UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter (www.theguardian.com)

The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...

Rogue state

Alsephina,

Liberals also don’t seem to realize Hamas’s strategies of taking hostages, using tunnels and guerilla warfare etc are identical to the Viet Cong’s, and so are their goals of driving out the occupation to reunite their country.

Also, “israel” has had — and continues to have — thousands of Palestinians hostage in its prisons for the entire 75 years that this colony has existed.

The native people have every right to use whatever means necessary to resist an occupation. Decolonization is violent; if you don’t like it, don’t colonize in the first place.

Vail cancels residency program for Native American artist over painting referencing Gaza (coloradosun.com)

The town reached out to Danielle SeeWalker in early January to offer the Lakota painter and muralist a studio and stipend, but backpedaled after residents complained about the politics of one of her paintings after it was posted to her Instagram....

Alsephina,

Considering it’s the US, the fact that it produced anything at all could be considered more than than expected

Alsephina,

I mean yeah this is what settler colonialism looks like

With the USSR overthrown, virtually all mainstream media now is capitalist propaganda. And the capitalist class obviously would not want the working class to prefer a system where workers are in power.

Alsephina,

Vocal participation in a genocidal system is endorsement of it. You can’t tell people to vote for one of the parties of Capital one year and then suddenly tell people that actually it needs to be overthrown and think that’s going to happen 5 years later.

At some point you have to commit to it being “broken” (actually working as intended of course) and organize based entirely on the fact that it is and can not be supported in any way whatsoever. We’re long past that point with the “lesser evil” party currently committing genocide.

Successful revolutions in the past have used elections primarily as a way to show the size of the movement, never by endorsing a party of Capital. Endorsing a genocidal party won’t stop them from committing genocide.

Alsephina,

As always, liberals’ “support” for national liberation movements only extends to words, if even that.

They’ll gladly support genocide in practice while capitalism gradually decays into fascism, as they’ve let happen in Europe in the past.

Alsephina,

Even more reason to ditch Unity!

Alsephina,

Crimeans overwhelming support Russia against the post-2014 fascist coup gov in Ukraine

People in Donbass too as you’d expect. They welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022 from the current fascist Ukraine gov

Alsephina,

That’s mostly been lemmy.world libs in my experience

Alsephina,

Hexbear is a leftist-unity instance of mostly socialists, communists, and anarchists.

Most people on Reddit are liberals (just look at how pro-israel Reddit is right now), so naturally alot of people migrating from Reddit didn’t like it.

Alsephina,

Socialist instance bringing up socialism 🤯

Alsephina,

Conservatives are liberals too, i.e they support private property and capitalism, even if western conservatives like calling anyone not far-right liberals.

The liberals that don’t support israel are left-leaning radlibs, and those are clearly not the majority of Reddit users as the last few months have made clear.

Alsephina,

Someone who knows little about politics should probably be asking questions rather than saying shit like “vote blue no matter who” when they’re committing a genocide

Hexbear is a strictly leftist instance; I think it’s reasonable for them expect someone saying shit like that to at least think they’re politically literate.

Alsephina,

Conservatives are conservatives because they’re completely politically illiterate lol; of course they won’t use terms like “liberals” and “socialists” correctly.

Alsephina,

deleted comments are complaining about pronouns

Hexbear being based as always

Alsephina, (edited )

Which just means “tolerating” the capitalist exploitation of workers.

https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/292a34a1-cf61-4923-9414-3f3d05540e11.png

It’s why liberals always passively “tolerate” the decay of capitalism into fascism as is what happened in Germany and Italy, and seems to be happening in the US. They oppose socialist revolution against the capitalist state, because fascism does not harm Capital.

"…the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’ ”

Alsephina,

Too late, I probably won’t buy this game anymore if they’re willing to do shit like this lol

Alsephina,

The US literally inspired the nazis with their treatment of native Americans, so I’d say yes.

“Fun” fact: The literal nazis found the US’s one drop rule a bit too extreme

Alsephina,

Given that Ansarallah governs over 80% of the Yemeni population with popular support from the people, yeah ig?

Alsephina,

Yup, it has to be properly organized and planned obviously
