I love how “I fucked your mom” is just too straight and real for Lemmy.
I might be an old straight guy, but I can appreciate keeping it fake & gay around here. 🫡

For as long as Russia is willing to use bombs to steal land, Europe needs bombs. Obviously.

Either they’re all ironic and OP sides with Russa over Ukraine or none of them are ironic and OP sides with Israel.
I don’t like it. Fuck Netanyahu and Fuck Russia.

I absolutely and unequivocally side with Palestine (half of my family is Palestinian) and Ukraine.
It’s jokes. It’s a shitposting group. I shitposted.
I do not stand with Russia or Israel. Both of those regimes go against everything that means basically anything to me. They are evil, along with the USA, which I live in unfortunately.

Everyday I see tankie posts and it’s often the same scam: “america bad” (okay) “hence russia and china good”
Your post could be interpreted as such, especially on Lemmy
Photonic@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I get you. But I still downvoted your post. Why? Not because I disagree with anything you said in this comment, but because you can’t be certain anymore. Shitpost communities are also being affected by people with actual political motives, many memes aren’t memes and tankies rule this space of the internet, just like I left 9GAG years ago because of the neo nazi takeover.
I’m a firm believer of the horseshoe theory (which of course isn’t a blanket theory for everything), but nazis call me communist scum and tankies call me (apparently, as it just happened under another comment under your post) a Zionist. Of course I am neither.
They’re all the same people to me. They’re people with a twisted, broken and oversimplified worldview who won’t be bothered with annoying things like facts and logic. Maybe tankies have a slightly better heart, but the ones supporting the DPRK are just as deranged as the MAGAts.

I’m glad I’m finally seeing someone else that’s actually both pro-palestine AND pro-ukraine for once. It’s usually mutually exclusive — I don’t understand why. Literally every single pro-palestine person I’ve seen otherwise has been pretty vocally anti-Ukraine.
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
I don’t interpret this in either of the ways you suggest. I interpret the image as a whole as ironic:
OP is paraphrasing people that claim “Russia bombing people is bad, but the US bombing people is good, and by the way Israel is above all criticism and you’re an antisemite for suggesting otherwise”, and pointing out the hypocrisy in that claim. I think OP is against wars of aggression in general, and is pointing out that the US and Israel are behaving the same way as Russia when they go bombing people “preemptively”, and that being the aggressor in a war is always bad, regardless of who you are.
MTZ@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
THANK YOU. That is exactly what was meant by this. It’s a critique towards Israel and war itself, and in no way was meant to show support for any of these countries.

AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 11 hours ago
I just interpreted as a meme criticising how people automatically side with the “good side” whether it is actually good or just a puppet state that has to win. Ukraine is actually the good side and accidentally the west supports it. Palestine is actually the good side but they got unlucky and the west supports israel. If anyone is sane, ukraine and palestine both deserve peace because an agressor attacked them and theyre just defending themselves but in the west the narrative kind of conflicts itself cause they support ukraine and israel.
Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 11 hours ago
This is somehow controversial, but I firmly believe that all of them, Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Iran, everyone else, deserves an independent nation free of totalitarian dictators or religious fundamentalists.

To those who’ve down voted this,why if I may ask? Genuinely curious
Photonic@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
Because it’s short sided and ridiculous. Yes Russia bombs are bad, yes some NATO bombs are necessary but many are also bad, some Israeli bombs may have been necessary in the past but are now overwhelmingly bad.
This is dumb “tankie” talk that tries to push people into corners that are comfortable for the OP so that they don’t have to use their brain and think about whether people’s world views may be more complex and (eep!) sometimes more well-thought of than their own simplistic view of “NATO bad - Communism good”.
And lastly, as many posts on here, it simply reeks of anti-western propaganda.
Peehole@piefed.social 14 hours ago
But this is literally how western media and leaders are portraying this. All bombs are bad, NATO or Russia or China or Iran or Israel I don’t care. And fuck Israeli bombs in particular where and why would bombs by a colonial entity committing genocide ever be necessary wtf?

It’s a shitposting community. It’s irony.
With statements like this:some Israeli bombs may have been necessary
it seems that you are the deranged one.
Tja@programming.dev 14 hours ago
Russian bombs are bad not because of the flag, but because they consistently target civilians indiscriminately. Plus the whole invading a neighbor, murdering the people and stealing the land.
Say what you want about Bush, even that war criminal didn’t go as far.

Genuinely not defending Russia here, but Dubya’s pretext for invading Iraq and Afghanistan was if anything even flimsier than the “justification” for the Ukraine invasion.

Any point you might’ve had about land acquisition, separatism, or imperialism, is pretty hard invalidated by this comparison. Like, why add Bush as a qualifier?

You’re allowed to be antisemitic now as long as you use the word “zionist” instead of “jew”.
Nobody has ever used this one weird trick before ever, so it’s sure to trick everyone! Just remember to use the word “genocide” as many times as you can when someone calls you out for antisemitism. Bonus points if you say “Ackshually the
jewszionists are the nazis!” That’s super original and you automatically win every argument when you compare a group of people with the nazis.Then you can go about making conspiracy theories about the
jewszionists controlling the media, being the secret puppet masters of the world, etc. all you want!ayyy@sh.itjust.works 9 hours ago
I respect the Jewish faith, and think genocide is wrong and should be stopped.

Bad take.
- Antisemitism is not anti-zionism in any way. But I know that you already know that.
- Semites are literally Palestinian people, not Israelis.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 8 hours ago
“certain sector of people”
Hmmmm… which sector of people would that be? Oh I’m sure you believe there’s “some good ones” when you think about Jews.
Semites are literally Palestinian people, not Israelis.
So you don’t even recognize Jews exist now? You’ve erased the entire Jewish identity from your mind in your rationalizations of how you’re not antisemitic? That’s really disturbing.

In your mind: How many elementary schools can a nation bomb before we’re allowed to say that nation’s government is evil and should be eliminated?
Because Israel is constantly targeting and killing women and children, and you’re…ok with that? Please explain.

How many protesters can the Ayatollah execute before you’ll admit the Iranian government is evil and should be eliminated?
You’re arguing regime change is necessary when a government is evil. Iran’s government has killed tens of thousands of people in the last few months. So do you agree Iran’s regime is evil? How are you deciding which regime is evil and “should be eliminated”? Does it have anything to do with the predominate ethnicity of the countries being discussed?

SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 hours ago
I don’t know you tell me. Are the current efforts to zionist wash all of the old antisemitic tropes a joke? I’d think after a bunch of Jews got massacred in Australia y’all would realize antisemitism is real, it’s global, and maybe it’s not a joke.

Not a single person I have ever talked to defends Israel’s land grab while condemning Russia’s. NATO did some stupid shit now and then, but overwhelmingly, their only purpose is to promise to crush Russia if it ever tries a land grab on a NATO state.
Maybe you’re not a Chinese bot account, but you are isomorphic to a Chinese bot account.

I do have two real life zionist friends who condemn Russia while defending Israel. We’ve stopped discussig Israel after numerous painful hasbara sessions.
