Always attacking strawpeople because their worldview is indefensible on its own

Free Palestine

Fuck the border

Fuck Biden, fuck Trump, and fuck anyone who defends either of these fascist fucks

"Four more years"

"Whatabout Trump"

They'll do anything but discuss the issues.

Scratch a neoliberal, and you'll find a fascist.

It's racism tbh. If these were white Americans or Europeans, we'd be doing everything in our power to stop it and not grossly downplaying it by saying it's "just one thing."

The whole post is good, but if I may:

Liberals, devoid of principles, would never understand any extreme, or even inconvenient form of protest

My god, so true! This is why liberals were hand-wringing about blocking streets during the BLM protests and gatekeeping what constitutes a "proper" protest, and clutching their pearls about a campaign every time the sitting president is criticized, and using inappropriate terms like "harm reduction" to refer to supporting a genocidal leader, and fundamentally being incapable of grasping the sacrifice of someone like Aaron Bushnell, and why they sit in their suburban homes and post about how someone like me is "privileged" while their dear leader imprisons and deports my friends and loved ones, while I live surrounded by fascists in a red state while our president does nothing to stop or slow the creep of fascism, but instead implements even more LGBTQIAphobic policies that bolster hate. It's projection. Look at any thread in any liberal community, and you'll find them -- the people described in this post. Palestine is "complicated" even though unprecedented numbers of children are murdered every day by Israel, the "border crisis" is something that like 70% of them have been duped into believing so therefore it's okay and must be real, and black people are supposed to protest their systemic murder in a way that's acceptable to their delicate suburban sensibilities.

Liberals are fundamentally unable to understand the left, or anyone with any kind of principles.

I've seen some pretty frequent posters on the Fediverse participating in the dissemination of anti-EZLN/pro-capitalist/pro-state propaganda, so I thought it would be a good time to repost this. Yes, I was personally concerned when I first read the article by AP News, but it turns out this restructuring has been (probably deliberately) misconstrued and presented as a weakening of the Zapatistas, when such is not the case!

Here's the original release if you'd rather read it for yourself instead of the tumblr post. I just think that tumblr blog laid it out nicely and easily.

All the other disparagements of Zapatistas that I've seen in the mainstream news are the exact same regurgitated racist/classist statements that are made by the western media against literally any indigenous group ever. Let's see if I can list them:

There's poverty

No shit. Poverty created by the Mexican state and colonialism long before the Zapatistas existed.

There's lack of access to healthcare

Oh, really? So the US media should be the arbiter of what constitutes fair access to healthcare?

There's gang/cartel activity

...which are bolstered by an inequitable capitalist system and are only able to function within the framework of an oppressive state. Again, this is remarkably not the fault of the Zapatistas.

Guanatamo Bay. Please be advised it's very upsetting, but based on comments made by influential politicians including Cheney, this is just our MO for how the US treats prisoners of war.

How's that going, Biden? Closed it yet? Oh, wait... more lies by fascist Biden. I guess 70% of his supporters think sexual assault and torture is just fine...

Also funny how they accuse tankies of denying an ongoing genocide, and yet I've seen many comments in liberal spaces denying that Israel is committing a genocide, being not only untouched by mods, but also heavily upvoted.

Friendly reminder that Democrats are only fair-weather allies who would run us over with a tank if it were politically convenient.

Considering their treatment of Palestinians and Hispanic immigrants, this should not really come as a surprise.

Gazal was wounded on November 10th, when, as her family fled Gaza City’s Al-Shifa hospital, shrapnel pierced her left calf. To stop the bleeding, a doctor, who had no access to antiseptic or anesthesia, heated the blade of a kitchen knife and cauterized the wound. Within days, the gash ran with pus and began to smell. By mid-December, when Gazal’s family arrived at Nasser Medical Center—then Gaza’s largest functioning health-care facility—gangrene had set in, necessitating amputation at the hip.

On December 17th, a projectile hit the children’s ward of Nasser. Gazal and her mother watched it enter their room, decapitating Gazal’s twelve-year-old roommate and causing the ceiling to collapse.

UNICEF estimates that a thousand children in Gaza have become amputees since the conflict began in October. “This is the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history,” Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a London-based plastic-and-reconstructive surgeon who specializes in pediatric trauma, told me recently.
