And liberals and self proclaimed leftists will defend these neo liberals while shutting down brown people for feeling unsafe.
Shit I’m Israeli and this reminds me of home, 2 big fascist parties who control what’s considered a political possibility.
Anyone who tries to make others just look at the shit situation they’re in, voting between an evil, and the other, greater evil it uses as legitimization to it’s own existence, anyone who’ll try to make other look at the greater picture is considered a traitor.
As if legitimizing and empowering racists isn’t being a traitor to one’s own humanity.
Wish we had a space for letting out steam about this situation, instead of having to attract this kind of attention everywhere we go.

I don’t think there’s a way to make the community private to just members, but it could be set to local only. That might help but I’m not sure how much it would change, I think it’d still show up on the local feed on slrpnk.net. I just see it there, so I’m not sure how other people from other instances find it.
That said, from recent conversations I get the impression that at least some members want this to reach lots of people and scold/shame them, so this community might not be a good candidate for a dedicated ‘letting off steam’ spot. I do hope you’re able to find one.
For me it’s more about finding community, me being Israeli kinda means I’m alone, in thinking the way i do.
This makes for a creeping feeling of going insane, like I’m just “seeing things” and should keep to myself, this isn’t healthy, these kinds of posts, even when meaning to scold and agitate, make me feel like there’s someone to talk to.
Too bad they’re busy arguing tho lol
I think I can see that. It’s a deeply surreal feeling, when it seems like your whole society sincerely believes something you think is obviously wrong.
