  • Are you daft or what.

    An ethnostate doesn't mean 100% of its inhabitants or ruling class are of the same ethnicity, it's a state where some people have privileges over the others purely based on their ethnicity. Sure the arab list is allowed to exist as long as they're not a threat, South Africa had black politicians during the apartheid too.

    "But Ben Gvir is mizrahi" is one of the dumbest zionist arguments I've ever read. There were dutch, british, afrikaaner, and other types of whites in South Africa, I don't see how this disproves the existence of a South African white ethnostate during the apartheid.

    Israel constitutionally defines itself as the nation-state of the jewish people, gives automatic citizenship to jews exclusively via the law of return, and enforces different legal systems in occupied territories depending on ethnicity. That's the textbook definition of an ethnostate.

    Can you piss off from my replies and go be a lapdog to the genocide gang somewhere else. I'm really not interested in the void that populates your brain, you're not worth a single extra second of my time.

  • Cmon these comparisons are almost as old as Israel itself.

    Back in 1948 you already had prominent jewish people comparing zionists to nazis (Einstein was one of them).

    My family of holocaust survivors never had kind words for Israel, and were always pissed that they were pretending to be the country legacy of holocaust survivors while building up an ethnostate of their own on stolen land, complete with camps and all.

    You can't dehumanize people who have already done the work of dehumanizing themselves, unless you think I'm dehumanizing MAGA too when I compare them to 1930s fascists.

    It's only a dogwhistle when it comes from problematic people.

  • Context:

  • 🥰

  • Some bleak and/or liminal backgrounds I made for this comic.

    Was fun coming up with the saddest color palettes possible.

    Drawn in MSPaint with a mouse.

  • Mondays are surplus suffering.

    A reminder that even the concept of rest has been appropriated by the ruling class.

    Seize the means of awakening on your own time.

  • Much appreciated ❤️

    But I'm definitely not there yet (for ex. the head shape and hands in the left panel, I just gave up on both).

    I'll still be sharing mostly stickmen for a while, until daily practice gets me where I want to be, long road ahead.

    As for art I draw for games / commercial use… I have to record the entire sketching and drawing process from start to finish, which feels intrusive and affects the creative process, because otherwise you always run into those types who think they can tell the difference but always get it wrong, and nothing short of a full recording will satisfy them. Yay learning to draw in the 2020s!

  • Thanks, much appreciated.

    Main issue is whenever I tryhard, I often end up getting told that my art looks AI generated (that's why I leave the paint bucket fills instead of smoothing them out…).

    It's disheartening when it happens, so I tend to share stickmen online, and keep my more serious pieces to myself.

    Grinding daily though, hopefully I'm getting better, and one day I'll escape this vortex.

    Today's piece, reworked/improved a piece of art for a card game:

  • Chew on the brick.

  • The mythical reading comprehender.

    Notice how in the meme, the character looks happy when they meet someone calling out israeli crimes.

    Of all the places/platforms I shared this, most of which are far leftist and staunchly antizionist, you are the one and only person that lacked the reading comprehension skills required to see that this meme addresses the issue of people conflating antisemitism with antizionism, makes it abundantly clear that the meme is about a small subset of people.

    I'm allowed to vent about conspiratorial antisemitism still being a pervasive issue in western society. Even in the context of an ongoing genocide, the topic is not off limits, as long as it's presented in a clear antizionist context. And you're allowed to go eat shit and maybe some glass shards too. Just something you're allowed to do. For fun. If you ever want to. Have a good time.

  • Reading comprehender.

    The meme clearly targets a small subset of people who call themselves conspiracy theorists. It's very explicitly stated. Hard to misunderstand. Legitimate antizionists don't call themselves conspiracy theorists. The target is clearly far right antisemites.

  • Out of my dozen of comics and memes unambiguously criticizing Israel, this is the only one doing what you are complaining about.

    If anything, my content is doing the opposite, calling out people who weaponize antisemitism as a way to deflect antizionism.

    However, there are some people whose criticism of Israel enters the realm of conspiracy theories about jews controlling the world, some of them occasionally showing up in spaces I frequent. Being jewish myself, I made this one meme to vent out about it, literally just one among the rest of my content, just one small meme in years of making content. Although you don't know me and my work so couldn't know what I stand for, it's a very disheartening reply to get on this one piece of content, which is, imo, perfectly legitimate, perfectly clear, and undeserving of this callout since it clearly singles out people who call themselves conspiracy theorists.

    Had do a lot of zen gardening in my head while writing this or it'd have contained some extremely harsh words.
