Mods go crazy over one weird trick: change “israel” to “zionists”.

Apparently it’s a bannable offense not to recognize the “state of israel”.

The normalization of colonization and genocide runs deep.

Edit: Yes, I broke and should be banned. I get it. I’m a horrible rule breaker! Downvote me to oblivion… But what many people are missing is why these rules exist and who do they serve. These rules makes things like anti-zionism effectively impossible by imposing imperial norms. That’s the whole point. It should be no surprise that the mod is apparently a zionist and racist. That’s the authoritarian mindset behind “anti-editorializing”. The entire point is promoting the default editorializing of a sick, phony, imperial culture. That’s the worst form of editorializing and propaganda.

      Yeah why is that? Whom does that rule serve? It definitely serves “israel” in every headline in the empire.

        The readers who would be rightfully shocked if a mainstream website, especially without a leading “Opinion:”, talked anything like you do about something they’ve been complicit in this whole time.
