Same, honestly I would even say I tend to hate them more.

At least with many (not all) of the openly “”“honest”“” fascists, you can see where they’re coming from even if they’re repulsive people, you can see what ideological brainrot and perhaps even traumas have led them down their path. At the core of liberalism on the other hand is a lack of principles altogether, a lack of anything other than infinite selfishness and arrogance.

Pretty much, the only ones who want such a war are the west. It’s really remarkable TBH, the entire rest of the world is, however flawed, seeking peace.

They still have a bourgeoisie but there is major proletarian influence.

I think this is where you get it wrong (IMO). They may have a bourgeoisie, but those are not running the show. Personally I would put it as- “They still have a dictatorship of the proletariat but there is some bourgeois (influence/existence tolerated in favor of development over dogmatism)”

The levers of finance remain in the hands of the state. The levers of industry remain in, and where not, accountable to, the hands of the state. The party itself actively works to punish corruption both within and outside of itself, has mass grassroots participation/membership, and evaluates itself and local government/cadres/etc based on tangible improvements in the livelihoods of the masses.

Couldn’t agree more to everything you said.

I think a lot of people see it that way, a culture they traded for dollars and a box set of Friends

And when you put it that way, oof. Not white but my parents traded much of theirs off for the bible and that didn’t turn out well (as an understatement). Europe and the west will be spending a long time recovering, or trying to recover, from the “whiteness” they inflicted on themselves.

As someone whose partner is white I think I understand them a bit better seeing your comment as well. For me even if I wasn’t raised in it and reconnecting with it is something I’ll be doing all my life as a result, the identity and pride in it has always been strong (thanks to being a minority- the choice is either pride or shame IMO). I’ve often thought being white and having such easy assimilation must be both a blessing and a curse- but seeing you put it that way makes it sound even more wretched yet.

You too! :D

Wholly agree, but my comment was in regards to the fears of “white replacement/etc” in Europe. Your description of how it was in Yugoslavia is a great example of what true diversity and civilization is supposed to be IMO- in comparison to the western notion of the ethno-state (or white nation-state) and where they reject the end result of people and cultures intermingling (ie. how ridiculous “”“white genocide”“” by… miscegenation, immigration, etc is). Yugoslavia was how it should be, and what I described in my prior comment is how the west divided, conquered, and carved up the nation IMO.

Honestly IMO I think Russia and the BRICS nations could be a step towards the direction where these immigrant populations are more of a boon to their original countries than not. Russia and China in particular are two countries that could be and are doing a hell of a lot to not only export their economic/industrial model (and also collaborate academically, etc) abroad, but also bring people from around the world to see it in action, to see the culture, etc, and develop ties with them firsthand.

People are not just “lost” once they leave, and that this has often been the case is absolutely intentional by the west (destabilization, imperial plunder, etc) making the migrants’ home countries destitute and dangerous in comparison, etc. And the knowledge of development and connections between people can absolutely be exercised for good and the benefit of both nations involved, particularly when they can return to their home countries with the assistance and support in recreating or building upon what they saw abroad (something the west has always interfered in on their part).

Both countries are working extensively with the global south, China with its countless BRI/etc projects and Russia as well in its Soviet history as well as presently with security assistance, debt relief/etc, and even helping build a nuclear power plant in Burkina Faso as one highlight that comes to mind (I’m sure there are others, just haven’t looked into it). There’s no reason that all this training/experience/etc could not be increased with talent coming to these countries to study, or with large student/worker exchanges to really develop a culture of solidarity and multipolarity. And if people wind up staying- particularly those from much less developed or unstable countries- there’s still no reason they cannot be to the benefit of both countries in facilitating increased trade and cooperation, or even returning with Russian/Chinese/BRICS/etc support in due time to further develop their home countries in the end.

IMO while you’re not entirely incorrect, you’re thinking of things n the zero-sum model the west has imposed upon the world- there are other opportunities available, and the Soviet Union’s history of doing similar, or China’s presently (both without the mass immigration bits, though some immigration did and does occur) are examples of it. It’s a more complex and in the short-to-medium-term, more expensive process than the western way of doing things, but I think the end result will be far better for everyone involved.

Agreed, Russia has its golden opportunity to revive and recover at least in part from shock therapy. Now if only they’d take it…

Fingers crossed- admittedly while I of course am on the opposite side of these racists, hopefully someday they shall wake up and find themselves minorities or only minor majorities in their countries. not because it is “racially better/superior,” but because the diminishing of the cores in this aspect can only ever be a good thing and I’m all for it (and karma is hilarious)

Serves them right for having such a weak, pathetic, and completely artificial concept of “”“whiteness”“” which falls into chaos when their cartoonishly strict “phenotype” is deviated from, or when someone is Muslim, etc…

Admittedly, were it not for voices like those of Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal, and Aaron Mate among others (and anti-Zionist Jews I’ve talked to or seen online and in person) it would be hard not to as well. Even as is it is- not hard exactly, but it is a matter certainly resisting and reeling myself back from the instinct when I do see such absolute vileness draped in Judeo-washing (no different from pinkwashing/etc I guess) Zionism.

German police classified Greta Thunberg as “prone to violence”

It’s like they’re trying to inspire the hatred of the world with just how hard they crack the whip for Isntreal… I must admit, even as someone whose partner is half-German and who would want to like the culture, and as someone who knows “not all (or most) Germans” it’s somewhat working, certainly for the idea of Germany as a state (Morgenthau might have had the right idea).

Not even milquetoast libs(?) like Thunberg can escape Germany’s antics, and if I’m not wrong they try to exercise their reach across the west (western govts being more than happy to let them do it and take the blame also, I guess). Germany is truly in a wretched (and infinitely cucked) state.

They did the same (but to a less extreme extent) in southeast Asia (the “golden triangle”) and of course in Afghanistan. TBH wherever there is organized crime (esp. drugs and human trafficking), terrorism, religious extremism and cults, fascism, or tribalism/separatism, look deeper and you’ll find the CIA

This is not figurative. She thinks US government officials are literal demons.

They may as well be, TBH. The US govt is made of humans with the mentality of demons (settlers), and this lady as well as a good chunk of the US populace and that of the collective west (fingers crossed as to whether it reaches majority numbers or not- I feel it’s probably close but not quite there) have that same “effectively demonic” settler-imperialist mentality.

I’m saying this as an atheist who doesn’t believe in demons (seeing the horrors inflicted upon Gaza, it would be awfully nice if there was a hell however). Yeah, sure, this lady is dangerous, and a threat to decent society. The whole socioeconomic framework of the culture she lives in is also equally dangerous and worse, and people like her are a dime a dozen. It’s just the truth of living in the shithole west, not saying that’s ideal, but this is the nature of the system and this is what the system intentionally creates and promotes. Decent society would either institutionalize and attempt to re-educate this lady or throw her in the cuck pit if necessary, here in the west she could probably make a hell of a career (literally) in politics or showbiz (no difference really)…

Agreed, when and if the empire falls- particularly depending on the circumstances- I would argue that the entire world, and whatever regimes come next for the west, should see to it that all the various mini-Goebbels (and not-so-mini-Goebbels) are hunted down, rounded up, and tried and hung at Nuremburg. They have the deaths of tens of thousands, sometimes even many millions, on their hands- there can be no forgiveness, and certainly they cannot be left alone, they must answer to their crimes.

Agreed, Iran doesn’t have a choice- much like Russia, also. And sooner or later (by the US’ own talking heads’ words, likely sooner) they will force the war they want with China also.

The rest of the world doesn’t have a choice, arguably (accurately IMO) they never did, but now it is more evident than ever before. I can only hope they meet every escalation from here on out with equal and greater force, and end the threat of the imperialists decisively when and if the time comes no matter what is required- even as someone living in the cores, IMO it has to happen or humanity is doomed, likely to extinction but also to many things far worse than it, such that when it comes it may well be a mercy.

I know the spirit once existed (Bandung conference, etc)… and then tragically was lost across most of the world and even amongst many AES, as imperialism started moving to more covert means in most parts of the world. I guess my hope is that it returns, and with a vengeance that will never be forgotten (honestly, if humanity forgets again- we’re doomed, our species’ short generational memories will have doomed us).

On the one hand I get they want to make the zionists look strong, but on the other wouldn’t it lend itself to greater urgency and frothing rage if they met the Iranian narrative half-way

I think the answer is simple. Isntreal is a settler-state, and it is a settler-state which has not succeeded in eradicating the indigenous peoples to such an extent that they are the minority (when one considers the surrounding Arab and Muslim-majority states actually, rather the opposite).

They have to maintain the image of the “untouchable ubermensch.” Psychologically they have to, but also strategically; all they offer the local peoples is terrorism and genocide, so they must ensure that all the local peoples (who number more than them) fear them more than they hate them. This is also exactly the same as how colonial forces across the globe acted- with the promise of extreme and inordinate terrorism- to maintain their rule, and to create the circumstances where they could establish rule to begin with.

The other older settler-states have similar dynamics, but have had more time and space (through the successful and extensive genocides and conquests they engaged in- ie. through their successful lebensraum/Manifest Destiny) to settle into a more “lax” phase of settler-colonialism, where the genocides take a quieter, more low-key form of suppression. They all had the same foundational psychology however, and will all generally act in the same way Isntreal has if provoked. And of course, the examples of all the failed settler-states (Nazi Germany, French Algeria, “Rhodesia,” British Kenya, Apartheid South Africa, etc. and even the resurgent indigenism within parts of Latin America) show what happens if the settlers cannot succeed in genociding off the vast majority of the indigenous peoples of an entire geographic region.

Honestly hope we see these sorts of talking points across the global south in my lifetime. Everything the west has is projection, but the world would be infinitely better off if the global majority truly joined arms to defend actual freedom and the democracy and sovereignty of nations, from its greatest enemies (the imperialists)

Seeing Mexicans, Brazilians, and (presumably) Jordanians claiming this- I’m not surprised, as the US basically owns (or influences to such an extent it effectively owns) much of the mainstream “local” media around the world.

How is the mainstream sentiment, though? I know that much of Latin America deals with… considerable amounts of cracKKKerism/comprador-ism, but most countries are not generally as cursed as the imperial cores all the same. Hopefully this is severely weakening these media sources and the western influence on public opinion?
