    “I’m not racist BUT” is one hell of a dog whistle. I honestly can’t tell if this is a purposefully shitty take making fun of genociders, or a purposefully shitty pro-genocide take.

      I’m not gonna get down on you for taking a meme literally instead of satirically, I do that shit accidentally sometimes too. Get all righteous and indignant and then read it back later in the day to discover I am but a fallible human with a variable blood sugar level.

        Most zionists would seemingly agree with both of these viewpoints shrug-outta-hecks I don’t think you’ll find many pro-Israel democrats in the US who are also white nationalists.

          Right, the meme is the literal beliefs of American zionists, that’s why a simple juxtaposition of both beliefs highlighting the ethical inconsistency between them is all that is required for satire.

      Those who support an ethnostate do so without identifying it as an ethnostate. They simply argue for the supremacy of one particular group.

      We need like a symbol or emoji or something for satire cause it’s honestly getting too hard to tell. I have to ask people all the time to clarify.

      I personally like the upside down smiling face. Melting face. Just something we can agree on and that won’t come up in other conversations too much. And that’s also on most people’s phones.

      Idk. Just brainstorming
