Reminds me of this one, and how in the US you can lose your job in academia (and many other sectors) for supporting the BDS movement to boycott Israeli goods:

Lmao, I'm taking a Europe after 1919 history course at a notoriously conservative and it is a struggle to not be openly vitriolic about my hatred for the imperialist bloc.

“It’s bad to support smothering orphans” what country does this guy live in
The Saudi, UAE and (to a lesser extent) Egyptian (edit: governments) are all for whatever Israel does. It’s more complicated in other countries because the people are against it but the government isn’t, so you have to be against Israel just enough to please the people but not too much that you displease the government ❤️

There is an extremely limited number of arabs that are even close to tolerant of the genocide being committed, and those people are either rich or government officials. Almost every arab I know would spit in a person's face if they found out they were even remotely pro-Israel.

I may be biased in this view point given that I am Palestinian, but I have never had to distance someone for their point of view so I'd say that what I said still stands.

Probably mainly people with ties to Israeli politicians (except for Hadash Ta'al, they cool).

[-] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 days ago

So to you Arab countries are places where the government and the people are the same, even though you recognize other countries aren't like that? The vast majority of Muslims are pro Palestine and would be offended by you insinuating that they support Israel just because their shitty governments do.

Also, it's funny to even imply that those governments are completely sovereign entities who are there due to any kind of organic process, rather than largely deformed wrecks resulting from massive outside pressure (almost all by the US empire and its allies).

[-] Linearity@piefed.zip 1 points 6 days ago

Of course I’m not assuming anyone supports Israel or that the people and government are the same
This rant was purely against governments, sorry if I worded it wrong

What did you mean by the bolded section if not "it's not complicated in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt because the people and the government support it"? I don't mean to be confrontational here, but I don't see how else that sentence can be interpreted.

[-] Linearity@piefed.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Other countries the people are against the genocide but the governments aren’t really (some may at least “condemn” Israel for their public image)

[-] LeninWeave@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

But are the people in favor of the genocide in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt?

[-] Linearity@piefed.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Mostly no, but you’d be surprised how many are okay with it in Saudi and the UAE
Happens because they’re nationalists, support whatever the government does

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago

Very bad wording, it makes it seem like you're accusing the Saudi, uea, and Egyptian people of doing so

[-] wuffah@lemmy.world 63 points 6 days ago

Remember also that Trump, The President of the United States, yelled back “FUCK YOU!”, and walked away, apparently hitting a nerve. He’s probably not capable of true guilt, but he can definitely feel shame.

How many people can actually say they made the fucking President say “fuck you”? A national hero.

Since it's Trump, probably more than you think.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 10 points 5 days ago

It's rage and humiliation. There is no shame.

Krasnov also flipped off TJ Sabula. At that point, all the workers should have returned with a single finger salute.

[-] roserose56@lemmy.zip 32 points 6 days ago

In USA the word revolution must be banned, because people won't do anything with a pedophile president.

I like this flag because the states aren't in the tent at all.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 24 points 6 days ago

Old news, he’s already been reinstated.

[-] agingelderly@lemmy.world 43 points 6 days ago

True but only because he is in a union. Thank goodness for them

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 6 days ago

Didn't he also get a couple hundred thousand from go fund me too?

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

It's funny that he would be a millionaire from the GoFundMe if he weren't in a union like 75%+ of this country isn't. Lol

[-] DoctimusLime@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 6 days ago

Eat the rich asap fam, these monsters are by far the greatest threat we face, time to seize their assets and jail them for their crimes 💪
