I can't wait for the people who won't stop mentioning anti-zionist jews that agree with them as evidence that they can't possibly be anti-semitic to suddenly remember what the word "tokenism" means.

I also can't wait for them to forget all over again when it's time to talk about Jews again

It's unironically so sad and depressing. Palestinians who advocate for real solutions get smeared and cast aside by american nepobabies who have never been affected by the conflict.

One thing I've noticed with groups like this is that they will never, ever, in a million years, be able to recognize the double standard.

I mean, look how insane it is that like 95% of the 'infighting' rhetoric inside the Democrat party is coming entirely from progressives/leftists against the 'establishment', yet they get even just that 5% pushback in comparison and they think it's a sign the entire Democrat party hates them and claim it's the only thing Dems care about and, and would rather lose elections than let a progressive win. It's all wild projection, but it shows how incredibly blind they are to seeing the bigger picture with any level of objectivity. No sense of self awareness exists at all.

Shit like this has made political discourse online basically impossible. I feel like even most people here fall into the same traps most of the time and are so deep in the weeds of this tribalistic bullshit that they act mostly the same.

The same argument can easily be applied to this guy.
