U.S. signs off on more bombs, warplanes for Israel
  • What lack of material analysis does to a mf

    This isn't a war between Muslims and Jews over religion, and to dismiss it as that is asinine. This is a settler-colonial genocide with remarkable parallels to the US's genocide against First Nations in the 17 and 1800s

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender's Colonial Problem - Why Jet Was Right.
  • wants revenge and is willing to kill people just to satisfy that

    Revenge is good and it is the right of colonized peoples to seek revenge for the atrocities the colonizers inflicted upon them.

    Are we really going to Marxist critique a damn kids show for not killing the bad guy?

    Sure, because we can have better stories. Iron Widow is a Young Adult novel that's about fighting systemic oppression by brutally killing the bad guys.

    Disclaimer I did enjoy Avatar quite a bit and that's why the flaws rankle me so much. There's a lot about it that's good. I just wish it had committed harder to supporting revolutionary liberation then undermining its own framing by libbing it up.

  • Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?
  • Yeah the political theater is just that-- theater. Aside from occasionally checking in to laugh/sob at how awful it all is, I'll be devoting my energy to things that actually matter.

    As for voting, I guess if something local pops up worth voting for I'll vote in that. Nationally, the Democratic Party has shown its enthusiastic support for fascism and genocide so there's nobody I can vote for except maybe Cornell West or whoever the Greens or the PSL run. The one thing I know is, I won't vote for Biden or anyone like him. Arab and Muslim Americans are calling for a boycott of Biden, and it would be like breaking a picket line to vote for him, only 1000x worse becauase instead of exploitative work conditions it's literal genocide.

  • The Zapatistas have announced they are dissolving their autonomous municipalities in Chiapas.
  • Ok fair, yes. The issue of how to survive long term when there's a hostile state threatening and surrounding you has genuinely been one of my biggest reservations about Anarchism as a whole and is why I come down in favor of having a state

  • The Zapatistas have announced they are dissolving their autonomous municipalities in Chiapas.
  • Celebrating when our indigenous comrades suffer a setback in self-determination is not a good look. As MLs we should support their fight against Capital even if it doesn't precisely follow doctrine. There's much to be learned from Zapatismo.

    The Zapatistas don't even call themselves Anarchists or claim n Anarchist lineage. Don't be smug against them just to own terminally online anarchists

  • Who was worse, George W. Bush or Donald Trump?
  • There's no comparison. Bush has a much higher body count and was a more effective imperialistic mass-murderer. He certainly did his part to empower fanatics -- the wAr oN tErROr got all those racist bloodthirsty chuds baying for blood. As for eroding the facade of democracy, I don't know what you can call stealing the 2000 election and then ramming through unpopular wars other than proof that America has never been a democracy.

    Bush did immense permanent damage -- the millions dead by his policies and the aftershocks will never come back to life.

    Trump just rode the wave.

    People who think Trump was as bad or worse than Bush are just telling on themselves that they don't think nonwhite people living outside the imperial core are fully human.

  • Has anyone noticed how some liberals are disgustingly trying to equate the Palestinean struggle with Ukraine?
  • NATO provoked the war by encroaching on Russian borders. The invasion could have been prevented by just not trying to expand a hostile military alliance. Analysts across the political spectrum warned of this during the Bush and Obama years at least.

    Calling for Russia to get out of Ukraine without calling for a resolution to the provocations that caused the war in the first place is ignorantly delusional at best, deliberately disingenuous at worst.
