I absolutely and unequivocally side with Palestine (half of my family is Palestinian) and Ukraine.
It’s jokes. It’s a shitposting group. I shitposted.
I do not stand with Russia or Israel. Both of those regimes go against everything that means basically anything to me. They are evil, along with the USA, which I live in unfortunately.
I’m glad I’m finally seeing someone else that’s actually both pro-palestine AND pro-ukraine for once. It’s usually mutually exclusive — I don’t understand why. Literally every single pro-palestine person I’ve seen otherwise has been pretty vocally anti-Ukraine.
That’s mostly the internet though. If I talk to my friends and almost all my colleagues, they overwhelmingly and strongly hold these two views.
For instance, at the lunch table at work (about 8 ppl there, somewhere in Europe, during a discussion about Trump) I uttered the phrase “I think we need to start viewing the US as an enemy state under the current administration”, fully expecting to set off a fierce discussion. Instead everyone was like, “yup, sounds about right” and carried on with their lunch.
Point is: talk to people outside the internet and they may surprise you.
I do realise that I’m inside a different kind of social bubble and that not everyone is like that, and I’m sorry to hear that yours doesn’t align with your views. But they are out there!
Yeah I think it’s due to Russian influence on social media. Hamas were used by Russia to weaken a key US Ally. So Russia has always pushed pro palestinian talking points which makes them Saints in some people’s eyes.
Fuck Russia and fuck Israel.
May fascists die a painfull death everywhere.

WTF
Everyday I see tankie posts and it’s often the same scam: “america bad” (okay) “hence russia and china good”
Your post could be interpreted as such, especially on Lemmy

I’m glad it’s better over there, because in my [limited] friend group and family, nobody is pro-ukraine.

People in asia seem to have an infatuation with Russia even before the palestine issue became prominent. It’s sickening.
The only good thing about it I see is that it’s a necessary counter-balance against the US and its imperialism, perhaps.
Yes, I suppose it’s better than them uniting against the democratic world.
