“I’ll remember François Legault for the normalization of xenophobia that’s set Quebec back a generation, and the defunding of public transit in Montreal.
“I’ll remember defunded schools, overcrowded hospitals and the assault on post-secondary education.”

@KONGC0DE@emiokok They dont share the same moral values, and dont want to be associated with the current administration. They don't want to sacrifice their integrity for "clicks".
The reason Van Jones can get up, use “dead Gaza babies” so crassly, toss in a joke about Diddy mid-sentence, and have an audience erupt in laughter - without hesitation for either context or content - is because of the depth and breadth of dehumanization that’s been permitted toward Palestinians (including by those who call themselves “allies”). There is no America in which “dead Jewish babies” could ever be invoked in such a vulgar way on such a platform.
So long as Palestinians are denied full humanity - which includes the right to the language of their liberation without deference to the “feelings” of their oppressors; the right to resist extermination; the right to speak for themselves; and the right to have their humanity disentangled from their oppressors’ “security” - this casual, crass dehumanization will persist.
