Like, yeah, if you define genocide denial as “denying genocides for which there is ample evidence, multiple decades after they have occurred” or some other stricter definition, you could wiggle him out of that charge. But who does such a definition serve?

Also, the notion that denying atrocities and genocides makes you an “unperson” or “persona non grata who will be dismissed out of hand forever” is ridiculous. Especially applied to Chomsky.

I know 13 olds who throw around the word "knitter" as a slur and think they're soooo smart as if nobody knows what they're doing. Then you have grown ass adults who throw around the word "Twink with a loose hole" and think they're sooo smart & that nobody knows what they're doing

Israel is a nation state. Palestinian resistance is not. Hope this helps, pest.

آرش جان تو طول عمرت موضعت بسیار تغییر کرده. به من می‌پریدی چون مخالف جمهوری اسلامی بودم در حالی که خودت حامی خاتمی بودی. خاتمی! قطعاً یادت نیست، چون ما سلبریتی نیستیم مث تو، ولی ما یادمونه.

angel 🔻🪂 Like, at the end of the day, which people groups you see as “annoying irrelevant troublemakers forcing unpopular notions of independence on people who are perfectly happy being part of the big and diverse nation” vs “legitimate national liberation struggle” seems arbitrary.

Melissa, please act civilized. Your outrageously racist bullshit makes you sound like uncultured swine.

Never let anyone disingenuously refer to infamously far-right establishment media like the NYT as left-wing." The establishment media has aggressively cheered for Trump and platformed nazis, don't let fash spin this as the opposite because media acknowledges a fact occasionally.

"We don't want the Shah, nor the Mullahs, power to the councils!"

Isn’t awesome that if your sister, who has masters in history, gets murdered, you have to pay the family of the murderer money for him to be punished, because women’s lives are considered worth half of that of men? Don’t worry though! Sometimes insurance covers it.

Feminist utopia, really. It’s actually super awesome that you can have a brother and a sister (both with PhDs in sociology), and the brother gets double the inheritance when their parents die. And their mom (a talented electrical engineer), gets almost nothing!

Speaking of which, it seems like female education levels are surpassing that of men in the US. Oh my god!!! Does that mean patriarchy no longer exists in America??? 😳 So excited for women who can’t have access to abortion to have PhDs🥹

My own mother is in Tehran right now. I have lived 23 years of my life in Iran and live in Exile because I’m queer. But of course it’s twitter so your ass can call me “mossad” and evade critical thinking because you’re little more than a drama YouTuber.

And their status of many trans people, if they don’t get access to medical transitions, which is MOST trans people, is that of “crossdressing” and “homosexuality”, which is punishable by fucking death. Literally fuck off.

Spousal veto is most relevant in places where divorce is not easy. In Iran, divorce is famously not easy. And you didn’t address the parental veto. Fuck off.

Dugout (Black anarchists): "under theocracy, Mosque or Church is an organ of state power." Calla Walsh (cracker yankee tankie): "u r islamophobe!" Arab anarchist: "Abolish Kafala" tankie: "u r islamophobe!" Indian anarchist: "Annihilate Caste" tankie: "u r hinduphobe!" etc

Honestly amazing the automatic throttling that this site does. This is the fucking New Republic, a notoriously center-right rag, with three RTs on here and thousands on other platforms.
