    Americans when they don’t realize most of the West isn’t American, don’t speak English, and don’t generally oppose rebellion against oppressors. Ireland, for example.

      C’mon you can’t bring up Ireland as representative of the West when they’re the OG colony. By that metric the West is anti-Zionist.

        Sure add: Greece. Portugal. Italy. France. Spain. Armed antifascist struggles, may 68, general strikes, civil wars, guerilla groups, etc.

        Like the reductiveness of “West bad” is so insanely naive that it hurts.
