Why is Jackson Hinkle considered a communist? Isn’t he a republican?

The two are connected. Western civilians were willing to overlook the crimes of their governments against the world and themselves as long as they were provided a comfortable living. As, for example, Roosevelt found out, if you allow a whole generation to grow in impoverished conditions, seeing the injustices perpetrated daily on their parents, their communities, their country, and the rest of the world, they grow up to become radicalized and revolutionaries. This time, however, the Western governments have no third world to exploit to bribe the masses, hence they are eating each other. As Rosa Luxembourg said, the inevitable outcome will be socialism or barbarism.

Don’t let the right wingers keep lumping centrists in with us leftists.

The Palestinians were brought from elsewhere? This is ultimate projection.

Even if the non-combatant non-Palestinians who were killed were actually the majority and they were killed by Hamas, it would still be their fault to a varying extend. We have:

1. People who consciously decided to be colonial settlers and gladly accepted to occupy a Palestinian house just a few kilometres away from the Gaza fence.

2. People who had previously supported Israel and its armed thugs, who once were armed thugs themselves, and who decided it would be an excellent idea to run out of buildings and run towards said armed thugs, thinking they’d save them.

3. People who consciously decided to attend a music festival right next to the world’s largest concentration camp.

EDIT: Also, look for no further proof of Hamas’ and Hezzbolah’s moral code than their battle videos. Firstly, their transparency is unparalleled compared to any other armed force in the world. Secondly, they film almost everything, and they don’t do it “for propaganda” but for posterity, since everyone ignores their struggle and successes otherwise. Thirdly, their videos are easily verifiable, since they include precise location and dates. So what do these videos show? Exclusively fighting against military targets, ambushing soldiers, attacking bases or destroying military vehicles. Even from just the news, we know they never target civilian centers. So fuck this narrative

That’s a lot of assumptions to make an argument.

Ok, so Zelensky has banned opposition parties, arrested political opponents. And furthermore he cancelled elections that were supposed to happen next month. Will you be condemning Ukrainian conscription then, since the government will neither be democratic or legally elected?

So the 15000 civilian deaths caused by Ukraine bombing its own provinces before Russia intervened, the constant efforts by Russia to resolve the issue diplomatically, the naked refusal of the West to even engage with Russia, the West openly backing a fascist coup in Ukraine, and then arming it with the explicit dictate of provoking Russia, the West pressuring Ukraine to not accept the generous settlement offered by Russia in May after the war started, all that doesn’t count?

It’s not like Russia has never done any of those things individually.

Iran’s missile strike wasn’t just successful. It established that Israel will be levelled if it escalates.

I’m gonna play devil’s advocate, reluctantly, and say he probably mentioned Germany because it’s the side that lost both wars, and that would change history significantly.

On the other hand, what kind of maniac would want Nazi Germany to win WW2? Nazis gon’ nazi.

Some of these pictures (like the one in the bottom left) were taken before the US toppled the democratically elected government of Mozadegh and the installation of the Shah. Other pictures show tourists (middle left) or show elites attending university (top left, middle right). And I can’t recall where I saw this, but those 2 photographs might have been staged for a university brochure as well.

His first comment isn’t wrong. What companies mean by “innovation” is new ways to profit off you.

Israel has declared that victory would mean the utter destruction of Hamas. It’s been months and that victory is nowhere in sight. Hamas keeps inflicting heavy damage to the occupiers, both through direct battle and by exposing the murderous character of the IDF.

Meanwhile, Israel’s economy is in shambles due to the war, especially due to the 2 million Israeli refugees from the border with Gaza and with Lebanon/Syria, who have been unemployed for months and demand compensation. Also the blockade being imposed by the heroic Yemenis.

Support for Netanyahu is at its lowest (less than 20%), and he knows he’s going to jail for corruption charges unless he manages to turn himself into a hero by winning this war with Hamas, or by provoking Iran/Lebanon into an attack that would elevate him to a defense war-time prime minister.

This is why Israel has been so provocative as to attack Iran’s embasy in Syria. This is why they keep making comments about being “ready to strike nuclear facilities and airfields in Iran”.

And this is why they keep trying to create drama around the invasion of Rafah (oh when will it happen? We dont know but it’ll happen! Yes but when? Everybody’s anxious! It might not happen! Oh no a date will be announced they said!). Israel is trying to create the impression that if it invades Rafah, it will have achieved victory. They are making a narrative that there is the only place where Hamas still stands (which is false) and no matter what happens, the moment they invade they will have utterly destroyed Hamas. Netanyahu probably plans to exit the war after that point if his ploy succeeds with the Israeli voters.

Israel doesn’t really “hold” any territory in Gaza. They sent in big groups to set up a perimeter somewhere around a building, shoot anything that moves, take some pictures, then retreat back out. Every time they’ve tried establishing a long-term perimeter, they ended up getting ambushed from behind and mauled.

These headlines, so far at least, have been mostly cases of people misunderstanding how the war is prosecuted by Hamas and Israel.

That’s what he did by placing his foot on the tank and pushing.

They probably lump together “the gay feminist agenda” with being anti-imperialist or socialist.

Same here. Except for a few quality small-scale subs, everywhere else was like a depression generator. Most political discussions on Reddit were like hearing children talk about sex.
