it is so crazy how the center left to left CAN NOT talk about voting for dems without self flagellating. truuuulyyy annoying. "yes it's the worst of two evils" STOP SAYING THAT. That's bad politics. Say "YES, I vote for this Democrat. And I'm Happy to Do it." and if some russian bot posing as a 22 year old swarthmore student asks how you can live with yourself voting for a warmonger, you hit the bong and ignore them lol
Why do you feel so contemptuous toward people against genocide? And why do you think straddling the fence on genocide makes anyone take you seriously? The right will always prefer fascism over Diet Fascism; and the left will always genocide as a red line. Grow a spine.
They're so against genocide they won't vote for the people who want more genocide or the people who want less because the people that want less genocide don't firebomb their own place of work. Then when the people who want more genocide win (because their followers don't split hairs like effete liberal assholes) they smugly assert that this is the fault of the people who voted for the people who want less genocide for not firebombing their political opponents.
"the people who want less genocide" genuinely go to hell.
every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...
at the end of the day che guevara said "At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality."

your boyfriend has affected us in the following ways no.1 he is uglyyyyyyyyy
I keep seeing posts along the lines of “you can’t say nuke the US you have to say landback, when discussing the imperial core you have to make exemptions for indigenous Americans, etc.” And first off. Stop tone policing the primary targets of US imperialism, we will express our frustrations with your continued slaughter of our people and destruction of lands however we see fit. But also like. Ok. We must exempt indigenous Americans when talking about imperialism. Sure. Answer me this real quick though, have indigenous Americans, historically, exempt themselves from the crimes of empire? Actually you don’t have to answer, I already know. The answer is no. Native Americans have the highest per-capita military enlistment rate of any ethnic group in the United States. Close to one out of every five native Americans have served in the US army.
It is not unreasonable to extrapolate then that for many in my region, who have never been to the US, their only real-life encounters with indigenous Americans would have been whenever they’d come over wearing uniforms to slaughter/displace us and steal our resources. Just like European colonisers did to their ancestors. Identical in role and function to their non-indigenous counterparts. And such is pretty much true of all marginalised citizens of the imperial core! and it is a glaring contradiction to their histories of marginalisation/colonisation, but it is not on us to will that inconvenient reality away just because the idea of internationalist decolonial solidarity, one that has never really materially existed in any meaningfully capacity, is a prettier story to tell than what is actually going on. It is on you all to make that no longer the reality.
I think if you’re a USAmerican anti-imperialist, you should reconcile with those facts first—the complicity, however minor, of literally all communities and demographic groups living within the imperial core, including your own—and work on that before you start demanding exemptions from anything the people of the imperial periphery have found pertinent to include you in. God bless
You ARE right that the US is taking advantage of the indigenous populations here. They've historically trampled on MOST treaties put together by US governments over the years, and most live in poverty, as well. Keep in mind that the US does have the GI bill, which will pay the indigenous to go to school if they serve a certain amount of years in the armed forces. I wouldn't do it myself, but I'm also an older white male, with all the privileges that gives me. I've never had to struggle for years just to survive, never knowing how I was going to get my next meal. I'm not saying that you can't blame them for joining... just that it's not as black and white as you seem to think it is.
I’m sorry but “I had to murder brown children for money” only sounds like a valid excuse to American ears because you’re all irredeemably sick. That is the only word I can find for it. Sick. You think you are the only people who are people. We have poverty here. We have people whose ambitions exceed their means. They don’t turn to mass murder about it. It is exactly as black and white as I think it is, actually. You can only convince yourself it isn’t because you genuinely do not see the people of the imperial periphery as equally human. There are other jobs out there. And even if there literally weren’t, even if the job market screeched to a halt; murdering people in my region on behalf of empire would not magically become justifiable just because it’s your ticket out of poverty. You would still be a fucking murderer. Do you people actually hear yourselves?
The US will pay for school if you join the war crime and rape brigade. Oh ok, that makes it alright then! Please, go ahead and murder and rape as many of our children as you want! I didn’t know they were paying for school but now that I do, it makes it all fine.
And you are not telling me anything I don’t know by telling me the US has historically and contemporarily oppressed the indigenous people and violated treaties with their nations. The whole world knows, that’s the thing about the world, they know your history better than you do. And that history only serves to make their willing enlistment in a volunteer military that carries out those same crimes against other peoples abroad even more reprehensible. It only serves to make their participation in imperial violence a more appalling, more contradictory betrayal.
i feel i should also note that the whole 'most of those that enlist are just poor minorities' is simply not true. the majority are white, middle-class and come from military families. but even if it was true, it wouldn't matter.
It’s actually so scary how many people on this planet lovvvvve mass death they live the feeling of being able to wipe out entire cities how do u live beside people like this and not go mad
the palestinian genocide has impacted me in ways I didn't expect; for example, I find it hard to read contemporary american poetry now because it feels so trite. no, I don't think this american, whose poetry revolves around building a ✨soft, guilt-free✨life, knows anything about love.
I keep seeing posts that say "the girlies are waking up," referring to women complaining about their boyfriends/husbands online. I'm sorry to tell you this, but complaining about your boyfriend doesn't make you a feminist the same way complaining about your boss doesn't make you a communist.
the habits people form stem from (1) a desire to signal their identity and (2) a desire to socialize. for male-partnered women, complaining about a dumb boyfriend (1) confirms their identity as a long-suffering woman (a "good person," a martyr) and thus (2) socializes them with other male-partnered women.
I'm the first one to pull out the dworkin and point out that there's a darkly practical logic behind traditionalist/conservative women. unlike liberal feminists, who completely ignore the realities of patriarchy, these women see it and choose to play the game.
but I just watched a video essay about tradwife influencers that said "I don't think these women are stupid or lazy" and I'm gonna have to stop you right there. yes they are. the 20yo wannabe tiktok influencers are not phyllis schlafly. you can take them at their word. when they say "I want to be a SAHM so that I can have a soft life and turn my brain off and not have to work' they absolutely do mean that. and they are stupid for believing that becoming a stay-at-home teen mother will achieve that goal.
americans who twist their little mustaches and say "well ackshully there's no point in resisting" about genocide....how do you not want to kill yourself every day

This country is the scum of the earth may the us always be remembered as the demon it’s always been and white ppl think all of this is just how it has to be idk what that is idk how they keep going everyday without killing themselves
it’s crazy how when you’re 11 you think wow nationalism is the root of all evil and war is despicable and religion is the opiate of the masses and misogyny is everywhere and climate change is our most dire threat. and you start to grow up and you think well surely it will become more nuanced to me, surely there must be a reason adults arent breaking down wailing in the streets due to the cruelty of this world. and then you become an adult and you think wow nationalism is the root of all evil and war is despicable and religion is the opiate of the masses and misogyny is everywhere and climate change is our most dire threat
