@salad_bar_breath I mean, sure.
Like, no Eurovision enjoyer has ever called for Israel to be banned from the event.
Nu-uh, nope, did not happen, never.

@salad_bar_breath @claude_cahun I mean, fair.
The only actual calls for boycott I heard was in 2019 when the show was hosted in Israel, which quite a lot of people did boycott tbf
But if we're going to measure "European Leftists' Leftie-Cred" by which things they boycott, you'd probably find the majority of them really quite problematic. :D
But I guess when it's entertainment that's on TV, that's when it's extra bad.
To all those rustling their jimmies over Eurovision being a thing.
Do you ever just... Have fun?
(also apartheid Israel should not be included in the event, fuck them)
@MediaActivist Then don't? 🤷♀️
The way a lot of Western (supposedly) left-wing personalities are trivializing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, be it by claiming it as a war of "NATO aggression" or by branding the Ukrainian society as some kind of neo-nazi state, only serves to weaken the support of Ukrainian grassroots left-wing groups and their ideas among the Ukrainian people.
Once the war ends, I think there's a very real possibility of not only Ukrainians, but other East Europeans shutting their ears to left-wing ideas, if Western batshit tankies succeed in painting the broader international left as a bunch of Stalin larpers and genocide deniers.
Do we want a post-war Ukraine where local anarchists, labor unions and other antiauth left-wing groups can thrive, or do we want a Ukraine where leftist thought is misconstrued as inherently authoritarian and genocidal?

I'm a thirty-something trans woman from Helsinki. I've been somewhat into politics since age 14 with anarcho-syndicalism having a special place in my heart since then.
I've been in party politics, squatted houses, participated in protests and worked as a trainee in the European Parliament.
I'm also a massive geek. And I sometimes get agitated easily, but I have tried keeping a cool head since getting banned on Twitter in Nov 2022.
I also like bikes. I'm learning how to fix them. :3
