. Definitely not trying to die on that hill, actually now that you mention it I feel like that was an ass take on my part. I’ve thought about it a little more and I think the most reasonable argument is that depending on how the laws go, having an emoji like that could end up getting the site shut down. But that’s very hypothetical and meanwhile, yeah they’re starving hundreds of thousand of children for crying out loud. Country full of psycho killers doesn’t deserve that kind of consideration.
But actually I don’t remember this ever being made a policy in the first place. If I recall correctly, WhyEsEff said she personally wasn’t comfortable making the emoji but if someone else wanted to, they’re free to do so. Then everyone just left it at that. Anyway, I’m for it, and I might fire up GIMP myself.

Us dirty coloreds cant understand the winning strategy of preemptive compliance

Fired up the old Wilbur-assisted editing program myself: https://hexbear.net/post/5886556
It’s umm, not very good image editing wise (I have forsaken Wilbur’s good graces), so anyone is free to submit a better version of it.
Lmao, I love it, well done, I think you solved a problem by using the red arrow, that’s pretty clever actually
