And how do you know what vantage point everyone is protesting from? Did you go to the protests? Or are you just reacting to some rage bait generated for social media consumption and by provocateurs? I mean you're a smart guy I'm sure you are familiar with psyops and cointelpro. Like seriously it's so easy to flip any switch for you guys to just dive right back into this same nonsensical culture war bullshit you espouse all day. They could be protesting war, tenants rights, workers rights, anything etc. and you would find some way to paint any legitimate protest as some left wing Boogeyman. In fact I haven't seen a single protest or demonstration that YOU aka YOU and every other nominally or actively right wing person hasn't gotten mad about in the last ten years. It's actually goofy at this point.
Underlined: You accuse me of making an assumption about these people, and then go right to making one yourself about who I am and what I think. That's not in good faith really is it. I don't see myself as right wing, or left actually. It's all phoney categorization to help create an ineffectual Punch and Judy show. The second underlined part is just not true either - and you want to talk psy-ops.. let's talk about why the anti-covid policy protests of 2020 were cracked down with
actual police brutality, as in actually cracking skulls and setting dogs on protestors (see European protests photos) but then followed immediately by softly-softly policing for the Floyd bullshit and BLM literally the next week!
There's brutality going on all over the world, and I don't remember seeing any of these people complaining about that. Particularly when it was Islamic fundamentalists engaging in genocide, even against other Muslims. But a bunch of Palestinian fanatics kill, butcher, and rape, 1000+ Israeli's, which is itself an act of genocide, and all of a sudden there's tears when Israel then decides to not tolerate 'fuck about and find out'? Get the fuck out with that bullshit.
Like you want to talk about 'flipping a switch'. There is no greater switch flipper than Israel/Palestine. It makes complete mugs out of so many Western people who think they have to side with Palestine because Israel represents the colonial aspirations of their own state patriarchy or something, so by default they have to pick the opposing side, regardless of the flaws of that other side. Especially in the younger demographic, who simply don't understand the complexity of the history or context. I know, because I once thought the same way they do at that age.
Also, you don't need psyops and cointelpro to explain the protests in the UK, rather a completely lax immigration policy over several decades that has allowed a hostile Islamic contingent to accumulate momentum, who are truly more self-interested and self-serving than they pretend not to be. Utilizing Palestine as a wedge to legitimize their assertions over our tolerant culture. It's transparent as fuck.
Be real. The majority of these people protesting do not give a flying fuck about the hostages or the savagery that initiated the Israeli response. Behind closed doors, and sometimes openly, many of the Muslim contingent will freely admit things on a scale that range from abhorrent all the way to celebrating designated terrorist groups.
Again, if the young white liberal protestors were expressly targeting the
American aspects of this context, such as the weapon manufacturers, then I
would be fully in support. Even if I didn't agree with their position (in this case I would, because I don't believe the
world needs more weaponry). But the protests in the UK and USA are not coordinated in that vain, they are not expressed in that vain. It's 'Free Palestine'.. not ' Make Peace'. What do you think 'free Palestine' actually means to these people..
