      Your voices? Your money? Your attention?

      Please consider those before you start going apeshit, thanks.

        This isn’t apeshit… Apeshit is wanton destruction. This is a calculated protest using red paint and thought-out messaging.

        Also, why do we care about defacing a building when the same action has meaningfully called attention to complicit US media? NYC is cleanable; dead children in Gaza are non-recoverable.

          The pearl-clutching over some relatively minor vandalism in response to the mass murder of tens of thousands of civilians is really out of touch.

          Since people seem so fucking concerned about property damage, maybe we need to start discussing the “vandalism” of all the homes and other buildings in Gaza. Actually, I’m not even sure I would be comfortable doing that ironically as it would feel very disrespectful to the human victims.

            i think all the anti-vandalism advocates should personally pay reparations to Palestinians so they can rebuild everything the Israelis vandalized

        My suggestion since early 2024 has been to birthstrike: no more births in the U.S. and other complicit western nations until the children of Gaza are safe and Israel has been held accountable for their heinous acts.

        This is especially relevant because younger people are the ones who are: most angry about this, the most politically disenfranchised, most applicable to a birthstrike due to biology.

        People shit on me and my 100% legal, non-violent / non-destructive recommendation. To the point where I’ve had posts and comments removed and even faced bans. So I’ve simply stopped recommending it.

            Eugenics is something that is imposed, not self-selected.

            I don’t generally see the “quiverfull” people, or governments all over the world encouraging their people to have more kids (including financial incentives), getting labeled as eugenics.

              imposed vs self-selected is a false dichotomy. if you ask a random tradwife whether she chose her lifestyle she’ll emphatically reply yes. had she not been raised in a patriarchal cult, most likely not.

              you’re not following the right people if you don’t see it. creating a white ethno state by turning women into incubators is textbook eugenics. so is antinatalism because it promotes toxic individualism and blames societal problems on individual choices.

                so is antinatalism

                Maybe so, but that’s not what I’m talking about here. A labor strike isn’t a call for people to become permanent NEETs. It has a set of conditions for an endpoint.

        Lmay maybe we can sing them a song and send flowers /s

        BDS exists for a decade and they’re murdering people harder than ever. Honestly, recommending useless solution to a genocide is being complicit at this point
