Colorism still existed and exists in Portugal. I’ll grant that this is a more fluid system of discrimination than white supremacy which seems to make integration easier due to having less rigid sociopolitical structures, but it’s still present!
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

I do not believe fascism can function without ethnic hatred. Nationalism within imperialist countries always takes on a racial character, and it has to, because otherwise cross racial solidarity destabilizes the oppressive apparatus.
History books do mention the Germans that were opposed to the Holocaust.
Mexico, being a US neighbor, is probably basing some of this decision off of the shit show happening across the border. I suppose that does bias their decision making.
I guess we’ll see how it works out, since this looks like a done deal.
That serves Zionism. Making other countries less safe for Jews means they’re more likely to flee to Israel. It’s a feedback loop.
Must Jews be constantly disavowing every new horrible thing Zionists lie about? It’s not as if there aren’t Jews condemning Zionism more broadly.
Jewish Voice for Peace, IfNotNow, the many Jewish members of the different Students for Justice in Palestine groups, quite a few of the Uncommitted delegates were Jewish, need I go on?
The fact that you don’t believe there are Jews opposed to genocide is, in fact, the result of an antisemitic media campaign to smear all Jews as pro-Israel.
It’s not being covered.
Jewish Voice For Peace and IfNotNow are two Jewish lead orgs that come to mind. There are many Jews saying “not in our name” and they’re ignored because it contradicts the narrative.
History will remember the people who stood up against this genocide. It always does.
Yes, Zionism and antisemitism are actually complementary ideologies. The most antisemitic people love having a place to send their Jews to, and Zionism turns a minority group into nationalist racists.
Let’s not contribute to that.
Fuck off with that kind of language. Israel does not represent Jews and its actions are all too human. Inhumane, for sure, but humans can be quite sadistic and cruel when enthralled by fascist ideology.
But Jews around the world reject Israel’s actions. That’s what history will remember.
accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel’s efforts on climate action.
Israel’s genocide campaign has been horrible for the environment 🙄
See, what I do is intentionally sleep six hours and then, before work, have a 90 minute siesta. Seems to be working out well 👍

Okay, and I’m responding to how a bad system actually works in the real world in my country. The lack of democratic input and oversight of the Judiciary in the US is the problem. US judges have always been bad because they were either appointed to undermine democracy or elected by undemocratic means. The problem has never been democracy.
But by that logic there’s no reason to ask millions of unqualified people to pick an expert and professional legislator.
You’re creating an arbitrary professional difference between creation of legislation and interpretation of legislation, but that’s ideological. When it comes down to it, by your logic, legislators should be chosen by an unbiased selection committee. That’s where your antidemocratic logic leads.
The problem with elected judges is undemocratic elections. Democracy fixes the problem.
The problematic politics of elected judges in the US come from its fucked electoral system. US elections, for most of its history, were undemocratic at their core… and they still aren’t very democratic tbh
But the worst judges, today, are appointed.
Your conception of politics being only partisan is very narrow; partisanship in liberal democracy is mostly just kayfabe.
The concept of representation is political - and anti-representation would also be political. You can’t escape politics in law.
Where there’s power, there’s politics.
And the worst parts of the American system are the parts where judges are unelected, so that’s a pretty bad example lol
Israel is a terrorist state.
