Pro-Palästina & Queer: Ein Widerspruch?


Die palästinensische Flagge steht nicht für „queerfeindlichen Terror“, sondern für den Widerstand gegen koloniale Vernichtung, Apartheid und die tägliche Gewalt des zionistischen Besatzungsregimes. Dass unterdrückerische Strukturen auch innerhalb palästinensischer Gesellschaften existieren, etwa Patriarchat oder Homophobie, ist kein Argument gegen die Befreiung Palästinas, sondern ein Aufruf, diese Kämpfe verbunden zu führen.

Die Logik, dass Kolonisierte erst „fortschrittlich“ genug sein müssen, um Unterstützung zu verdienen, ist zutiefst imperialistisch. Kein Volk wird befreit, indem man es unter Besatzung lässt -queere Palästinenser:innen kämpfen nicht nur gegen Homo- und Transphobie, sondern auch gegen Bomben, Vertreibung und Entmenschlichung durch Israel. Der Vorwurf des „Antisemitismus“ dient dabei oft als Totschlagargument, um jeden Widerstand gegen israelische Staatsgewalt zu delegitimieren, dabei sind jüdische Stimmen gegen Besatzung und Antizionismus seit jeher Teil der Bewegung.

Nationalismus? Es geht um Anti-Kolonialismus. Die Forderung „Free Palestine“ ist kein Bekenntnis zu reaktionären Regimen, sondern eine Anerkennung, dass Befreiung untrennbar ist: Kein Ende der Queerfeindlichkeit ohne Ende des Imperialismus, kein Feminismus ohne Sturz der Besatzung. Wer sich auf CSDs gegen Genozid positioniert, handelt im Geist des Stonewall-Aufstands, der auch kein Bittgesuch an die Mächtigen, sondern ein Aufstand der Unterdrückten war.

Und dabei ist noch nicht einmal berücksichtigt, dass Israel queere Palästinenser*innen mitnichten irgendwie unterstützt, sondern ganz im Gegenteil identifiziert, um ihr Leben zu zerstören, indem sie zur Kollaboration erpresst werden.

Was wiederum umgekehrt den Punkt mit den verbundenen Kämpfen stützt: der Befreiungskampf ‧profitiert‧ vom innerpalästinensischen Kampf gegen Homophobie — nicht abstrakt und theoretisch, sondern ganz konkret, wenn queere Palästinenser*innen dadurch weniger erpressbar werden.

The FT has published an editorial attacking taxes on the wealthy, and saying we must keep those threatening to leave, come what may. They're horribly wrong. If pandering to tax abuse is the price of keeping the wealthy, we should show them the door. taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0…

The FT needs to get its head around wealth, and the need to tax it

The Financial Times published an editorial yesterday which revealed more about the priorities of the economic establishment than it probably intended.

Red-Baiting Zohran Mamdani Won’t Work

No one should be surprised that Zohran Mamdani supports democratic control over the economy, the end goal of socialism. But he won because he combined socialist politics with practical solutions to the cost-of-living crisis facing working people.

Michael Shanks has claimed there's no such thing as Scottish electricity because it's generated by "GB wind". An extraordinary statement from a so-called Scottish MP.

In October 2023, Shanks urged people to vote for him saying Rutherglen needed "a local champion who will fight for our area. I want to be that champion."

That aged well.

We expected nothing from him and he's still managed to disappoint us.

The new "Mastodon account verification" scam going around is yet another reason why Mastodon SHOULD NOT HAVE A DM FUNCTION.

AT ALL.

An unsolicited on-platform communication channel that admins have no entitlement to inspect, but some responsibiity for the misleading contents of, is ripe for abuse.

Private communication belongs on private e2ee personal comms channels.

If people fall for these DM scams, what are the chances of those very same people noticing that the scam email must be a scam/phishing attempt because they never actually entered their email address when they created their Mastodon account several years ago?

The majority of people are not as tech savvy as you might hope, and doesn't even distinguish between the activitypub protocol and implementations of that protocol, let alone different instances/servers of an implementation.

sorry, having a hard time taking you seriously. is this a real opinion or just sealioning? because this "well that slight improvement might not help this other, even dumber idiot I just invented" stuff combined with your implicit assertion that you know more about "the majority of people" than I do is starting to smell pretty bad-faith over here

if you don't collect email addresses, then you can safely say "any email claiming to come from us is fake"

it removes ambiguity. ambiguity that currently exists because webshits have a habit of outsourcing account management to email. removing email from the platform and loudly announcing it helps people understand.

at best, it's the lesser evil right now. And the more invested anyone gets in it, the more stridently they'll defend it when it makes that next step down the enshittification track. Apple's hiring the same folks that Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, and all the other wannabe mega-evil corps are, so they're all in a race to the bottom. The only way to have a hope of winning... is not to play.

I know you remember when Google said "do no evil" - for a few years, many of us tech folks gave them the benefit of the doubt. How foolish were we? Apple's already done plenty of evil, just not (so far as we know) *that* kind. And, yeah, in general they have a bit more panache. For now. But, as we know, things change. Because that's where all the incentives point. Just like there are no worthy & admirable billionaires, there are no worthy corporations.

I’d rather not have to trust corporations not be evil, and instead know that if they do evil some well-funded government regulatory body will catch them and rain hellfire down on them.

We have allowed corporate lobbyists and propaganda to weaken government regulatory powers and that’s been a big mistake. Without that balance, corporations don’t need to benefit society, just their shareholders.

That is the nature of this system.

Capitalism incentivizes abuse by valuing profit above all else. Corruption begets corruption. Wealth and power are used to capture regulations and bend them to gain more wealth and power that is used to bend regulations for more money and power round and round we go and the final, inevitable form of this type of system is corporate feudalism. That's how it works by its inherent nature.

For fantasy is true, of course. It isn’t factual, but it’s true. Children know that. Adults know it too and that’s precisely why many of them are afraid of fantasy. They know that its truth challenges, even threatens, all that is false, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living. They are afraid of dragons because they are afraid of freedom.
