      What the hell? Somehow the idea of a super racist being all “yeah but them Palestinians deserve better” or something tickles me.

      I just don’t see how being pro-enslavement and anti-genocide is a compatible viewpoint.

          This is my belief as well.

          My mother fell deep into the qanon bullshit hole. I was very surprised to find her pro-Palestine, but realised that a big part is likely just antisemitism.

          It’s always just been lip service when it comes to her.

        Welllll, you can’t enslave people if they’re all dead, right?

          in pre-civil war full-tilt slavery USA, murdering enslaved people was considered a crime, not against humanity but against the slave owner’s “property.”

          so yeah pretty much

            Yep. Animals are also legally considered property, but at least they have some legal protection. Slaves had basically none.

          You sent this comment almost exactly one day after I posted it. I’m assuming you’re talking about this article?

          https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/10/20/israel-ceasefire-resume-airstrikes-gaza/86796955007/

          Tragic but much better than what we had before. At least some aid is allowed to trickle in now and much less violence is going on.

          But back to my point, if you ask some immigrants on their politics, even illegal immigrants, they’ll tell you that they’re staunch conservatives. I’m not saying all of them are, just that there are a shocking number of them. Anecdotally, I know of 3 undocumented individuals and 2/3 are conservatives who believe in building the border wall.

    Shouldn’t that be the Confederate flag and the Israeli flag? They’re actually on the same side and both support killing minorities and taking native land.

        You can surely just upload the picture to Lemmy? Then it’s immune to some corporation deciding not to host it any more five years from now.

          my instance limits media sizes

          edit: i regularly take steps to try to compress an image to a size that works. but have limited time, post from mobile, and this is the shitpost community i post to for fun in my free time. sometimes it doesn’t get done, sorry.
