Seeing a lot of “from the river to the sea” from zoomers who don’t realize it’s at best a blood and soil kind of thing that an authoritarian regime is promoting, and at worst a call for ethnic cleansing.
Zoomers aren’t magical unicorns that are immune to manipulation from fascists when they’re facing economic hardship. We know that social media has a tendency to push people in that direction.
They are ripe to be manipulated into an antisemitic fascist movement that simply puts “socialist” in the name of their party. Sound familiar?
We don’t know this will happen, but lets just say that it’s possible that zoomers organizing under the direction of social media narratives could have some very bad results.
I haven’t seen one damn socialist complaining about the Jews. You know that ethnic/religious groups and governments are different things, yeah? It’s not antisemitic to hate the government of Israel if you hate them because they’re doing war crimes. What the fuck is fascist about wanting a government to stop doing a genocide?
I’ve seen a lot of tankie zoomers, but the generation on the whole seems pretty woke to the difference socialism and authoritarianism

They are right that a lot of Zoomers use ‘from the river to the sea’ without knowing the context of the phrase.
I don’t think it’s a symptom of anything deeper, but I do think it’s a matter of concern.
