So did you miss the recent bipartisan genocide or…?

Some people find it scary when non-whites rule themselves

But at least we get to choose the type of leather

Violence against fascists is defense of humanity

You should’ve seen the hoods the other guy would have made us wear. Enabling a genocide of our colonial subjects is a small price to pay to maintain 5% of our dignity. I’m on the left btw

Lol my former friend tried to do that shit but she had clearly only seen the name written, so she said “ooigwyres”

If China was doing Israel shit, it would be the only thing that was ever on the news.

The Confederates continue to claim sole ownership over all the territory of America, plus some of Canada for good measure. In taverns and coffee shops from Barcelona to Berlin, any mention of the USA is likely to be met with a self-satisfied “You mean West Puerto Rico?😏”

For the liberals, a metaphor:

It’s the end of the American Civil War. The Southern lines have collapsed, the Union is surging. Robert E Lee and the remaining confederates, rather than surrender, decide to retreat to the island of Puerto Rico. The US Army moves to pursue them, but Spain sends an armada to point it’s guns at Florida.

Once ensconced on Puerto Rico, the slavers initiate a brutal anti-abolitionist crackdown that sees them murder tens of thousands of people. Then they proceed to implement four decades of martial law and throw at least 140,000 people into concentration camps on suspicion of being “yankee sympathizers”. Thousands more are disappeared into the jungle by the Dixie death squads.

Meanwhile, Spain floods Europe with propaganda about the noble freedom fighters of Puerto Rico and their valiant struggle against Northern Aggression. To this day, the face of Robert E “Memphis Massacre” Lee is stamped on the money.

Inb4 “tWo ThInGs CaN bE bad At OnCe” from someone comparing something real the empire is doing with a story that same empire told them about someone else.

We shouldn’t purity test a country that’s being invaded, regardless of whether it’s Palestine or Ukraine

An absurd thing to say when one of the countries is being genocided with western support and the other is run by actual seig-heiling nazis who were doing ethnic cleansing also with western support. To equivocate between the two is nonsensical, It’s the geopolitical version of equivocating between kicking in a door as part of a robbery and kicking in a door as part of a hostage rescue operation. But if you really must reduce everything down to black and white principles about what is and isn’t acceptable, try this one: There is never a good reason to side with nazis.

Also, I curse whoever came up with the thought-terminating cliche that is “purity testing”. In cooking and chemistry, in metallurgy and biology and a million other things, you need “purity testing” to achieve anything, because it turns out that making a habit of disregarding basic standards consistently leads to failure and disaster. I don’t cook with dirt, I don’t build out of bubblegum, I dont make tea with metal shavings and I don’t give critical support to genocidal goose-steppers.
