    I get that laughing at white boys is funny and I don't really give a shit about the oppression of straight white dudes but I've always kind of hated this rhetoric because this is exactly what happens, libs and neocons will always cynically appropriate this kind of language to try to shut down conversation about the most marginalized and oppressed.

    And if the affluent white libs I know are anything to go by, it fucking works.

      I've definitely been told "shut up white boy" from a white person while voicing support for I think MAS during the coup.

      AND

      AND

      They will just use it on women of color, they don't give a shit. Remember how the Bernie campaign, literally the least white and least male campaign in the Dem primary, was repeatedly, endlessly smeared as "white male brocialists"

      Yeah, it doesn't have to be oppression for it to be cringe

    AHH yes, the black South Africans that refused to load an Israeli ship, definitely white boys. Imagine trying so hard to own someone for being ignorant and Eurocentric that you end up being Eurocentric and ignorant yourself. Wouldn't be the first time Zionists were racist, they helped develop nuclear weapons with apartheid South Africa

    You know what they say, 90% of twitter is white people accusing each other of being white.

    Repeating neocon talking points word for word, with the addition that "mayo boys" believe the opposite to give yourself credibility

      Also ignores all the POC that have lived under apartheid regimes rightfully calling out Israel for being an apartheid state. So the post ends up being exactly what she's trying to make fun of: an ignorant person elevating their own voice over other marginalised groups.

        Love it when white women, the number 2 demographic on the world totem pole, pretend their genocide advocacy is a dunk on white men

      Well didn’t you know that you actually can’t advocate for good things otherwise they become bad things?

      Once again, they want it both ways. It is woke to support Israel, but those damn wokes are supporting Palestine, so that proves woke is bad.

    my favorite liberal meme is when they say something arguably true but are too brainwashed to make an argument against it

    "tHe sQuAd aRe cIa iMpErIaLiStS"

      She's got a point, posting isn't praxis, but also zionists fuck off

          I genuinely disagree, but I'm casting rocks from a glass house here. I just think it's nearly impossible as grassroots posters to drown out the wave of fuck from powerful state/private entities that employ actual online armies to ensure that your opinion is hidden or non-discussed. I've been talking shit about Bill Gates forever but it's never made a dent because the guy pays so much money to make sure that you can only either think he's god on earth or you come across as a Q anon freak. Still cathartic to talk shit tho

    How did we not see that Chet Hanks was actually talking about the public opinion turning against Israel?
