The whole situation is the result of Israel’s land theft, apartheid, suffocating blockade on Palestinians in the first place.

Something I’m aware of but try not to think about
Yes it is. You’re just conditioned to think politics is this inconsequential mental game that has no impact on people’s lives.
I don’t know if you’re just being cheeky but this is not a useful approach at all.
I preordered this physical book on release and was really excited to read it but I could never finish it unfortunately. Got bored somewhere in the middle.
Funnily enough this is actually comforting
I have no problem believing that real people behave like this. I wish the reactionaries didn’t invent and abuse the ‘NPC’ meme because it’s literally so applicable to this exact scenario.
Also escalating to war over Taiwan? Redeployment of troops in Philippines, making new nuclear alliances (AUKUS, attempts to expand NATO to East Asia.) So yes, a lot of counts of bloodthirsty warmongering. Regardless of your politics, these actions are undeniably escalatory. Just saw your username. Unsurprising.
This is one of the posts in the last couple of days that prompted me to post this thread.
It’s not a petty matter at all, It’s not possible to formally recognise both countries. RoC has territorial claim over the entire Chinese mainland. The one China policy is the bedrock for every country’s diplomatic ties with China. Americans really are a people obsessed with war.
Do you support the US ceasing diplomatic relations with PRC in favour of ROC and going back to the time before Nixon made rapprochement?
I thought this was a portrait of Adolf Hitler with a pride flag background at first glance 😂
So empowering! normalise bringing your kids to work! /s
Crosspost bot is a great idea. I’ve manually crossposted before just because I wanted to show a particular news story to a broader audience.
I know a friend of mine had a kinda bad experience with ACP as well. Do you really think they’d be supporting concentration camps? Cause that’s pretty extreme and I’m very skeptical that they’re that bad. Even most libs would oppose that.
Geez it’s not like he’s a fascist or something. A lot of people have to reckon with friends becoming fascists. If you don’t see eye to eye that’s another thing and maybe just let yourself fall out, you clearly have different upbringings and maybe this is part of why you’re not on the same page. Otherwise personally I can’t really see why a friendship should fall out over a different brand of leftism. From the way you write I’m guessing you’re in a Western country which means it’s purely a theoretical disagreement. It’s not like there’s an active revolution underway.
That’s really interesting I hadn’t heard that before.
People tell me the sentiment is the same in China
Personally I try to be a bit more charitable, despite the fact that these people would probably call me a tankie. I don’t agree with their line on these issues, but these groups (I’m also thinking about Socialist Alternative) tend to do some good work when it comes to domestic issues, so I try not to bash on them too hard even if their politics on global socialism are dogshit.
Brilliant idea for a universal front end. If the user experience is seamless so that the hosting service doesn’t matter that would be such a good way to transition to freer platforms
