"made them the dominate voice"
bro, tankies made lemmygrad for tankies
once again fearmongering leads the sheltered white world to believe that anything that resembles the "enemy" is actually the enemy.
a 6-year-old boy and his mother were stabbed in Illinois, leaving his mother in the hospital and the boy dead. Just because our media has to fearmonger about the scary brown people.
I did just a little bit ago.
Their take on the conflict in Palestine follows the logic of Zionist organizations, and generally, they show that they don't know much about the world outside of their narrow Western perspective. So, good fuckin' riddance.
the one instance I've hated the most has been .world, solely because 9/10 times when there's a pending report, that report was about a .worlder saying some horrible shit. and that .worlders will report our comments and posts for "violence advocation" when all we're doing is discussing the conflict.
It's only been a handful of days, and the Western "left" has once again shown that the only thing they serve is NATO and Western imperialism.
On the first day of the conflict, I didn't see a single Western "leftist" talking about anything related to the conflict. One of the spaces I check was too busy comparing doggos to give a shit that Palestine was liberating itself.
Then I saw MSM decrying that Palestinians were terrorists, and using the terms "Savages" or "living beasts". To which I haven't seen the Western left even shutter at. MSM is using slurs and colonialist language, and these pasty preditors couldn't give less of a shit.
And now that I see that they're talking about it, they're either making "both sides bad" statements, coming into full support of Israel, or using "we'll wait to see" arguments to excuse withholding support.
The only thing the Western left does is disrupt actual leftist movements in their home countries, while amplifying imperialist projects abroad. You'd think after years of posting pro-Palestine things on their Twitter and their Instagrams that they'd have the consistency to actually support Palestine when it mattered. But, no, they're really just white people who wanted to feel more important than their Democratic-voting parents.
Socialism to the Western leftist isn't the liberation of the human race, it's a sticker to put onto their hydroflask and a $10 donation to UNICEF. It's selling shirts with hammers and sickles on them, then hating the ideology that the symbol originated with. It's voting for Hilary when Bernie pulled out, then demanding that anyone who didn't vote for Biden is the same as Trump. Just a bunch of performative liberal bullshit.
update; it took them a minute, but they've figured it out. It's ridiculous that it took them as long as it did to support anti-colonialism, but at least they've come to a consensus about it.
love how the Canadian parliament inadvertently exposed just how far into fascism neo-liberals are.
just a few days ago, if you wanted to find out how willing to defend Nazis liberals were, you'd have to do a lil searching. Now it's right in front of us, all the time, without stop.
"He's a hero, he fought against Russia"
"He's just a little old man, he can't be a Nazi!"
"So what if he was a Nazi? Communism was worse than anything the Nazis did"
"How dare you call me a Nazi for defending Nazis?! I'm not a Nazi, I just hate Russia"
literally their evolution through this.
this seems dumb as hell to us, because we know better.
but a lot of liberals are thinkn't enough to see this, and just go with it.
white western leftists will literally be like "yes I'm a socialist... I just hate everything that socialism has done in the world and I'll gladly defend anti-communist efforts when they don't directly effect me"
what the fuck is up with imperialist Westerners taking stances against China, then going on diplomatic visits there.
"hello yes, I stand in opposition to your sovereignty and your authority in the international sphere. Pls be friendly wif me uwu" shut the fuck up
I hate Orwell, but man was right about the doublespeak thing.
western MSM will say "democracy" when they're talking about western leaning dictatorships, and "dictatorship" when they're talking about non-western democracies.
The only "democracy" in French West Africa is what has been built by its local inhabitants, not what the white man has forced upon them. Full solidarity with the coups, freedom comes from the barrel of a gun.
Jacobin once again proving that they're not a radical publication.
I swear to god, anyone who thinks Jacobin is anything but a SocDem publication needs to first touch some grass, then read some theory.
I'm still waiting for my putinbot paycheck.
they said "be a shill, get 10 mil" so where the hell is my money?
Though I've read and watched a lot about the BPP, I realize there's a lot that has never crossed my path. I assume this is true for a lot of comrades here as well. So, please use this post to share sources and theory surrounding the Panthers and ask questions about them.
This community needs are few finishing touches, and I'd like Lemmygrad to help with deciding on them.
Firstly, a community profile picture is needed. What symbols, images, etc. represent either the concept of colonialism, or represent natives? What colours are commonly used for this purpose?
Second, the community needs a banner. What images evoke decolonization, rage against colonizers, or solidarity between colonized peoples?
Finally, the rules need to be set. What are some rules this community would benefit from having?
this time on; White Westerner ruins their own relationship by not listening to their partner who is from the place in question, and has a far more intimate understanding of the situation and refuses to accept direct sources because of their own political bias.
seems to me the whitey did the liberal thing, wherein they marry someone from a culture they deem lesser so they can "rescue" them from it. Bro went to FU and Yale, if anyone would understand direct sources and intellectual honesty, it's them.
