Maybe, maybe not. Their post history doesn’t imply to me anything other than that they feel strongly about the subject. A glance through their post history doesn’t suggest otherwise to me, but I tend to give broad leeway for lengthier time periods.
Hi, thanks so much for your kind words. I’m working on finding a sweet spot between healthy skepticism and cynicism, kindness and gullibility. It’s tricky, and both cause unnecessary suffering, for all parties involved. While I’d prefer to be inerrant, that’s not very realistic, since I’m human. I’m learning, and that means mistakes. Thank you again for your kind words.
Humans are, inherently, messy. Plenty of terrible people have done good things, whether they meant to or not, whether their motive was good or not. Its just the reality.
Its why all we can do is try to be the best we can be, but we all have to look at how people act and make our best judgment.
I entirely missed their antisemitic comments in a wall of text with lots of other right wing propaganda mixed in, and someone else highlighted it.
Its these talking points, which are intended to confuse and misdirect people who do want better, that you also need to be aware of to accurately identify.
And it sucks.
Maybe one day things will be better. I hope so. Unfortunately, I don’t think it will while certain individuals/parties/leaders use all kinds of nefarious means to spread their hate.
Their wording could have been much better. I’m thinking “hasbara,” but their wording was awful. But again, some people don’t know what hasbara is. Yes, that’s stretching it, I really should go look at their post history in detail.
Blue maga, antifa as a violent organization, the “Hebrew school” comment, the claims of supporting genocide when trump definitely would go for more, etc, that’s all right wing talking points.
I’m not Jewish, but learned the dradel and a few words, so if I remember right hasbara is explaining-ish? by the state, kind of a propaganda approach. Which yes, what Israel is doing is terrible IMO. I showed my wife yesterday a picture of an area of been to that was a bombed out shell of nothing. The people in Beirut were incredibly nice to me when I went there for work some years back, and knowing some of the area that was bombed just adds to the horrors - and I barely visited.
That doesn’t excuse any of the other behavior, and the right wing talking points especially.
Its decentralized. A network of autonomous groups, so not as an organization. Because it isn’t one.
I can see it either way. It wasn’t the best word choice, but to me, the meaning was clear. It just seems like nitpicking, tbh.
The person being replied to earlier is specifically responding in bad faith, their intent is to paint antifa as a single org.
Maybe, maybe not. Their post history doesn’t imply to me anything other than that they feel strongly about the subject. A glance through their post history doesn’t suggest otherwise to me, but I tend to give broad leeway for lengthier time periods.
Considering the antisemitic comment, the blaming of antifa for actions where right wing instigators were found, the promotion of spoiler candidates…
I’m going to have to strongly disagree with your perspective. If they felt strongly about it, they’d know more about the third parties they reference.
But they dont. You can give them that leeway of course, but I’m not going to.
Edit: Other folks browsing, don’t down vote Maeve because they want to see the better of people. That’s generally a good thing.
