Worse when you realise this is the furthest their activism goes to. They don't center Palestinian voices, not do they expose the crimes of Israel. They just fawn over a conventionally attractive celebrity who's perceived as pro-palestine (which he isn't in the slightest???)
I hate it so much that politics has been minimised to celebrity culture online. Because not only have these people fell for an obviously false hate campaign, but they've somehow tricked themselves into believing that the "opposition" to Messi must be morally pure. It gets even
@nsssrne I think these people forget that the greatest deterrent to previous recognition of the Palestinian struggle was the *Islamophobic* propaganda spread by the West, the very same propaganda used against every other Muslim country.
@LMel3vn@rileyjmr@0lliin_ Because everybody at the top level of football recognises Messi as the greatest, so they're desperate to find anything that can 'challenge' it even if it's as meaningless as an Instagram comment
@evaxhaaligham@blaugranartista@alanaiwf@farioomf@lani_iscool Yeah but this isn't a question of of he's good or evil, its if he is a right winger. And so far there's nothing to refute it, so none of us are wrong for coming to the conclusion that he is.
That's all there is to it.
@evaxhaaligham@blaugranartista@alanaiwf@farioomf@lani_iscool Ridiculous thing to say considering Conservatism is an ideology and being black isn't something you get to have a choice about. Not to mention the tendencies of Conservatives to be racist
@evaxhaaligham@farioomf@lani_iscool He never once said that and if it were mocking you'd think he'd have done something about the Literal White House posting him. Instead he went and said some lame excuse of "I don't know politics" at Twenty Six Years of Age.
@EcoTechBro I never understood this "white leftist" thing because at the end of the day are they not opposing Democrats because of them murdering black and brown people for years? And by doing this they're also erasing the coloured leftists who share their opinions too
