Graphic design is my passion. I’d say it’s maybe 50/50 or 60/40 for content. At least half nonsense.

He was right about 1984, it’s defeatist nonsense.

I want to know what the pamphlets say.

5,000 years of conflict over those fucking sand dunes.

You are not the Kwisatz Haderach and you have no clue what you’re talking about. The United States created ISIS as a proxy force against Syria, they destroyed social and economic reform in Afghanistan by funding and training the Mujahideen (leading to the creation of the Taliban and Al Qaeda) so they could lure the USSR into “invading” the country (and also went back to bomb them for a couple of decades, preventing any new development), they (along with the British) staged a coup against the PM Mosaddegh in Iran and propped up a backward monarchy leading to the reactionary rule today, and the colonial British created Israel as a European Jewish settler-colony directly leading to the mass slaughter of Palestinians and later the occupation of Syria and conflict with Iran, Israel of course now being propped up and supplied weapons by the US as a point of influence in the Middle East. This can all be boiled down to Western imperialism.

Conflict in the Middle East is not just children “killing each other all the goddamn time” for no reason who need to be taught rationality and brought to civilization by a redditor in a sheep’s clothing. You need to straighten out why the fuck your liquified brain is covered in maggots and instead of seeing a doctor you’re using your last moments of semi-sapience to mash your head against the keyboard and act like you’ve said something profound.

The US is already at war with Iran, attempting to starve the people of Iran with sanctions and engaging in proxy wars against the IRR, including with funding to Israel. Israel does not have the power to direct the US to attack Iran.

?

but Iran isn’t the anti-US champion I’m backing. The enemy of my enemy isn’t a friend I have principals and they don’t involve theocracies.

“The unquestionably revolutionary character of the vast majority of national movements is as relative and peculiar as is the possible revolutionary character of certain particular national movements. The revolutionary character of a national movement under the conditions of imperialist oppression does not necessarily presuppose the existence of proletarian elements in the movement, the existence of a revolutionary or a republican programme of the movement, the existence of a democratic basis of the movement. The struggle that the Emir of Afghanistan is waging for the independence of Afghanistan is objectively a revolutionary struggle, despite the monarchist views of the Emir and his associates, for it weakens, disintegrates and undermines imperialism; whereas the struggle waged by such ‘desperate’ democrats and ‘Socialists,’ ‘revolutionaries’ and republicans as, for example, Kerensky and Tsereteli, Renaudel and Scheidemann, Chernov and Dan, Henderson and Clynes, during the imperialist war was a reactionary struggle, for its results was the embellishment, the strengthening, the victory, of imperialism. For the same reasons, the struggle that the Egyptians merchants and bourgeois intellectuals are waging for the independence of Egypt is objectively a revolutionary struggle, despite the bourgeois origin and bourgeois title of the leaders of Egyptian national movement, despite the fact that they are opposed to socialism; whereas the struggle that the British ‘Labour’ Government is waging to preserve Egypt’s dependent position is for the same reason a reactionary struggle, despite the proletarian origin and the proletarian title of the members of the government, despite the fact that they are ‘for’ socialism. There is no need to mention the national movement in other, larger, colonial and dependent countries, such as India and China, every step of which along the road to liberation, even if it runs counter to the demands of formal democracy, is a steam-hammer blow at imperialism, i.e., is undoubtedly a revolutionary step.” — The Foundations of Leninism

Death to America

Remember them chanting “hang Mike Pence”? And up until the end, he was on their side.

I’m on their side too. It’s a shame they couldn’t put Pence out of his misery for the good of humanity.

If both resolutions were essentially the same, why did the US propose one and then abstain from the other? The intricate wording of these resolutions is actually extremely important, with deliberate choices made down to the letter. For example, the US resolution stated the “imperative of” but did not “demand” an immediate ceasefire; it’s like a fucking land acknowledgement with how pathetic it is. The only reason the US proposed their resolution was as a last-ditch effort to dilute the demands of the international community as a ceasefire resolution became inevitable.

Regarding their vote, China’s Ambassador Zhang Jun stated that the US resolution set up preconditions for a ceasefire (“supports ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire” “in connection with” the release of all remaining hostages), making it unacceptable, whereas the new resolution “demands an immediate ceasefire” “and also” “demands the immediate […] release of all hostages,” and so makes these matters independent demands without preconditions.

Wrt to the invasion of Rafah, the US proposed resolution specifically notes the inevitability of “ongoing and future operations,” noting only the importance of “measures to reduce civilian harm” thereof—this is the “effective green light” Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia was referring to, and further:

One of the earlier iterations of the draft resolution currently in blue said that the Council determined that “under current circumstances a major ground offensive into Rafah would result in further harm to civilians and their further displacement including potentially into neighbouring countries” and underscored that “such a major ground offensive should not proceed under current circumstances”.

This language was apparently challenged by a majority of Council members out of concern that it could be interpreted as the Security Council indirectly approving an offensive in Rafah under some circumstances. In an apparent attempt to address these concerns, in the third revised draft the US moved the language on the offensive from the operative section of the resolution to its preamble and removed text saying that an offensive “should not proceed under the current circumstances”, leaving text saying that “under current circumstances” an offensive would result in further harm and displacement of civilians. It seems, however, that many members were still uncomfortable with the reference to “under current circumstances.”

Please, show me the dishonest paraphrasing.

Get your fingers out of your ears. You are fundamentally unserious.

Ew those Ukraine and Taiwan flags. “Hmm, I support US imperialism so long as the proxy force can be construed as the ‘underdogs’ fighting the big bad.” You do realize there’s no such thing as “Taiwanese sovereignty,” right (forgetting that the majority of inhabitants of Taiwan do not want separatism)? There is no “Taiwan and PRC,” but Taiwan as a vestige of ROC claims, which include both all of mainland China as well as Outer Mongolia and parts of Russia (take for example the emblem of the Republic of China Marine Corps). You’ve fallen for nonsense claims pushed by the US to fight the PRC for influence.

As for Ukraine, it’s the same deal. Exploitation of “Ukrainian independence” and support for Neo-Nazis thereof goes back to the years of the USSR with the CIA’s Operation Aerodynamic dishing support to the Nazi-collaborationist OUN. The whole reason for the recent conflict is the US-backed 2014 coup, of which the rise of Nazism was documented by the Western mainstream such as the BBC before the narrative shifted to prepare for proxy war. Ukraine is littered with Nazi monuments, its institutions and leaders paying homage to Nazi collaborators [1] [2] [3], and the government putting full support behind Nazi fighters [1] [2]. It’s hard to paint Ukraine as the victim when Ukraine’s previous president, Poroshenko, said this of his policy on Donbass: “We will have jobs—they [Russian-speakers] will not. We will have pensions—they will not… Our children will go to schools and kindergartens—theirs will hide in the brments (cellars).”

Not in my Gotham City

Your “democracy” is not “flawed,” it’s a sham to the core. I’m sure the Afghan children that got drone striked under both Obama and Trump see a meaningful difference between the American political parties anyways; your “democracy” is crap and it would be better for the entire world if the US was carpet bombed.

And the fear-mongering surrounding Jan. 6th is so fundamentally stupid, seriously give me a conceivable way this tiny group of chud idiots who couldn’t even hang Mike Pence for the good of humanity could have fundamentally undone American society.

There are degrees of bad and Trump is worse, of course. “Someone who has fueled a genocide for 6 months with all-you-can-drop bombs” is obviously the lesser evil to the man who sent a bunch of brainless zombies trying to climb a wall with a set of stairs feet away to overthrow the US government.

There are degrees of bad and Trump is worse.

How?

“Our democracy” lmao

It’s absolutely absurd to compare the Western settler colony of Israel’s “relationship” with Palestine to the Russia’s relationship with Ukraine. Israel, since its inception, has been oriented towards the subjugation, displacement, and slaughter of Palestinians as a whole, whereas Russia is responding to Western-backed Nazi aggressors. Investigate Operation Aerodynamic, NATO’s Operation Gladio, the US and Nazi role in the 2014 coup, hell what do you mean nobody will fight for Ukraine? The CIA have trained soldiers and there has been billions sent in aid by the US.
