   the right has a 'shut up and be evil with us- it's what it takes' underpinning ... for the left it seems to be 'shut up and be dumb with us' and I am not surprised that it repels a lot of people who are otherwise in alignment

     Am I reporting them? No. Do I think 99.5% of them and possibly more are scam farmers based in places very far from Gaza? FOR SURE. Have a reached a moment of 'lol you have got to be kidding me' toward movement piety along lines that only hurt our cause and everyone else's? Yes.

     The Gaza genocide needs to end NOW and it seems like consensus is rebuilding in that direction. Public pressure on actual political levers- what could that look like; how to engage effectively and learn skills for building coalitions and recognizing partial and successive wins- very here for that kind of imagining. Agreeing to pretend that the comments scammers are somehow not scammers because they say Gaza rather than Ray-bans is ineffectual and nuts.

     I actually don't think we have to be credulous about fake-ass Gaza scammers any more than we have to shut up and take what we are given from gutted and dystopian public school systems. The left-pious 'NO, WE *ALL* AGREE' gets wheeled out for the least good cases and y'all I am not here for it.
