reposting this Boise_idaho comment from the news mega

Interesting commentary (alongside the dude just ranting):
https://xcancel.com/DavidHundeyin/status/2071760347799683534

3 days after Traoré is all over the news for breaking off diplomatic relations with France, which gets a good reception, some obscure christian zionist Twitter handle puts out a bullshit tweet portraying a routine change of an accredited Israeli ambassador (based in Cote d'Ivoire) as "Traoré developing closer ties with Israel" and you bunch supposedly "anti-imperialist" dumbasses fall for the headfake instantly without making any attempt to even understand what you are looking at.

whatever will burkina faso do without your support…

Yeah I'm gonna wait until I hear the justifications/corrections about this visit from actual officials of Troare's government and not from the self-serving mouth of some blood diamond zionist hawk who lies as he breathes

Either this is kayfabe to buy time to prevent American drone strikes or the US helping France arm ISIS....

Or Troare is a zionist all of a sudden, time and more info is needed

He's working with them hand in glove.

He's been too friendly with the UAE for a while so I kinda saw this coming sadness

BF had a chance to do something funny, but now it's just tragic.

You were supposed to defeat the Sith not join them!

anakin-padme-1 We've resumed diplomatic relationships with the ethnofacist colonizers.

anakin-padme-2 You mean to just take advantage of them and tell them to fuck off right?

anakin-padme-3 well they said something about a Black Male.

anakin-padme-4 They got to you too.

Wait till you hear about China

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 60 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

China deserves to be shit on for that as well. Like I've said before, not everything has to be defended.

[-] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago

But but but but but le hexBORING tunkies love authoritarianism!!!!!!!!

(A lot of situations more local to me don’t feel particularly well understood on here but I’m sympathetic to those willing to look past the reflexive thinking reinforced throughout life)

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 18 points 7 hours ago

Most Chinese people are not happy about it either I think.

[-] Chana@hexbear.net 35 points 10 hours ago

I get the general sense that Traoré et al are more national liberationists than anti-imperialists. And the veneration of Sankara is in a similar vein. But I am really unsure about what the underlying political realities are.

[-] darkcalling@hexbear.net 1 points 4 hours ago

Pragmatism makes strange bed-fellows. China is too far to really help them but in minor ways, zionists will sell them weapons happily including advanced software tools and much more beyond weapons really given how much research goes on there in occupied zio-nazi Palestine. At least I assume that's their hope.

Anyways anti-imperialism isn't always going to be neat or perfect and they are very, very vulnerable even compared to a lot of AES states given the active US backed Islamic extremist insurgency (IS, etc) in their areas.

So much for the struggle against imperialism

Why act so surprised that one of the poorest nations on earth is forced into geopolitical pragmatism? You have forgiven streamers for worse.

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 25 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I don't know if this is directed at me personally, but I don't forgive streamers, let alone follow any of them. This tendency of always having to defend the indefensible is probably one of the most annoying things in our community. Sometimes you can just let people be upset or disappointed when a bad thing happens. It doesn't automatically mean that people will drop all support. The term "critical support" exists for a reason.

Also, using the excuse of them being poor to defend an anti-imperialist leader for strengthening ties with Israel is quite something when there are poor countries out there (like Yemen and Cuba, just to name a few) who chose to stand with the oppressed over so called "geopolitical pragmatism" when dealing with a genocidal apartheid state.

[-] thatsnomayo@lemmy.ml 12 points 9 hours ago

It depends entirely on the implementation, & whether they have the resilience to manage foreign capital. I disagree with the moral framing of trade ties in general, so there is no excuse involved. Yemen is whole other can of chicken, of course ideally we would all be Yemen, unilaterally close off the first world to force a reorganization of the imperialist structure into something compatible & not parasitic. Yemen is struggling & the non-aligned movement is practically dead. If you disagree that foreign investment controls can be used to redirect resources from hostile nations into positive results, we can wait and see. I wouldn't justify Brazil having military ties to Israel left over from Bolsonaro, different position, different ties, I only compare them because we could do so using headline-reaction moral outrage.

No, I'm not monitoring your media consumption habits, when a post gets a lot of interaction I tend to just ignore the comments & let people fight it out, it wasn't directed at you specifically

this is really terrible

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 37 points 11 hours ago

Knew something like this was going to happen when the UAE was involved way too much in the AES (Mali's primary trading partner is the UAE) just wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt

[-] thatsnomayo@lemmy.ml 16 points 10 hours ago

I mean it would be pretty amnestic to see them working with one regional subimperialist & think they wouldn't do this when China and Vietnam have done the same. It's part of the same pole as US, Japan, Europe, Aus, RoK, Singapore, this is how the global trade system works. You get crowbar'd into working with imperialists no matter what. Autarky failed, the periphery got left behind. Exception might be DPRK, which was able to make something out of the sacrifice & never rolled back & became a neocolonialist hellhole in any respect.

  1. it's unpopular decision and very unlikely to be appreciated by the population.
  2. it gives legitimatacy to the IS groups.
  3. Burkina Faso will gain nothing from working with the entity, the entity will gain more from it.
  4. this will kill any chance of working with Algeria, Iran or the DPRK.
[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 11 points 9 hours ago

I have a feeling the DPRK is going to be a lesson for all future anti-imperialist projects.
