Trump says Palestinians have ‘no alternative’ but to leave Gaza

ooof. David Rovics platforms Nazis. I'm a way better anarchist than him.

The dividing line is how good your PR is.

I hope you learn what harm reduction is someday

A resolution, for a ceasefire, that the US blocked.
And yes, US backing genocide has a long, and storied tradition, if you will. Hitler got his "best" ideas for it, from the US.

They aren’t herding me anywhere, without a fight.
Spoken like a true warrior. /s
That’s why we arm ourselves, and train, and organize.
The reason why actual revolutionaries arm and train and organize is for the prospect of action striking back against the institutions of power. Not because it'll save any individual one of them. Fuck, being more likely to die is one of the first things revolutionaries against oppressive governments have to get through their heads. And heroic shootouts with the military for all the world to see are not how things usually go. You get black-fucking-bagged on your way back from the grocery store.
And it’s been getting worse for everyone since like… 1976 on so?
Jesus fucking Christ.

the vote was between "harm stays the same" and "harm gets worse"
the harm is getting worse
we were still going to work on mutual aid, educating children, harm prevention, putting out messaging about the truth to wake up our fellow brethren. just now we have to do it while our most marginalized sisters are slipping into hiding because they're at more risk of being detained for speaking up and speaking out.
anyway. i'm done with this thread. today is a big day in my community. please spend some time today with your marginalized sisters. they need you.

Yes the internet exists, but if she hasn't been able to make a public statement about every bat shit idea, or if there is no recording of her saying anything of it, it couldn't be shared.
-
Sigh. We fight for those on the left and right of us.
If it was just for me, then why would I suggest training, arming AND organizing?

Safety in numbers is a common delusion.
If it's not for you, why the fuck did you bring it up as part of "Well, they won't take ME without a fight!" macho posturing?
-
A resolution that had no binding action on Israel or Hamas is not a cease fire. It's a performative action of "Israel bad", which is why the US vetoed it.

Even a performative action would have been better than nothing you genocidal cunt
-
Not different. The Clinton admin invented the term whole cloth in order to not have to get involved in Rwanda.
-
Buddy, we're all impressed that you know what Gaza is (finally).
-
Please, tell me more about how I feel.

So, do you suggest going without a fight? Do you not understand how community defense works?
Jesus fucking Christ.
You want to cosplay the resistance, read up on how things actually went under the Nazi regime.
If you and your friends aren't just LARPing in the same fucking way that "COME AND TAKE THEM" right-wing chuds do when they stroke their barrels over the prospect of fighting off a tyrannical government? That's great. But if so, all of you should understand that you aren't gambling that you'll win your individual fight with the fascists - you're gambling, first of all, that there will be a fight. And if you're smart, you're hoping that there won't be one - because irregular forces have the greatest success when there isn't a direct confrontation.
The chances are pretty fucking slim that you're going to be manning the trenches on a frontline between Good and Evil. The chances are pretty fucking slim that any safehouse you have is going to last more than ten minutes once discovered by government drones. Most days, in actual asymmetric warfare, your primary concern is the government not noticing you. Because if they do notice you, that's fucking it. And the fewer scruples the oppressive government has, the less chance you'll have to fight back. If they notice you, the institution with disproportionate resources and full-time goons to sic on you, they're going to choose where, when, and how the confrontation goes down, and "Politely, in the daytime, clearly marked coming down the street while you're on guard duty at the safe house" is not fucking likely to be the result.
If they notice you, the chances of there being a fight is slim. If they notice you, chances are you'll be in line for the camps with the rest of us, and no amount of crowing about how they'd never take YOU without a fight will mean a goddamn fig, and nor will any number of your plans about how you and your buddies will heroically defend your community. So stow the macho bullshit.
