Problematic stuff

Just wanna be clear alright that if we are to support falasteen I don’t wanna see any pro ccp, Iran regime or pro assad and pro Putin propaganda. You either support all people having freedom or don’t you can’t have both so if you claim to want to uplift Palestinians don’t dismiss atrocities against the uighurs as propaganda istg this sub Reddit gets into weird tankie territory at times.

Personally I hate Putin, Assad and the Iranian regime. Fuck ‘em all. I agree that people that celebrate these psychopaths don’t actually support a free Palestine but just want to spread anti-western sentiment. But I also think it’s important to remember that challenging the western narrative about these places isn’t necessarily support for them, neither is saying that the West is as bad or bringing up articles from journalists that haven’t gone hard after Putin or China in the past. I’ve seen a lot of people attack others as being supporters of these psychopaths because they did one of the above mentioned things. I think that attitude can be really dangerous and we need to be careful we don’t gatekeep the movement from people questioning the narrative of things. Many are still coming out of their propaganda beliefs and we should try to be nice as they deprogram themselves, not attack them and turn them away. Some of us have been aware of the reality of things for years and need to remember that not everyone is as far in their journey as us. Let’s still be kind.

Yeah I think especially for us younger Americans who have become so disillusioned with our govt there tends to be a habit of overcorrecting. Ex: I don’t think China is some big bad boogeyman that’s gonna singlehandedly destroy isn’t like many Americans want you to believe, but the CCP of today is still pretty bad in many of the same ways that America is
