The AES’s struggle is against French imperialism at the moment, and are shedding blood *daily* to avoid being overrun by France-backed terrorists. But they’re expected to cut their own throats and accept ethnic separatism in Mali, and antagonize their neighbors for a photo op.

[Q. Ali @NobleQAli]

Most western leftists don’t even know what the SADR is, couldn’t explain to you the basis of Morocco’s territorial dispute, or why Morocco and Algeria have been in conflict since the 1960s. But they do know Israel, and that mental shortcut means a picture is more than enough.

[Q. Ali @NobleQAli]

This doesn’t have anything to do with Burkina Faso “normalizing relations” with Israel. It has much more to do with the AES’s support of Morocco’s land claims in the Western Sahara. This is a much stronger basis for criticism, but most people couldn’t tell you what that’s about.

After slavery ended in Barbuda, the Africans there were free to develop their own system. What they developed was a communal land system in which the land is owned collectively. For the past several years the people of Barbuda have been struggling to protect this system against efforts to overturn it.

Why I gave up looking for a teaching job amongst other reasons. Yet folks want to finger wag at the lumpenproletariat (the only class that is growing in America lmao) for existing and being absolutely furious and bitter at the reality they deal with.

[Silver @SxLongshadow]

@wilding_gyres Its not that people cant learn or wont work, its that they cant get offers, cant afford it or are denied bc controlling the reserve labor pool keeps the wages in these industries high and keeps brain drain from helping America's enemies and those it oppresses globally.

[Silver @SxLongshadow]

@wilding_gyres But then their wage labor would go down. Can't let the AMA and colleges pass more people who could get hired if we stopped the hospitals from controlling hiring as a conglomerate. This same thing though applies to every industry in america every one of the so called high skill.

[KHAMCHANH @KHAMCHANH]

Americans follow the strict hyper capitalist logic of income=quality of life, ignoring the cost of living, national infrastructure, and many other living conveniences out of reach for the average person. With that being said, Europeans use the same logic as Americans when comparing themselves with other Asian countries.

[Q. Ali @NobleQAli]

You want poor and barely-cohesive countries to commit suicide by global cop to fulfill your fantasies, and when they make the necessary compromises to simply remain alive, it's proof they were always frauds and traitors. This shit is exhausting, man.

[Q. Ali @NobleQAli]

This is the same type of MCU-brained criticism that people directed at Venezuela for capitulating to the US after Maduro's kidnapping, and to Cuba for publicly committing to economic reform after being blockaded and starved.

[Nina vs. the World @ninamonei]

Folks using words they don’t know the meaning of because they’ve seen other people use them is what be getting them cussed tf out. “Disingenuous” is an insult. You are calling someone intentionally dishonest - i.e: a liar. You don’t get to call people liars and go “why you mad?”

[Silver @SxLongshadow]

Individualism is a corrosive thing that makes you think you aren't the problem. That's why comrade critic and self critic are so important in vanguard formations and its a red flag they dont exist in modern orgs.

[Silver @SxLongshadow]

So many Americans want to wash their hands of involvement as if they were not alive during the propaganda to destroy teachers and push esp non white children into prison pipelines and away from education. They'll use every example they can to justify it.

All Western politics/economics no matter who is doing it boils down to "its their fault but not mine" to be successful in the West while you ignore the violence you engage in to be "successful" whether it's bombs for foreign countries or research that enables CIA operations.

[alonzo @grapplerronny]

Literally the US reservation model. This is why they groomed people my age to play open world video games normalizing these neofeudal cities.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

I don’t know whether the world is truly aware or is deliberately turning a blind eye to what is happening right now in Gaza.

But this is exactly how they are planning the so called “New Gaza” they keep talking about.

They want to impose oppressive camps inside the city, disguised as fake natural reserves, surrounded by harsh barbed wire that prevents anyone from leaving as if they are caging an entire population inside iron enclosures under the sky.

This is the “future” they are planning: tightly sealed prisons, all under the name of reconstruction.

Being kind and empathetic is not cringe.

[alonzo @grapplerronny]

Been struggling a lot because i no longer have anymore bandwidth for tolerating the way folks treat houseless, unemployed, partly employed and disabled folks right now. Absolutely evil shit i see coming out of these compatible left spaces.

[Silver @SxLongshadow]

Revitalizing the soil to not need fertilizers has never been an easier policy win layup that will get ignored by the electoral "socialist" camps because they are at their core still colonial-imperialists.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

For the record, people from countries that have never had a successful modern revolution need to learn to sit down and shut up more often when those with actual revolutions in progress are going about their business.

If Burkina Faso is receiving criticism from Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Cuban, North Korean or Iranian sources, such criticism can be taken seriously and acted on. The source makes the critique valid because they've actually been there and done that.

But if the criticism is coming from our chronically online brethren in White-istan, their cousins in Epstein-istan, and their eternally hapless southern vassals in Arab-istan and Afristan, it has all the value of a Child Rights bill sponsored by Ghislaine Maxwell.

If you haven't figured out how to stop your own taxes from being directly used to fund the wholesale murder of Sahelian villagers, Congolese shopkeepers, Iranian schoolchildren and Palestinian olive farmers; if your own government has revealed that it is controlled by a network of rich White-istanis who eat cute little white girls with pigtails and call their meat "jerky" and you did absolutely nothing about it except make upper case tweets with lots of exclamation marks, your opinions about Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso, the Sahelian Alliance, or any other anti-imperial project are completely worthless and nobody needs them.

That Palestine flag on your Twitter display name has zero revolutionary value and nothing you say has any value. At best, you're a cheerleader and nothing more. So stay on the sidelines, wave your internet pom-poms and learn to shut the fuck up while the actual players on the field get things done.

Rant over.
