@bread157 @chimeraxmachina Great we using rules about pornography to vague post about repression again are we? Always full circle with you fools
English
People assume that China is homophobic because they read news about China cracking down on LGBT+ orgs. What those articles leave out is how the West frequently uses these NGOs as fronts for covert activities and propaganda operations. China isn't anti-queer, it's pro-sovereignty.

@NightPhoenixY @chimeraxmachina Did you not read? It was literally change to comply with censorship laws
English
@bread157 @chimeraxmachina Ok and? Gonna act like adaptations always follow shit from the novel?
English
@SquintFeastwood You're right, the anti-Zionist movement should have no political representation
English
Shamelessly builds his brand off Palestine then constantly works for the party that genocided them
Americans are the enemy of the world, left or right doesn't matter

Fuck AIPAC

@NightPhoenixY @chimeraxmachina The explicit homoeroticism of the novel the Untamed series is based on was toned down heavily to apply with Chinese censorship laws
English
@bread157 @chimeraxmachina Cause that's what Hollywood thinks China wants? Are you dense?

@ZezimasAlt Uncle Tom's Cabin. The Jungle. Picasso's Guernica. Goya's Disasters of War. Birth of a Nation. Dr. Strangelove.
Everything about the 1960s-1970s counterculture
The fucking Renaissance.

Not only is he correct, but what kind of dunk is this lmao?
“This guy mainly talks about things he’s knowledgeable on, unlike me, a massive dumbass who will never shut up.”

I can see why he sticks to basically two subjects and never tries to extend himself beyond that.
English
@clemferguson The term tends to refer to the rejection of liberal democratcy and political plurality, not just any forceful or repressive action by a government. This necessarily implies that liberal democracy is good, hence why its accepted by liberals and rejected by many communists.
English
this is why I personally think “authoritarian” isn’t a very useful term (or is useful if your goal is to whitewash your own authority.)
If authority is the government imposing its will onto people by force, then global hegemony is already in the hands of authoritarians.
Organizermemes@OrganizerMemes
I don't want an end to the U.S. empire that just means handing over global hegemony to authoritarians
English
I need you to understand something my American friends. Nobody has a clue who you are talking about when you say "the left". People in the rest of the world constantly ask me who that is. The Democrats? Progressives? Liberals? The DSA? Communists? Anti-genocide Americans?

@redf0undation @NondescriptRed Also literally refracted by the Comitern after the Nazis took power
English
Idk why the "liberals always side with fascists" line got so popular, it's demonstrably false even if you look at the spanish civil war which happened only a couple years after the weimar stuff they tend to bring up a lot. That also should not be our critique of liberals!
English
@dobrist88 @FCHPolitics @chimeraxmachina The Soviet Union incorporated the same territories and ethnicities as the Russian Empire. But somehow it is no longer an empire despite having a metropole and peripheral territories containing over a hundred different ethnicities because the economic system is different.
English
@FCHPolitics @chimeraxmachina Russia is imperialist. Soviet Union is not
English
When you ask liberals to give a coherent definition of imperialism and they just look at you like this

How tankies look at you when you tell them you oppose all forms of imperialism, not just western ones
English
@eeemeadeee @manfromdelaware @chimeraxmachina Do you know the difference between a country and an empire
English
@manfromdelaware @chimeraxmachina "the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power and dominion of a nation especially by direct territorial acquisitions or by gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas" means that every single country is imperial. This is incoherent
English
@chimeraxmachina Imperialism is territorial, economic, and/or cultural expansion of a country with the intended goal or effect of ending the sovereignty and Independence of other countries and incorporating them into a formal or informal empire.
English
@bread157 @gayest_tone arguably would be a more violent world than the status quo
English
There’s been what, maybe 2 truly global hegemonic powers and the US has definitely been worse than both just due to pure capacity
Mattrod@mcinthedc
America is the least benevolent global hegemon imaginable, with the minor exception of every other global hegemonic power that has ever existed in History.
English
@chimeraxmachina Not a coincidence that Lenin uses a definition that makes the USSR retaining of the territories of the Russian Empire not imperialistic.
English
@chimeraxmachina It's an ideologically convenient definition that makes imperialism inseparable from capitalism, automatically waving away any potentially imperialistic (under the standard definition) actions by non-capitalist actors.
