    Palestinians have to be a “perfect victim” to be even the slightest bit sympathetic, and even then it’s not a guarantee.

      Such is western liberalism; the only correct action is to be subjugated under imperialist rule. Only then will you deserve pity, and pity is all you’ll get.

            It wouldn’t be surprising since he’s the same guy that went on hunger strikes whenever his people would violently oppose the British.

              The Western media always says that he was a peaceful man and we should be like him. When I became a Marxist, I started to see his methods as ineffective but Jesus. Fucking. Christ. I never knew he was that bad.

                Becoming a Marxist shows you that Gandhi was a villain that is propped up by the west in the name of non-violence

                Reading about history was my road to Marxism.

                Reading the history of India's decolonization and the use of violent opposition, in particular, was a major moment for me.

                When I first saw this quote, it really put into perspective why non-violence is held as the only option by the hegemon.

                Weirdly, Gandhi supported violence when he volunteered Indian men to fight for the British military in Africa.

                Make your libs read How to Blow Up a Pipeline, which really should be called “Why Nonviolence Is Shit and Has Never Worked”

            Yeah, Gandhi is a shithead propped up because the liberal view if passive submission to state violence is politically useful for maintaining control. The British really gave up in India because Gandhi said he was no longer going to tell the armed factions not to fight, and the Brits decided they couldn't afford to fight a real rebellion.

      It's that imperialist propaganda narrative that has shrunk Palestinians to their current locations.
