54·3 days agoWe’re gonna see that in the US before we see it in Russia. At least Russians have free education and free healthcare mandated by their constitution.
Israelis are the inventors of the “double tap” tactic to take out rescue workers, medical workers, and even more civilians, the people who are helping. It’s absolutely sick. Oh and Obama utilized and popularized this tactic during his regime during which he dropped over 26,000 bombs on seven different countries (but don’t let the “vote blue no matter who” crowd know or they’ll attack me).

I mean Zelensky is a big fan and supporter of Israel. And also a fascist dictator who has shut down news outlets, banned political parties, and cancelled elections in Ukraine. So this tracks. Although not sure what these means for all the out and proud Bandera-worshipping Nazis in the Ukrainian government and armed forces. They’re probably immune because they’re basically Zelensky’s secret police who, among other things, slaughter ethnic Russians in the Donbas, abduct men off the streets for forced conscription, and murder Ukrainian leftists and socialists who engage in activism against the Zelensky regime.
5·10 days agoCurrently reading five books:
- Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray (it’s basically Real Housewives of Regency London. Loving it!)
- The Wings Upon Her Back by Samantha Wells (grimdark steampunk!)
- The World is Full of Divorced Women by Jackie Collins (racy 70s chick lit)
- Blue Skinned Gods by SJ Sindu (a blue boy in Tamil Nadu, India is believed to be the reincarnation of a Hindu god)
- Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism by George Monbiot & Peter Hutchison (freedom only for the rich while the rest of us are oppressed, surveilled, and exploited)
Again <30% want independence from China
The “government” of Taiwan is the equivalent of if MAGA invaded Hawaii and claimed that the rest of the continental US was now called Hawaii and ruled by them. The Taiwanese govt is a historically far-right US puppet govt that is one of the biggest supporters of Israel and its genocide. And according to polling in Taiwan, less than 30% of Taiwanese people want independence from China.
We could debate this for hours or longer (as people in that Guardian article’s comments section were) and never convince each other. The fact that it is so disputed and the details are not fully known, and the fact that Obama literally said the use of chemical weapons by Syria would cross a red line a year before the attack, and knowing the history of the US empire and its relentless greed and hunger for power and control, I am inclined to believe it was a false flag, just as you are inclined to believe the CIA propaganda/Western mainstream media line that every leader of a sovereign state that stands strong against US hegemony is a baby murdering dictator (even though all of the presidents of USrael are themselves baby murdering dictators). But I’m just a fringe tankie moron so don’t listen to me.
If you read the reporting from Grayzone, you’d have seen that the study done by MIT proved that the sarin missiles used would not have reached Ghouta if sent from the Syria Armed Forces and that video footage showed Liwa Al Islam (a foe of the Syrian Armed Forces funded and armed by the Saudis, and probably the US) committed the attacks (and the US blaming it on Assad helped manufacture consent for their regime change war). But details (and innocent lives) don’t matter to you imperialist psychopaths. Like I said, all you care about is your personal, privileged comfort and peace of mind, and I’ve obviously hit a nerve as evidenced by how ferociously you’re attacking me.
And just so we’re clear, since the details matter, imperialism is not defined as “having a military” and “defending one’s own sovereign country.” It is, as defined by your favorite, Wikipedia, “the maintaining and extending of power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power (military and economic power) and soft power (diplomatic power and cultural imperialism). Imperialism focuses on establishing or maintaining hegemony and a more formal empire.“ As an anti-imperialist, my politics are based on fighting not only imperialism, the highest form of capitalism, but also capitalism, US hegemony, and the evils and chaos that the US wreaks upon the free peoples of our world so that billionaires can buy more yachts.
And if you cared so fucking much about genocide, you’d think you’d care about the fact that the US & Israel are committing multiple genocides now with impunity and your precious mainstream media is literally egging it on and platforming regime change architects, warmongering diasporoids, and fuck ass CIA propaganda, resulting in the death and carnage happening every day that everyone in the US govt fully supports. I know what side you’re on and it’s not the side trying to stop the death and destruction.
Lastly, you have indeed created a hell for tankies and for all oppressed peoples across the world by supporting liberal capitalists and imperialists in power (who are all funded by the same billionaires and Zionists as Trump). I wouldn’t wish the same for you (unless you’re a Zio billionaire) and sincerely hope you can find a way to do some good, or at least stop attacking the people that are trying to do some good in this miserable capitalist hellscape we’re all trying to survive our way through.
Love how you constantly quote Wikipedia as if it’s some unbiased source that isn’t just a mashup of propaganda sourced from US-funded AGM outlets.
Sorry to disrupt your sense of comfort with a dose of reality. I know the ultimate goal of you libs is to protect your peace of mind at all costs, no matter how much you have to ferociously attack leftists and ignore the death and destruction your Democrat politician heroes inflict upon the Global South and the innocent civilians of the Middle East.
Because they’re non-billionaire funded, anti-imperialist, independent media that provide real perspectives and info that mainstream media purposely omits (for the purpose of manufacturing consent for regime change wars and preserving US hegemony around the globe)?
Ok we’re talking about the elections not the candidate selection process. The only candidates we get to vote for in the US have to be approved by the shady dark money billionaire class and the lobby of an evil genocidal ethnostate. If it is indeed true that the Ayatollah has to approve candidates in Iran, I’d rather take my chances with one well-known dude with some degree of morals than with a bunch of faceless warmongering capitalist pigs. But I’m just an anti-imperialist idiot that wants peace in the Middle East so don’t listen to me.
Do you have sources to back this up or are you just going on vibes?
Just because you weren’t aware of it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Masoud Pezeshkian won the 2024 Iranian presidential election on July 6 and was inaugurated July 28. Pezeshkian, who is still president, has criticized the Iranian government’s handling of protesters in the past, is an advocate for the rights of ethnic minorities in Iran (like the Kurds and Azeris), and has appointed two women as Vice Presidents, one as a minister in his cabinet, and a woman as his spokesperson.
The Ayatollah is the equivalent of the Queen of England + the Archbishop of Canterbury and has both political and religious power, but the president is elected by the people of Iran and runs the country along with various councils. According to the UN, the official leader of Iran is the president, not the Ayatollah.
Maybe try to diversify your media intake so you’re not only consuming narratives manufactured to support US imperialism and hegemony (I.e. billionaire-owned mainstream media). I recommend reading President Pezeshkian’s message to the American people he posted the other day. We would be lucky to have a president as intelligent and humane as him.
Love that your ultimate response to any argument is “I’m bored of you” because you can’t bother to try to inform yourself and are simply pretending to know all about world affairs by going off vibes 🙄
Why is this getting downvotes? It is the truth!
