they don't think of Palestinians as real people

Reminder that Biden is doing this deliberately to Palestinians. He could stop it, he has the power, but he chooses not to.

What do you support? If this isn't too atrocious for you to (at the bare minimum) speak out against Joe Biden, then nothing is too much for you.

The ‘NYTimes’ is ignoring Israel’s crackdown in the West Bank

You know it's bad when CNN is cited as having more left reporting than NYT. NYT doesn't want to upset their liberal Zionist reader-base.

Insane that people will try to say this is a minority movement. Inspiring news from Wisconsin.

Always attacking strawpeople because their worldview is indefensible on its own

Free Palestine

Fuck the border

Fuck Biden, fuck Trump, and fuck anyone who defends either of these fascist fucks

"Four more years"

"Whatabout Trump"

They'll do anything but discuss the issues.

Scratch a neoliberal, and you'll find a fascist.

It's racism tbh. If these were white Americans or Europeans, we'd be doing everything in our power to stop it and not grossly downplaying it by saying it's "just one thing."

The whole post is good, but if I may:

Liberals, devoid of principles, would never understand any extreme, or even inconvenient form of protest

My god, so true! This is why liberals were hand-wringing about blocking streets during the BLM protests and gatekeeping what constitutes a "proper" protest, and clutching their pearls about a campaign every time the sitting president is criticized, and using inappropriate terms like "harm reduction" to refer to supporting a genocidal leader, and fundamentally being incapable of grasping the sacrifice of someone like Aaron Bushnell, and why they sit in their suburban homes and post about how someone like me is "privileged" while their dear leader imprisons and deports my friends and loved ones, while I live surrounded by fascists in a red state while our president does nothing to stop or slow the creep of fascism, but instead implements even more LGBTQIAphobic policies that bolster hate. It's projection. Look at any thread in any liberal community, and you'll find them -- the people described in this post. Palestine is "complicated" even though unprecedented numbers of children are murdered every day by Israel, the "border crisis" is something that like 70% of them have been duped into believing so therefore it's okay and must be real, and black people are supposed to protest their systemic murder in a way that's acceptable to their delicate suburban sensibilities.

Liberals are fundamentally unable to understand the left, or anyone with any kind of principles.

I've seen some pretty frequent posters on the Fediverse participating in the dissemination of anti-EZLN/pro-capitalist/pro-state propaganda, so I thought it would be a good time to repost this. Yes, I was personally concerned when I first read the article by AP News, but it turns out this restructuring has been (probably deliberately) misconstrued and presented as a weakening of the Zapatistas, when such is not the case!

Here's the original release if you'd rather read it for yourself instead of the tumblr post. I just think that tumblr blog laid it out nicely and easily.

All the other disparagements of Zapatistas that I've seen in the mainstream news are the exact same regurgitated racist/classist statements that are made by the western media against literally any indigenous group ever. Let's see if I can list them:

There's poverty

No shit. Poverty created by the Mexican state and colonialism long before the Zapatistas existed.

There's lack of access to healthcare

Oh, really? So the US media should be the arbiter of what constitutes fair access to healthcare?

There's gang/cartel activity

...which are bolstered by an inequitable capitalist system and are only able to function within the framework of an oppressive state. Again, this is remarkably not the fault of the Zapatistas.
