I can’t believe it has to be said, but no leftist should EVER be on the side of the imperialists. It’s really not that hard.
God I'm glad to have chapo back
"""anarchist""" internet spaces ban you for saying shit like this
can confirm. im just a run of the mill marxist and got banned from breadtube for asking where the satellite images of all these concentration camps that held 1 million uighurs were. the holocaust had thousands of active camps for killing jews.
Yep. I'm banned from /r/anarchism and raddle for linking the book Fraud, Famine, and Fascism by Douglas Tottle. Because if you don't literally accept the word of Nazis (1930s/1940s actual Nazis, not neo-nazis) you are a genocide denier and a tankie and scum or whatever.
its mostly just that its a, huge, extraordinary claim that has very little evidence behind it.
like, i could probably find 8 poor people from almost anywhere and bribe them to say things about the government.
That's essentially what has been happening for years with North Korean defectors being motivated by cash payments for interviews and information and why their testimonies have proven to be so notoriously unreliable. The defectors became well aware of what the interviewers wanted to hear. This practice drove the demand for “saleable stories”: the more exclusive, shocking or emotional, the higher the fee. Consequently, we get to frequently hear fantastical stories of human atrocities from North Korean defectors who claim to be eyewitnesses like Lee Soon-ok who offered testimony to the US House of Representatives in 2004, vividly describing torture and the killing of Christians in hot liquid iron in North Korean political prisons. This was then later debunked by defector associations which had first hand knowledge that Lee had never even been a political prisoner.
if you ever wondered how former leftists turned into raging neocons during the cold war...

25% of Americans are lying to themselves about the iraq war (pretending they didn't support it)
20% of reps, and 30% of dems lied on the poll.
At the time of Bush's announcement, 72% of Americans supported the illegal invasion of Iraq. 25% opposed it in 2003.This means that 25% of Americans are sane, 50% are insane and proud, 25% are insane and ashamed.
Also it means that 45% of Democrats, and 14% of Republicans were sane in 2003.
i dont know who novara is but it doesn't get more suspicious than actively saying we should side with imperialists?
Trots running leftist media company in the UK. Quite well known. They're okay when operating entirely within the boundaries of electoral politics within the UK and absolute dogshit on anything outside of that.
TBH I thought it was a bit for that sentence alone but I'm really bad at knowing genuine evil from joke evil.
They saw how everyone came together to oppose Iraq, and now they spend a few cycles on splitting the left on imperialism. Lesson learned I guess. This is especially frustrating because opposing US intervention is the easy stuff.
Yeah for real I feel like I'm wearing the They Live shades or something
