Let’s talk about the Beit Lahia protests. Western media’s attempt to label them “anti-Hamas” is deeply misleading - and here’s why:
The majority of placards and chants are demanding an end to the genocide. Palestinians are pleading for basic rights, food, water, and the right to live.
Yes, some anti-Hamas chants are heard, but there’s no evidence to suggest these protests are solely “anti-Hamas.” By generalizing them, Western media shifts blame from Israel’s destruction of Gaza, its massacres, and its blockade that’s starving and suffocating the population.
This narrative also fuels Netanyahu’s claim that “the plan is working,” emboldening Israel to justify the illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing of Gaza they openly advocate.
i don’t doubt your willingness, i doubt your ability and effectiveness; you can’t plan and fight something that your environment won’t let you see.
the m/l methods i’m using to fight the ruling class have proven to be durable enough to outlast 2 centuries worth of varying incarnations of multiple ruling classes and benefits from the writings of “lessons learned” from people that have tried (and failed) various strategies in those last 2 centuries.
ignoring these “lessons learned” and advocating for further rounds of try-and-fail strategies against opponents who HAVE taken to heart their own “lessons learned” is not going to make difference.
if you want to fight the ruling class effectively, read m/l theory and apply it to your life.
Well, I doubt your ability as well. All I see you doing is accepting a fascist government, and being a hypocrite. Which is why no one takes you guys seriously.
i wish that were true since that would mean the likes of malcom x, or fred hampton, or MLK jr could still be alive imparting needful wisdom upon the american popular consciousness; or that institutions like the school of the americas, the imf, or the icc would not need to exist; or that needless violent & bloody conflicts like the korean, vietnamese, both iraqi, afghani or ukranian wars would not need to happen; or that episodes like cia induced regime changes and the extra judicial arrests & suppression of the politically active students that’s happening now, wouldn’t need to be a thing.
instead; as history has already proven; we’re going to end up with increasing levels of fascism thanks to propaganda induced ignorance coupled with the wilful ignorance on display here, that perpetuates doom scrolling and the despair that makes the people within your ranks checkout/disengage from the political process that enable political victories for likes of trump, or poilievre, or le pen, or weidel, or meloni, etc.
You wish what was true? I think you’ve lost track and are just doing that thing ML does where they ramble on and on as a way to shut the conversation down.
I’m not going to say that the US government is good, or better, than another government. I’m not going to excuse them for anything.
The reason no one takes most ML seriously is because of hypocrisy they spew. The constant belittlement of “western” society meanwhile blindly ignoring similar atrocities in the east.
Perhaps you’re different?
Do you agree that greed, tyranny and authoritarian rule should be exposed and opposed regardless of where it is from? That there is no excuse whatsoever for a government to impose such power on its citizens? Whether that country is the US or Russia, or North Korea, or China?
even maga agrees that greed, tyranny and authoritarian rule should be exposed and opposed and i wish you were different; this is little more than hypocrisy that liberals spew to make themselves feel superior to maga.
that list you willfully lost track of is definitive proof that our ruling class considers us to be their only true threat and your disregard for it is classic way that liberals shut down the conversation; there’s no way to tell the truth to heavily propagandized people without it sounding like belittlement.
Tell me the truth in a single sentence and then hit send.
