This is the kind of thing is expect from an American leftist content creator, as ot would make sense to police your community into not getting targeted for stupid reasons, or simply for the sake of making your propaganda accessible to as of yet non-aligned people.

Yet it’s somewhat strange coming from BE. It’s not entirely false, but coming from someone who constantly stabs at the 1st world, it’s odd for him to show any concern. It feels more like he’s being a contrarian for the sake of it, rather then actually trying to aid any rhetorical struggle.

I won’t deny I’m concerned about how the US will crack down on leftists for this. However, I also hold the position that the ruling class already puts all to its disposal for the sake of destroying us, so why would they even need a justification on the first place? Kirk was so clearly a fascist that any “normal” citizen is more likely to empathize with leftists being suppressed over Kirk’s own death.

As much as we rag on Americans, it’s not exactly correct to think they support Charlie Kirk. Even a slight investigation into him, which can be done in passing during a conversation, reveals him to be a massive peace of shit who had thus coming.

It’s mind numbing how many people still support the bombings under the pretext of “an invasion would kill more people.” Like that’s just a blatant lie and misinformation but it’s taught in US history classes as if it’s an indisputable fact.

It’s really the most succinct example of how freedom of information is a farce in the US. Sure you can come across information that leads you to the truth, but every vector of soceity a normal person will come into contact with, reinforces the narrative of the bombings necessity. And when you disagree with people on this point, you can see in their eyes how they feel you are naive and ignorant,as if they are special for knowing the narrative that’s shoved down all our throats since childhood.

The thing that gets me is the fact that when you prove that your more knowledgeable on the subject then those people, who only repeat what they learned unce and never investigated further, those people don’t change their view. They’ll say, “oh I didn’t know that but-” and come out with some other bullshit.

More recently people will say “do you know what Japan did during the war?” It’s seriously baked into a lot of Americans that a nation’s people are somehow collectively responsible for their leaders actions. They say that people shouldn’t suffer for a government’s choices but immediately fold into that kind of thinking, even with people who I know are trying to be genuine, it’s this reflexive behavior that I assume is really difficult to unlearn. I was blessed enough to grow up Muslim after 9/11, so this behavior had a harder time sticking to me.

I mean it when I say blessed honestly. I wouldn’t trade my experience for the false comforts that whites have, as I know I’d be frustrated by how difficult it is to untangle your thinking from some of these things.

What would not having a union do to improve the situation regarding the dock workers. Their union is undeniably reactionary, but would aid shipments to Israel or the military change at all if there wasn’t a union? No, it would not. Isn’t trying to intensity disputes within these reactionary unions a better strategy then just blanketing yourself as anti-union? Even if the state cracks down on socialist organizing within the union (as they have before and will always do) isn’t that a vector of propaganda that would better awaken the masses.

It’s genuinely a bad strategy to exempt any kind of product from your strike, and that can easily be argued to any person. So why do Israel and the military get a pass? Why is being a scab for those circumstances okay?

The propaganda writes itself, however ultras refuse to engage with this struggle. The few groups I’ve organized with would have seized the opportunity to point out this hypocrisy and try and pressure the union, or at least attempt to raise the consciousness of other workers who may find themselves in a similar position in the future.

How do we expect the US working class, even when the material conditions worsen from the Global South’s emancipation, to trust communists if we don’t engage with their fucking needs. Parroting this politically incompetent rhetoric of needing to suffer for the sake socialism.

We routinely reject the concept of brainwashing on these forums, in no small part becuase if the well written red sails article, but many of us don’t engage with the other part of the article. Few of us in the west who are communists are doing this because we think our lives would be worse under socialism. Frankly I’m not that altruistic if I’m being honest. I’m a communist because the price of the benifets I get from being the imperial core aren’t worth the lives of people on the my parents countries nor us it worth seeing hordes of homeless people a few miles from our home. Socialism would solve those problems, and whatever I’d “give up” isn’t worth that much to me. I want free education and public transportation and healthcare that won’t put my family in debt. I want soceity to get better around me and not to see the endless consumerist nightmare continue to expand. I want to be able to sleep at night without thinking about how every transaction I ever do inadvertently leads to the images of Palestinian infants starved on their cribs.

I want life to be better for myself and others and I know it’s far from difficult. It’s actually quite a bit easier then maintaining this hell system we’ve created in the west. That is why I am a communist.

It’s not idealist self fladgelation, it’s material self interest.

That sounds a lot more adorable then what actually happened.

Wasn’t some fisherman responsible for stopping them or am I confusing coup attempts?

A relevant sentiment considering the conclusion to the month of Muharam.

There’s something so utterly depressing about US propaganda fooling kids into giving their bodies for the sake of rich men. I’d never liked the recruiters on our HS campus, it always just seemed cruel and scummy to try and recruit kids at such a impressionable stage of their development.

I think the signal that the consciousness of the US as irreversibly turned against empire is the day highschool students begin demanding the military leave their campuses, engaging in protests against them at a wide scale.

it’s actually the ICC iirc. The ICJ is still determining Israel’s crimes I believe, and hasn’t declared a verdict.

I think the channel is promising, inshahallah good things come to them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he lives in Eastern Oregon. There are places that I know I couldn’t go because I’d probably be lynched for being brown.

There actually is some consideration for nuclear powered tankers for this exact purpose, along with the fact that refueling would not be much of an issue, there’s less need to stop. Iirc China has done a small amount of work on this concept a few years ago but I don’t habe anything saved unfortunately.

The largest issues that were being discussed actually didn’t habe to do with geopolitics, but the economic feasibility of it. Even if they were to be more efficient, oil isn’t at a price where nuclear tankers are economically superior.

The other issue was in regards to environmental concerns I case a tanker happened to sink, but honestly that same issue applies to oil, and nuclear material in the ocean is honestly less dangerous then oil when it comes to a habitat, though the danger would likely come from tracking decay material moving along with a current, which could contaminate food.

Geopolitics would probably become a concern if a suitable design was finished, because then it would no longer be a theoretical concept but an actual practical technology. I’d imagine different countries, especially the US, would oppose other countries using it while Fearing that if a ship gotten taken due to piracy (or stopping a genocide perhaps) it would then give the ones apprehending the ships a nuclear reactor, nuclear fuel, nuclear decay and products.

Though I could imagine China building a few at some point if they can streamline its production and oil prices surge for a considerable amount of time (like if the US invaded Iran). The technology isn’t exactly in its infancy, considering air craft carriers and submarines use the same nuclear power process, it’s political/economic will.

I do wonder what effects his return will have to Lebanese politics. I’d imagine he’ll support the resistance against Israel and the US.

Shared to my organization as soon as I saw this.

Definitely plausible

I’d argue it easily surpasses over a billion.

A century of development stunted, and other century of attempted sabatoge.

Do you have any email services you would suggest instead if proton?

Honestly the Ming bros were snubbed in this tier list, they should be at least A tier.

Marx-manship

I have many more pictures but I am not sure how to post them. If anyone has a way for me to dump all my screenshots in case the post gets taken down then please tell me.
