From my antifascist perspective, an Apartheid state killing children is what is truly absolutely unacceptable.
That´s an obvious attempt to derail from topic and a weird thing to compare a meme with but I fully agree with the statement itself.
If diverse sectors of that society are not OK with war, Apartheid and murdering civilians, it’s on them to mobilize to stop that
What are you organizing to stop the crimes of your government? Would you like to be held responsible for the crimes of your government and it´s military, even if you did not vote for them?
not on the rest of the world to refrain from criticism just because the human rights violations their state actually commits are similar to delusional bigoted tropes about their religion.
Of course not but that criticism should be smart and differentiated. If it´s too generalizing, like this one, it can easily come across as antisemitic.
Also, criticizing the actions of a State, even a religious one, is not hate speech.
Maybe there is a misunderstanding? I assumed the national flag represents not just the state of a nation but also all of it´s citizens?
Ok, I’ll correct that to ‘Israel as a nation casually murders children on a regular basis’ to be more accurate then.
Well, that is at least a start. Now could we agree to switch “Israel as a nation” with “The right-extremist government of Israel, it´s military and the ultra-nationalist settler movement” please?
Sus af though that you claimed that a meme criticizing Israel as a nation for killing kids was an attack against all Jews
A nation includes all of it´s citizens, so that is a weird argument that seems to have only one goal, to be a killer argument against any critique of antisemitic propaganda against Israel.
How is generalizing all citizens of Israel -who as we know are mainly Jewish people- as casual child murderers not classic antisemitism? Please include in your consideration, that the narrative of child sacrifice and blood libel is one of the oldest antisemitic tropes there is and put the meme in a context with that fact.
That is an antisemitic generalization. The government and military of a nation is only a subgroup of it´s society. How would you like to be held responsible for the actions of your government and military, even if you did not vote for them and don´t agree with what they are doing?
I know it´s just a meme so Im not really serious here but still, people presenting Starfleet as US american pisses me off every single time. Starfleet represents humanity, not just one nation but the whole planet because in the vision of Star Trek, humanity has developed beyond nations. The other thing that pisses me of every time is when Starfleet is presented primarily as earth´s military. Sure one of their many roles is defence but a mayor point of Star Trek is that human culture has developed beyond the barbaric habit of military expansionism. Instead they do quite the opposite and expand by politics, diplomacy, alliances, scientific/tech exchange and trade, with Starfleet being the driving force behind most of it. Please don´t belittle the vision of Star Trek like this.
Edit: downvotes by muricans in fact only illustrate my point, so thank you for your involuntary support, lol
Then please consider not using cannabis at all, my dude. There are theories that with certain individual predispositions, cannabis use can promote the outbreak of permanent, severe mental health issues, like paranoia and anxiety. Be save.
It´s common knowledge that there are people who get paranoid when smoking weed. It depends on individual predisposition. Luckily I am not one of those poor people :)
