Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

It's our favorite consumerist, political fight with family holiday of the year.

Nevertheless I hope you all have a good holiday. Here's to a new year of working class struggle.

Jesus is from Palestine. If he were alive today, he'd skip celebrating his birthday in solidarity with murdered children.

He would. But under a post about celebrating the holiday is hardly a place to bring that up. That’s probably the one place where the cruelty of the world could be put aside for a moment.

Imagine if someone wished someone else a Merry Christmas, and the response was “Palestinians are being bombed”. It’s not wrong, but it’s still out of place.

I have no idea how you can celebrate a holiday while the people in the land that started it are getting bombed. Palestinian Christians, as well as Christians in Jordan decided not to celebrate it this year. I feel guilty going to sleep knowing that I will wake up with a roof over my head, but to each their own.

Salad has nothing to with the genocide, he did all he could, maybe you should ask your Arab brothers to cancel next Ramadan and Hajj just to show solidarity towards Gaza or atleast the Saudis will come to some sense.
