The kind of people who claim to be “anti Zionist” are also the kind who want to strengthen hate crime laws. Oops, your progressive attempts to engineer society

Oops, your progressive attempts to engineer society got used to stifle your own dissent!
- cjbgkagh 2y agoI used to try to make the 'hoisted by your own petard' arguments to no avail. I think it's important to understand that the state allows and in fact in many ways encourages progressive dissent as a tool to curtail civil liberties. Once civil liberties have been dismissed the progressives will no longer be needed and the dissent will no longer be tolerated. It will be a very different world. I think the anti-Israel war-crime protestors found themselves rather surprised when they were no longer treated with kid gloves and treated rather harshly. I think principles are only principles when they have a cost, otherwise they're a fashion, so the the anti-Israel protestors are the progressives I most admire. I'm not brave enough to throw myself against the gears of the machine and have elected to operate in other ways.
