It’s like clockwork: amerika commits a crime against humanity. The same people organize protests at the same approved locations, and nothing ever happens.
This isn’t resistance. It’s a liberal ritual where you yell at the system while no real power is ever actually built. “Protest” becomes an emotional release valve, giving the illusion of action without the real commitment required to build power.
Some of these “groups” are addicted to losing and to the political theater that comes from the emotional catharsis of “protesting.” It’s all ambulance chasing, but you haven’t even built your own ambulance!
At some point, we have to question these phenomena and ask ourselves why the same groups have been doing the same thing for over a decade. At some point, misleadership becomes purposeful—not a result of a lack of consciousness.
An extract from one of Mustafa Abu Ali's most important films, 'They Do Not Exist' [1974], was born in response to former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir's statement: "There was no such thing as Palestinians". The film portrays scenes from the Nabatieh camp in May 1974
Venezuela does not need our symbolic statements, poems, and parades.
We saw the total failure of this "solidarity" strategy with Gaza.
Venezuela (and Gaza) need international military brigades. People to sabotage imperialist infrastructure within the core. Global revolution.
this happens in literally every community and for the same reason that ppl, aware of the shittiness of the world, don't take action to change the world. Because the cost of doing so is disruption to the reproduction of your life, and that above all drives most ppl's behavior
reminder that for writing & speaking truths like these, zionists planted a bomb in his car in lebanon & tore him & his teenage niece's bodies to shreds ... but martyrs never die & some truths are in fact eternal

Every day, I open people’s stories from the outside world, and I’m shocked to see that life still goes on elsewhere… a life so different from the one we’re living here. There are busy restaurants, universities, airports, electricity, safety, and streets filled with joy.
And here we are — completely cut off, forgotten, as if we exist outside of time. For more than two years, we’ve been trapped in this place, disconnected from everything. No water, no food, no electricity, no safety… even the most basic needs for survival no longer exist.
Why do we have to die here? We love life — we truly do. We have dreams we want to live for, small plans we once thought were normal, but now feel impossible.
We are not just numbers… we are human beings, suffocating in this siege, fading silently. Just because we happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
