I agree

If you think Chomsky has justified any US war you are delusional. And yes, Russia's interest is in expanding access to the Azov and Black Sea at the very least.

Ukraine is fighting for its sovereignty.

The US is after the minerals within Ukraine. Russia has already gained the major resource of land. Both have interests to expand their sphere of influence, both have taken advantage of Ukraine for their own ends.

You can strawman all you want, but as a leftist I will continue to criticize the imperialism of every empire. It's not hard to be consistently anti-imperialist.

"Two fascists collaborate to plunder and steal the land and resources of sovereign nation"

"We The People" only referred to white land owning men. Even with the expansions of reconstruction, women's suffrage, and civil rights (all won by working class organization and opposition) our entire representative democracy has been designed to the benefit of capital owners. Neoliberalism just shifted that into overdrive.

Russia strongly condemns any actions that lead to the death of civilians and destruction of social infrastructur

Except when it comes to Ukraine

Russia only cares about undermining US imperialism as far as replacing it with Russian imperialism

Hamas are still terrorists who are holding their own people hostage.

This is literally Israeli propaganda to blame the occupation, the Apartheid, and the genocide, onto Palestinians who dare to fight for emancipation.

The existence of Hamas, and any armed resistance movement, is directly due to the decades of violence experienced daily under the permanent occupation, the Apartheid State, of Israel. It's impossible to understand their existence if you don't understand the lived experience and material conditions they are forced to live under. There is no such thing as a perfect victim when it comes to anti-Colonialist resistance, not for the Vietcong, the IRA, or the ANC either. Can you condemn the violence of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in the same way as the violence of the Warsaw Ghetto?

In the Shadow of the Holocaust by Masha Gessen, the situation in Gaza is compared to the Warsaw Ghettos. The comparison was also made by a Palestinian poet who was later killed by an Israeli airstrike. Adi Callai has also written on the parallels in his article The Gaza Ghetto Uprising and expanded upon in his corresponding video

Adi Callai has also done a great analysis of how Antisemitism has been weaponized by Zionism during its history, as well as an analysis of Franz Fanon and Identity Politics in the context of Colonialism and Anti-colonialism.

No need to be an asshole about it, chill. Everyone has their blindspots

Sure, I don't subscribe to the conservative framing of societal standards and I won't normalize their framing

I call them fascist, personally, but the Democratic Party is too scared too.

Sure, I base weird off of whether people empathize and respect others so I don't consider LGBT+ weird. I find someone who wants to take rights weird, not people just being themselves

I'm not, I'm pointing out that even that miniscule amount of pushback during the campaign was well received. You seem to be the one opposed to even that

The Democrats are a controlled opposition, genuine opposition must come from grassroots organization and solidarity. Peaceful opposition backed by militant support is preferred, but I'm completely on board with revolution as well discussed by Franz Fanon

Things our Representatives can do to fight back, delay, and obstruct Trump's fascist agenda:

You don't find Republican policies that dehumanize immigrants, attack women's rights, and demonize LGBT rights weird? To put it as nicely as possible, fascist policies are weird

Where's the proof that it alienated voters? The vox article has evidence voters received it positively

Is the text "ULTRA CONCENTRATED" not clear?

Nice projection. Read it or stop talking to me

Read the chapter

No, weird was a successful offensive attack on Republicans that was both popular and was great at making them get flustered and double down on their weirdness (which is itself an incredibly charitable way to describe their fascist policies)

As an American, please boycott us (and Israel), this Fascist empire needs to crumble quickly
