“Wahhhh, I don’t like it when it’s my “civilization” being threatened to be erased!” Steps on 200,000 rakes

Welcome comrade! ✊️

Genuinely, the discussions happening here are a very good intro to compare/contrast to narratives that get thrown at people from imperialist and bourgeoisie media, on top of everything else. It’s also got many links to good sources of info on leftist thought and alternative perspectives.

Also - not sure if others have mentioned, but sometimes it can be difficult maintaining optimism when learning about the real world through a communist lense; laying bare the countless injustices and vitriolic, grotesque reactionary behavior of those who oppress us and how they do so can be a daunting task to open your eyes to all at once, so don’t forget your own mental health on your journey.

A better world is possible!

50 million for anyone who takes out Trump and Netanyahu? Wild lol

We do what we can, comrade. It may not be the be all end all of everything, but every little bit helps.

I’m just starting my organizing journey via tenant organizing and grassroots union radicalization, and I feel you, I really do.

We all have our own strengths and weaknesses, and I think finding your own niche helps ward off the drag.

You got about a year on me, so I’m sure you’ve heard this all before - all I can do is express both commiseration and solidarity. Do what you can, don’t burn out, and keep up the revolutionary optimism.

Pretty sure at least some of the ones in this compilation are. The explosions look way too clean

Edit: linked the wrong one initially because I engage with handheld technology like someone several decades older than me, fixed now

Not like decapitation strikes aren’t a type of strategy. But I agree, it does seem odd in the face of how things used to go when the empire was more “imperious”.

I think we can probably blame man-child tech oligarchs and their pet AIs for this as well, somehow.

Part of me wants to believe that the ghouls at the top believe so much in great man theory and love huffing their own fumes; that they think if their enemy were to do the same to them, everything would fall apart without their superhuman charisma, project management capabilities, and business acumen.

Its a dying empire riddled with sycophants all sucking each other off probably speckled with a few remaining competent generals who have to fight tooth and nail to gather military resources for any operation other than ones that help defend the zionist entity.

Part of me wants to believe that, part of me fears that it’s closer to the truth than I’d believe, and yet another part of me fears that it’s further, too.

🫂 we’re all tryin’ to make a fire out in that dark.
