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

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.

Hilary is responsible for Trump. she pushed him in the primary.

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.

[email protected]

So, do you suggest going without a fight? Do you not understand how community defense works?

[email protected]

Even a performative action would have been better than nothing you genocidal cunt

[email protected]

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).

[email protected]

Please, tell me more about how I feel.

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.

No, they aren't. Expecting the Dems to get the vote by not being the fascists is a low standard. They have to present more than that. They didn't, in fact, and now the party blames leftists for not voting hard enough when it's their failure.

Jesus, when Luigi Mangione allegedly killed that healthcare CEO, it showed how the entire country liked seeing that, and the Democratic party has no idea what kind of campaign they could maybe run? I'm not saying they should run on a billionaire purge platform, but c'mon, maybe use your one billion dollar campaign funds for sending a message for you and not against the other one. Instead we got a 25k grant for a house purchase if you jump through three hoops. Wow, inspiring stuff.

And Hillary Clinton being characterized as making "no big changes" tells the whole story here. Her opponent went on a "drain the swamp", "we're going to make America great again" campaign and building up a hispanic and muslim scape goat. Everyone who is educated knew these were lies, but people were bad off, even then, and needed change. To be a hawkish candidate in a war exhausted society who runs on nothing but trying to achieve the first female presidential office is a weak attempt at saving America from Trump.

Oh, you mean the Nazi regime where anarchists self-organized and fought the Nazis while everyone else was inviting the Nazis to the Olympics? Or the times that anarchists showed up to put a beat down on Nazis doing a dog and pony show at Madison Square?

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.

That's not a gamble. We know a fight is coming. We just are unsure of when it will start. We're preparing for that.

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.

We've been dealing with that for years already.... I mean, how do you think Anarchists ended up in prison in the US already?

If they notice you, the chances of there being a fight is slim.

We only need to be lucky once. They need to be lucky every single time.

and nor will any number of your plans about how you and your buddies will heroically defend your community. So stow the macho bullshit.

It's hardly "macho bullshit"... But go on projecting. What's your plan, btw? Capitulate at the soonest chance?

I'm seeing a lot of voter bashing but the same Democrats in power. I get the criticism against voters. They should have voted neoliberal. But the Democrats set this vote up to fail. They just don't seem to get any consequences for it.

The DNC is bad. I said it again. The DNC is really not great. There once more. They are not nearly as bad as what's going on in the current administration though. If that statement is "defending the DNC" then you have lost all perspective.
