Does the sun not set in the west and rise in the east? Fascism doesn’t come to the imperial core without also coming to its allies.

While I agree; we’ve moved past that point unless the US stops Israel; and they will not.

The world needs to unite in arms to invade Israel. We do not have time for even a major BDS movement. Children are starving every night. Without direct action all the world is doing is watching and wagging its fingers.

And at this point I can’t tell which “scholar” or politician is only doing that to be able to say they did in the future. They are coming to the correct side just late enough to wag their fingers.

Can we stop saying “Israel claims” unless we follow it up with “which is a blatant fucking lie with no basis in reality”

If you agree you’d probably love the season of the podcast “Blowback” on North Korea. You are right. I am just only scratching the surface.

I can’t recommend that podcast enough. Really great historical materialism wrapped in a very well produced podcast.

North Korea is not an aggressive country invading another country like Japan did. So, I really don’t see the comparison you’re trying to make. They are a victim of Japanese Imperialism followed by that being replaced with US imperialism after WW2. Primarily used to test the USSR after WW2. Something the US attempted to portray as a threat. Even though the USSR took the vast majority of casualties to defeat the Nazis and were in a mode of recovery similar to Europe at the time.

The restrictions on trade to Korea have failed in the same way they have failed with Cuba. Cuba is a better and more successful example of resistance to US imperialism. I would not say I am a fan of what NK and it’s isolation has become over time. But I would not pretend it is a result of anything less than a genocide performed on their population by US bombing campaigns. If you want to understand why NK is the way it is you need not look further than the genocide of its people followed by decades of trade restrictions and isolationist policies enforced by the west.

To pretend that any country’s people would not benefit from being able to participate freely in global trade is just wrong. Your talk of drug trade or otherwise is literally pointing to desperation of black markets because of their lack of ability to participate in other trade with most nations. You’re pointing to the effect and pretending it’s the cause.

If anything, the trade restrictions reinforce the isolationist policies and “lack of liberal ideas of freedom” that most people criticize North Korea for are entirely caused by the reinforcement of their isolation.

I am not an appologist for the rulers of North Korea. I would love to live in a world where I could critize their leadership apart from what I have explained above. But, I cannot, in good faith, pretend that North Korea is anything but the inevitable result of a post WW2 anti USSR western policy of the west. A policy that has outlived is usefulness.

North Korea was the “boogieman” that would get nukes and destroy the world. Well, they have nukes. They are not doing that. If anything, we have learned more in the last few decades that obtaining nukes is a means to ensure the US will not attempt regime change in your nation.

North Korea can and should be given the opportunity to trade freely with other nations and not be a victim of a fear mongering from a red scare era of US imperialism.

Well now it can be a SWERF and TERF paper.

A good deescalation would be an end to the trade restrictions the west imposes on North Korea. Cuba too while we are at it.

Would actually be a nice “fuck the US” thing for the rest of the west to do. Especially with these tarrifs. Cuba especially. Since it’s basically just been the US and Israel voting against ending the illegal trade embargo on Cuba for the last 40 something years.

Edit: Vote in the UN.

Yeah and all the “40 babies in ovens” articles were not opinion articles because a dumb old man with ass cancer lied about it when he was president.

I think this being “opinion” is more telling of what our media decides to label as such.

China is the king of those.

We don’t like this. But we like trade so we literally won’t change anything.

The west is falling. I pray history will bring justice for Palestine. Stay strong comrade.

Only if the world makes them regret it. I wish I could say that with the mountain of documented evidence (mostly by IDF soldiers themselves) that the history will bring justice for Palestine.

But, I didn’t think we could be 655 days into a genocide and still have the New York fucking Times running articles saying “it’s totally not. Because not enough babies have died yet. Israel could kill so many more babies if they wanted to”.

The one thing that will be true with time though is that Israel will collapse. Fascist Ethnostates are by their very nature self destructive and cannot maintain themselves.

I just want to live long enough to see it fall and the children of Palestinian today be able to serve out the justice to the western world that they deserve.

I want everyone from Israeli officials all the way to New York Times writers to be brought to justice and answer for their crimes.

One day; everyone will ‘have always been against’ this.

And those people that today still spread genocide propaganda will pretend they were always against. It is important we don’t let those demons get away with it.

Lost any ounce of respect I might have had left for him (which really wasn’t much) and his wife when they started pushing Genocide propaganda for Israel.

Nothing says “rock and roll” like supporting Israels right to genocide I guess.

True rock and roll would be pissing on his grave. Maybe Kneecap can do the honors.

Just got let go from Microsoft for speaking out. Not that it would matter. But now the UN is at least on my side too. Garbage company. Never even wanted to work there. My company got bought out by them and suddenly was a Microsoft employee. Fuck em! All their leadership should be in prison or worse.
