Lol @ the handwringing libs who think this isn't the foundations of the privileged world they live in

I get it though, I grew up in the US after 9/11 so of course I was propagandized to hell and back like every other kid. The number of times i heard adults just flat out advocate for a nuclear holocaust of the middle east.. When you're so young, and so used to being given logical-sounding reasons to cheer for the imperial boot, it's shocking to see people who actually ARE fighting for their freedoms, and doubly shocking when you see that they don't comport to our conditioned, pampered habit of pretending to be morally better than their opponents. They don't need to pretend like we need to, because their opponents are the people doing genocide and not some poor dirt farmers. But lest you think I don't have a consistent stance on this, let me break it down:

-Death sucks

-It's bad when families are killed

-it's good when nazis are killed, because then they can no longer kill families

-Ergo it's fine to celebrate and depict fascist death, in the same way you would depict a firetruck hosing down a flaming building; both are depictions of the saving of life.

I'm not making an account on your instance to read and reply to anything, so know that before anyone starts going all Winston Churchill at the upsetting prospect of dead fascists.

"Hmm can't fool me Ivan, you're just presenting facts that prove your point and make me look foolish, aren't you?"

The dastardly tankie strategy of knowing what you're talking about before you start talking about it.

    You're posting this photo because the video it's taken from shows him climb up on the tank, have a conversation with the tank commander, climb down off of the tank and leave without incident.

    E: literally 3rd result on YouTube, from the CBS news archives:

    https://youtu.be/FaojdRThXbY?

    "That doesn't make it any less impactful" Uhh yes it does, because the impact when this photo is shared without context typically comes from the implication that he was run over, like an American protestor might be.

    "Noo this is just like them, we have to be better"

    I'm not federated so I have to respond to this comment here.

    It's 2024, where did eight years of "being better" get you? Under the boot, that's where. "Civility" in politics is such brain poison, it's a matter of life and death, not a dinner party. I will take as much satisfaction as I want from the misfortune of my enemies, because spreading misfortune is their entire life and it's good when they're impeded. Fuck the big wet ex-president, I hope a titan boa squeezes 70 years of McDonald's grease out of him like a tube of toothpaste.

    That said, 34 convictions is only the first half of the punchline. The next big laugh comes in November, when red fascist beats blue fascist anyway and the big 8-year Mayan calendar at the DNC rolls over to 2016 again.

    Also, not to sound self-absorbed, but when Biden loses liberals will 1000% blame the left again. I only say so because I've been making an effort to be more public in my predictions, on account of being right so often.

    "Their terror attack" lol. My man, if the term terror attack was around in the 1940s, Hitler would have used it to describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. And make no mistake- this is a ghetto uprising. If you don't want people to make a violent bid for freedom, don't spend decades torturing and murdering them in an open air concentration camp with no recourse. Simple.

    Terrorist is buzzword that fascist states apply to people who stand up for themselves, who return even a fraction of the violence they are made to suffer every day. "Terrorist" is just "savage" with a fresh coat of paint. Every slave revolt and anti-colonial uprising in history has been tarred with the same brush.

    There is no Hamas without Isreal.

    The problem is that if your political world view requires actual study in order to understand and promote, you're never going to get anywhere when it comes to affecting real change.

    Two war-torn feudal backwaters transformed themselves into spacefaring superpowers in the span of a single human lifetime. History has shown that mass political education is possible and effective. I mean hell, we all have to be instructed as kids about the dangers of fire, and that works. I don't believe that educating people in Marxism is some sisyphean task any more than educating people in math. I think I can and has been done.

    If many millions of actual illiterate peasants who grew up with no school system at all can do it multiple times on different continents, it can absolutely be done here.

    you are trash and in a just world you and your family and those that supported you would be dead

    Super normal thing to say to people who are sick of being inundated with dehumanizing propaganda from a genocidal empire.

    There's a Hitler quote somewhere, in some letter that was like "we laugh at the fools who think our ideology has anything to do with the socialism of the bolsheviks"

    There was another one where he says "I didn't want to kill the Jews, but they're all communists"

    Someone with a better ability to keep track of sources than me probably knows where to find them

    We can fire you and sever you from your livelihood at any time, for any or no reason, with zero notice. You must give us two weeks notice to find your replacement before even slightly impacting our bottom line. Repat after me: we are a family.

    Tantrum behavior like doing mass layoffs in response to a labor strike, a la UPS?

    Of course. When workers stand up for their rational self interest, it's a tantrum. When bosses retaliate en masse against workers standing up for their rational self interest, that's just business 101.

    ...was pretty fucking scary. So was not being able to shoot after getting pepper spray in my eyes

    Now is a good time to learn from the misfortune of others: if you're armed at a protest, then you've taken on the responsibility of protection, either just for yourself or for others as well. It is therefore your duty not to be disabled by something as common as pepper spray. Get some goggles and don't go up front without em.

    Then you should know better than to be homophobic as a substitute for saying anything interesting. Self-reflection would probably help you to not embarass yourself in the future.
