Bangor Maine “Free Palestine” Protest.

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

On Wednesday (April 9th), I linked up with a few like-minded folks and we spent the day exploring Bangor, Maine. While walking through the city, we came across a group of protesters holding “Free Palestine” signs. What struck me immediately was the visual contrast—many of the demonstrators, particularly the women, were dressed in ways that would likely be forbidden in Gaza or much of Palestine due to strict cultural and religious codes. Some wore revealing tops, tight-fitting clothes, even midriff-exposing outfits—all things that would be considered inappropriate or even dangerous in more conservative areas of the Middle East.
There were also members of the LGBTQ+ community visibly participating in the protest. That added another layer of contradiction, considering that openly expressing LGBTQ+ identity in many parts of Palestine can lead to serious persecution or worse.
I approached a few of them and voiced my concerns—pointing out the irony that their right to protest, dress freely, and live openly wouldn’t be protected in the very place they were supporting. Unfortunately, rather than engage in a civil dialogue, a few individuals became hostile and things nearly escalated.
I stood my ground and kept it peaceful, but it was a sobering moment. I believe in free speech, even when it’s uncomfortable, but it’s clear that some people only value it when it aligns with their viewpoint.

Everyone switched lanes.

The far-right largely didn't support Israel until about 2016.... for a similar position of convenience.

It was about the time of Q-Anon that it all switched. Because the controlling elites went from being Jews (pushing progressive agenda) to Woke Lefists (pushing progressive agenda - which were no longer Jews)

But I think about the "Chickens for KFC Conundrum" like the "States Rights Conundrum."

States rights can be awesome if it let's Texas outlaw abortion after 6 weeks, to side with the inalienable rights of a embryo over an adult, as more protected by 14th amendment. (Citing the past to say "it hasn't traditionally been seen as a gender protection")

** But **

States rights are corrupt if it let's Colorado outlaw all semi automatic weapons, leaving only shotguns and revolvers, as not explicitly protected by The 2nd Amendment. (Citing history to say semi-automatic firearms didn't exist in America in the 18th Century, and couldn't be planned for)

A right to every protection under the 2nd is inalienable and undebatable.

A right to every "liberty guarantee" under The 14th is debatable.

This LGBT for Palestine is a left-leaning position of convenience.

And this is why it's called Marxism. "The oppressed/oppressor dynamic" is instilled by Marxism, but also instilled by every Church Lady that blames Satan for everything.

The left version of that tendency is to see whoever is most disadvantaged and discriminated against as the underdog to be given support. Same thing happened with Ukraine.

But the right version sees the oppressor in a more superstitious and contrived way. Like the whole "cabal of Obama's controlling elites" thing. Trump garners that same underdog support. He is the oppressed and those cloak and dagger elites are the oppressor. Which is why Trump support can ALSO drift into contradictory places.

And why Trump can go against States rights on some things. Like Maine's State Rights to ignore his transathlete EO. It's okay to support cutting education funding for a state over that.

Because it's all about protecting my title IX guarentees from Kaitlin Jenner beating me in a decathlon.

"Oh, so NOW you care about women having ALL their rights upheld!? Interesting. Gotta go white knight for title IX protections in Maine, eh? But.. but..."
