Unless you’re a member of the big club, I’ve got bad news for you[1][2].

Everybody but that one Rush fan 😂

FUCK IT, WE’LL DO IT LIVE!

“Israel lobbyists” are not Jews, they are Zionists, most of whom are not even Jewish. This bloc consists of Jew & Gentile Zionists and the US military-industrial complex. This is a Western settler-colonialist project[1].

I try to point people toward developing real media literacy.

Edit to add: It’s important also to remember that there are non-Zionist Jews and anti-Zionist Jews.

Remember last time around, when mid-level mandarins cosplayed through the media anonymously as “The Resistance”?

I can tell you as a leftist… The NYT is closer to the GOP

As a communist, I covered this in my first previously:

Also, in what universe is the neoliberal, anti-labor NYT center-left? And if The Grayzone in the ultraviolet territory, where does that leave the explicitly Communist Monthly Review, outside of MBFC’s Overton window? Surprise, it’s to the right of it

But MB/FC tho…

Previously, previously, previously.

So was the Führerbunker.

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the Straight moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Gays’ great stumbling block in their stride toward freedom is not the Super Straight or the Super Happy Fun American, but the Straight moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes they can set the timetable for another person’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Gay to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

— Martin Luther Queen Jr., probably

The fact that I now know is the very reason why I no longer start.

Don’t tell those other suckers, though, or else nothing will ever get started.

— How did you lose your imperial grip?

— Two ways: gradually, and then suddenly.

I don’t see why I can’t also be proudly straight

Do you hear yourself? “I don’t see why I can’t also be proudly white.”

The only reason “gay pride” exists in the first place is in reaction to oppression. The straights have in no way been suppressed, and “straight pride” is nothing but a backlash to gay liberation.

I posted any number of links to information on what actually happened at the beginning of this conversation, but you’re not going to engage with any of them, because you’re not actually interested in what actually happened; you’re interested in winning a debate on the internet. But the two or three people who are still reading this thread don’t seem to be impressed with your unserious line of argument.

Amnesty International is funded by Western capitalists and by Western imperialist states (which are themselves run by Western capitalists[1][2]), so it can shove its opinions on socialist, anti-imperialist states up its ass. It is part of the human rights concern troll industrial complex.

I don’t understand the recent-ish Catalan independence movement very well, but the more I looked into it the more it seemed… weirdly astroturfed by petit bourgeois interests. I wanted to be excited about it, and would have been if it had been a proletarian-driven movement. I was even less excited about Madrid’s handling of it, though.

Is the presumptive VP speedrunning boy who cried wolf? If the US is going to pull out of NATO, I doubt it’ll be over pennyante shit like 𝕏itter regulation.

What’s more likely: that Russian revanchism came from

Well there’s your problem: you believe the imperial core’s narrative that this is about “Russian revanchism” and not about decades of NATO expansion or Western Ukrainian fascists terrorizing eastern Ukrainians for almost a decade.

Believe what you like, but you don’t seem to be winning any hearts and minds here, and hardly anyone reads this far down conversation threads, anyway.

If you actually went to Xinjiang and asked the Uyghur people themselves (which you can actually do), I think you would find that they’re very happy for the terrorist attacks to have ended. You can visit their neighborhoods and their markets and their mosques and ask them yourself.

Also yet to refute UN’s claim.

Have you forgotten the start of this conversation, where the UN put this to issue to bed two years ago? The only people interested in this is the US propaganda machine. And they don’t actually give a rat’s ass about the Uyghur people any more than the Palestinian people. They only push this narrative to manufacture consent for their new Cold War with China.
