What a ridiculous thing to say. And what a stupid way of doing politics. This is exactly how the Zionists are losing the antisemitism narrative and you want to flip it over and push this to the Palestinians. Just like the Zionists fall on their faces by conflating Israel with Jews, you are trying to conflate the Palestinians with Hamas. What a profoundly misguided thing to do.

The millions of Palestinians who do not want Hamas to be the leader of anything do not owe your little fantasy narrative anything. And the millions upon millions of people who have been protesting the genocide do not owe an oath of fealty to some right wing Islamist faction anything.

It’s really telling that your last few posts have been about NY progressives not cowing to your campist fantasy. You’d rather attack the few holdouts of progressive politics in the US and see them become internally divided and fail. You’d rather align with the Right to harass Mamdani with cheap shots that make you look like the pure ideologue than to actually do the quiet institutional work that will actually position the anti-apartheid movement better.

Your moralistic pronouncements “if you do that you don’t do that” that make political positions sound like personality failures are silly and ridiculous. What a stupid thing to say that if someone doesn’t support your favourite Palestinian faction they are pro genocide. What arrogance. You personalize and normalize vitriol in politics, you make it toxic and discouraging to anyone disagreeing with you. Go cosplay 19th century German academic invective style all you like but this isn’t how any of this works.

The genocide will not end because of whatever Hamas does. The genocide will end when the anti-apartheid movement in Zionist bases of support succeeds in cutting off that support. And if you think support for Hamas is how you do that, well boy oh boy.

As far as understanding the kinds of thinking and preoccupations in the European military establishment goes, this is an extremely informative discussion.

I don’t know what to answer to this half word salad, sorry.

No. The occupation will end when the apartheid regime is defeated.

When I say they’re dead weight, I mean at this point they are more useful to the apartheid regime as a stick with which to hit the Palestine liberation movement, than they are useful to the Palestine liberation movement.

The title doesn’t convey what the tweet is saying.

Also, Hamas is dead weight for the Palestinian cause.

And also no Hamas is not based.

What a privileged thing to say.

Nah that was British boomers being stupid.

The correct message is not “lol stupid libs”. It’s “Hey, you. You’re finally awake”, ideally followed by tips about how to organize resistance.

That’s what makes me so uncomfortable. This is the spec of shit around which a whole “project 2025” type project can be spun around, the kind of thing that nobody takes seriously because it’s just out there …until all the people who authored and funded it start appearing in positions of power.

Greenlanders are 90% an indigenous Inuit people. They have every right to self determination, and to cast off Danish colonialism, that has a dark past: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/02/1133382

But they are also well aware that the US is not a liberator and has been and is going to be an even worse colonial power: https://youtube.com/shorts/rlz2EOQWJgg

Trump’s “deals” are not worth the paper they’re printed on. He changes his mind whenever he wants. Take a lesson from Canada.

I honestly don’t think it’s AI slop. It doesn’t have many of the usual markers.

And I may have been wrong about it being of the far right wing of the establishment, but I think this kind of shit is entirely coherent with the thinking of the “dark web” and “Dark Enlightenment”, Curtis Yarvin types that do have the ear of very influential tech billionaires. The name (“DARC”) and troll-y style, as well as the self important way of being confidently wrong about the details, of this “alt think tank” is very consistent with that part of the cesspool of the US right.

This is chilling stuff:

The United States can no longer afford to dismiss Canada as a benign neighbor given its history as an anti-American entity and the trajectory of its political landscape over the last forty-three years. Provocative rhetoric from prominent officials, coupled with the subversion of Canadian institutions by rival interests and the erosion of shared democratic values demonstrate its threat to U.S. national security. Canada’s post-1982 constitutional framework is unlikely to be revised and ensures that the country’s path is set in this detrimental manner. Whether the U.S. prioritizes countering Russia, China, or a strategy of retrenchment, Canada’s domestic instability and anti-American undercurrents demand attention. Ignoring Canadian affairs guarantees that our once-reliable ally will continue to undermine U.S. interests from within the Western bloc. To safeguard our security, the United States must recalibrate our approach to include targeted intelligence operations, diplomatic pressure, structural revisions, and possibly support for regional separatism.

Some people seem to have replaced Great Man historiography with Great Manipulator historiography.

Canadian here: it is important to us that you resist your fascist regime. We need you to do that just as much you need to do that for yourselves. It is also extremely important to deeply understand that resistance is NOT a binary switch that flips between “nothing” and “armed resistance”. At this stage in the game, in the US, you guys need to be doing a whole lot more of non-armed and institutional resistance. You need extreme pettiness. Make the trumpofascists pay a price in annoyance every step of the fucking way.

For example, call your senators and congresspeople, even the more radical left ones, and ask them why they are not calling for votes for every fucking little thing that depends on unanimity.. Then threaten to primary those that don’t. RESIST OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.

Then, the question goes to the mayors the ones that bluster with “gtfo ICE”. Why are they not doing road reconstruction in front and round ICE facilities? Why are there no incessant pipe maintenance requests at the sewers and cables and water mains that feed those compounds? RATFUCK THEM.

Then the question goes to the merchants. Why are there no “we don’t sell to ICE” signs on shops around their compounds? Why is it commercially viable to NOT have a policy like that? Why are they contracting work to them? Why is any private entity in the ICE supply chain not being constantly threatened with boycotts and divestment? MAKE IT TOXIC TO WORK WITH THEM.

Do I need to keep going, or do people get the idea?

Beyond that, realize that you have to start small, then build up: https://youtu.be/vvaquOcNEKI Armed resistance is the worst case scenario endgame. Not the start.

I meant he trumpofascists have already blown up marginal deterrence by calling anti-ICE protests terrorists. If you’re going to be persecuted as a terrorist anyway what’s there to lose for actually escalating violence?

Fucking dangerous idiots.

The guy that gave a Hitler salute? That guy?

C’mon Jews, speak up!

Have you been around the last couple of years? From Naomi Klein and Mahsa Gessen to Omer Bartov and Gabor Maté, Jewish intellectuals have been major voices against the genocide. And organizations like JVP and IJV in different countries, have been doing immense legwork and organizing. Not to mention the Refuseniks in Israel, and organizations like Standing Together.

If you haven’t heard Jews speaking up, you haven’t been paying attention.

In my experience that’s not the case. But your mileage may vary. And make sure you have your adjectives right. Jew and Israeli are not the same thing. In any case crushing antisemitism outside of Israel is a huge step to defeating Zionism.
