antisemitic gasoline
I wonder if that costs more or less than premium?
if you’re a public figure and you haven’t gotten called out by “israeli” state twitter, rethink your life choices
Ugh. But I’m not even on Twitter. If it happened elsewhere, am I still good?
The “it must be all good or all bad” mentality is reductionist. Some elements will be good, some will be bad. Call out as appropriate rather than ignoring whichever side doesn’t fit the narrative.
Zohran Mamdani is a land of contrasts
I wish I could say I’m surprised, but It’s by design. People are conditioned to keep fighting each other over scraps, instead of building something together.
I think it comes down to there being two idealized camps in Western socialism. There’s the ones that want to see grassroots activism as snowballing to political office which snowballs to an even greater mass socialist movement. So they see any criticism of someone going through that path, even if valid and in good faith, as threatening to break the snowball.
Then there’s the camp that sees any socialist movement in the West that becomes visible or has friction when the rubber hits the road as tainted. This is often paired with a lionizing of AES countries outside of the imperial core. So they get hung up on optics and tertiary issues.
The core problem imo is that the perspective of “is socialist figure X good/pure or not?” isn’t the productive way of thinking about things, it should be “how can the socialist movement leverage figure X?”
it should be “how can the socialist movement leverage figure X?”
Honestly. A centrist Demsoc is nothing to be too excited for, but by the standards this country’s always dealt with, it’s good to see some legitimate progress.
Take the wins where we can, openly and vocally critique as necessary, and use him as a springboard for a real leftist movement.
This isn’t specifically about Mamdani, but not necessarily. It’s often used as a way to shut people up. Like when that lawmaker tried to raise the min wage to $12/hr and tie it to inflation. Yes, it’s better, but not enough, and just used to shut people up. Bernie was the safe option, and what people would’ve settled for. People barely protested Obama, even though he was the Deporter-in-Chief, increased drone strike like a 1000% compared to Bush, kicked five million people out of their homes, his administration was hand picked by bankers, and bankers got a hefty bonus for wrecking the world economy and kicking people out of their homes.
Yeah that’s true too. People get complacent when it seems like it’s just enough for them, and not look at the bigger picture.
At this point you can probably campaign specifically on “I will scrap the IHRA definition of antisemitism” and successfully rope in both leftist and right wing votes for completely different reasons.
100%, and Israel officially malding over it amplifies that by a lot lol
I’m still skeptical but cautiously optimistic
I’ve never seen a democratic politician do this, the standard operating procedure for the party was to ignore any scandal of the previous administration and just continue on as if nothing happened so this is interesting
This isn’t nearly enough but it’s a better start than I was expecting especially on day 1
At the same time, seeing how easy it is to do this immediately on day 1 just stokes the ever burning embers of anger, betrayal (I know they were never on my side now but emotions don’t always follow logic, nor should they) and straight up hatred I have for the rest of the party to burn hotter than ever

These fucking murderous losers wrote their outrage tweet with ChatGPT
the chatgpt dialect goes crazy
It has the random comma that isn’t really needed, Followed by a pointless statement that adds nothing, hiding the actual information behind a colon: (He changed a law)
Followed by the classic, It’s not X, it’s Y that they ALL fucking love doing for some reason.
At least AI is worse at using weasel words than your average human reporter? It just kind of throws in one of maybe 3-4 cliches that it always uses, no relevance to the subject at all.
I cant read another “it’s not X, it’s Y” sentence ever again without immediately assuming it was written with AI
It’s not cynicism. It’s pragmatism.
There is an unexpected side effect of AI written content, that is to say: It makes me hyper vigilant about my own writing skills, concerned that they sound like AI
But it isn’t just AI alone that makes it bad, it’s just bad writing in general.
Is there a tweet of this before it got translated? Probably something along the lines of “WIR MÜSSEN DIE ARABS AUSROTTEN!”
Fuckingdieandeatshitanyahu the goat of baby genociding visiting a synagogue and being cheered on is antisemtism gasoline.
He scrapped almost all executive orders from the pass 1.5 years. Probably a few gems in there
It literally gives me a migraine how people equate criticism of a government with racism, and think they aren’t themselves the racists.
A pleasant surprise
😔
iirc he didnt specifically do this he just revoked all of eric adams orders, which include those
all of adams’ post-indictment orders.
