    Maybe instead of disavowing these people who are getting arrested for protesting Israel and ICE, the actual left should be organizing to help them and use their stories to create sympathy for the left?

    “First they came for the trust fund babies who were using their money to help victims of genocide, but I didn’t stand up because he wasn’t a socialist.”

      we are not usually the ones to denounce leftwards movement and organizing as “too tankie”. you will have to learn that lesson before you can complain about us not buying into cia talking points.

      but i digress, my country doesn’t do that counterproductive stuff (yet, i guess)

          my point is that they are manipulating the overton window to make even slightly left from fascism look like their evil communist caricature. plus normalize all of these crackdowns on anyone they dislike under the guise of protecting everyone from poorly-defined “leftists”.
