The downvote swarms aren’t as active in news and world news after midnight in Israel by the way lmfaooooo

Nah, they’re the online troll division of the IdF.

The bots are more downvote farms. I could be wrong, but the IDF devotes more resources to narrative control than the US army ffs

Hey there were people dancing on 9/11!

Oh wait

I’d say there’s a lot more skepticism about the PA being corrupt and in cahoots with isntrael

Hamas is a known quantity to Gazans, and while they understand that they are propped up by israel and given money, hamas isn’t bending over to israel like the pa is perceived (and is to some degree)

There is space for all varieties of leftism here. You don’t need to covert to communism. We aren’t a cult. Though we will poke fun at soc-dems and dem socs Glad you found some solace.

9/11 was an attack from another country, far away, who believe in a religion people weren’t taught about in schools.

Hamas’ attack was from within Israel. Two very different things on a surface level. To some degree I understand why Americans largely felt the way they did after 9/11. The was Zionists feel is very different, and genuinely evil

I’ll take it. Normal people are finally starting to overtake the idf influence operatives flooding world news

Based

Hmm what was bush up to in Gaza in 2004 lmfao

Evil motherfucker

No, but great minds apparently think alike

The military was left leaning in the 70s and early 80s. Unfortunately they decided to out-Deng Deng, and the country became state military capitalism. China supported this because they wanted access to resource, and actually helped put down a nascent ML movement in the late 80s.

So the “left” in Myanmar is just pro-democracy. There is no class conflict, partially because the military is the bourgeoisie for all intents and purposes. Yes there are upper class and business owners, but capital is concentrated in the military. Most of these strikes are organized by essential workers in the cities - medical personnel for example, who are upper middle class, and fear they will lose their status as a result of the coup.

So long story short, this is worker driven, but largely an upper middle class movement. Doesn’t take into account ethnic minorities living in poverty, who, before the coup, were actually starting to ally with the military (who wanted more seats so was willing to give concessions). English signs because China is taking a neutral position - they benefit either way, so they don’t really care as long as money and resources still flow. So they think they can appeal to the west to intercede on their behalf.

Especially funny is signs in English that attack China for Uigher genocide. Like, a month ago you were cheering on your own genocide lmao.

Anyway, Myanmar is a land of contrasts, and where we can apply a Marxist lens to analysis of many other countries, this situation defies that framework
