Over 1,000 workers have simultaneously blocked four arms factories across the UK which provide components for arms used by #Israel in its bombardment of #Gaza
@ZamhoidnLA@inquiline So, if I understand your.. I'm pained to call it a train of thought... brain fart... you want people to board. an aircraft and fly to russia or Iran to protest?
@ZamhoidnLA@inquiline When you type things like this out, do you like give yourself a congratulatory back pat for being super edgy? LIke, if I'm a UK citizen my responsibility is for the actions of the UK government and companies, not checks brain fart what the Iranian or Russian state are up to. Gosh..
First of all, replying to anything with just scornful emojis is an asshole move. Second, if you are actually an antifascist and not just pretending to be one, you should know that anarchist antifascists have given support (whatever they can give) to Russian anarchists and others protesting against Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine. Implying that these people do not exist and have not existed is not good:
@inquiline This aligns conveniently as well with some tankies' contention that #Ukraine should not be allowed to defend itself against a murderous invasion, I suspect.
@shonin Wow this is a bad take. The point IMO is not whether Ukraine could possibly be affected too; it's that workers & ordinary people should be able to have their voices heard in what conflicts are funded & materially supplied in their name. Shutting this down sends that msg. There is no inconsistency btwn supporting arms for Ukraine if one does & supporting ceasefire in Gaza, expressing that thru blocking arms for Israel. Don't ever come into my mentions again implying I'm aligned w tankies
