Exactly like when they accused MLK of anti-white sentiment , in the eyes of the privileged, equality is seen as persecution

[–] CyberGhost@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Is this an actual quote?

“ In the eyes of the privileged, equality is seen as persecution”

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

It has disputed origin but certainly not MLK, if that's what you're asking

[–] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

I paraphrased but yeah I've read that somewhere. Looked it up on the internet, turns out no one really knows where it's from

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you might be referring to MLK’s Letters from a Birmingham Jail against white moderates.

[–] CyberGhost@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you have the link of the source?

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Its a short work, only 5 or so pages. I believe the part I'm referring to is on the first page.

This is exactly what you get when you mix fascism with religion. Catofash in Poland are exactly the same. Usians, either evangelicals or civil religion worshippers too.

[–] CyberGhost@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What is a civil religion worshipper?

It's funny, because you could replace "Jews" with "Americans" in this, and it could be from a speech made by any US president in the past fifty years.

[–] supersolid_snake@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Exactly. Zionists think they are special... but they are really run of the mill white settlers. All their arguments were made starting with the Spaniards in the new world and really stalled out in Victorian era Europe. That's why it all looks familiar. It's been around for literally centuries.

opens post on white superiority in Vim

executes %s/white/Jew/g

gets this post

[–] comradeRichard@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Charlottesville, is that you?

Also... +10 for vim

[–] EuthanatosMurderhobo@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well...in case any zionists pass through - you're a really special ethnicity. It sure seems to me that you're in the number one spot for holding on to the barbaric ass "god chosen people" bullshit for the longest time in history. Otherwise, you're an average ass middle-eastern ethnicity.

Thank god you don't represent all Jews.

P.S. I'm gonna feel like that poor Vault Boy there for a straight hour now...

Stop it, the white Zionists are almost brought to climax by being referred to this way.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah, i was gonna say. arent most israelis from europe? the jews who originally lived in palestine went to persia mostly.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Europe (initially, due the Holocaust displacing them) and increasingly US/CA/AU (due to Birthright citizenship). When Ethiopian Jews went to Israel, they were sterilized, and only some of the Palestinian Jews wound up in the new settler colony despite their supposedly being the basis for the founding of the country in that location.

Silver medal in mental gymnastics right there

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I keep rereading this but it never makes sense. Is it missing text or a poor translation to English?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

It is very jarring how to the article starts off with typical liberal platitudes about diversity and working hard but in the last 3 paragraphs does a total 180 into "we are the master race" territory.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

It's Jewish theology. Like many old religions, it declares its followers (who were also a collection of ethnic groups) to be supernaturally superior to others, "G_d's chosen people," and so on.

[–] Effort0499@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty bold statement coming from the nation that genocided all native Americans.

[–] CyberGhost@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Israel is America’s little brother.

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Hey. I know what you are doing right here, and you intend no harm, but you might accidentally do anti-semite dogwhistle thingie, we already have issues with liberals and actual right wing extremists might get attracted to the 'grad because of this, don't continue it.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Is this in any manner not a Zionist making a ridiculous claim based on their theofascist ideology?

[–] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get it, we have israel-cool instead of nato-cool or any of the others for that reason.

That said the OP is entirely unambiguous.

personal experience, you'll get people posting the anti semitic drawing in no time if he continues posting anything about Jews
