Modpost We need to have a chat about ableism and body shaming

448 Upvotes

With the recent increasing mobilisation of reactionaries on the streets we've seen an increase in videos of said reactionaries being posted to the subreddit. Every time videos like these are posted here there is a flood of comments attacking the person's appearance, teeth, haircut, claiming they're "on the spectrum", and even use of the r-slur which has apparently come back into fashion in recent years.

As socialists we stand with the disabled. We stand against body shaming. We stand against the othering of people based on appearance or innate characteristics.

This is a behaviour that many of you have learned from participation in liberal subreddits, where they have no principles and are perfectly fine with claiming to be pro-lgbt while simultaneously calling Trump gay and cackling about it every opportunity they get.

Consider the fact that many of the people you attack in this way are exactly the people who we are trying to help. If a 20 year old trans woman walks down the wrong street in this country without passing she experiences exactly the same attacks you're throwing at these videos. If a socially ostracised guy with an appearance that deviates from "normal" in this country finds this subreddit, is sympathetic to socialist views, but then sees you making exactly the same attacks against the fascists as the fascists use against him, do you think they'll turn to the left as a place for help? If the marginalised in this country come to our community and find people who are just replicating right wing culture they're not going to feel comfortable and they're not going to trust us. That's a fucking failure on the part of everyone who contributes to this culture.

We will be cracking down on this more from here on out.

Attack the fascists for their actions. Not for their appearance.

Free Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ The Guardian has published an opinion article by Dave Rich which accuses anyone who says Israel deliberately kills children is engaging in blood libel. Rich claims that the targeted killing of Palestinian children in Gaza is just a consequence of a โ€œtragic and unbearable conflictโ€.

Free Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed that Palestinians "are not worthy of life. They shouldn't live. They're not even people" - He remains to this day the Israeli Minister of National Security and Netanyahu has never condemned the remarks. Are these the actions and beliefs of a "civilised state"?

Graphic Imagery Horrific, shocking yet sadly unsurprising scenes from Germany as the police there, who only know violence and repression, brutally assault an elderly person after leaving them bloodied on the ground. All for the crime of protesting Germany's continued involvement in genocide and ethnic cleansing. NSFW

The UK gov accepted all recommendations from its IHRA-based antisemitism report about schools. Yet the report provides almost no breakdown of what the alleged antisemitism actually involved, while citing stuff like "Free Palestine" among examples of antisemitic abuse.

As a Muslim, I should be angry at the Islamophobia, but as a Welsh Republican, itโ€™s a fine insult at the crownโ€ฆ my heart canโ€™t stand being pulled in opposite directions!

The royal family presided over one of the most brutal empires in history: Charles knowing a Hadith of the Prophet (PBUH) doesnโ€™t erase the crownโ€™s (as an institution) role in massacring and enslaving millions of Muslims and non-Muslims; peoples of many faiths and ethnicities across Africa and Asia.

P.s. know thereโ€™s a specific flair for the king, but Iโ€™d love an โ€˜accidentally left-wingโ€™ flair.

Edit: I forgot to mention this, but I must note that I absolutely condemn all forms of ageism. I agreed with the anti-royal sentiment only.

It is not a safe place anymore for people to have a decent life, a family, a future and dignity when a country treats its people like this.

Every year in late September, active-duty service members and veterans of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine, together with the loved ones of our fallen brothers- and sisters-in-arms, gather to pay tribute to those who gave their lives for their homeland. As long as we remember them, they hold the line alongside us! "

" Day of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army

The extremely difficult conditions of the mid-20th century. One occupation gives way to another, and Ukraine is caught between two fires, with no resources and no right to international subjectivity.

But in the flames of war, a force arises that refuses to submit to circumstances. Veterans, young idealists, and ordinary Ukrainians who are ready to take up arms and restore independence.

Years of struggle against several superior armies, hundreds of thousands of fighters in its ranks, daring operations, and the hatred of its enemies. The Ukrainian Insurgent Army remains a model of the struggle for Ukraine for all generations to come. "

Another party has set out on the road... The route is not an easy one โ€” one does not simply infiltrate the battle lines of the First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine.

Russian assault troops must have seen this trek as an important part of a great story.

But even if they imagine themselves hobbits, the final frames of this film will be shot according to a script written by the pilots of the 41st Unmanned Systems Regiment Pilum! "
