@itsBrettG@Bantustanised@BadEmpanadx "Awareness of this fact is very low among the people uncomfortable enough to revolt"
That's the issue. Americans are too comfortable to do anything meaningful.
@itsBrettG@BadEmpanadx What the US does/has done to leftists worldwide is incomparable to wtv the US govt has done to its own leftist citizens. U guys always frame urslves as the biggest victims bc u cant handle the responsibility that comes w/ living in the imperial core & just wanna larp as radicals.
@instidile@DreamLeaf5@DomainDead American progressives are pathologically stupid I stg you're not authorities on anything except supporting child murder
@instidile@DreamLeaf5@DomainDead "black liberals in the US are trying to push this "what have Palestinians done for us" narrative" is the discord being sown, not the negative response to it lol
@ItsAllAPsyOpz@BadEmpanadx People leave poverty-stricken and war-torn countries all the time - if it truly is that bad in america you would see americans leaving in significant proportions yet that doesnt happen.
@ItsAllAPsyOpz@BadEmpanadx People from all over the world move to America and there isnt a comparable trend going in the opposite direction. Very very few Americans choose to uproot their lives to live elsewhere. That doesnt indicate a discrepancy at all to you?
The anti Yemen propaganda is funny because ultimately America isn't going to do shit. Saudi Arabia can't do shit. All cope no action. The new west strategy in the Middle East. Just more western chauvinists imagining their opinion is worth something
The world moved heaven & earth to rescue the Oceangate sub & the team in the Tham Luang cave
But nobody is moving a muscle to save 100 souls trapped beneath a collapsed building in Gaza.
Gazans are literally digging through the rubble with their bare hands. The bare minimum is to press Israel to allow excavators, trucks & fuel. There’s no reason why Israel is still banning those life-saving equipment from entering Gaza!
@Kirkiy3m@Dave_Brophy Very normal to suggest that kids visit the place where the IOF murder children daily.
Also the post mentions a daughter and her "peers", not "girls".
Hey everyone I'd like to apologize for the post I made last night when I said "Children deserve to have legs." I didn't realize that statement was offensive to the Jewish community and I will choose my words better moving forward.
A plan is being developed to convert Europe’s car factories to military production. The German government is actively pushing tie-ups between its “beleaguered car industry” and its “booming defence sector”. Volkswagen’s Osnabrück plant has already been handed over to the Israeli arms company Rafael to manufacture parts for the so-called Iron Dome – the purpose of which is to allow Israel to carry out its genocidal and expansionist project without fear of retaliation.
It’s a bad strategy on multiple levels.
It’s bad politically, because it feeds three ongoing disasters: genocide in Gaza, the proxy war against Russia, and the criminal US-Israeli war on Iran and Lebanon. Binding European industry to those projects doesn’t make Europeans safer or more prosperous; rather, it makes the continent a permanent logistical rear base for wars decided in Washington and Tel Aviv.
It’s bad strategically, because it deepens Europe’s commitment to US geostrategy. The German car industry is “beleaguered” for well-known reasons: Berlin joined the sanctions war on Russia and cut itself off from cheap pipeline gas. It cheered on a war on Iran that sent energy prices through the roof. It failed to invest in technology or its workforce. It limited its cooperation with China. All these decisions essentially serve a US agenda. And now the proposed remedy for a crisis manufactured by Atlanticism is… more Atlanticism.
It’s bad economically, because arms production is not a sound industrial strategy. Sustainable growth comes from housing people, educating people, keeping people alive, productive investment in transport, green energy, modern supply chains, etc. Developing the means of production, not the means of destruction. Ordinary people in Europe are already paying the bill for this madness in the form of energy costs, inflation, austerity, wage stagnation, crumbling services and infrastructure. European arms companies are doing well, but the mass of the population is being impoverished.
Europe has a choice: it could use its industrial base to build the green transition, cooperate extensively with China, restore normal relations with Russia and Iran, adapt to multipolarity and pursue a policy of indivisible security. Or it can pin its hopes on the US-Israeli war machine.
They will tell you that "Islamic terrorism" is different because it's global.
Because it crosses borders.
Because it recruits internationally.
Because it has ideological coherence that transcends geography.
These things are true of ISIS at its peak.
They are also true of American foreign policy.
American foreign policy crosses every border.
Recruits internationally, in the sense of building coalitions.
Has ideological coherence, democracy promotion, free markets, rules-based order, that transcends geography.
Has produced a human toll on a scale ISIS never remotely approached.
Nobody calls it American terrorism.
Nobody calls it a civilization-level threat to the people on the receiving end.
Nobody calls for the surveillance of American communities or the monitoring of American ideological literature.
Because the question of whether a coordinated, cross-border campaign of violence that kills civilians counts as terrorism has only ever had one answer in mainstream Western political vocabulary:
Not if it's us.
