Or, alternatively, this might be part of a deal for France to flip. Turkey already did the same thing, so they wouldn’t be the first in NATO.

What fucking “”“pressure”“”?

Zionism isn’t even religious. It’s ethno-nationalist.

Why isn’t that in the sidebar, then?

I think old news can become news again when new developments occur.

What I’ll give you is that OP should have included those new developments in the body of the link, so that this conversation wouldn’t have to happen down in the comment section. I don’t think they were wrong to post it without that context, but it would have avoided our bickering.

I think you took the wrong lesson from that lol

The US and EU have no room to judge Israel, that’s true.

I sure as fuck can judge them, though, and I do and so should you.

Is that the line? Everything before was fine, but this is what caused them to lose your respect?

Try reading what I said again because you clearly misunderstood it.

China is very consistent on this issue bud.

I know that’s hard to believe when everyone else is so craven and two faced, but you should educate yourself on these topics before speaking.

We all left. Who are the people that stayed behind?

Also bots.

queermunist, 11 days ago

Hell yeah, time to put up or shut up.

He did it because his people demand it, so in a sense you’re right, but his people demanded it for humanitarian reasons.

It sounds like you are under the impression that imports are bad for the economy.

queermunist, 11 days ago

Immigration absolutely helps the US economy, because it parasitically siphons all the skilled workers out of other countries that it underdevelops and hoards their labor for itself.

People think remittances help underdeveloped countries, but labor is the superior of capital, losing that skilled labor is never worth the paltry sums that get sent back home. It’s just another shape that imperialism takes.

People make their own history, but they do not make it as they please. Our material conditions limit our agency. We go where the jobs are, where the money is, where the possibilities for a better future are. Those are all choices.

But you can’t ignore the material conditions that lead to those choices. We aren’t just free floating agents in a sea of possibilities.

queermunist, 11 days ago

Yes, and the people who could develop that local opportunity aren’t there. They all leave as soon as they can.

That’s why I said they’re underdeveloped countries. They’re not “developing” in truth, but are being kept from becoming developed. How do you think that happens? In part it happens because of the IMF giving predatory loans and then imposing austerity on the people when the government can’t pay their loans back, but it also happens because labor is the superior of capital and these countries are losing skilled labor.

I am not blaming them for leaving their countries. I am blaming underdevelopment, which is a product of imperialism.

I think you may have misspoke. You said I’m removing their agency. I did no such thing.

Don’t misunderstand, the people moving to the US are blameless. Imperialism works by siphoning up all of the skilled labor around the world for itself in order to make life better for people within the imperial core, and this is part of how the imperial nations underdevelop other countries. People get educations in their home countries (often at the government’s expense) and then they take that education out of the country to put it to use in the US (or France or Canada etc). They’re just going where the jobs are, though, that’s not their fault at all.

Egypt is also a useful case study, because the US props up its shitty government. That’s also part of how the Global South is underdeveloped, it’s a multifaceted machine that sucks out everyone who can help make the country better and gives support and resources to the people making it worse. It’s not just legacy from the 20’s and 50’s, this is an ongoing problem that is created by imperialism.

Also when a Global South government tries to solve its problems, such as through nationalizing resources or land reform, the US buries them under sanctions and attempts to make a regime change. This, too, is part of how imperialism underdevelops the Global South.

A large police contingent that showed up four hours into the attack waited in the grass across the quad for an hour as dozens more attacks occurred.

Were any of these Zionist rioters arrested?

queermunist, 12 days ago

I guarantee if any anti-genocide protester defended themselves they’d be arrested.

queermunist, 12 days ago

That’s a much smaller number than I expected.

I’m skeptical that there’s been any inflation. All deaths that have been recorded have been directly identified, names and identification papers and everything. There’s no way to actually exaggerate, unless they’re hiding survivors somehow.

lol we’re all going to die
