  • Bud, not sure where you’re getting that I’m talking about “The Jews” here. Unequivocally, I’m talking about the Country of Israel as a political apparatus, its ongoing genocide in Palestine, and the resultant response and political fallout for celebrities like Macklemore. Let’s not forget his saying literally just ‘the two forbidden words’ got him immediately deplatformed.

    What mythic past exactly is Macklemore yearning for? A time before Israel damaged or destroyed almost every building in Gaza?

    Why are you bringing up the Jews, the Republicans, Iran, the Soviet Union, and Russia all of a sudden? No one has said a word about that here that I can see.

    In my experience though, these are exactly the ol’ faithful defensive lines Zionists throw out when anyone gets too close to changing your mind… Maybe, just maybe, you can see that what Israel is doing in Gaza is truly and utterly inexcusable.

    Maybe, just maybe, that’s the only point anyone here is trying to make.



  • What does the music of Ed Sheeran have to do with the plight of Palestinians? > Sheeran kicked someone off his tour for saying the forbidden two words because a billionaire told him to.


    The point of this movement is not about improving anything for Palestinians. > Macklemore donated $1M to Palestinian charities and encouraged others to join him in doing the same.


    You just mindlessly rattle off some words about “capitalist ethnostate genocide” to make the harassment and intimidation sound vaguely moral… > I gave you a precise definition of Fascism. I did not mindlessly rattle anything off. However, you seem to be using the term Fascism based on vibes…


    The goal is to make people afraid of your movement. > The goal is to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza by challenging their “righteous hero” narrative and ending the uncritical support it gets from Western governments and corporations.


    That is the emotional core of all fascist movements. > Fascism isn’t a feeling. It has a definition. The actual, literal core of Fascism is the binding together of state and corporate forces to keep power in the hands of the “deserving”. What you are describing is not even remotely Fascist…


    I’m not sure if you’re a troll or genuinely believe what you’re saying. But if you do really care about Fascism, by telling people to shutup, stay in their lane, and keep it about the music, you are being a mouthpiece for the neo-Fascist status quo. Nothing is apolitical during a genocide.

    As someone on the internet writing to someone else on the internet, I ask you, if you genuinely care about Fascism, to really think about the words you’re using. Are they really definitionally accurate? Or do they just feel accurate?

    However, if you are just being a troll, I thank you for the platform and the facile arguments.


  • How did you get to ‘Free Palistine is Fascist’ exactly? How is being against the wholesale slaughter of civilians and the indiscriminate bombing of entire cities during Israel’s explicitly illegal occupation of Palestine pro-Fascism?

    Fascism is the binding together of state and corporate powers to promote the interests of the mythical “deserving” people while expelling the “undeserving” underclass. I’m not sure you can coherently sympathize with the interests of an extremely wealthy ethnostate while they commit a genocide using the most advanced weapons systems the world has ever seen and talk about the evils of Fascism…
