It’s also not ok to splinter the coalition with purity tests. If someone is pro democracy, pro LGBTQ, pro women’s rights, pro science, pro immigration, pro education, pro Ukraine, and pro Israel, I still want them in the fight.
Fine. If you don’t want to be splintered, move the fuck left. Simple!
My guy they’re literally funding an active genocide. At what point does “lesser evilism” go too far for you?
You can’t be a feminist and support Israel.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read
As someone who grew up where it is absolutely normal to support Palestine and has been for 40 years (Ireland), women’s rights are not on the list of why this is the case.
Feminism is way more then just “women’s rights.”
Sure. There are many other things, all balanced on a solid foundation of women having rights.
But not palestinian women right?
Palestinian women are exactly who we’re talking about. I don’t have any concern for Israeli women’s rights at the moment.
To repeat, I support Palestine, but women’s rights is not a factor in that decision.
You absolutely can…there are a LOT of people that are supporting Israel because that’s the de facto American position. They aren’t chronically doom scrolling…if they are its from an algorithm that was designed to validate every pre-existing belief they’ve held. If they heard you say remember Aaron Bushnell, they’ll probably assume it was another POC shot in back by a cop. Being a low information voter in an environment designed to make you so isn’t a moral failing, and if you just write those people off, you’ll never grow your coalition.
Disagree tbh. It’s only acceptable if you don’t vote. If you’re actively voting without understanding what you’re voting for, that in itself is wrong and you’re also much more likely to vote for something immoral.
America isn’t feminist, at all so if anything, you should be giving the side-eye to anything America is doing if you call yourself a feminist. I’m not “writing these people off,” I’m challenging them. Saying “I’m a feminist” without understanding what that means, isn’t useful to anyone except rainbow capitalism, and whoever the next neo-liberal woman ghoul to run for president is. If you are a feminist, and someone says you can’t be a feminist and support israel, you should do some introspection.
Feminism is liberal as shit, that’s why you see stuff like trans exclusion types who are little more than polite nazis in both words and actions.
2nd wave feminism is that yes, but proper feminism leads one to the contradictions of capitalism.
