maniacalmanicmaniaSnap protest: Support Pride in Protest's right to march at Mardi Gras
hitmyspotIt seems like there is a right to protest, but specifically calling out other parade attendees is not right.
Call out the actual genocide actors, Israel and the governments of Australia and USA (among others) for their complicity.
You can call out Zionism without targeting individuals. Mardi gras is a time for our community to come together, not divide. It’s inherently political as we have had to fight for our human rights and have also been historical victims of genocide and the Holocaust.
Just like I agree that police that are lgbtqi+ should be able to march, last year after the murder by a policeman.
You’re going to make a more effective and more public point by being in the parade than out of it. So instead of having a hissy fit and complaining about censorship, take action and follow the rules.
Do you think they would let any Zionist organisation march if they had posts calling for the subjugation of Palestinians? It’s the same rules. Be civil and call for change from the top, not the bottom.
I can’t imagine a more condescending and patronising reply to this post. FYI I didn’t downvote you for what it’s worth.
Lol, I don’t care about downvotes. It probably seems patronizing as the post is about spitting the dummy which is the opposite of reasonable. The Mardi gras committee rarely come across as reasonable and often make controversial decisions. That doesn’t seem to be the case here.
