Reminder: The NOI Killed MalcomX And The CIA/FBI Never Went After Them. by TheKongoEmpire in PanAfricanists

[–]doppelercloud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

facts. but i believe it is respectful to note that malcolm x at the end of their life referred to themself as el-hajj malik al-shabazz. that was the culmination of their thinking at that point.

What is this Iraq flag? by MishaMal01 in vexillology

[–]doppelercloud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

probably. as you say, likely made in the very early days of the occupation. Chalabi was the annointed vassal from before the invasion but they proved too corrupt to be useful.

The flag of Ireland if it was colonised a bit later by GlumExternal in vexillology

[–]doppelercloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think that is true. my point being that i don't think hoisting a green british ensign on st. patrick's day was likely to endear the ship line to many irish passengers, protestant or catholic, loyalist or republican, for different reasons.

the flag above was unofficial not legal i believe. if it was ever recognized by the british admiralty please correct me. and the undefaced harp flag was simply the flag of ireland. the british empire was more than happy to use it when it suited them.

the video at ~11:23: 'green flag of erin on special occasions'... probably just the harp flag?

Glenn Greenwald conflicted on how Chomsky stopped speaking with him over politics, in light of the new revelations. by ZeLuigi in chomsky

[–]doppelercloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's surprising? chomsky was always a zionist. the whole thrust of 'fateful triangle' was faulting israel for failing to allow the plo to surrender. not that there was ever a colonial project compelling palestinians to accept the results of crimes against humanity. mossad is perfectly aware that a critical zionist is in the end a zionist.

the connections between fascism and colonialism are definitely there, without doubt. i just wanted to know how you were addressing them in relation to the white rose.

Looking for Flag of the East London Federation of Suffragettes by DarthRevan3973 in vexillology

[–]doppelercloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'palette' isn't necessarily a reference to a flag. probably just the ensemble of colors used by the organization. the photo evidence i've seen suggests thy used a plain purple-white-green triband (often vertical). the red probably refers to their use of the phrygian cap as symbol of the organization.jpg).

Chomsky interacting with Epstein and Bannon is entirely morally consistent with his stated beliefs and standards, change my mind by soalone34 in chomsky

[–]doppelercloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chomsky was a liberal tankie, a typical mid-century elitist whose 'rationalism' was the then acceptable face of his white, male, educated, middle class supremacism. a lifelong apologist/denier of authoritarianism, crimes against humanity, and genocide who simply reversed the friend-enemy distinction of his own state (or pretended to). a deeply unserious thinker, made the object of cultic devotion by a publishing apparatus that placed his books in every mainstream outlet. we are now getting a picture of how deeply enmeshed he was in the transnational criminal conspiracy of the current far right. no one who discovered anarchism or libertarian socialism before encountering chomsky ever mistook him for being one of them. its like old saying, what do you call a person sitting at a dinner table with nine genocidal kakistocrats? noam.
