Twitch declares that “Zionist” is a slur, will issue bans for criticizing “individuals” based on their “religious beliefs or background” (genocide, settler colonialism)
Implications for leftist streamers like HasanAbi
potentially establishing precedents for mass removal and censorship of anti-genocide organizing and education on other major social media platforms
[News mega comment thread: https://hexbear.net/comment/5640369]
This is particularly absurd when Zionists themselves proudly call themselves that and have written almost a century of political and cultural theory on the subject.
It would be like banning the term neoliberal as a slur.
Fucking freaks dude, this kind of shit has me feeling like something big is going to give sooner rather than later.
Wonder if Twitch admin are a bunch of zionists.
No! A vc funded tech company owned by one of the mega corporations that uses its recommendation algorithm to turn children into Nazis might have genocidal Nazis in leadership?
I call bullshit; couldn’t be true.
Genocidair?
Slurs are when you correctly identify someone by the name of the political ideology they adhere too.
Which they also label themselves as.
Well yes but only they can say it. You just dont understand the history of the word, and they don’t need you goysplaining their genocidal ambitions to them.
(Joke) Another day, another banger for twitch. They got rid of the wretched slur, Crcker, and now. the got rid of Zinist Thank you (twitch CEO), you make us all greatful.

I gotta say this latest batch of weird internet gamer gate hitlerites that are targeting Hasan are particularly disconcerting to me
Anyway, let’s talk about how TOTALITARIAN it is that in China you can’t just say the most fucked up shit imaginable on the internet free of consequence.
A lot of Americans believe that Israel controls the US. Stuff like this feeds into that for the uninformed.
Its literally just a ‘protocols of the elders of Zion’ larp group.
Proposed new identifier: protocols larper
Which drives up (actual) antisemitism. Which leads to (actual) pogroms. Which leads to American Jews (and others around the world) moving to Israel.
Aka: all part of the Zionist plan.
And for any liberal dinguses reading this going “heuh heuh wow look how racist the left is! Heuh heuh!” I’m speaking not about the Jewish Zionists concentrated in Israel, the US and EU. I’m talking about the majority of Zionists… evangelical Christians. Rabid racists who support actions like this from the US state and other Western governments in hopes that it does exactly what I wrote above. They want all the Jews in America to go live in Israel until the rapture happens and they’re all sent to Hell or whatever specific fanfic they choose to believe. It serves their goal of making America more of a WASP ethnostate, emptying it of non-Christians that they hate, and feeds their psychotic religious fervor.
It’s actually incredible how many specific things that you can point at that make America suck have been upheld by or caused by evangelicals
There’s a reason England sent them all here
Yeah, before theremoved riots I always used to say Christian Zionists are worse.
doesn’t israel have a lot of sway over the us military and its propaganda machine?
Other way around.
Israel is an arm of the US military. It only exists because of the US military, and it continues to exist only as long as it carries out the will of the US military.
it’s like a mass line but cringe. the party of american capital is still in control
The year 2027: “The word Nazi is now a slur, please don’t call the Nazis Nazis.”
This literally happened in Sept 2023 in Canada after parliament applauded the waffen ss
I’ve seen so many people who self-identify as a Zionist (by just openly saying “I’m a Zionist”) insist that Zionist is a slur. But then why are you proudly using it to describe yourself!?

* taps sign *Reclamation!
Only they can call each other a Zionist.
It’s THEIR word!
So fuck twitch (and streaming in general tbh) but it seems like an easy workaround is just to call them genocide supporters or settler-colonizers.
‘Protocols of the elders of Zion larper’
though that is a bummer explicitly is that these folks would proudly call themselves zionists, i would gamble that settler colonizer is too technical in a sense
Fascist hitlerites
Better to call them what they are Zionazis. Zionsim is not a religion. It is a racist ethno-supremacy fascistic ideology. It uses the mask of a religion as Hitler did with the Swastika to shield it. People should rebel. The entity is lashing out in desperation.
in amerikkka settler colonists are a protected class
people will just start calling them genocidal apartheid-supporters instead
or maybe fascist isn’t a slur yet
I sent support a demand to delete my account and any historic personal data made it very clear why I want it gone
