Instead of self-fellating, you could’ve just stated your actual view but we all know it’s not worth hearing either way

How tragic, even here in the US, it’s about 700 people who die annually from freezing. Things must be really bad in the UK if this is happening. I think China needs to intervene to implement democracy :(.

It literally looks like footage spliced together lol

This one got the KKKrackers mad

Sounds crazy when you put it that way

Most of the casualties that day were military. Of the civilians casualties, a sizeable portion if not majority were killed by the IDF. As the electronic intifada pointed out, the IDF spent the course of a day bombing people with Apache helicopters, and accounts from Israeli hostages and security personnel confirm the shelling and bombing of houses that had civilians in them. This has been confirmed by Mondoweiss.

There is growing evidence that indicates that Hamas along with the other fighters in the coalition were indeed acting defensively.

Nuh uh, Elensky is actually a communist spy working behind enemy lines

I hear alot about this “trotsky was the successor of Lenin” line…where does it come from?

Being bullied by zionists into condemning Hamas is weak shit tbh.

Actual zionist supporters live very ineffective political lives, and the most expression they have is online.

“I remember specifically”… Damn, I’m sorry you had to survive on only vinegar and matches, grandpa 🤣

Im curious if there’s even an attempt to reconcile that in your friend’s brain or did he just kinda wave it away?

Lol, what the dude said and the headline are completely different 😂. The commander has a seemingly level headed take that there might very well be a stalemate, but the headline is so out of whack.

RIP 🥲

Damn, this post got a lot of traction

What was it called?

It’s a spiral of chicken. I wish there was more context to it. It looks very mysterious.

Happy cake day, here’s a spiral of chicken

It’s hard to keep up with what they’re talking about (modern philosophy blows), but my takeaway is Lenin rocks

Patriotism in the context of fighting in a war of literal self preservation and patriotism in the context of Americans just existing on a day to day basis are pretty different things. Everyday Americans aren’t victims of aggression of foreign invaders. Trying to isolate these quotes and ideas in a vacuum isn’t really encompassing of them in their entirety.

Patriotism has nothing to do with “being proud” of anything.

In America, it very much does, and again trying to isolate these ideas in a vacuum isn’t taking them as a whole. The reality is that in America, Patriotism, nationalism and jingoism might as well be the same thing. If you, as a Spaniard, want to be patriotic based on your understanding of the word then go for it.

despite what fake patriots (meaning the bourgeoisie) would want you to believe, your country is made up of its people, its not an abstract idealistic idea of “America” or any other country

When I say America, I’m talking about the government, it’s long history, foundation of oppression, and the willing participation from individuals in furthering that oppression for their own gain.

“you cant be patriotic of imperial core countries” and that if you do you are proimperialist is ridiculous

I never said this. Go back and read what I said. I said that in times of trouble and in war especially, ideas of patriotism have always been subordinated to the will of capitalists. In America, trying to hold on to the term patriotism in the hopes that people one day wake up and realize that well actually, patriotism is actually this socialist notion of love for your people and national liberation from the bourgeoisie is naive and will always be futile in the end. Trying to maintain your own specific definition of the word and not taking into account the historical and current conditions it exists is like trying to swim against the current. You end up getting swallowed.

Also i dont understand what your last sentence is about, i said nothing about nationalism.

There i meant patriotism, not nationalism. I was in the car typing fast.

I’m a US citizen, and it’s hard for me to see what’s there to be proud of. The identity of the working class? Perhaps, but at that point, it’s being proud of something that, imo, is so far removed from the idea of America. It would be a bit strange for the bolsheviks to fidget over whether they should have been proud of being part of the Russian Empire at one point, and for me, it’s quite the same as patriotism in imperial core countries.

The supposed message of being proud of the working class in imperial core countries always seems to get subordinated to the will of the capitalists in times of trouble and in war especially. Also, I don’t think that nationalism is necessarily a prerequisite to caring for the collective good of people in your country.
