well, I was going to make fun of you for being American but I guess I can’t.

Is it this 60k follower twitter poster’s fault that the most powerful governments on Earth have all been running under the violent assumption for nearly a century that anti-semitism = anti-zionism? Do they really need the help, or is he just pointing out that this absurd focus on the “safety” and “feelings” of a group of white people during a genocide committed (rightly or wrongly) in their name is part of what allows Zionism to survive when many other white supremacist colonial projects were consigned to history decades ago?

Are you American?

oh yeah fuck that jfc

Do you have any evidence for your claim that he doesn’t support Irish resistance to colonialism?

You don’t have any evidence of your claim, so you “don’t care to hear a defense”? Come on.

wow, he posted? that’s incredibly brave of him.

Yeah, people get arrested for posts supporting proscribed groups in the UK. People get arrested for wearing shirts and holding up signs stating support for PA. As a relatively well-known figure in the online media space he’s risking that consequence, which can lead to 14 year imprisonment. Hundreds of people have been arrested in the past weeks for stating their support for the group in the UK.

it’s his total lack of any serious posts about the Irish question or British occupation of the 6

Do you seriously think the guy who goes out of his way to post in support of Palestine Action after they were proscribed, at risk to himself, and generally takes the strongest line on anti-colonial resistance out of any UK media figure is secretly harbouring pro-British occupation attitudes, directly contradicting basically everything he’s ever said on any issue?

Is it a “famine joke” to say that he “views Ireland’s potato famine as one of history’s gravest horrors”? https://x.com/eyuplovely/status/1839456840414880231

I feel like you’re reaching hard here to pretend like this guy who spends most of his time shitting on the British media (including the “acceptable left”) is some kind of evil unionist, just because he’s not bothered about catering to the “fears” of white British Jews. Some of it is edgy, some a little off colour, but it’s no worse than calling any other white person a cracker.

which of his views/posts would you call “British chauvinism”, specifically? what has he said that is “antisemitic”, rather than explicitly referring to the British state’s policy of criminalising anti-zionist sentiment?

no

well robbery is sometimes justified so im willing to say free him

cant access bc blocked bc GDPR what did he do

it’s brilliant for a lot of people it just sucks that it’s being touted as the “solution” to mass obesity caused by capitalist low quality food supply

so is it all still terrible or

There’s a great quote, I think it’s Trotsky, about the relative cheapness of life in the years following the outbreak of WW1 vs prior to that. Something about how thousands now perish in a day and nobody blinks when that would be unconscionable a few years before.

if there is anything left of society by 2100 it’ll look something like permanent war communism in an atmosphere of absolute ecological collapse

Notably bellicose speech from Naim Qassem, leader of Hezbollah, today.

Our strength as a resistance lies in our faith and our stance. Military capability is only a part, and it’s tied to the strength of our position.

If we defend and suffer heavy losses—which is expected—we still have hope. If we resist, we can close the door to the enemy and open a door to liberation.

Lebanon faces three real dangers: Israel on the southern border, Daesh-aligned elements on the eastern border, and American hegemony attempting to control Lebanon, impose guardianship, and paralyze its ability to act and live.

Let our stance be united. Let’s prioritize confronting these dangers. Afterward, we are open to discussing a national defense strategy and a security strategy.

We will not abandon our faith and strength. We are ready for confrontation. We will not surrender or hand over our weapons to “israel.”

We know confrontation is very costly—but surrender leaves us with nothing. Learn from what’s happening in the region and the world.

We are ready for defensive confrontation if “israel” attacks.

As long as we live and breathe, “israel” will not achieve its objectives. We can guarantee this because we have an extraordinary popular support base—unprecedented in history—ready to sacrifice for dignity, pride, and Lebanon’s independence.

Speaking openly of the cost of confrontation and the necessity of it. There may be war soon.

these people are murderers and should be treated as such
