      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)

        fascism, genocide and ethnic cleansings are red lines and that fact that you only consider them to be purity signaling speaks volumes at how much to you really don’t care about your fellow human beings.

          This article is about a guy who was born into wealth that is using his money to help Palestine. Literally the second line in the article is:

          Chambers, an heir to the Cox Communications family fortune, has used his vast inheritance to fund pro-Palestine organizations for years.

          Can you explain what fascism, genocide and ethnic cleansings this guy has been involved in?

            the only real purity fetish involved here are liberals who are taught that “true” leftists must be come from the capitalist downtrodden classes to be truly pure.

            if you spent more than average effort to peek beyond the propaganda that misinforms you, you would instantly see that nearly all of them started out as members of the ruling class that betrayed the ruling class in the same way that leftists start out as liberals and can now understand how deeply propagandized liberals are as a result.

            we were once like you, but managed to turn off the tv, facebook, reddit, etc. and started reading for ourselves.

      I think they’re talking about the other right wingers that cosplay as the left in their political theatre.
