    Zohran’s campaign has really shown that Islamophobia is an acceptable form of bigotry. I means its been obvious for a very long time, but it feels even more prevalent now due to social media.

    these are the same people that say that it’s disrespecting to compare the palestinian genocide to the holocaust.

      Vehemently disagree. It’s not Earth as a whole that needs this. There is no reason why 7 billion innocent people in the global south should have to go down together with us just because the imperial core is full of iredeemable genocidal psychopaths. The only societies that need rebooting are those of the West.

        There is an old Jewish joke, loved by Derrida, about a group of Jews in a synagogue publicly admitting their nullity in the eyes of God. First, a rabbi stands up and says: “O God, I know I am worthless. I am nothing!” After he has finished, a rich businessman stands up and says, beating himself on the chest: “O God, I am also worthless, obsessed with material wealth. I am nothing!” After this spectacle, a poor ordinary Jew also stands up and also proclaims: “O God, I am nothing.” The rich businessman kicks the rabbi and whispers in his ear with scorn: “What insolence! Who is that guy who dares to claim that he is nothing too!”

        Too arrogant to claim that non westerners are not capable of performing various atrocities

        We still let them get away with this shit, how many of us in the global south are doing anything to actually fight back? Apart from Yemen and Iran, we are all either too cowardly, weak, or self centered to work together and put an end to this bullshit. I can think of plenty of societies that are not western that desperately deserve rebooting.
