I’m praying for a win, I didn’t expect to see this

The biggest concern for me isn’t Israel’s escalation (they will escalate no matter what) but the US’s reaction. No way they don’t do something no? Either way, this has made my year, I’m glad to see Israelis feel in an inch of what they have given to others

there’s going to be more?? Has Israel ever been hit like this before?

may they all strike true

I’m so sorry. I understand the feeling. I don’t know anything that helps, the only thing that works for me is full repression. Like an on/off switch, I break down when I can and tell myself it’s not happening when I can’t.

It’s evil and hypocritical but I don’t know what else we can do. If there’s any chance of victory for any of us, there will always be an untold amount of death. I think in a way we have to come to terms with that.

Your ignorance is astounding, I wish my heart and head could be as empty as yours 👏

I’ve been here a long time and don’t want to say anything to you that gets me banned but you aren’t a comrade without empathy.

Edit: they’ve been banned, go fuck yourself you tragedy tourist

it’s the sign of someone who has no real connection to the struggle whatsoever, they don’t care about the human factor at all, this is just them trying to prove a point that literally holds no weight or value to anyone but themselves

they are more concerned with labeling things as losses, this

should be treated as such without being told you can’t call it what it is

is more important to them than anything else, they ignore anyone bringing up the real issue, fuck off, these issues are more than just a scoreboard. this is a matter of human lives, grow a spine and some empathy

why should I say anything? what I think they should or shouldn’t do means nothing, read my responses, I’m not telling you to show unbreakable faith in iran, hexbollah, or hamas, or to not believe that we are witnessing a loss.

I called you out leaving such a ridiculous message during this immense tragedy. @cleveroleg left this message and he is right.

Whether your analysis is correct or not, maybe not the best time to crow about how right you were and start calling people out, eh?

I don’t think your analysis is correct but when you use a moment like this, to harp on about that? It’s stupid, it’s asinine, it’s miserable especially when we have people here who have family in lebanon. I’m going to have to go to prayer and see people weeping for their lost families, friends, their country. Get a grip comrade and don’t fucking worry about having ‘a point’.

I truly think it can with the backing of the usa, it doesn’t need to sustain itself. It has an eternal IV drip because of the usa, unless it’s severed I don’t think it can outright die before taking as many people with them as possible

pooh-poohing my concerns about the axis of resistance a week ago

Am I still just a ‘doomer’ or did I have a point?

What are you pointing out? people are dying? we are seeing evil at work, there is no point you are making, other than wanting to be vindicated. This is what you have to say, to offer, in times like this?

how are you feeling now that Nasrallah and the rest of the entire Hezbollah leadership has been wiped out?

terrible, the world is ending and I can only hope god saves them, they are stronger than you in every capacity. Your criticism means nothing because it critiques nothing. Saying, oh the axis should go all in, is not insightful. Being self-righteous about something so crude looks badly on you comrade

exactly

stfu why the fuck are you using all of this as a fucking gotcha? really all of this and you type a ‘i told you so’?! go fuck yourself

We should find a way to bring back gladitorial combat but non-lethal ofc. The coliseum could be flooded for naval combat! That’s so sick. There’s gotta be a way to bring this back T_T.

i’m just in a weird position in life where i feel my lack of social mobility and see people born to so much more than I was and feel paralyzed i guess? is god a white supremacist? why does it feel like every place that had the misfortune to be colonized is doomed to die like this. so many people hurt because they were born in a place that was too beautiful for them, for the bad luck of being born in a place near a beach. that’s all it took for americans (tho many others) to continuously destroy so many

idk how to describe this feeling too well, but like, sometimes it just feels weird being a brown man in a white man’s world. some wonder bread ass mfers can just go anywhere they want, actively change and warp places, culture, even memory for nothing more than their idle enjoyment

There’s lots of ballrooms where I’m at that do waltz, swing, and Latin dances. Dance studios usually have a night dedicated to social dancing.

Qué preferen para bailar salsa, bachata o merengue?

? Why are you pointlessly being an asshole?

The Young Lords tried doing something called “revolutionary machismo” and that was deemed as a failure strategy-wise.

Although gratified that the party had thought to include gender at all, the Women’s Caucus began to question this point, arguing that “revolutionary machismo” was a non-sequitor, or even an oxymoron, designed to keep gendered hierarchy intact. As Morales writes, one woman pointed out that “It’s like revolutionary racism. It just doesn’t make sense.”

At one of their first meetings, caucus members conducted a close reading of the 13-point program. When they came to point 10, the women laughed. It was obvious to them that this document was written by men. The idea of positive machismo made no sense. The word machismo implied aggression towards women. This work resulted in a “YLP Position Paper on Women.” It was published as a special insert in the September 25, 1970 issue of the Young Lords bilingual newspaper, Palante. Following the position paper, the leadership revised the 13-point program. The point on women was moved from point 10 to point 5. Machismo was no longer revolutionary. Instead, the Young Lords declared “Down with Machismo!”
