Im curious why people think this might harm US power and what that would look like

Death to Israel, death to the United States, death to Capital. No apologies

People who say “I know from history” oftentimes have the historical knowledge of a gamer.

You dont have a point other than people bad. It’s the most insipid, unthinking comment you could possibly make.

Good luck with 7th grade

The heart of western philosophy is linear, eternal accumulation. This belief is the ultimate western truth.

I hear people say they think it pushes the country to the left somehow, even though when I point out all the recent Dem election wins, they just blame Republicans for sabatoging everything. In other words, they just don’t pay attention and are deeply unserious but still have a moral stake somehow.

Yeah its just that if you suggest this people treat you like you are insane. People love to bring up privilege and revoke your “ally card” and whatnot as if third party voters and politically aware non-voters haven’t heard it all for decades. The conversation is always so stale. It’s so hard to convince people the election is a red herring. I can’t even bring myself to judge people anywhere near as harshly based on the election because it just isn’t that important.

All this does is invite people to use ML as bait to draw them through the gates of hell. There is no ideology you can call yourself that frees you from criticism.

I will say however, that MLs, whether they are ideologically agreeable or shakey, likely understand the stakes and will quickly reject a lot of bait your average liberal will take. Still, there are a number of things that can be used to create a pipeline that draws marxists to neoliberalism and we would do well to know we are not free from propaganda or the processes of capital. Workers have been used to advance empire and we can be certain this is not limited to a distant past.

Their vassals seem to be squirming for more war

A bunch of dungeon dweebs with zero understanding of global politics. Some Christo fascist extremist group that would start and lose a civil war with anyone non white.

Lmao your like I love fascists just please keep the Jesus out and don’t lose the coups we start

Libs be like: Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump I am very smart.

This is complete bullshit. Unhinged stupidity.

Apparently that isn’t a question for the actions he took? The result is nothing. The left loves a martyr, and our obsession with martyrdom and purity is a feature of the genocide. It’s never time to actually put our skills to use and organize or take risks. If it is then we don’t do anything beyond profile building and concern trolling. Making statements and pretending to die by lying on the ground while we chant that “we are all Palestinians” when we know damn well we aren’t. It’s such a disturbing ruse to witness.

And now this. Literal performative suicide. It’s a fucking embarrassment. If anyone has faith in the left let this be a moment to lose that ridiculous faith once and for all.

He was young and had military experience. What he did was incrediblely unproductive given the potential he had. I dont see why his actions should be praised. All he did was fucking die while saying what everyone already knows.

attention is really helpful when you’re FUCKING DEAD

I couldn’t agree more with your sarcasm.

He was young and had military training. This was far from his only option.

What a ridiculous, meaningless designation.

I think you mean Hasan has benifited more from the conflict in Palestine than I have. His actions are liberal antics that his followers endorse. So what? He is not leading us towards anti imperialism, he is solidifying left wing coalitions that will largely only be able to benifit the global north. Saying Israel is bad isn’t revolutionary, it’s fucking obvious. But that’s what he is about, low hanging fruit and the spectacle around it.

This is not a sacrifice for Palestine. It is civil religious self harm. Hasan, along with the entire left, is doing nothing to stop genocide in Palestine. Speaking out on Twitch is not activism. This isnt anti imperialism, it is identity profile building in the context of an addictive corporate platform.

He is only anti empire in the most vulgar sense possible. I don’t give a shit who is streaming. These platforms shouldn’t exist.
