I believe they said airstrikes but either way they said unequivocally that Israel hit them with explosives.

When I was 10 years old other kids in my class talked about dropping nukes on the Middle East to just get rid of them. Absolute hellscape

Biden fucked up so hard with this. Whether in this war or the next the global South is uniting. Internally, people do not support Israel like they need them to get away with this level of denial and propaganda. And they are now going to pit themselves against fucking doctors from MSF, one of the most highly respected western organizations, who are providing unequivocal firsthand testimony that these were airstrikes. They will pay.

Yeah for sure, but having the lived experience is really validating. Otherwise it can feel a little too abstract sometimes

I’m glad I at least got to live through 9/11 so I don’t have to combat bourgeois media trying to tell me it was something its not. I always try and tell people who are too young to know or remember that it was a bunch of bullshit lol

Turns out the process of fascism isn’t some mystifying thing like we are taught in schools about Nazi Germany, its literally the lives we’ve lead in the west. The call was coming from inside the house!

Also speaks to the power of class conflict as the supreme driver of social constructs. Trying to explain it away as “people bad” only goes so far. I know people don’t really want to hurt others like this. Its entirely the system created by the bourgeoisie. At least we know we have the tools in Marxism!

It’s honestly pure fucking racism. China is clearly just acting in an underhanded way and manipulating people by LOOKING like they are doing the right thing by bringing people out of poverty but really they are just waiting for their moment to assume imperial power. Those sneaky orientals-- I mean revisionists!

China is obviously a complicated entity. There are a lot of important questions to be asked about how they operate and how that fits into ideas of socialism and communism. But 1. this is their socialist project and not ours and 2. you definitely don’t have the right to project centuries old racist tropes on them.

Everybody except the absolute richest 10% experience at minimum financial stress because neoliberalism has made everything require debt, which is inherently destabilizing and arguably traumatizing. Below that, you have people putting off medical care, severe mental health epidemics (everyone I know is on adderall, anti-depressants, or both), etc. all the way down to the worst squalor you will see anywhere in the world. It’s pretty fucking insane and illustrates how the Emperor is truly wearing no clothes.
