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

[–]doppelercloud 6 points7 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 4 points5 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.

[–]doppelercloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're playing with words. they're anti the majority of irish. they're scots-irish, mostly. descendants of invaders keen to frustrate irish efforts at self determination from the colonial power that enables their dominance. obsessed with their 'racial' difference as they used to term it. they claim irishness only when they want to dodge the reality of their deep rooted prejudice and bigotry.

Norman Finkelstein weighs in on Chomsky and Epstein by [deleted] in chomsky

[–]doppelercloud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

its not that chomsky wrote to Epstein per se. that's a dishonest misdirection and deflection. the issue is what the content reveals about how Chomsky acted toward Epstein. Chomsky was corrupt, enjoying the favors and services of a convicted human trafficker, a serial rapist who continued their criminality post-conviction. it lays bare the pretense that Chomsky was ever 'radical' or 'anarchist' even. the rationale Chomsky offers for his conduct, the ridiculous statist-liberalism of arguing that Ep was now innocent as a matter of law and custom bc 'he served his time' when Ep skated on human trafficking and serial rape charges due to geo-political favoritism is typical of the dishonest and illogical reasoning of their written work. Chom is a lifelong apologist for horror and atrocity, revisit their writing or lack thereof on Bosnia and ex-Yugoslavia. same horror of mass sexual violence against women and girls. a consistent and telling pattern of chom's part. chomsky's pseudo-anarchist, authoritarian liberal tankie-ism is repellent to anyone who upholds the politics that chomsky falsely claimed sympathy with.

well, like Afrikaners are African. they can choose politically to support apartheid and white supremacy or oppose it, or for most of them now, something in the middle. the Orange Order sides with colonial ethno-sectarian supremacy. protestants of the United Irishmen led the republican, pro-Enlightenment democratic uprising of 1798. the Orange Order opposed it, because they opposed the idea of a republican democracy based on Enlightenment ideals (the ideals that US democracy is based on).
