Pro Palestine but not pro enough to not squat on the land you stole from them.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 55 points 11 months ago

I don't think we should be shooting them quite so much, we should just sue them out of their homes and livelihoods

[-] Venus@hexbear.net 79 points 11 months ago

I'm very pro Palestine but it makes me angy that they don't want to be occupied ![angery](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/e639b50e-a115-48d7-af0b-1958b2397480.png "emoji angery")

[-] windowlicker@hexbear.net 75 points 11 months ago

pro-palestine

zionist

this has to be satire or a bit. if they really knew anything about either cause, they'd know that these are mutually exclusive and like polar opposites

[-] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 62 points 11 months ago

it's tumblr, so theres a good chance it's genuine

[-] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 39 points 11 months ago

No I believe there is the right combo of ![brainworms](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/99832a04-92c8-4765-9a52-aecd28086cef.png "emoji brainworms") to exist for this.

[-] Iraglassceiling@hexbear.net 64 points 11 months ago

I think spoonie culture is a little cringe but wtf are you doing appropriating the language of chronic illness to describe your entitled colonizer mindset? Fuck off.

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 61 points 11 months ago

It's literally not even like the context you use that shit in, you have like too few spoons to be able to wash up after dinner or shit like that, if you are spending spoons on literally just passive sympathy for a political struggle then you're operating in a new dimension of cutlery theory.

[-] Iraglassceiling@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

cutlery theory

I’m crying

I once had a Zionist on ![reddit-logo](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/4aac8007-876f-4c7f-936d-b7eabf506ef4.png "emoji reddit-logo") start using leftist terms and tell me I had no right to criticize anything Isntreal did from the imperial core.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Lol what, it's a military outpost of the imperial core and I'm a core dweller, I am well within my rights to criticize the horror I am forced to help subsidize.

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Seems like it was along the same vein as their PR push as Zionist vegans that are very progressive and cool and need to be protected from the Islamic hordes.

I think spoonie culture is a little cringe

Why?

[-] Iraglassceiling@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

I feel like when the idea was first introduced it was a helpful metaphor, but now it’s a weird token of victimhood? As a person active in the CI community when I meet someone who self identifies as a spoonie I roll my eyes and prepare to be exhausted.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago
[-] Iraglassceiling@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

Ok, what I’m talking about is people who engage in illness Olympics and endless one-upsmanship because their symptoms are their identity. I am allowed to be exhausted by people who belittle my experience as a chronically ill person with a multidimensional life.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

Can you explain how your experience is belittled? I don't understand that.

[-] Iraglassceiling@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

Person first language examples and why to use them

I understand that not everyone practices person first language, but I personally find it to be preferable to making my illness equivalent to my personhood.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

Ah, ok. Well I personally consider my autism central to who I am as a person, and wrapped up in every aspect of who I am. Its why I dont want a cure, because it would make me a fundamentally different person. A cure would be murder. So I don't like detaching autism from myself like that. But I see what you mean, I at least understand where you're coming from now.

I guess for me I see a difference between someone who "identifies as as spoonie" (which seems silly) and someone who uses spoon theory to describe their situation (which I think any disabled person can do).

Your experiences are valid and how you want to be referred to is valid, but a lot of autistic people prefer to be called autistic people because it is part of our personhood and even the idea that we are being too attached to it as part of our identities is silly. It’s literally how we operate as people. It is fundamental my neural topology.

I have never heard of anyone describe themselves as a “spoonie” but now that I have heard of it I give them all uncritical support and, this comment reeks of a Redditor assimilationist approach to neurodivergency. Your feelings around your own neurodivergency are your own and you have a right to them, but acting like people who are embracing lifestyles that are compatible with their brain are cringe or “annoying” is fucking infuriating. Don’t do that. Please.

Edit: I apologize for how rude that was. I am emotional and tired.

[-] WithoutFurtherRelay@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Spoon = unit of measurement used to describe amount of energy someone is capable of giving to a task
Spoonie = (I assumed) someone who uses spoons as terminology to describe how much energy they have

Pro-Palestine Zionist? Words don't mean anything, they're just fun little labels.

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 35 points 11 months ago

What's next, a pro-Jew Nazi?

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 37 points 11 months ago

Well we already have a pro-Nazi Jew in Zelensky so never say never.

Oh wow, they drop all pretense the moment anything real happens.

but have you considered how their struggle against my oppression might be tough for my mental health?

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 56 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

a tiny taste of the oppression Palestinians have faced for decades and she's ready to abandon support— because she never really supported them, she just wanted to personally excuse her complicity with Zionism by feeling bad about it

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 54 points 11 months ago

Coward.

A pro-Palestine Zionist

I'm a vegetarian polar bear.

[-] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 30 points 11 months ago

A vegan slaughterhouse owner.

[-] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago

It's vegan because we ask every creature for their permission to slaughter themthey never answer, of course, because animals can't talk, but we at least asked so it's vegan because i redefined what the word means

[-] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

An abolitionist slave owner.

[-] PapaEmeritusIII@hexbear.net 50 points 11 months ago

This is completely off-topic, but I’m still OOTL on why some screenshots these days have a filter applied to make them look underwater. What’s up with that?

[-] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 75 points 11 months ago

it's a tumblr thing to indicate disapproval of the post

tumblr pvp is very entertaining

Land back, from the river to the sea.

[-] Grimble@hexbear.net 37 points 11 months ago

I would love to scare the absolute fuck out of this person in public and see what they post about it.

[-] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 47 points 11 months ago

Why would you call the news begging for help?

[-] btbt@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

I have several bags in my car ready to flee

How about you go ahead and do it then

Do we know if this person isn’t a kid? Please tell me this is just some kid, but also please tell me it isn’t so I don’t feel bad about us bullying them.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago
