Hey all. I’d like to open an official discussion regarding the upturning of the prior Hexbear party line on an :israel-cool: emote proper with the unambiguous Zionist flag.
I want to preface this by saying this is not in a ‘ceding the issue’ way. Over the past year I’ve been trying to engage in self-crit w/rt the chauvinism I’ve internalized growing up in a Liberal Zionist household, and my personal viewpoint on it did a 180 some months back, so I want to reopen this discussion proper in my personal capacities as Self-Appointed Emote Czar.
The reason it’s taken long enough beyond that is prior to July, I was essentially half-engaged with the site in order to finish out my degree. After that, it’s been mostly inertia of confirming with the admins and other /c/Judaism mods, as well as having to be rigorous about my job search personally giving me little free time to coordinate this.
I do not want to center myself in this conversation more than I inadvertently already have, so I will leave my own opinion on the issue as a comment rather than explaining further here.
The consensus we’ve roughly come to is to open up the discussion in an official manner for a day or so. After that, I’ll weigh the discussion in an entirely vibes-based manner (sorry Dean Norris enjoyers) and we’ll alter Hexbear party line on it accordingly.
Always believed the ‘no burning pissrael’s flag’ rule was just a vestige of this site’s residual rad liberalism, I ignored it and didn’t make a fuss because I suspected the site would get over it in due time as the true extent of zionism’s fascism became obvious even to the most dense cracker
I was patient because frankly most of you haven’t been on the fuck zionism train as long as I have, the tears you’re shedding I shed in 2008, and most of you would’ve downvoted my ass during r/arab’s site wide offensive against reddit Zionism in 2016
You’re not burning the Star of David, you’re burning the flag of a genocidal nazi state, the star was already desecrated by being printed on the white and blue, to conflate the two IS ACCEPTANCE of the zionist argument that they embody all aspects of Judaism, that is an antisemitic and fascistic lie no different from taking Nazi German occultism and blood myths seriously
