When I compare how Leftists are talking about Iran to 1940 Isolationists

I'm not even making an accusation of ideological inversion.

Most of The American Left in 1940 were with the Isolationists on the subject of entering the War in Europe. BreadTube videos want to focus only on the Right Wing Isolationists and pretend it was only a right wing phenomena among Nazi Sympathizers, but it wasn't.

The CPUSA took their marching orders form Moscow all through the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, but it wasn't just the same, it was the same with all three Trotskyist parties and the Socialist Parties that predated 1917 and the Anarchists including some who were Jewish (Emma Goldman and Paul Goodman) and everyone still alive who had been Anti-War during WW1 falsely comparing WW2 to that war just as people are now falsely comparing this to Iraq. That includes Suffragettes like the first woman ever Elected to Congress who even voted agaisnt the War after Pearl Harbor and Dorothy Day.

And even a revered Black Civil Rights leader who argued we should flat out root for Japan because they are resisting White Western Imperialism, his name was W. E. B. Du Bois.

I'm pointing out a mistake that The Left is repeating which they failed to learn from because they chose to forget it.

We are pacifists, which some people ridicule and even make fun of us for, but what they don't mention is that we practise pacifism like the French Resistance.

It is always the one that is underestimated in a crisis that is an unpredictable factor.

But the last laugh is on you!

The images may be disturbing, but they are Nazis, so there is no need to feel immediate sympathy for them; they did not feel any when they murdered millions.

Yellow fever, slavery, fear of devils, polygamy, and the killing of human beings for religious sacrifice are not inevitable, although once they were believed to be so. … So do pacifists believe that the institution of war can be supplanted.

Pacifists

Elwood solía ser una ciudad tranquila, sin mucho ruido. La gente disfrutaba los fines de semanas silenciosos, en un ambiente familiar que distaba bastante del ajetreo en las grandes ciudades. Sin embargo, con las nuevas medidas del gobernador, de pronto Elwood dejó de ser aquel lugar pacífico que todos esperaban que fuese. No era extraño ver a personas que no parecían de los trigos limpios y, pronto algunas desapariciones comenzaron a hacer ruido en las calles de la ciudad.

Elwood se convirtió en un caos y las personas nacidas y criadas en este lugar no estaban acostumbradas a esta nueva realidad. Ellas comenzaron a organizarse, comenzaron a manifestarse y son quiénes quieren que todo vuelva a la normalidad, que los “invasores” se vayan de la ciudad y que la localidad en la que nacieron vuelva a ser lo que siempre fue. Están seguros de que la culpa es del alcalde y de la poca seguridad que existe en la localidad, por lo que siempre alzan su voz, sin miedo a decir lo que piensan.

Se autodenominan a sí mismos pacifistas, porque quieren que la paz vuelva a la ciudad y porque todas sus manifestaciones son no violentas. Creen que deben ser distintos a los foráneos y es por esta razón que no combaten el fuego con fuego.

“The Air Nomads Taught Us Peace”

For a supposedly peaceful social group, the Air Nomads sure didn’t seem to shy away from violent animals, or violent games, or violent problem resolution, or violently killing a score of their enemy in combat. The world may be divided, but it seems these people all speak one language: violence
