its telling the yemeni fighters have never overestimated the US-israel bloc, and have more than enough to show for it with their consistent record of victories the past two years.
meanwhile doomers in various social media lament the fall of iran after the US strikes, as if the tens of millions of iranians will have no choice but to succumb to the awesome and undefeatable wunderwaffes of the us empire.
the united states is a paper tiger.
a country worse than Nazi Germany and a majority of the west have even yet to realize it
what gives you that feeling, exactly? israel's initial attack on iran? the united states' erratic moves the past few years?
i swear us americans treat travelling to different countries like going to another planet. a lot of "travel guides" especially to asian countries are lowkey racist and chauvinstic as fuck in a way i cant express clearly enough.
you are what you eat, dont let the devil inside you !
ive seen MULTIPLE videos of white people in TEARS crying about "im so happy to be alive... to talk to chinese people.. and know we were the same all along and we are all siblings" like ????
tell me im not the only who sees how weird this "wholesome" fad is.
the mild annoyance i get from seeing americans treating random chinese people on a social media app as if they were literal aliens from another world supersedes any transient satisfaction from seeing americans get "deprogrammed"
edit: i hope xhs gets banned in the US too. this whole spectacle has been embarrassing for so many reasons that i cant even fit in this post and some people i know already want most americans off the site. this "honeymoon period" isnt gonna last long. liberal chinese appease the feelings of white people and suddenly everyone in this site are talking like "no war but class war! american workers and chinese workers are the same! :)". no consistency or critical thinking at all. just memes and vibes
from what ive heard, americans are already sexually harrassing users on that chinese app (whose main local user base are mostly libs anyhow)
do people just forget that russia encompasses eurasia and has asian people? if their passport claims they are from the tuva republic, there is no reason to not believe it
the problem is, its not just hexbear. on twitter you have "leftist" accounts joining hand to hand with right wing racists on attacking "identity politics". the way i like to think of it is that the white western left is similar to the israeli left. should i spend my emotional energy with the matters and discourses of the "israeli left"? id rather not.
im thinking of how few spaces there are online that are predominately poc/non western and explicitly communist/left. its a shame. but i like to believe most poc leftists are doing irl work. at least thats my personal experience. social media is a white man's kingdom
can't wait for the us to launch a symbolic attack in response to iran's symbolic attack, which iran will afterwards retaliate with another symbolic attack.. as tel aviv gets bombed in the mean time
