Hang on hang on hang on. Is this cartoonist saying that lgbt people ought to want extermination of people who don't support us (just taking at face their stance that there are no lgbt supporters in Palestine)?

Isn't this like... what they're terrified of?

Conservatives neither understand solidarity nor critical support, thus they think we're hypocrites for it. The only time queer people get any semblance of support from right wingers is when they want to bludgeon another group with it.

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 6 months ago

Obviously you should only want good things for somebody if you personally would immediately materially gain from it. I think that's fairly obvious, when I was taking my niece to the park yesterday another kid wanted the swing so I was like "little one, I think that kid wants a go. You should charge a small fee to vacate the swing".

They're saying that Palestinians are dirty Muslims who hate queer people so it's okay to genocide them.

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Right yeah but they're saying queer people should want that because (in the cartoonists mind) Palestinian people would want us dead.

But the sort of people who are the audience of this want us dead too, so is the cartoonist saying we should be trying to kill them? That just seems intense.

This meme gives me shitlib vibes, which is slightly different than conservative. Shitlibs will at least pretend they won't throw us under the bus the second Republicans offer them treats.

I checked and I think I'd have to be from the usa to understand whatever the fuck this is.

I think far right?

There's.... A lot of crossover...

[–] AutomatedPossum@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That guy also thinks antisemitism is a plot by the elders of Zion, i wouldn't call that shitlib-fash crossover.

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

it's lib shit, the 'swamps are good and we're sorry for being mean to them' paragraph is a dead giveaway

the american fascist will basically never worry about the delicacy or appropriateness of their language and they definitely won't worry about hurting the feelings of an ecosystem

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Nah, you look at the memes page, and there's 2 different ones saying hate speech is free speech, one attacking democracy, and one attacking "woke progressives".

Also holy shit a cartoon saying that DEI is reverse segregation, and another saying DEI is responsible for Boeing

[–] YEAHBUDDY@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

Its better to be dead than a colonizer or a descendant of one.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

They know they don't have to be consistent

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

On its face this person cannot conceptualize simply being against genocide. It should be simple enough to be like "Look, these people aren't It*lians, we can share the Earth with them."

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's both. They believe we ought to want the extermination of people who don’t support us and they also believe we're stupid because we clearly don't want the extermination of people who don't support us. As far as they're concerned we are their natural enemies and too stupid to realize it, and so they're mocking us for not killing them.

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 months ago

I suppose there's a consistent logic to it in the mind of one of those "just saying the hard truths, being realistic" cookers.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago

Classic concern trolling

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

I know it's rhetorical but yeah. They (not so) secretly want to kill LGBTQ, or at least view them as inferior. It's just another indicator of weakness, to them, that LGBTQ protestors and allies don't abuse their position in the West to demand reigning death on people living in places the West has previously done nothing but reign death upon or destabilize, while fostering the least palatable organized resistance they could find. Still couldn't manage to find anyone worse than themselves though.
