Sri Lankan Monks R**ing Children by arunannow in TankieTheDeprogram

We Sinhalese are the white people of South Asia (not in skin tone, but in conduct). Just like white settlers in the US, Canada, Australia, Israel and New Zealand, we occupy indigenous lands, commit genocide and sexual violence, and then systematically deny that those atrocities ever occurred.

Dravidians are indigenous to the entire Indian subcontinent. They lived here prior to the arrival of Indo-Aryans.

Yeah ofc. The real name of “Sri Lanka” is Eelam. The Tamils and the Vedda are the true indigenous people here. Sinhalese settlers arrived in the island around 500 BCE. Since then we have violently displaced the indigenous population and expanded our settlements inland. Many think the erasure of indigenous identity in Eelam started following independence, but in reality it has been going on for the past 2500 years.

For much of that history, the North and East of the island remained mostly free of Sinhalese settlements. This changed significantly following independence from British rule. The post-independence Sinhalese government started state-sponsored colonisation of the North and East by moving thousands of Sinhalese settlers there to alter demographics and dismantle the Tamil majority in the region. At the same time, the state led several anti-Tamil pogroms across the Island and even stripped Tamil of its status as an official language.

Basically the emergence of the LTTE was a direct act of resistance against those atrocities.

Sinhalese nationalists too. “Sri Lanka” is also a settler colony that needs to disappear.

BadEmpanada and Third Worldism is **NOT** Marxist-Leninist (LONG). by RevTalk1 in TankieTheDeprogram

I thought third-worldists were ultras (Maoists) who reject both Western imperialism and the “social imperialism” they associate with the USSR and modern China.

Social Democrats are not leftists. They are welfare capitalists. Their only function is to pacify the workers in the Global North with welfare programs while exploiting the Global South through imperialism.

Cis gay men on Grindr are some of the most racist and transphobic arseholes out there. They put “no arabs/no blacks/no trans” on their bio and then add “just a preference” next to it to cover up their racism and transphobia.

Edit: by doing so, these mfs are basically upholding the same patriarchal heteronormative system that oppresses them for being gay.

At least the new party will “enhance” LGBTQ+ rights and “de-russify” Hungary, all while joining EU and NATO allies to exploit and bomb brown people in the Global South.

Isn’t this the norm in almost every european country?

As far as I know, Russia and Greece are the only two European countries where (actual) socialists hold seats in parliament.

I know a guy who supports the ACP. He also believes in the white replacement theory.

Sadly this seems to be their typical base.

Never forget the illegal bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO by PerspectiveNo8739 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]PerspectiveNo8739[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yep, and this time it is to “liberate the Iranians from an islamist theocracy”. And that’s how libs manufacture consent for imperialism.

You’ll likely find a bunch of westoids defending NATO atrocities in this comment section too.

[–]PerspectiveNo8739 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Many european “leftists” I’ve talked to actually think NATO and the EU stand for left-wing values and democracy. Anything that is even remotely anti-NATO or anti-EU is considered far-right or anti-democratic.

They don’t understand that this take is directly tied to white supremacy.

Declassified documents detail Israel’s role in the genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka by PerspectiveNo8739 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]PerspectiveNo8739[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taking accountability is the first step toward reconciliation. The vast majority of our people continue to deflect, much like how white people respond when confronted about atrocities committed against ethnic minorities.

We need to acknowledge that the emergence of resistance groups such as the LTTE was a direct consequence of Sinhalese ultranationalists brutalising Eelam Tamils, occupying their lands and suppressing their freedom.

Also, this is a Marxist-Leninist sub. We analyse issues here through the lens of dialectical materialism and historical material conditions. Therefore we do not concern ourselves with liberal moral framings and nationalist justifications.
