If you've never ever turned on the news to see a burning pile of corpses in a city where your true love lives ,

where that one final tiny soft spot left in your heart went to school and lost their first tooth and hugged their grandma,

then I don't want to hear your opinions on imperialism and war.

From “Euromaidan Was a CIA Coup” to “Russians Are Too Passive to Ever Change Their Country; It Needs to Be Done from the Outside for Their Own Good”, I give you The Songs of Western Leftism, a record so bad it made me want to shove my tits into a deep fryer.

I feel like the root problem of american tankies' shallow ideals is redirected american exceptionalism. Internet and globalization has caused them to realize that that they're not in fact the best country in the world as school etc has told them. But instead of understanding that they have problems just like the rest of us (though tbf, their ability to cause other nations harm is unmatched) they now flipped to saying that the us must be the worst country in the entire world and the source of all evil. They cannot comprehend that non-americans are perfectly capable of doing the most heinous shit and thus assume that behind every war or conflict lies a us conspiracy and influence - because surely non-americans are just so innocent, naive and primitive and unlike americans lack the cunning to advance their political goals without help by the US. The fact that not only the US government but also its enemies can be vile at the same time and that sometimes they can even be on the good side is completely beyond them which is why they are never truly against imperialism, genocide or opression unless it is done by americans or their allies.

#tankies #leftism #uyghur genocide in china #russian invasion of ukraine #that's why these simpletons believe every enemy of the us government must automatically be good #or why war and torture and rape are ok when they happen to who they consider white because to them they are just extensions of americans #western european tankies suffer from the same deficiencies btw #vita.txt

I’m supposed to believe the United States Funded Puppet State of Israel is the safest place for Jews, when there’s constant war and bloodshed? News every other week of how many of our people have been lost? The same United States that funded ISIS to put pressure on the Middle East and China?

The western propaganda machine didn’t really iron out the kinks in that one. It’s almost like they send us off, through “birth-right trips” and “right of return”, and hope we get caught up in the crossfire.

Land back to Palestine! VIVA PALESTINE!

You were right about tankies. They do not talk about tiananmen square. They do not talk about Tibet. They do not talk about uyghur. Wtf. No how is this possible? What?

The thing is that most white and western leftists are exactly as racist, imperialist, ethnocentric and tinhatted as right-wingers. For Global South people there's literally no difference in interacting with them sometimes, even if they talk more sense by virtue of their leftist politics. In that, they have a lot in common with liberals; they say all the right things until they're challenged in any meaningful way, which is when the mask slips.

Self-serving, egoistic people aren't saved by reading a bunch of political posts and books. True dedication to social justice requires humility first and foremost, a solid set of ethical and moral hard lines in engagement, and constant self-interrogation. It has to be moved by compassion for your fellow human and sense of accountability, not ideological fanaticism as result of personal disenfranchisement and sense of victimization at being excluded from privilege. Marxists (not even just Tankies) love to accuse conservatives and liberals of unquestioning ideological servitude and selfishness without ever looking in the mirror. They have absolutely no racial or decolonial praxis because that primarily involves listening and centering colonized and Global South people, instead of amplifying themselves to virtue-signal and chase clout.

In essence they're just bad human beings, exactly like every other self-victimizing, self-aggrandizing Zionist, TERF and MAGA-hat (both red and blue) that treat accountability like a personal threat and place ideology over human beings. That's why I say it's important to separate politics from your morals and ethics. Your politics are supposed to change but your moral and ethical foundation cannot.

Personally I take great comfort in being proven wrong about my beliefs almost daily. At least 95% of everything I have ever assumed to be true has been proven wrong, which is what gives me more confidence in the remaining 5%. I love being wrong because knowing that means I'm doing something right. I see so many people on here be the same way, it's honestly lovely and gives me faith and hope for humanity. That's real leftism.

For 200 years we had sawed and sawed and sawed at the branch we were sitting on. And in the end, much more suddenly than anyone had foreseen, our efforts were rewarded, and down we came. But unfortunately there had been a little mistake…The thing at the bottom was not a bed of roses after all; it was a cesspool full of barbed wire. ... It appears that amputation of the soul isn't just a simple surgical job, like having your appendix out. The wound has a tendency to go septic.

I'm actually feeling sick and tired when I see a post discoursing or fighting about queer issues and then I realized that it is a USA/Europe centric post all over again, I'm not saying that western people shouldn't talk about it nor anyone shouldn't care about what happened in the west.

But it's just sad when you realize that the existence of queer people is acknowledged enough in the west to the point there can be discourse about it while in your country at the moment it's impossible.

I'm sad when I see post like "Pro tip and organization that you can call to help you if you are an abused queer person" and it's in the USA. Any solution and conversation about queer issues, any resemblance of help only available for western queers

So many leftist conversation are made by western people and only for the west, from the beginning to the conclusion and solution

In the end I'm just an outsiders, looking out of the window, joining a conversation that won't actually affect or help me because I live so far away from the west. Others have a lifeboat even though life as a queer person in the west can be sucks as well

I and others who don't have that privilege don't, we are just drowning and dying...

I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just acknowledging the near hopeless reality

can phil jimenez for once in his god damn life, not be a disgusting liberal virtue signaler for once

using “unusual but hopeful” to describe holocaust victims, writing that 3 years after the oklahoma city bombing, and having the goddamn gall to wax lyrical about keeping the moral high ground.

are you really going to waste your time trying to reason with people who are beyond saving? god i hope he never becomes a hostage negotiator

progressive, but how much do you think DC comics pays him to create shit like this?

more importantly

what kind of person chooses to waste their time writing and openly drawing nazi imagery?

More people, specially with all this Palestine Israel stuff going around should know about this:

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know. That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. I'd point out it does not operate in other arenas of life. In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper. When, in fact, it almost certainly isn't. The only possible explanation for our behavior is amnesia.

The original quote from 2002 was about Palestine and yet again it's good to remember this.

proletarianisation is always the funniest thing to fearmonger about because its like. worst case is oh noooo now i have to do what literally everyone else has to do. woe is me to be on the same level as the poors

#like yeah its objectively a worsening of conditions of working people and we should oppose it. but we oppose it on proletarian grounds lol #but *somehow* like 90% of all western leftism is petty-bourgeois ideology. a mystery as to why.

Just heard my professor describe a German philosopher from the early modern period as "one of the first people to read Buddhist texts". Never have I heard a more western centric statement.
