Not all of yall... but a few

I am unequivocally a supporter of a free Palestine. I see Palestine as a colonised nation and no, I do not believe Israel has a right to exist because it is an imperial project and cannot exist as anything but an imperial project. I do not even condemn Hamas. And I've had this stance on decolonisation for years if you pay attention...You cannot put limitations on how a colonised people fight their oppressors. So no, I won't condemn Hamas, the same way I wouldn't condemn the Mau Maus in Kenya or the Nat Turner Slave Rebellions or the Haitian Revolution or the IRA in Ireland. All of these entities were called terrorists at the time of their existence by their oppressors and all are recognised as liberation movements today, despite the ugliness those movements may have existed in. And I believe Hamas will eventually be seen in the same light.

I would love if violence didn't have to occur and there are anti-colonial movements that do happen to occur with minimal violence. But it's not fair to call any anti-colonial violence senseless, because it is a direct response to the condition that the colonised are living under. And the thing to keep in mind is that Palestinians didn't just start getting genocided by Israel on October 7th, 2023.

you mean how the first 10 seconds is him talking about white people are full of lice?

or maybe it's 3 minutes in when he states that white people are ignorant and incapable of recognizing who the villains are?

what really sends me is near 9 minutes in he's talking about "how he doesn't do drama" and that he "doesn't talk about it publicly". I'm sorry FD, is this you.... just a week ago??

I don't give af about BadEmpanada, don't even watch his content. I do like Noah, though. But it is just SO FD to be like "I don't do drama", "I'm above all this, I'm better" while absolutely indulging it in it, constantly. He doesn't do it on his main channel, but goto his B-Sides, to his Streams..... I remember him being all sorts of involved in the Professor Flowers/Vaush thing too. So he's full of shit.

But ON TOP OF THAT, what is that title again? Is it FD stirring up more US vs THEM lefty bullshit based on race? again? And he does this all, the, time. And it's always framed from the perspective of white people as a pejorative. And look, bringing a black perspective to a black issue is important. Especially to build awareness, understanding and solidarity. It's important to raise up black voices and not speak for them.... so why then does FD constantly presume know white people and tell them and his audience that they're incapable? that they can't be trusted? that being white is an automatic disqualifer for understanding the issues and being empathetic?

Because FD isn't trying to build a progressive coalition, built on unity and shared values. He's just there for the drama and bullshit will use racism a tool and white as a punching bag.
