Pick a side.

Don't forget the Goblins! Although I don't know if that was from her or from Universal Studios.

lol imagine coming in to other people's instances to talk shit and then getting mad when they argue back

Don't act cute. Israel just attacked Iran, you can't ignore the context.

Liberals are always telling me to choose the lesser of two evils, but when I apply that to Israel and Iran they get mad.

She is fine with different people moving to her country as long as they assimilate, so muggleborns and half-bloods can be wizzies too as long as they wear robes and curse in Merlin's name. She hates multiculturalism, which is why the elves stay enslaved. They're irreconcilably different. Sort of like transfolk. We're different, in a way that can't just be assimilated away.

Or... something like that. Her politics are kind of incoherent.

Peanuts claim to be nuts, but they aren't a legumtimate part of the taxonomy.

I dunno.

Supporting transphobes puts my life in danger. I might get fucking killed because of some bullshit this billionaire funded.

I also hate that you're defending people who give money to the transphobe. Whether you give her your money or not doesn't change the fact that you're going to bat for people who do give her their money.

If all of her fans only pirated I wouldn't mind.

Before colonialism, empires would conquer lands and then just make the people who already live there into their subjects.

And before empires and agriculture and such, people weren't really organized enough to steal land (and weren't embedded deeply enough in the land for it to be stolen). They'd just move to the new land and become part of the people already there.

Like cashews!

I thought nuts had to come from trees, though.

Like, peanuts aren't actually nuts.

It's payday... In ten years.

Assuming the laws don't change.

And assuming ICE doesn't kill him to stop the lawsuit.

Settler-colonialism isn't just about who is in power (although it is about that). That's just regular colonialism, like French Algeria.

Settler-colonialism is about importing settlers to replace the indigenous population while enacting genocidal policies to exterminate or expell the indigenous population. Egypt isn't experiencing that.

That's why Egypt doesn't get the level of support that Israel does.

No, I hate that you're giving money to a transphobe that wants me dead. You are responsible for what your money does.

I just look down on you for having shit tastes.

These are totally different positions.

Read another book.

But they didn't have to make a colony of European settlers to do that, did they? Egypt is a loyal collaborator with the US and it fulfills the same geostrategic goals, but the amount of support Egypt gets pales in comparison to Israel. Why is that?

We can't dismiss the ideological importance of Israel. The unlimited support of the 51st state is exactly because it is a settler-colony.

Israel is murdering and starving women right now.

The reason the US supports Israel is exactly because Israel is a settler-colony. They're part of the same genocidal settler project, Zionism is Manifest Destiny.

If landback wins in Israel the ones paying attention know that it's coming for them too.

USAmericans sweating rn 😬

For those unaware. CW: Israeli war crimes, SA, torture, etc
