soft, but at what cost #BDS 🇵🇸 ( lemmy.cafe )

Ahava Cosmetics, bought by Chinese conglomerate Fosun in 2016, runs its production site, visitor center, and main store in an illegal Israeli settlement in occupied Palestinian territory. Known for extracting minerals from the Dead Sea for cosmetics, Ahava has been a key target of the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, and...

If you go through the Paliroots store Nablus soap bars are a good moisturizer for shower time at least!

Giving the game away that white leftwashed-centrists don't actually see black people women and queer folks as working class people deserving of efforts to keep safe.

Because letting Trump win will definitely improve things on that front!

This is why every cause you lot try to parasitically attach yourselves to becomes associated with valueless cynics.

"We think any amount of genocide is bad!" They say to defend their choice to let even more genocide happen!

"We think any amount of drug policing is bad!" They say to defend their choice to let drug policing get even worse!

"We think a known lifelong stutter is enough to accuse a candidate of having Alzheimer's and therefore worth the risk of replacing them at the 11th hour!" They say to defend their choice to let the bastard with Syphilis fueled super Alzheimer's attain the reigns of power!

"We think there isn't enough priority on expanding national healthcare services!" They say to defend letting the guy who illegalized significant parts of even private healthcare in large swathes of the country back into office!

"We think not enough is being done to address student loan forgiveness!" They say to justify empowering the people who are almost certainly planning to institute a "lib tax" for anyone who's ever gotten a college degree to punish them for getting "indoctrinated"!

"We have serious issues with the legacies of racial, class, gender, and identitarian inequality in this country!" They say to justify handing the reigns to the fuckasses who think the issue is that they're only legacies and not the full effect they once were!

Rule 1, if you can, you're voting, and if you can't prove you voted you have no right to show up to all the aestheticized rallies and marches and protests as if you're anything but a play pretend ally who refuses to do even the minimum work to reduce and prevent harm to vulnerable communities.

No "I voted" sticker, no pride flag face paint, no entry to the BLM march, have fun waiting in line at the drive through with all the other fake allies at the women's march for your fake ally latte at Starbucks wit yo big "Bachelorette Party at a Gay Bar" energy.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Again, saying the quiet part out loud that class reductionists think black people, women, and queer folks are outside of the working class.

White men are not the only component of the working class and if your attitude to being asked to recognize that is "girlbosses and black ceos won't help the working class" you're not a class conscious activist, you're a fascist using "the working class" as an innuendo for "The Nation"

PhlubbaDubba ,

Legalizing and taxing a major recreational substance industry is actually pretty smart economic policy.

PhlubbaDubba ,

They might fight harder if excuse spamming leftwashed centrists like you didn't practice the "vote once ever then hibernate as if everything should be fixed" activism you accuse liberals of doing

PhlubbaDubba ,

If it was possible Texas would have made it mandatory by now

Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term?

I've been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama's first term in 2008 more wasn't accomplished. Shouldn't that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside...

PhlubbaDubba ,

And that they'll actually follow through with breaking that filibuster,

Fuckin' Manchin and Sinema, the fuckin' bootlicking little tagnuts.

PhlubbaDubba ,

"Women should be stockaded as brood mares" is not an opinion it is a fascist maxim that civilized society would rightly deem worthy of an involuntary psych hold.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Kinda funny how breeding fetishes kinda became more popular around the same time the right to abortion date flared up again after Dobbs

-.-

Not 100% effective even when used properly and the correct size is used.

N'or is any BC method short of inserting a valve in every man's testicles that are only opened to allow sperm to happen when they earn their reproducing privileges by showing sufficient "not a blithering moron"-ness

PhlubbaDubba ,

If you are capable of refusing service you have no right to ever call yourself a healthcare professional

PhlubbaDubba ,

If your opinion of pregnancy is that it is a rightful punishment for humans doing sex you should never be allowed within a mile of a child, let alone to be a parent of one.

Children are not a consequence. Sex is not a sin. Purity culture is a blight upon the land that inevitably leads to forced child marriages and child beauty pageants.

You're probably one of those monsters who thinks that all the violence Sex Workers face is fair game because "dAe SeX bAd‽"

Like we get it bro, you think the female orgasm is made up.

PhlubbaDubba ,

If you think an unresponsive cluster of cells is a "body" then I'll await you turning yourself in at the hague for crimes against humanity if you've ever jizzed even once in your life for the millions of people you have killed in cold blood.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Your grandmother from Long Island highly approves!

PhlubbaDubba ,

You know it's Russia when a specific legal clause is inserted in the medical care laws defining being poisoned as a common form of injury.

"Look we have to do something with all this novochok we have left over from soviet days!"

PhlubbaDubba ,

Not sure if it is in effect but there's at least a dozen state legislators who are making pushes for it by now without a doubt.

Especially in the wake of referendums spinning against republicans on this issue, conservatives have a nasty little habit of psychotically doubling down when they realize popular opinion is against them.

PhlubbaDubba ,

WOOOSH

PhlubbaDubba ,

Comparing children to firey explosive death is not the compelling argument for your moral worth that you think it is.

PhlubbaDubba ,

What children? You're the one raising hell over a glorified sperm/egg cell cluster here.

PhlubbaDubba ,

I didn't think the other one was necessarily tone deaf in the context it was made in but this one is definitely a lot more direct about what the specific problem is.

"I don't have a problem with people protesting for Palestine, I have a problem with the people who are gonna immediately stop the day after voting closes."

And before anyone tries to accuse me of anything, Palestinian American who's family are Nakba victims, I'm allowed to be upset about people using my family's dead as fetish porn for the cynical politics they were going to try to push before the election anyways.

Or does everyone forget how so concerned people were about forgetting that Joe Biden's always been known as a gaffe machine and stutterer in 2020?

PhlubbaDubba ,

Well clearly letting the side trying actively to make it worse win on purpose will definitely make things better this time!

Maybe now we can look forward to a 9-0 agreeing with Trump's new Bibletution that there is no 13th and 19th amendments!

PhlubbaDubba ,

Spider-Michelin-Man?

PhlubbaDubba ,

Yeah almost like we fucking know better about where any of this moral criticism is headed for after 2016.

It's really fucking hard to be taken seriously about how inexcusable genocide is when you're touting that line in defense of letting the genocide come here too, which is what many of these fake Palestine supporters are trying to get away with.

I don't have a problem with people who are protesting to support my people, I have a problem with the people who are gonna drop my people like a molten lead weight the second the polls close this year.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Good luck with your vote for the people actively trying to make it worse.

I don't mean it, fuck you sideways with a running chainsaw for your complicity in the rise of fascism in this country.

You could have helped and instead decided that the possibility of dead people later is morally identical to handing trans kids to the police yourself.

You're the neighbor who ratted out Anne Frank and you deserve every terrible thing that will come to you for it.

PhlubbaDubba ,

These kinds of stories just make me feel sad for the poor people,

I think it's in a way a mirror of the whiplash most American kids have experienced in the last few years being taught that Freedom and Democracy and Charity and what not were all American Christian values only to get smacked in the face with how a lot of American and American Christian leaders act in any way but, and how a lot of their supporters think that that's a good thing.

PhlubbaDubba ,

You seem to be forgetting the part where the owning class would immediately be setting to work to fight those restrictions on their ability to amass even more capital.

Like yes in theory those regulations would be nice, but in practice allowing the undemocratic ownership of large scale capital inevitably leads to those bodies being reserve institutions for anti-democratic movements.

Capitalist ownership is inherently a threat to democracy.

PhlubbaDubba ,

If genocide is the only thing you'll listen to then you'll be the last person anyone facing all the rest will consider an ally until their problems escalate to genocide.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Seriously, Palestinian American here and I feel actually violated for them to be using my kin's corpses as fetish porn for their narrative.

I have family who are Nakba victims that I haven't been able to meet because they put everything into giving my grandfather the chance to escape, people who actually experienced the genocide first hand, and all I can see in these people wielding it as a cudgel to declare they won't vote and nobody else should either is the same white cynical "leftism" that made Nader and Stein become the perfect catastrophes for American democracy.

Here is the single Palestinian cause, Badna N3aesh! We want to live! We want to live, both in the homeland, and everywhere else we may go, and that means you have no right to use our dead to let the ones who would kill us here too into power.

Badna N3aesh!!!

Reminds me of the mass blocker and mass tagger wars

Someone on twitter created a tool that auto blocks anyone who followed at least 2 of five specific users, and found that it basically entirely shut down the gamer gaters and began spreading the tool to other users.

You can imagine that the gamergaters were less than pleased to see their harassment campaign being obstructed, and even less happy to find out how simply they could all be categorized and dismissed.

PhlubbaDubba ,

If the other guy being a fascist running on a platform of doing fascism isn't enough for you to snap into line, you're a fascist trying to feel moral about being a fascist.

Trump is denying the existence of the 13th and 19th amendments now and you're actually still on about how politicians should have to "earn your vote?"

Tell me you're white without telling me you're white.

Who the fuck do you think is gonna get "culled" first in that scenario?

PhlubbaDubba ,

It's the same reason the chrisnats attached themselves to fetuses

Palestinian corpses can't demand accountability or advocate their own interests which might not align with yours

PhlubbaDubba ,

Justified or not

Tell me you're white without telling me you're white.

See also the part where you compared being able to make a comparative harm judgement to "the right to not be owned by another person and the right to vote while woman might as well not exist anymore!"

PhlubbaDubba ,

Sounds like you're a white mexican.

"I'm not white! Now shut up about my fantasy of the white-rage-iest shit possible happening!"

Fokkin' Moghafil.

PhlubbaDubba ,

But please white "leftists" tell us more about "but Biden same!"

PhlubbaDubba ,

Yeah almost like a war broke out that created major supply shocks which would have impacted the ability of our major democratic allies to function!

But why let actual context get in the way of whining about how the dems are exactly the same as a christian fascist movement?

PhlubbaDubba ,

Tbf there is also a certain extent of legit lefty anti-mask anti-vaxx sentiment,

Over there it's less about pseudo-science (at least until you get the california crunchy moms who believe in crystal healing) and more about how the US medical establishment can't be trusted for one reason or the other.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Hey everyone, remember when white leftists were on about how they're the only ones that actually take the threat of fascism in america seriously?

PhlubbaDubba ,

"I failed my High School Civics class on purpose" energy in this question.

PhlubbaDubba ,

DNC decided they get to decide the president rather than the people

I'm sorry which side of that debate says we should have counted donations instead of the actual votes?

All but outright saying "only the bougie white kids should count at the polls!" and yet somehow the DNC are the ones who are the threats to democracy and subverting the will of the people because they checks notes counted the ballots cast for all the candidates in the race.

Just about figures that the "voting bad!" screechers think that voting in the primary is somehow putting the fix in.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Literally every grievance they have can be answered with "well then why didn't you vote in <X primary/off year election> where a candidate who would have answered that grievance if not built momentum towards one who would was running?"

If they spent a percent of the energy voting that they did whining about why they don't want to, Bernie would have won the 2016 primary handily, along with a slate of progressive challengers at his back.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Cascadia is fundamentally a movement born out of the Northwest Imperative, AKA "white people going so nuts they want to make an actual white ethnostate out of everything from the Pacific coast through Northern Wyoming."

PhlubbaDubba ,

I can't wait to see how they try to explain to us how Bernie helped the DNC rig the primaries against Bernie

PhlubbaDubba ,

If you're still asking this question after 2016, you've had the very simple math explained to you already, you just refuse to accept fault for being addicted to your superiority complex.
