      False equivalence - MAGA is a party in the US that is the oppressor. Palestine is a country and people that are oppressed and genocided.

        “Well akchewally”

        Okay, well how about if someone unfurled a Dallas Cowboys flag on stage while you were on it. I would be furious. Do you now understand the point I was making?

          You’d be furious?

          I’ve never worked in the performing arts industry so I am not sure how I would feel. It would probably depend on how proud of my work/performance I was feeling in the moment

          I think my reaction would definitely be different to some sports team banner vs holding up a flag of some country

          And would also definitely be different if the country flag was referencing an ongoing conflict that the nation I resided in was participating in or instigating, versus some arbitrary-to-me flag like in reference to that person’s ancestral homeland or something

          Anyway it seems you probably have a better understanding of yourself than I do of myself

          I honestly recomend not engaging with people this far gone.
