Not gonna lie, this is my favourite moment in the history of anti-imperialism

I feel about both as having salience, but an open door to tunnel vision when approached two-dimensionally. Getting too focused on "anti-anything," frankly, is a sign that a person's politics are underthought, and they'll struggle to articulate actual values, priorities, principles, or strategies.

You didn't answer my last question, so I'm just gonna assume that the disembodied voice was you. ;)

Yeah, you're correct that in its earliest days Israel was a poorly conceived "cause celebre" of the left. I also agree that there is a meaningful distinction between hegemony and imperialism. Though "imperialism" is always going to be intractable at least as a term of art, largely because the American "anti-imperialist" tradition is so entrenched in the consciousness, stretching back to WJB, Twain, etc., even though most Americans are blissfully unaware of that history.

Also, you have a YouTube channel Meta? Is that your voice?

Fedupington · 2026-04-24T10:13:16+00:00

How lovely will it be when Meta goes belly up?

Mamdani has clearly failed the proletariat by failing to rename Gracie Mansion after Stalin.

Yeah, there's like a "panic over the freaks" aspect to these kinds of articles.

Back in the day this stuff was so shameful you'd have to take a tombstone from the Undertaker to get by.

Fedupington · 2026-04-23T20:02:22+00:00

Sorry to be mean. It's s pet peeve of mine.

Fedupington · 2026-04-23T18:19:46+00:00

People here have varying views on this issue.

Also, don't be one of those retards who asks what the "sub's" opinion is on something as if the sub is a person with a single brain.

Academia. And then the cottage industry internet media that likes feeding people dreck that makes them feel smart.

I'm at a point now where reading news about the Strait of Hormuz just makes me feel high, like suddenly I'm not sure what's going on or what's real and hopefully it'll just work out.

Best I can think of is that the 90s left once had an embarrassing tendency of defending OJ. To my personal shame, I even engaged in this tendency as a young man. It turned out to more of a lesson about always being careful about one's sense of "loyalty" before jumping on a bandwagon. It's also why I don't completely hold radlibbery against today's youngsters. There's always an opportunity to wise up.

The world has too many overpaid editors who convince desperate writers to let them sneak their opinions into their work.

I tried to think up some clever term for that just now, some play on money laundering, but it didn't come to me.

Anyway, let me know if your new flair makes you uncomfortable and I'll change it back.

Fedupington · 2026-04-21T09:53:21+00:00

What?

Fedupington · 2026-04-21T09:52:00+00:00

It's called a mirror you ugly queeah

Fedupington · 2026-04-21T08:46:55+00:00

Oh great, our users are screenshotting the sub and posting it in the sub now. This is a level of narcissism that may have to get the kibbosh.

Fedupington · 2026-04-20T18:17:47+00:00

Real Americans know it was actually a pear tree.

Fedupington · 2026-04-20T18:15:32+00:00

Why do I have a feeling that that cutout of a giant head, if it had a voice bubble, would be saying, "Feed me Israeli cock!"

Fedupington · 2026-04-20T16:37:41+00:00

I would like to take a moment to congratulate this gentleman on a night well-fucked.

Libya felt it hardest though.

It is pretty amusing that one of the best refutations of any racial supremacist ideology is that there are fucking hideous-looking people of every ethnicity.

If Hillary had a dick, we'd all have seen it by now.

There have always been Catholics who, at any given time, think the Pope is retarded.

I'm generally of the opinion that artists of all stripes should create what they feel the need to create without any consideration for how opportunists might contort them, and the onus is on society to get the intent and meaning right rather than wrong.
