The Israeli military leaders admit, according to the Times, that their advances have “been stymied by a Hamas infrastructure that was more sophisticated than Israeli intelligence officers previously assessed.”
Ah, yes, Hamas’ many aircraft, tanks, satellites, and sophisticated eletronic surveillance systems have tipped the war in their favor.
Oh, wait. No, they just mean tunnels.
I really used to buy the propaganda that IDF was one of the strongest militaries in the world, especially with so much US aid, but these motherfuckers can’t even handle some tunnels.

I have to admit I’m a little nervous asking this. But how can one read more truthfully about what happened in Soviet Union with regards to gulags with forced labor and purges or executions of innocent people? I say ‘innocent’ because I know reactionaries got ‘caught up’ in that and, frankly, I don’t care. But it’s hard to know how far that went and how it impacted innocent people, as many people have said that it did and Khrushchev mentioned in his (in)famous speech.
For the record, I don’t think Stalin was total evil Communist bad guy and that the ‘wrong enemy’ was defeated in WW2 and other crypto-fascist interpretations. I’m not saying that because some innocent people were killed under Stalin that therefore Stalin is evil, the same critique can be laid against the US (the suffering of innocents in its own prison system, for example) and it is more than likely far more guilty. I also don’t really think Holodomor was an ‘intentional genocide’ or whatever, I know that is overblown by fascists. And I know lots of good happened in Soviet Union for common people but I also see it as a flawed system (only natural given its context in the world, no hate there) with a flawed leader (also natural given human beings) but how can Leftists better understand what happened with regards to the use of violent repression by the USSR? Or how is it reconciled, for lack of a better word, with Stalin as a leader to still uphold?
Among anarchists it’s easy to just dismiss, and sometimes there is truth in the critiques, but I’m trying to also grow politically after many years so understanding what happened to dissidents and non-reactionaries is important to me in my understanding of how to view Stalin, in particular. When I was a kid I had a flag of the USSR in my room, then I found myself in anarchist spaces and highly critical of USSR, now I’m older and less idealistic and I know things are messy and it’s honestly a miracle that Communism even had the chance it did with USSR despite flaws so I’m trying to understand it and honor it better.
I don’t know if that was a clear question, sorry, kinda not doing great right now so I’m having a hard time formulating this while also assuring that I’m not a raging ultra (not anymore anyway) nor lib about it but would love to hear about this.
Every once in a while I read a new poll showing how historically unpopular he is. How do you think people individually and in groups will react to this seemingly inevitable (to me) result? How will society react and, if possible, change?
It’s not about making a convincing case or appealing to logic or reason, it’s about liberal suppression of dissenting views to preserve a worldview that was already archaic when it was first mainstreamed in the US in order to deny ethnic, sexual, class, and religious minorities a seat at the table with the ever-present and looming cudgel of fascism as the failsafe.
Absolutely!
Although, we at Hexbear happily live under an authoritarian Communist dictatorship with a Great Firewall of our own and as such we do not see downvotes. Downvote me all you want, libs.
