Telling a Palestinian they’re privileged because they don’t want a genocide against their people to spread to the diaspora too because a buncha white kids “I’M HELPING!”-ed a slate of fascists into power is definitely a fucking take.
So are you saying if Trump gets into power the genocide will spread to the Palestinian diaspora in the US too? I really think the actual thing which is actually happening deserves criticism right now. Talking about these theoretical outcomes if (theoretically) enough people vote for the fascist convicted felon does not take away from the current reality of what Biden is doing.
This is an argument for the voting booth. I agree with you there. But I think the point of the meme is that these conversations get bogged down in this shit immediately.
I don’t care that you’re Palestinian. Perhaps privileged was a bit much but this take is really just a misdirection, and it doesn’t help the Palestinians that are actually dying right now.
“Supporting genocide bad”
Leads to…
“Oh sweet summer child let me explain the broken American political system to you…”
