Both US political parties and mainstream western political parties support the genocide of Palestine (except La France Insoumise, a coalition of hard leftists in France). This is the basis of western economies and always has been. Trump is the living embodiment of “American values” in every sense of the term
We can reclaim America. We can reclaim the flag. I’m not patriotic precisely because of our history. But if we can try to make things right, try to move forward with how we should be, the country can be a better place. But you shouldn’t just sit back and spit on it because of its history. We need to make things right.
it’s an unfortunate trap a lot of radicals (term used neutrally) fall into where they feel such a sense of urgency that they start thinking in black and white, us or them terms, and that sort of division and self-persecution is exactly what keeps fascists in power. great that they care a lot but relentlessly criticizing well-meaning allies doesn’t get us anywhere, it just makes us mad at each other and it’s not constructive
You’re wrong and you’re everything wrong with the world. Read Frantz Fanon or Huey Newton. The way nazis treated other Europeans is the way that Western Liberals have treated colonized peoples. There is no “big difference” between liberalism and fascism. You support the mass rape and murder of millions of people. Anti-colonial scholarship agrees on this.
oppresors are also the ones to always say “x are always good y are always bad and its as simple as that”. like jesus christ not every attenpt at nuance is a form of oppression. you talk the talk but do you walk the walk? what actions are you taking to fight imperialism and tyranny and global poverty? or do you just want to talk shit and feel morally superior?
The Nazis literally studied the US genocide of First Peoples and used it as a model, as well as what europeans did to their colonies. Thats historical fact. And yall killed a million people in Iraq, 500,000 in Yemen, 100,000+ in Palestine, 2 million in Vietnam, 1 million in Indonesia, 1 million in Korea… so yeah its fair
“Diminishing the horrors” you are literally defending the regime that has murdered millions of innocents throughout this century alone. You guys voted for Kamala, who was actively exterminating a civilian population in death camps. And youre gonna complain about being called nazis??
The following statement: “Its a great tragedy when radicals…” The implication is that you or people like OP are allies or well-meaning. Youre not, on both counts. You support and brag about “Amerikkkan values” and the “Amerikkkan flag”. Amerikkka is a settler colony like Isntreal and you are analogous to liberal zionists
As anti-colonial scholars have pointed out, western liberalism has always been based on the mass murder and exploitation of colonized peoples. You act like liberal zionists, trying to add an air of respectability to imperialist mass murder, distance yourself from politicians and a system that you vote for and support.
Calling me mad offensive was itself extremely offensive. Nazis killed Jewish people. You kill Palestinians, Iraqis, Yemeni, and First Peoples in multiple genocides. But the Nazis are “incomparably worse” than Amerikkka? That notion inherently implies white lives are more valuable.
You literally have been pretending that Amerikkka’s genocides of colonized peoples are “offensive” to compare to other genocides. Because colonized peoples arent full people in your eyes. Thats the same talking point liberal zionists use. Its the same tactics used by western liberals to whitewash crimes against humanity
what i find the craziest is that you probably dont even see how you sound rn… you make me want to believe the opposite of whatever tf ur saying i promise. why would i ever side with someone so fucking annoying and keyboard warrior EMBARRASSING. all this time youve spent click clacking away at your phone, u couldve been volunteering for relief efforts, working a job and donating money to gaza and native american foundations but instead ur here. making SUCH a fool out of urself that you push
Lmaooo you sound like all the other fascists on the interet with your self victimizing bullshit “Ackchyually I wasnt a fascist before but you made me one” You are being “offended” that I called out your genocidal crimes and now using that as an excuse to be even more of an imperialist
i need you to understand that you (and ppl like you) RUIN political discussions because you are so incapable of behaving like a normal fucking human. you are so INSUFFERABLE that you immediately repel any sane person from giving a fuck about what youre saying. i have never felt more republican in my entire life than i have in this comment section cause all i want to do is piss you off and be as opposite of you as possible you came in here barking like a fuckign dog cause i said ppl should
reclaim the flag so that it feels more like the whole country’s united for this cause simply cause its what’s right and what we were told growing up was the foundation of our country, what “made us the best” in no reality did u need to come in here and run your mouth. noone in the ND community is a fascist n-zi… and you ruin all weight that accusation has every time you use it. i genuinely NEEEEDDDD you to realize that. that you are the antithesis to your cause. you have probably never
people like you are helping the fascists win at this point and i will detail exactly how. extremists like you spout inflammatory rhetoric that might have some basis in truth, but ultimately boils down to “everyone is an evil fascist except for me and a select few who share my exact beliefs” you refuse to meaningfully engage with anyone who expresses the slightest disagreement. which is most people, because of, you know, the wildly varied human experience.
the left continues to divide into smaller and smaller factions based on your moral purity ideals. the fascists, however, are more than happy to unite among themselves and bond over their hatred of us. and the left is too divided to fight back, because you refuse to accept that we’re on the same team. and you get to smile and say “i told you so” when fascist shit happens. i really fucking hope you’re a troll, though. the thought of someone unironically believing these things is terrifying.
Being opposed to imperialist mass murder isnt “purity politics” and calling it “purity politics” trivializes the millions of lives murdered and enslaved by the US empire. For God’s sake, you guys did a planned famine on Yemen. You raped people to death in Iraq. You slaughtered schoolkids. They were human beings you sick fucks. “Purity politics” you make me sick.
This is the key point of anti-imperialist authors and thinkers: “Fascism” is just when westerners treat each other the same way they’ve always treated colonized peoples. You are the same as the fascists. It infuriates me that you try to pretend otherwise, because it shows how little you care for non-Western life.
I’m not trying to change your mind or save you lol. You benefit from imperialism and genocide. A ruling class never gives up its privilege willingly. You guys are are irreedemably bad people. When you die, you will join your friends heroes, parents, grandparents and ancestors in hell. And the world will be happy.
i know this is the neurodivergent community but for real, this is the craziest and most socially inept conversation ive been in in my entire life its not causw of the content of ur words/ the topics your bringing up, its that youre continuously doing it in a way that is so insane i cant believe a real person is in that brain thinking anything productive could possibly come from this all
You guys are all complicit and guilty. And we know why. Its not ignorance. You literally benefit from genocide and imperialism. As Marx and Lenin explained, you simply are voting in your class interests. This is why this isnt a real “good faith” discussion, as you liberals like to say. You arent a addressing the root reasons you support genocide.
