maybe today, the day that an idolized leader of a labour rights movement got exposed as a rapist, we could remember that predatory behaviour is not limited to people we disagree with politically & characterizing sexual predation as unique or inherent to foreign conservative countries is stupid
So this fellow is followed by a bunch of people who I follow (including some rabbis). I would ask him what a “spiritually Israeli Zionist predator” is, and how that relates to relationships between American professors and their students, but I don’t think I want to know. So I just blocked.

also: the dynamics of American racism structured around skin colour & a white/Black dichotomy are so baked into US society that the only way many Americans can conceive of & denounce Israeli racism is by reframing it in ways that make no sense in the context of the actual oppression of Palestinians
This is such a good example of how antisemites will map whatever biases they have onto Jews, in this case somehow gluing together Christian supercessionism and gross class issues to perfidious Jewish Khazar theory

Add all this to the big list of things that was basically a staple of radicalism when I was a kid but is now widely recognized (correctly, imho) as deeply fucking reactionary.
This obituary makes it sound like he was criticized by polluters and jealous peers, not those who pointed out the links between the movement he sparked (ZPG) and eugenics, the very politics that have delivered us “mass deportations now” and untold border violence

Antisemitism is a plague in so many spaces and there’s no point denying it. Just because the pro-Israel world makes shit up in their cynical attempt to smear opposition to Israel it doesn’t mean that there aren’t also loads of people who use anti-Zionism to spread antisemitic bullshit. Both are true

Lot of it is about upholding power structures, yes, but it's also about how authoritarians of all stripes salivate over the idea of a phone number they can call to bring hell down on their personal enemies.

I’ve also written about how notable leftists, including Noam Chomsky and Michael Parenti, have gone great lengths to deny the Bosnian genocide, and how this act of denial creates an opportunity for future Tarrants to justify acts of white supremacist murder.

Alleged murder of Masood Masjoody by two known iranian monarchists as well as killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar by Hindutva/India-aligned Bishnoi network should be alarming to everyone.

this is very, very bad. the administration will use this guilty verdict to help “prove” there is a terrorist antifa cell, which they’ll use to build up their fictitious international antifa organization they’ll declare an FTO.
We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results.
This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.

Reading thru Platner discourse it's clear that many still can't imagine that a candidate on "our side" would be involved with any of "that".

Tomorrow is March 8, International Women's Day.
In 1910, Clara Zetkin proposed this event at an international women’s conference at Folkets Hus, headquarters of the Danish labor movement.
That building later became the historic autonomous social center Ungdomshuset.

Wow could think that a certain class of political professionals/pundits are very allergic to any criticism about the flawed undisciplined candidate they chose, because they got so much riding on him financially, professionally, etc.
