I hope all the vote bluers are enjoying the blue fascism that they claimed would be happening under trump.

Manila, Philippines โ GABRIELA strongly condemns the upcoming "largest" US-RP Balikatan Exercises scheduled for April 2024, where approximately 16,000 troops from the US and the Philippines are expected to participate, with more than two-thirds of them coming from the United States.

GABRIELA asserts that increased military activities and the presence of foreign troops lead to the proliferation of militarized prostitution. This form of prostitution is exclusively geared towards servicing the military, as part of its rest and recreation (R&R), and can be seen in areas where US bases are located, such as Clark in Pampanga and Subic in Olongapo.
Palce also stresses that militarization perpetuates a culture of impunity, where crimes committed by foreign military often go unpunished due to the unfair treaties such as VFA and EDCA.
With the AFPโs announcement of testing the Israeli-made air defense system in their US-RP military drills, Palce states, โThe Marcos Jr government has remained complicit through its silence on the Palestinian genocide. Yet, it is now welcoming the same type of bombs that have killed thousands of Palestinian women and children into our land.โ
This year's Balikatan Exercises, frequently conducted in Central Luzon, will expand to "key locations" in western Palawan, an area experiencing heightened Chinese naval activity. Additionally, the military drills will include Mavulis Island, the outermost island in Batanes province, situated just 200 nautical miles from Taiwan's Orchid Island.
GABRIELA emphasizes that the Balikatan exercises blatantly disregard the Philippines' national sovereignty by effectively transforming the country into a "huge US base" with unrestricted movement of US troops.

GABRIELA calls on all patriotic women to unite and defend the motherland from foreign military intervention that could inevitably drag the people into wars and conflicts.

Growing up with the resistance meant never doubting its inevitable victory.
The dream will never die, even when we die, we die so the dream can live on.
The dream is to die a martyr for Palestine.
The dream is Palestine.

shouldn't need to be said but if you call yourself an "anarchist" you should be a anti-imperialist before all else. imperialism is the unjust hierarchy, the injustice from which all other injustice flows. it's all well and good to care about transphobia and patriarchy and racism and capitalism within the imperial core but, unless you care about the world system that all of this is service of, you aren't really opposed to unjust hierarchy in any meaningful sense

the U.S (and its vassal states) is basically anti-culture. Like, it was built on the eradication of various cultures, and to this day it bombs or facilitates the bombing of homes, libraries and places of worship. anything culturally good the u.s has produced in its short existance (and keep in mind there are outhouses older and with more culture than the u.s) is overshadowed to an incredible degree by the sheer volume of culture it's bulldozed. anyone saying the u.s' allies are 'creating art and culture' (like zionists say about israel) is misinformed at best and severely racist at worst.

Next time Israelis bust out the tired "khamas are violent terrorists who just hate us jews for no reason!" instead of wasting energy trying to carefully dismantle their ignorance (in which they won't even listen in the first place) Why not aggressively embrace the stereotype as a form of reverse psychology? "A vote for bart is a vote for anarchy"
Yes we do hate Jews for existing
Yes we will seize your house and your honda civic
Yes from the rivers to the sea is a genocidal slogan
Yes we are using our civilians as meatshields
Yes there is no genocide in gaza, we are just built different
Yes we will destroy Europe and Amerikkka next
Yes we will personally paraglide into your luxury NYC penthouse and behead you in the name of Jihad.
We are ontologically evil and solely driven by bloodlust

I don't know a great deal about pre-20th Century American history, so when I was wondering what William McKinley did to deserve getting shot, I hit his Wikipedia page as my first stop, and
At this point I'm thinking two things:
Surely no actual human person would phrase it that way.
Yeah, that'll do it.
