dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

The problem here is that many leaders in the Middle East already see Palestine as a liability even if their population doesn't, and if Trump convinces Saudi Arabia to look the other way, which he very well might, there will be an influx of propaganda manufacturing consent throughout the Muslim world that will undercut any nascent revolutionary movements.

Just, No lmao, the Arab regimes have sent 75 years and tens of billions of dollars trying to demonize and vilify the Palestinian resistance and people and it HAS FAILED MISERABLY, there is no greater failure in the history of propaganda, Arab public opinion has never budged from the high 90% range in any country, in Morocco the CIA stooge par excellence, Palestinians could rely on free taxi rides wherever they went and that was at the height of normalization and that's certainly not changing now

Palestine is the heart of Arab political life, it is a solid neutron star that will never shift and never break, which is precisely why the regimes are so goddamn brutal and totalizing in their repression, but that will not last forever, the regimes are on borrowed time, the idea that Trump could do anything that could shift Arab public opinions is so ludicrous on it's face I'm now 100% convinced you have no clue what you're talking about

Like come on, Trump is not Morgoth, he's not gonna reshape the earth and put out all good in the world, give me a fuckin break with this weepy lib nonsense

World leaders may not even bother with the condemnations against the US were Trump in office, because they would not presume he and his base would have shame and perform giving a fuck

wtf-am-i-reading
