I feel like if arms dealers aren't an acceptable target you've kind of backed yourself into a corner as per acceptable targets of protest

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 89 points 1 week ago

I recently got kicked from a group for screaming at engineers who worked at arms manufacturers. After I got kicked someone (who had been telling me to stfu) said that they actually agreed with me but disagreed with the rudeness and the 'harassment' (sending one of the ghouls the video of the Pal Action comrades sabotaging a clean room and saying I hoped this happened to their place of work).

Point is, never underestimate the lengths liberals will go to make sure their beliefs don't change anything.

Liberals are, above all, motivated by decorum

The “etiquette” is another chain which is used to constrain, control and oppress others.

I keep coming back to this quote, emphasis mine:

The question of “free press” and “free speech” is not separable from the question of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie versus the dictatorship of the proletariat. The idea of “political plurality” as such turns out to be the negation of the possibility of achieving any kind of truth in the realm of politics, it reduces all historical and value claims to the rank of mere opinion. And of course, so long as someone’s political convictions are mere opinion, they won’t rise to defend them. And so the liberal state remains the dictatorial organ of the bourgeoisie, with roads being built or legislation being passed only as commanded by the interests of capital, completely disregarding the interests of workers. Under regimes where political plurality is falsely upheld as a supreme virtue, the very notion of asserting oneself as possessing a truth appears aggressive and “authoritarian.”

I sadly have to agree with them here. Pro-Palestine protesters shouldn't attend an event like this to do a nonviolent protest. I disagree with targetting attendees and dealers with slogans.

This is a face value comment.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 60 points 1 week ago

Imagine being so nato brained you think everyone loves and sympathizes with smol bean arms dealers lmao.

"Won't someone think about the death merchants!? Why would anyone oppose some innocent person enriching themselves off the pain, suffering, and death of untold numbers of people? Let people enjoy ~~things~~ weapons systems, they aren't doing anything wrong!"

Won't somebody please think of those poor gun runners? - libbing-out

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago

They should be targeting attendees at a weapons expo with firearms, this genocidaire should consider himself lucky.

Especially if the marketed arms are turned on the attendees...

Of course, such situation will never happen in minecraft

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago

If you were going to make this argument in a way that was at all persuasive it would be something like

Pro-Palestinian protesters are the absolute worst, they're now targeting [people that have nothing to do with and no control over the powers involved]

Even that would be putting the comfort of randos as a more important thing than literal genocide. But this... I mean, what the hell. Does this person not see the direct link here? Do they see weapons manufacture as just some inevitable reality disconnected from all context? The thumbnail of the video even has an Israeli booth front and center! What is this?

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago

I have to imagine that people who go to these things already hate Palestinians and the people who support them

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

OP isn't even hiding that fact. "hate your cause even more" makes it clear

I always wonder if these people realize they woukd have vocally opposed the civil rights movement.

This is the exact argument made against MLK.

If you want to win people over to your side it's vital that you ensure they can completely ignore you and your message without consequence.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

They targetted gamers, GAMERS.

Keep that scratched liberal concern troll talking and I guarantee there'd be a "who hurt you?" in there. smuglord

[-] frauddogg@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Or an allegation that their interlocutor is either on drugs or on the take from HaMaS aNd HeZbOlLaH the same way anyone who turned their back on supporting Ukronazis got slandered as vatniks.

[-] frauddogg@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

The protestors should start doxxing both the arms dealers and the OSINTers bearing their water. It'd be peak irony.
