context

a post was removed calling for genocide of all isntrealis
a mod posted a followup “reminder” that started out ok with how offputting calling for unlimited genocide is, but then said ’we love out israeli comrades, we just hate how far right the israeli government has swung recently’ which got the mod temp banned and another post removed
one commenter in that second removed post said calling for violence against colonisers is calling for violence against amerikkkans and for the death of 80% of the users of this site
this is a third post trying to humourously shitpost about the events without actually starting a struggle session

the title and first line about Palestine are genuine, but then some funny ideas for other stolen land areas came to mind so it turned into a challenge to see who could write the funniest “anyone identifying as _____ and not _____ _____ isn’t a comrade” joke

what you describe about Palestine is spot on, and while it would be fun to see more occupied kangaroo islander framing and such, unlike the first the rest do not automatically disqualify comradeship

"...You mean to tell me there's a simple trick for decreasing the overrepresentation of Seppos on Hexbear by 100%?"

"...To shreds, you say."

maybe the post is a failure and would have benefited from more clarity, thought adding the ‘et al’ and responding to the first couple comments with new riffs was enough to infer intent without over explaining but it can be tricky to find a balance, and at least there’s added context now
