“The western world” in politics doesn’t usually refer to geography, but to the high income euro-amerikkkan countries who benefitted from hundreds of years of theft (much from the countries you mentioned), who based themselves on individualism, private property, and capitalism, and prided themselves on their opposition to the collectivist policies of eastern countries.

This is why Cuba for example is not considered part of the western world, yet japan and south korea are.

Marxists also generally use the term “global south” or “the periphery” to refer to lower-income / exploited via unequal exchange, even though there are some “middle” / lower income countries in the global north also. It gets confusing I know.

These are all incredibly weak justifications wrapped in legalese, that’s really just a thin posturing as to their position, which is white/western supremacy, and refusing to hold themselves accountable for hundreds of years of ongoing theft. The EU also refuses to vote for the condemnation of nazism using the same type of legalistic justifications.

I don’t have time to go through each of their sentences, but someone easily could ala the style of Marx’s critique of the gotha programme, because there’s hidden meanings and psychology behind almost every sentence that requires a paragraph.

Okay then, we’re taking all your stuff. When your kids want it back, we’ll say:

Capitalists control the political system of the US. Its not a democracy, it’s a capitalist dictatorship.

What health-care systems it used to have, were only to quell decades of worker struggles fighting for equivalent health care systems the USSR was putting in place in the 1920s.

No but someone should make one.

Syncthing was made for this and has been around for almost a decade now.

“The dying serpent always bites”. The roman empire went out like this too, overextending itself with a lot of imperialist wars, then devolving into internal strife and instability until it hollowed out and everyone left.

Today the US and Israel bombed and killed 85 people (mostly children) in an all girls primary school.

Death to amerikkka

First two months of 2026: The US kidnaps one country’s leader, murders another, and kills hundreds of civilians in two failed regime change attempts.

Death to the burger empire.

No probs, same. If it’s a “trump says” source, then it’s immediately sus and we need at least a confirmation from the other side.

I feel like its a goal of the MIC as it gives them a reason to exist. Use violence, terror, kill civilians to create more enemies and justify more military spending.

Not a good long term strategy, but the orphan crushing machine still has people willing to operate it.

They also bombed and killed several members of his family, including his daughter, granddaughter, and son in law.

There aren’t any articles from irib yet, but multiple sites say that irib confirmed it live on TV about half an hour ago: https://p.dw.com/p/59bSu

That and the condescending arrogance of “bombs are not the best way for Iran to accept our form of democracy” stuck out too.

So much coded language in here.

We desperately need an anti-zionist german language lemmy server.
