(I can't / wouldn't want to reblog the chain itself to respond, but see here for the post in question and another response)

this is typical of the whinging that Zionists on here are currently up to:

“the parallels between how the Right treats Black people and how the Left treats Jews are striking”

followed by likening rejection of the (Zionist, antiblack, racist, islamophobic) ADL with white supremacist opposition to BLM

again, almost every “PSA”-style post you'll see on this site about supposed “leftist antisemitism” is just about smearing supporters of Palestine as antisemitic

again, redefining antisemitism to smear supporters of Palestine as antisemites is a state-backed, load-bearing tactic of the Zionist propaganda strategy. Zionists have even taken care to smother or recuperate all of our independent antisemitism monitoring bodies, leaving only orgs (like the ADL) which categorize any solidarity with Palestine as Antisemitism

again, Zionists like this are more scared of Anti-Zionism than they are of Nazis

look at this absolutely unhinged zionism on tumblr rn. “there is no genocide in palestine” type psyop

[Image description: a screen shot of a tumblr reply chain that begins in the middle of a longer post. user spacelazarwolf writes “thank you for the context! this actually makes a lot more sense now.” user mithwitch writes “this is a new low for “nonzionist” tumblr. Suggesting there isn’t a genocide of palestinians is too wretched.” user the-library-alcove writes “And thank you for proving my initial point and all of the subsequent points on how you're viewing this solely as an ideological belief, and not one based on evidence. It's "wretched", not something substantiated.” athingofvikings writes “And another one who decided to block my original post... but obviously didn't read the whole thing because they're emotionally engaged with this. And I can say that because they missed that the-library-alcove is my main blog AND DIDN'T BLOCK IT.” Screenshot ends with more replies extending past, the post goes on.” End image description.]

So now genocide can only be recognized genocide AFTER THE FACT when it can be “substantiated”………..WTF (enjoy this free blocklist)

feel free to read the post here where they think it’s somehow good to phrase it as “hey guys stop calling it a genocide!! It hasn’t happened yet!! :)” unhinged.

so you cannot be in a movement that is predominantly against genocide and ethnic cleansing. like. kind of like a reverse no true scotsman. fucking weird.

"Groomer!" is loaded language--it's invoking the belief of child predators, and "they're trying to indoctrinate and groom our children" is a thought-terminating cliché built on that loaded language.

I don't think just saying it straight up is "loaded" language.

It would be like arguing that "thief" is loaded language because it implies the labeled person stole something.

>"Fake news" is another great example of a thought-terminating cliché.  "You don't need to consider this perspective or information that's threatening to our ideology, it's all lies and fake!"

Except it often comes with an actual explanation for the supposed fakeness. And why people should supposedly consider it wrong, and the damage it's supposedly doing.

And, again, "this news is wrong" is not really a TTC.

Also, it was supposedly coined by mainstream news, to refer to alternative news sources. Then Trump appropriated it, and used it against the MSM in general.

Ironically, it seems like you're using examples associated with stereotypical and high-profile right-wing folks, which your target audience will axiomatically accept as bad.

And you’re using “thought terminating cliche” as a thought terminating cliche.

> But these are more extreme examples.  "Let's agree to disagree" is one you'll see in everyday discussions, basically meaning, "This line of thinking is making me uncomfortable, let's stop."   

“I don’t want to continue this discussion” is not a thought-terminating cliche, it’s a discussion-terminating statement. 

Sometimes the other person doesn’t want to continue because they don’t think it’s productive. Sometimes they don’t want to have a highly polarizing discussion. Sometimes they realize they’re talking to a brick wall.

How is "Let's agree to disagree" a right-wing phrase?

Because that would say a lot more bad things about the left than the right.

At the very least, it says a lot about TLA’s perception of the two sides.

Especially when I find a post in my archive where the-library-alcove incorrectly calls me a “noted right-wing blog” to ignore my point, even though they have me blocked.

(I’d read the rest of the post, but see previous sentence.)

Which is ironic, for someone who supposedly supports intellectual honesty and open discussion and thinks people shouldn’t just walk away from disagreements.

Especially if TLA uses Shinigami Eyes.

Oh, wow, what a shock.

I know they certainly make thought-terminating stereotypical assumptions about people.

the person who runs @thejewitches is the person who runs @jumblr-protector-golem , a zionist friendly blog lol. Cuz why the fuck are zionists like the-library-alcove & starlightomatic & magnetothemagnificent just straight up on there multiple times!!!

it’s @will-o-the-witch who runs those blogs, so be wary of any pro-zionist implicit bias if you follow any of these blogs run by them

large zionist blocklist below

i've compiled a list of all the blogs positively interacting with the @/israel-palestine-bingo blog

there's more info about how the names were complied under the read more, but just to get an idea of how vile the blog is, i just want to quickly mention that the first prize offered in their pinned post, "eight hours of memi mamtera," is the song used in the viral israeli tiktok trend of kidnapping, humiliating, and torturing palestinians in the west bank.

and the "grand prize," which needs no explanation, is "all of palestine! for free!"

some quick info: all the names here have either approvingly replied to, reblogged from, or liked one or more of @/israel-palestine-bingo's posts. for likes, i've only gathered names that appear under their original posts; mostly ones that have not been reblogged, and some with 2-3 reblogs that have not left the immediate sphere of zionists. i've also made sure that these are blogs who have either liked more than one posts from them, or who frequently reblogs from other zionists.

you can also quickly look through the blog yourself (it doesn't have that many posts), or check out any of the names on the list with a quick 'israel' or 'palestine' in the search bar or their blogs.

there are more screenshots at the end of the posts, including ones showing who made the blog (ani-lo-daredevil / katenotbishop), and the bingo board itself (ashenpumpkin).

blocking tip: fastest way to mass block users (on desktop) is to go to settings -> the blog your blocking them from -> scroll all the way down to 'blocked tumblrs,' and then copy-paste the name your blocking

names listed below in alphabetical order reminder again, block don't engage
