  • It doesn’t matter what you think about the bloodshed in Gaza, which presents its own distinct case for a transparent and properly leveraged sporting boycott of Israel, and of anyone else involved in violent acts of war.

    Previously-unimaginable levels of means-fetishism. “Israeli sports teams shouldn’t even be allowed to play in other countries at all, but I draw the line at banning their fans”.

    Fucking boo fucking hoo-ligan, some settler-colonists will have to choose between

    1. genocidal flagshagging, or

  • That’s because liberalism isn’t a halfway point between socialism and conservatism it is, to misquote Stalin, fascism with a happy face sticker on it.

    Most “western” countries’ governments have spent the last ~100 years waging outright war on socialism through coups, assassinations, imprisonments, and propaganda.

    Political (and historical) education has been hacked away so much that most people couldn’t give a coherent definition of “socialism” anyway - and socialist policies poll extremely well if you short-circuit the propaganda by not mentioning the forbidden s-word.
