Didn’t realize they used leftist as an insult, it’s hilarious
TIL “fuck nazis” is absolutist rhetoric that makes us equal to Bush Jr.
I’m not from the US, I’m imperialized by the US, which is true regardless of who sits in the white house.
That aside I find it frustrating that you act as if Palestinians deserve collective punishment because of mythical leftists not voting for Harris, which I don’t believe is even reality, but if it was, she could have just said she’d stop the genocide in Gaza, and done. Politicians aren’t entitled to votes. And Palestinians are people. So fuck you.
72·5 days agoBeing okay with genocide anywhere makes you a massive racist yeah, Bernie might perform radical politics but he’s still a Zionist who betrayed his voters for the last couple of years on his refusal to speak for Palestinians and for decades by arming Israel.
You ghouls keep acting like leftists not supporting genocide were somehow entitled. Maybe Biden should have prevented the extermination of Palestinians if they wanted the leftist vote then???
I believe they meant establishment politicians, not necessarily voters, which I agree with. If you support the same invasions, regime changes, racial profiling and prison slavery, etc, I don’t think you get to claim moral superiority for being smarter in how you conduct yourself.
Your country was built by genociding multiple indigenous peoples and enslaving black people and treating them like property, to this day it’s still very oppressive to both of these demographics, in addition to many other groups deemed undesirable by both liberals and fascists in power.
You go defending fascist policy and then have the thinnest skin lol
I don’t know, how?
I haven’t watched it, but based on comments here, didn’t they mention countries from América? In Spanish that includes everything from Argentina and Chile all the way up to Canada. So the context of it being América rather than the US would be very transparent from my perspective.
There have been numerous sexual allegations against Mao
Do you have a source for that? If you’re right I’d like to inform myself better.
That aside, I responded to a low effort accusation that corresponds to western chauvinism. I don’t always like spending disproportionate effort responding to that kinda shit.
We deal with a lot of people telling us all sorts of bs and speaking over us when we talk about historical facts that we actually researched, or even our own lived experiences for those of us who live through invasions, coups and so on.
We see the genocides going on right now, and when we sit down to learn more we find out that there have been endless such cases perpetuated by the same capitalist class for capitalist interests, we learn about the torture, the humiliation, the meticulous extermination of whole peoples with their languages and cultures gone forever, just because their labor or their land has value that capitalists wanted to extract and plunder. I’m too young to have lost someone personally, but when my parents were children we had a US backed dictatorship that disappeared children like them, alongside leftists, liberals, indigenous people… The US taught our military torture methods and bribed them to keep going, and when they were finally gone we inherited a fucking DEBT that we literally can’t repay you, and because we can’t repay you we need to keep getting loans from your country, with strings attached, like more austerity, as our people die homeless and cold. And if we succeed to get a proper socialist government while playing by the rules that your government imposes, they’ll just coup us, like they did to Salvador Allende. Surely you see why we’re angry now. It’s not personal. If you don’t wanna talk to us, you can opt out, it’s whatever to us.
Do you know how many enlightenment figures were wildly racist, how many of them profited from slavery while pretending to stand for freedom? Scientific racism is a direct evolution from this.
As for whether liberalism now would lead to more of the same, of course it would, it has no built-in method for people to not be exploited, to discourage greed, to stop genocide, etc. How would you suggest we prevent any and all of this within liberalism?
Yeah I mispelled, I meant “and they aren’t aware”, not “am not aware”
I feel you. If you can get people near you to support you that might help. Honestly reading theory makes me more resilient to this kinda thing, and organizing or at least volunteering is even better (assuming you’re able), but either way there’s absolutely a lot of shit going on and it’s very valid to get burned out. Just giving some ideas that help me cope just in case they can make your time on earth more tolerable.
