Saw a post today from a Blue MAGA type lib that was all about “don’t be mean to people that just decided to care about Gaza recently”. Libs starting to actually feel vulnerable about Dems being terrible genocide supporters for years, and they don’t want anyone to talk about it because it’s not “effective political strategy”. Same lib also posting about how authoritarian China/Xi is with heavy reference to Tinyman Square and genocide/disappearances etc.
If I had to be around a lib talking like this in person, I’d probably lose my shit.
Yeah pretty much. I just think that, at this point, two years into it, anyone whose job is to be informed and shape discourse, and is just now coming around, needs to meet a very high bar of public contrition and epiphany.
Sure, it’s not something they can be casual about, definitely, but some people are sunk really deep into the muck and a number were basically groomed into it (this applies especially to a certain subset of Jewish people in Zio families).
Yeah that’s true. I just hope that those who are experiencing a genuine crisis now can bring some of their audience along for the ride.
