I have marked up the screenshot highlighting the tag warnings that have been applied to their account and I've written the the letters LMAO on top. The tags are: "Liberal Apologia", "Trans Scapegoating", and" Denies US Genocide Role". The first of these is literally what they're doing in this post excusing nonsense neoliberal behaviour.

2.7 Why Capitalism Rocks! Lecturer: Mike Whalen (Pres. and CEO, Heart of America)

This presentation will discuss the human and economic reasons why capitalism not only works but rocks, providing superior benefits to humanity in comparison to all other eco- nomic systems. The lengthy and rather miserable history of almost all human existence will be briefly explored. This long period of pretty crappy stasis was followed by an ex- plosion of wealth and freedom in just the past few hundred years. This explosive launch, often termed "The Great Enrichment", is the most dynamic thing that has happened in human history. It has elevated and liberated, in a relatively very short time, a good deal of humankind out of the mud and from crippling disease, grinding subsistence, short life spans, and general misery, and it continues to do so for millions of people every year.

This pro human explosion was a result of the growth of the radical concept of personal iberty and its companion free market capitalism.

The reason why capitalism generally makes humans better people and why capitalism is more fun will be explored. The inherent inferior structural dynamics of the dominant competing economic models, alternatively termed collectivism, authoritarianism, Marx- ism, fascism, and communism according to its variants of large state control, will be dis- cussed as well.

The article does everything it can to hide that the lion's share of the behaviour that can't meet the "high thresholds" for action is just criticism of 🇮🇱. Then it sneaks this nugget in at the end. This is ofc *not* the behaviour that Ms Inman Grant is tearful about. 🤷 share.google/qKu38cibzuPZ...

I went 81-1 on NHL 82-0! Can you beat it? nhl82.ca That's my fourth 81-1 ... Tyson Barrie screwing me.

82-0.com result where I got 81-1 with the lineup:

I don't love the UX of this one personally but I think it's just aesthetic preferences. I also don't know how this lineup didn't perform better. 🤷

84-0.com result with:

Ovi - McDavid - Bossy
Lidstrom - MacInnis

Apparently this team only wins 73 games in a season.

I mean ... none of the things listed in the article are actually anti-semitic. It's all just support for Palestinians and justified criticism of Israel's war crimes. The language of the article is actually super xenophobic and biased. 🤷

The agency also points to a growing use of antisemitic slogans and imagery, noting recurring symbols among extremist pro-Palestinian activists, including the red inverted triangle — used to signal support for Hamas — and the watermelon motif when used to depict the outline of Israel.

It also points to the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which is widely interpreted as a call for the elimination of the State of Israel.

Islamist and left-wing extremist are increasingly merging anti-imperialist ideology with entrenched antisemitic narratives in their propaganda around the Israel–Hamas war, including claims of a “genocide in Gaza,” depictions of the Jewish state as a “colonial power,” and labels such as “child murderer.”

Such antisemitic narratives have become a central mobilizing force since the Oct. 7 atrocities, shaping public discourse and being used to justify acts of violence and intimidation.

While I think it's gross that there are groups of despicable ppl who have co-opted it as a general slur for Jewish ppl in the ways you've described ... the actual definition is clear and still useful to accurately describe a settler-colonial (and genocidal) political movement. 🤷

A definition of "Zionism":

A movement for (originally) the re-establishment of a Jewish nation in Palestine and (now) the development and protection of Israel. It was established as a political organization in 1897 under Theodor Herzl, and was later led by Chaim Weizmann.

The Wikipedia entries definitely white wash it from what I remember being reported. Feels like they've tried hard to distance themselves from it to keep their royalties coming in. Here's an excerpt about the founder and lead writer:

On 27 March 1993, Expressen reported that Ekberg had once been a member of a band called Commit Suiside [sic],[4][5] which was active in Gothenburg from 1984 to 1986, when Ulf was between the ages of 14 and 16. In 1998, the bootleg Swedish record label Flashback Records released Uffe was a Nazi!, an unauthorized, five-track compilation of what it claimed were Commit Suiside recordings. The songs contained explicitly violent and racist lyrics.[6] A photo allegedly depicting Ekberg making a Nazi salute was used for the record's cover. Ekberg denied that Commit Suiside wrote or performed the songs released on Uffe was a Nazi!,[7] and described the band as "a New Wave music band creating and performing electronic music on synthesizers without any political touch or agenda."[8] Ekberg also denied ever being a member of the Sweden Democrats, a far-right political party founded in 1988.[9][7]

Nope. You definitely called Palestinian ppl who could not stomach voting for their own genocide "cretins" literally above in this thread. You also doubled-down when I encouraged you to reconsider on the basis that blaming ppl for their own murder has pretty inhumane. I still hope you reconsider. ❤️
