Have these centrists friends. They are actually pretty chill, give me a place to stay. But they’re your typical Bill Maher Libs in a lot of ways

Anyway, some months ago I complained about their views on Israel, drunkenly called them unintentionally racist to a mutual friend, they found out and hated on me for a while.

So anyway, I’ve been spending time with them, and they legitimately hate Israel now. It’s come up enough times that I can tell they legitimately hate them for being right wing.

Is there something happening in the Lib media bubble, or did they just actually realize Israel sucks? I know this is some nerd shit but it bothers me I can’t wrap my head around it.

    I dunno, I’ve seen the liberals become exceedingly more bloodthirsty and barbaric in their rhetoric as the genocide progresses. They all also suddenly want to drink industrial quantities of Starbucks and buy shit from Zara.

    They are indistinguishable from the Nazis during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, or the Apartheid police especially in the 1970s-80s. Only difference is they themselves lack firearms or pipebombs.

      Yeah it’s not like that at all here, which is why I want to give them credit. They basically consider Israel a trumpy racist shithole

        Have you talked to them about their obvious 180? Usually people brush aside their change in opinion if it was just handed down to them, so I doubt you will get any fruitful answers. But it might be at least funny to point this out to them. And report back here with the results lenin-laugh

          As libs are incapable of ever being wrong, if they were wrong in the past then it’s history that has to change. Therefore, none of them will remember ever having been wrong.

            memory? consistency? the most important thing is that I maintain to myself the illusion that I’m a good person and my privilege is deserved
