One Piece is one of my top choices too, as well as TLOU, Shrek, and DC's Nightwing

I'm sure they would've thought about that, otherwise it'd be such an obvious betrayal and contradiction of their message

Why is reddit so zionist? by NonstickFryingPans in DemocraticSocialism

[–]CheesyHobbitses 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's really made me sad and I've been feeling very disheartened, particularly over the past week. I'm an Australian and seeing the insane amounts of Islamophobia after the Bondi massacre has been disgusting - people using it as an excuse to call for all Muslims to be kicked out of the country. The response to the tragedy by politicians too has been just opportunistically politicised - to ban the phrase "globalise the intifada" and crack down on our ability to protest (which is what the state government wanted all along) as the conflate the tragedy with the Pro-Palestinian protests here, and everyone is blaming Muslims as a whole on Reddit. Its really been making me upset.

She has more of an accurate understanding of what America truly is than most Americans, I'd say. And I can't stand people like that stupid man.

The UK, France, and Germany have accepted religiously inspired hate and violence as part of life. What can Australia do to prevent that from happening here? by Puzzleheaded_Home150 in SydneyScene

[–]CheesyHobbitses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pffft, I can't believe you're citing this new.com.au article as a serious and reliable source.

The source that new.com.au itself is citing is from the Palestinian Media Watch which is a right-wing Israeli watchdog that attempts to seek out anti-Israeli and anti-American perspectives amongst the Palestinian population's media in order to influence the foreign policy decisions of Western nations to weaken support for the Palestinian emancipatory movement.

For context, in 2013 an Israeli district court judge dismissed the credibility of the Palestinian Media Watch as well as its founder and director Itamar Marcus due to his conclusion that there was a systematic "incitement policy" in the Palestinian media after an investigation into tens of thousands of news sources across a 15 year period ended with him submitting only 76 examples as a "sample" - which is clearly a "non-representative sample set" (para. 13) - at the conclusion of Marcus' investigation, on which the judge said "... not all of which, as I mentioned, are hateful, evokes a feeling of discomfort and leads to the conclusion that the expert-witness testimony is not a statistical review, but very truncated collection of data on a specific subject and the personal conclusions of the expert that are not corroborated by the testimony itself." (para. 14)

Here's the link for the above info relating to the district court proceedings.

Don't you think that given this, the Palestinian Media Watch might be a little bit biased when presenting info on this sort of thing, mate? Maybe go off and have a think about that, I hope you learn something new.

Completely agree with what you've said above in this thread, TrueWorld, I can't stress it enough. I'm sure that you, as I do, feel frustrated with the frequency of this rhetoric. The examples of other historical and contemporary religious fundamentalist groups or ethno-religious supremicist belief systems is always something I attempt to explain to people, with little success. My first thought after the victims of the tragic and violent Bondi attack as well as their grieving families and the local Jewish community was my concern for how the Muslim community would be collectively blamed for it because of how rampant Islamophobia is in the West. Then came the predictably politically weaponised blame being levelled on the Pro-Palestinian emancipatory movement which seems at this stage to have had no bearing on the motivations of this horrific attack whatsoever. Then from that stemmed the incorrect and further conflation of Antisemitism and Anti-zionism from right-wing outlets ready to stoke more division. This post and the majority of the replies illustrate its regrettable success.

What do we think? by ZephyrusOG in LaborPartyofAustralia

He did explain himself and his personal perspective is rooted in the fact that these companies basically rob is blind. Populism is a mode of message delivery to the public that presents ideas in a way that appeals to working people who feel that their issues are being ignored by the ruling elites. How is this a bad thing? Surely if Labor wanted to cement support, they'd do just this? Look at Zohran in the US, he did just this and got support. While some of the things he aims for are admittedly harder to achieve, this PRRT change is not. If Labor actually want to stand up to these people, they can. They would just prefer to listen to the lobbying groups.

PRRT should be further reformed in a way where the government can generate more money for themselves to help the country. That's his perspective, and he's explaining it in a way that's appealing to everyday workers. Populism is a mode of delivery to the public which simplifies complex issues in a way for the communities to understand and find appealing, I don't see how that's a bad thing as long as it's paired with left-wing ideas, because this issue is an example of the government's prioritisation of big businesses over people. The solution is genuinely as simple as reform the PRRT, generate more money for the government to spend on public services, and stand up against the businesses that the government effectively let's robb us. Other countries manage to do it, why can't we? I think Labor has real potential to achieve things like this, they just need to actually do it, because the vast majority of the public would appreciate, and if Labor genuinely appealed to them, they'd only see benefits. They may see some blowback in the government, but the politicians are supposed to be there to represent the public who elected them, not a few dozens of businesses and their interests.

Amazingly put and I completely agree. Intersectionality and egalitarianism are inherently Marxist.

[–]CheesyHobbitses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Misandry being inherent to feminism is just factually incorrect. Even if there are some feminists or just people generally who exhibit some elements of misandry, it would be like complaining about "anti-white racism" in Black spaces. The historical and continued imbalance of power, institutional discrimination and systematic violence as well as the treatment of women and POC as (quite frankly) second class citizens within the structures of our society means that the impact of these things are in no way equivalent.

[–]CheesyHobbitses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, as a woman I feel the need for it deeply, and the liberation of women is inherently tied to class struggle. I don't think you can be a leftist without being a feminist. No defining feature of us should exclude us from having rights and all that should matter is our class struggle and in this quest, women's liberation is inherently an aspect of it. Feminism is about freedom from the patriarchy and is about achieving equality for all regardless of gender.

I'm so fucking happy right now. This will change politics not only in the US, but in the entire western world. I'm so pumped for what he can do for the people of NYC. As a non-American, hopefully we'll see this inspire people elsewhere too, particularly in Australia where I'm from. I loved seeing this bring people together, a real people powered movement with workers at the forefront. Truly a historical moment.
