If the West were wise they would back off and back down. Israel is trying desperately to provoke war with Iran. They bomb embassies, they've bombed Iranians inside Iran in assassinations, and now they bring their genocide to Lebanon. Iran has shown restraint but patience only goes so far... https://youtube.com/shorts/LSlHNdnLHkw
So called environmentalists cannot imagine civilization living in beneficial coexistence with nature. This is a failure of imagination. For thousands of years, societies lived not only in harmony with nature but actively contributed to the wellbeing of ecosystems to which we are a part. It is a total failure of imagination to think that we can not do so again. Short sighted exploitation of nature pushing natural systems and relations into a position of collapse is not an inherent quality of humanity but rather the result of a system of incentives--global capitalism. We can set up a system of incentives otherwise, a sustainable and co-beneficial system is possible. Humans are clever and nature is resilient, but so long as capitalism continues to exist, the antagonism will remain.
The fight against climate change, and the growth demanding economic mode called capitalism, is existential. TAKE HEART IN THIS: The system of imperialism, competition, and capitalism is far from inevitable. It is fragile, and cracking. A new world is being born! We will pick up what was left by the trail, we will forge new, harmonious ways of life with ancient wisdom and modern brilliance all the same. The alien state of things under industrial capitalism is far from natural, far from sustainable. It is destroying the very world, yes, but it is not done and for so long as we all still breathe and dream it will not be.
DOOM IS THE LAST REFUGE OF LIBERALISM WITHIN US. The oil barons, pig cops, and demogorgon politicians would rather us despair and wither in isolate than dare to dream of something better, something obvious that even a child can see! Doomerism is reaction, because so long as we still breathe and live and dream we can still fight! Cooperation, international solidarity, equity and sustainability, these things are well within the realm of possibility if only we are brave enough to seize upon it, to build that new world and show it to be possible! And it is! And we must!
The global revolution will NOT be stopped by their bombs or bullets or bulldozers! We will fight for tomorrow, we must! We will fight for the oppressed and the exploited, for the forests and the seas, ours is a fight for the future itself! Solidarity! Onward! SOCIALISM OR BARBARISM!
@are0h The conduct of so called leftists on here is so embarrassing. Reading your take and then taking away that this is a person who has to be ostracized is something only internalized racism will do, and you're absolutely correct for calling that out for what it is. Especially when it just keeps happening!
unfriendly reminder that weaponizing Islam was CIA's idea to create a "green wall" against the spread of communism and directly funded for a bunch of rich, bored Saudis (including a young Osama Bin Laden himself) to do war vacations in Afghanistan during the Soviet intervention. operation cyclone sowed the seeds of what would become Al Qaeda and Taliban, printing in Texas textbooks full of radicalizing material bastardizing Islam directed at children that are still used today
the right wing playbook: - project your own moral failings on to anybody who calls you out for poor behavior - accuse them of reverse racism - get socially ostracized anyways - make another eris disqordia account
The US think tank and multimedia machine is engaged in manufacturing consent for a nuclear war against North Korea, China, and Russia. They are actively trying to promote such a war with rhetoric and actions. They did 20 live fire exercises against North Korea this year including the simulated use of nuclear weapons in the war games.
This is all because 1. the US feels its grip on the world slipping and is considering nuking the industry of its "main adversary" 2. technological advancements in submarine detection and hypersonic missiles have made first strike fantasies feverishly common to the warhawks in washington. Instead of talking about China's first strike capability, they are talking about China's second strike capability. These insane bastards are prepared to burn millions of people in nuclear holocaust before giving up their imperial throne
