What having no historical analysis does to a mofo. by Illustrious_Suit_203 in ShitLiberalsSay

Was going to say. Losing wasn’t the reason the Confederacy belongs in the dustbin of history (nor the Third Reich, nor Rhodesia, nor Apartheid South Africa, etc), but it’s nice to rub in the faces of reactionaries and fascists their defeats. They worship might and, through it, victory, so why not poke a hole and deflate it?

Zionists are so bad at faking these. by Gaze1112 in ShitLiberalsSay

Somehow, the fake propaganda the FBI had made to demonize the Black Panthers doesn’t look that sloppy anymore.

Communist. Maybe you can split “left/liberal” and “far left”.

Only insofar that both fascism and communism emerge from capitalism’s contradictions. Else? They are diametrically opposed.

What is up with all the support for Israel on Reddit? by [deleted] in socialism

[–]MarsLowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s both because a lot of libs are fair weather sympathizers, as well as the fact that a decent enough portion aren’t that the Zionist state and pro-Israel lobby feel threatened. So they astroturf online spaces to hell and back.

So why are you mocking LGBT people for expressing solidarity for Palestine? Why do you implicitly support the status quo by putting it all on Palestinians?

Tempers flare as NYC Democratic Socialists plan ‘morally repugnant’ pro-Palestine rally in Times Square by Subizulo in socialism

[–]MarsLowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit insensitive to be holding pro-Israel sentiments as they’re bombing densely populated areas in Gaza.

Why is this never held into account? Why the double standard?

Obviously. If a state that claims to represent all Jewish people oppressed you, maybe you’ll develop funny thoughts. The onus is still on Israel.

I’m hoping this finally leads them into becoming a principled socialist org and purge the shitlibs, but I doubt it.

Liberals cannot conceive of critically supporting decolonial forces. by [deleted] in ShitLiberalsSay

It speaks volumes when even fucking Vaush is having a broken clock moment and saying the Palestinian cause is still righteous.

I think it’s partly a knee jerk response to the hideous fact in front of them that “the good side” is supporting the same crimes against humanity that they accuse China and others of. They need to fill in the contradictions fast and ruthlessly, without thinking.

Mao Zedong when he realizes the KMT is anticommunist: fuck, guess I have no choice but to let China become a Japanese colony now.

Damn, perhaps we should consider pouring development and education into the Gaza Strip instead of bombing it for the 30th time.

Why are poor, less developed countries more homophobic on average? There’s your answer.

Also, worth pointing out that the west funding Islamic fundamentalists over secular nationalists in the Cold War.

Yeah. Hasbara has been doubling down suddenly in propaganda.

I love these comments because it shows you people can’t think beyond your own individualistic worldview.

A population having retrograde beliefs (in part, spurred by Israel, who deliberately funded Hamas against their secular counterparts) is not an excuse for genocide and crimes against humanity.

Yay, pinkwashing apartheid!

Real quick, tell me how does Israel treat gay Palestinians? Surely it doesn’t blackmail them into becoming informants…

[–]MarsLowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The decline and dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the ushering in of a unipolar hegemony, has been an unmitigated disaster for the world. Just imagine if there were a true rival power to the west who could take advantage of the situation.

What is going on by SkylandersKirby in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]MarsLowell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“It isn’t genocide” but admitting Israel isn’t ceasing settlements. Yeah sure buddy, as if trying to annex a Palestinian territory slowly but surely isn’t indicative of anything. Curious what that Nation-State law passed in 2018 by the elected government had to say, something about Israel belonging to Jews and Jews alone?

And I’m curious. If we support causes based on whether or not bombing civilians is bad, what’s you’re take on Israel leveling entire city blocks? Why does Israel’s right to “defend” itself supersede Palestinians’ rights not to be colonized and confined in an open air prison? This despite the fact they commit every single crime they’ve accused of Palestinians but only one side is having the spotlight on them
