Stupid tankies >:-(
What yesterday’s events have shown is that who gives a fuck what liberals and western “leftists” think? It doesn’t matter, like at all. Push comes to shove, they see themselves in the oppressor and supporting the downtrodden is just a cultural aesthetic. And even that, they will abandon in a hurry.
Who cares, they will never support the oppressed. No one needs their lame ass permission to fight back. Spineless cowards.
Oh you think its okay to defend yourself? Authoritarian tankie
You don’t understand. It’s like, this uprising does not live up to my insane Western standards of a perfect revolution by putting a ballot into a box, you know.
Why didn’t you just call your local congressman?
Modern liberals: “The American Revolution was the best and most wholesome revolution ever!!!”
Liberals if they lived back then: “The colonists are using violence to gain independence, why can’t they just be peaceful? They’re a bunch of violence loving terrorists, I’m siding with the British Empire.”
well to be fair here the colonists were mainly mad at being constrained by British treaties from massacring the natives so the founding fathers are a much better map to Israel in this situation. It’s also not undue to speculate that the strong abolitionist movement in Britain at the time that led to the fact Britain would ban the slave trade was a concern on some level to a colony that made its money off of slavery. infact there is some evidence that the relative popularity of abolition was a factor in the American desire to break from Britain
There are a lot of good reasons why someone might fight the British empire so it’s a true testament to American ingenuity that they managed to find an evil reason

“Americans can be trusted to do the right thing, after they’ve exhausted every other option”
Are you sure, most of the time the Yanks double back and try an exhosted option agian
Real
Something about “the right thing” just seems to?frighten amerikkka to the core
well like I said they actually did the wrong thing because they only took independence so they could make things worse
I’ve heard the american revolutionary war described as “Brexit but for slavery” and I feel like that really hits the nail on the head
The colonist militias did heinous shit. They massacred entire indiginous tribes “just in case” they were on the British side.
Liberals have this image in their head of a perfect victim that fights a just battle against the cinematic evil oppresive force. They’d rather support Palestinians as harmless corpses than as a liberation force killing their oppressors. And since they see events in a vacuum, they will side with the ‘victims of agression’ again.
The only consistency in liberal ideology is zero awareness of History
Palestinians have to be a “perfect victim” to be even the slightest bit sympathetic, and even then it’s not a guarantee.
The Palestinian struggle for liberation and self-determination is “no angel” and in this essay i will
There’s a truly disgusting amount of both-sidesing on the liberal lemmys.
Such is western liberalism; the only correct action is to be subjugated under imperialist rule. Only then will you deserve pity, and pity is all you’ll get.
This is the level of pacifism the west gets on whenever anyone physically resists genocide:
This is idealism on steroids, jfc what a complete idiot.
Yeah, Gandhi is a shithead propped up because the liberal view if passive submission to state violence is politically useful for maintaining control. The British really gave up in India because Gandhi said he was no longer going to tell the armed factions not to fight, and the Brits decided they couldn’t afford to fight a real rebellion.
GANDHI ACTUALLY FUCKING SAID THAT, WHAT THE FUCK!?!?"
It wouldn’t be surprising since he’s the same guy that went on hunger strikes whenever his people would violently oppose the British.
The Western media always says that he was a peaceful man and we should be like him. When I became a Marxist, I started to see his methods as ineffective but Jesus. Fucking. Christ. I never knew he was that bad.
This is why libs revere Gandhi while villainizing Mao, Castro and Sankara.
Reading about history was my road to Marxism.
Reading the history of India’s decolonization and the use of violent opposition, in particular, was a major moment for me.
When I first saw this quote, it really put into perspective why non-violence is held as the only option by the hegemon.
Becoming a Marxist shows you that Gandhi was a villain that is propped up by the west in the name of non-violence
Weirdly, Gandhi supported violence when he volunteered Indian men to fight for the British military in Africa.
Make your libs read How to Blow Up a Pipeline, which really should be called “Why Nonviolence Is Shit and Has Never Worked”
wait until you hear about his exploitation of children cw: CSA lol
I’d be disappointed if it wasn’t so predictable. Instead I’m just disgusted.
And the disgust is mostly at the arrogance: they seem to think they have moral authority. If Israel sets off nukes, Westerners will make excuses for it.
If this liberation of the global South succeeds, the West will continue to be insist on being treated as first among equals in international discourse.

Of course this isn’t just relegated to Marxism though the article focuses on it. There is broadly across the west this myth of peaceful resistance, of the noble peaceful resistor, of the noble martyr whose death brought about change without ever lowering or debasing themselves to shedding blood or engaging in violence themselves. This broadly connects back to the Christ mythos, Christ a figure who was martyred so the Christian religion says to save all of humanity. He died nobly we are told because he did not call upon all the powers of heaven to smite the oppressors, because even in his dying throes of agony he screamed “father forgive them” to stall the wrath of heaven. And through his glorious, noble, peaceful, pacifist sacrifice we are told all may have eternal life through belief rather than perishing.
So the west is very obsessed with this idea and it stems from I believe this and of course is actually propagated in school teaching and so on with figures like MLK and Ghandi because it supports the hegemonic domination of the west, the submission of the proletariat, perpetuates ineffectual tactics which are handily beaten down with laughs and hands the participants trophies while regaling them with revisionist tales of how it didn’t work this time but it did this other time as long as you ignore all the violence and other pressures that actually led to the victory falsely claimed in the name of non-violent, peaceful, and non-disruptive protest.
They don’t even want housing to be built because it will reduce their home values, supporting oppressed darker skinned people is asking a bit much.
Absolute trash
No child and family unless they are Palestinian apparently.
