Now you've gone and got me excited for the parade of all things.

Doubt, but whatever brings us closer to a hypothetical radlib Jan 6 is probably cool by my books.

He should imitate Abe and go all-in on the moonies cult too, lol

Even in his final moments, his beautiful revolutionary spirit shone through.

10000% agreed. They don't understand the neverending string of holocausts after holocausts the west inflicts particularly on Muslims, indigenous peoples (and what they back against those in Latin America is even worse than in the north, too- full on death squads), upon Africa, what they have inflicted in living memory (60s, 70s, 80s) and want to return to inflicting on east and southeast and south Asia.

I must admit, while it would be terrible and things should not go that far (unless it's MAD, then let the punishment of the heavens spew radioactive shit all over the Great Satan), if only they knew what it's like. YanKKKeestan and the west will either have to learn empathy or the rest of humanity will inevitably be driven to the point of wiping them out in complete and utter self-defense.

He also denied that a culture could become more accepting and that improving material conditions has any effect on this.

Cockroach boy is going full tilt into hitlerite territory

Agreed, honestly I suspect from what I've seen even the mustache man was less racist in this context. Also talk about zero self awareness from a pasty-ass settler living on the continent his people near completely ethnically cleansed (by intention), in the country whose former leader (Jimmy Carter) recognizes as the "most warlike nation in the history of the world..."

Too robust, gotta get that emaciated hillbilly look

Honestly I'm gay but he's fine AF

Whaddya know, Linkedin actually has some (or at least one) good posts...

There you go, burgering it up. Anyone else without the burger-brain worms can get exactly what I mean.

That's stooping to an asinine level that is ascribing "the west" to all these working and lumpen victims, many of which are LITERALLY COLONIZED PEOPLE

Way to put words in my mouth there. As someone who is also exactly what you describe (lumpen colonized POC). But yes, surely, the wholesome chungus settler-imperial core is wholly devoid of responsibility and people pointing out the hypocrisy is the height of misanthropy and psychopathy, and any humor or irony found in such a situation is unequivocally directed towards the most innocent BIPOC babies and apolitical lumpen rather than the broader society and global inequalities as a whole, and even pointing it out or having the sentiment is the equivalent of a little genocide. Didn't'cha know, when you say "mag bar Amrika" there's a little black, indigenous USAmerican baby that falls right down dead.

It's fucked up burgers have these pretentious and self-righteous expectations of infinite virtue, respect, and placidity from the rest of the world, but start crying foul and malding when their society is called to task for not doing the same (rather the opposite). It's especially fucked up to take great lengths to try to defend it. It is insular Americacentrism, cartoonish levels of uncharitable extrapolation (so as to find perceived slight) and disproportionate reaction, a dismissiveness of the global context of inequality and exploitation by the imperial cores, and an unqualified and arbitrary absolution with no rooting in reality of the broader societal guilt within colonial society done through said uncharitable extrapolations.

(Do you really think any meaningful percentage of these victims too poor to leave the regions facing mass-death from capitalism's destruction of the planet are the same people you see on Twitter being fascist?)

Once again, where did I say that? I said it shouldn't be celebrated. But no, people finding humor or irony in the tables turning, not being bottomless wells of empathy and infinite tolerance for the broader context of western-characteristic selectivism, or not personally laying down and mourning YanKKKee disasters (to which there is almost always no reciprocity) is not some "unlimited genocide on AmeriKKKans" or whatever you seem to think it is (do you really think that any meaningful or sensible interpretation of what I said, or of what is being said in this thread- rather than what is being referred to with vague accusatory gestures, is the same as calling for or mocking the death of all the poorest and disenfranchised in Burgerstan?) and is, as I said in my original post, truly an issue of blundering about with no societal or contextual self-awareness and yet paper-thin skin.

Why is this the case? What are their motives? And why (other than US direction) are they focusing on the Sahel states now?

They've been focusing on the Sahel states for a while now, actually. Several states in the region (one of the poorest, most exploited regions on earth) have been liberating themselves from Francafrique imperialism and the "post-colonial" impositions on royalties for resource extraction, etc.- most prominent of which have been Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, which overthrew the "democratic" regimes (which were essentially comprador dynasties) the west had imposed ever since their "independence" over the last few years, and have been trying to expel the western nations out of their foreign military bases, etc. as well.

Russia and the BRICS have been aiding these efforts- some if not all of which (I know Ibrahim Traore absolutely is) are explicitly socialist in nature. The three aforementioned Sahel states are working together to create a federation, and have pledged mutual defense (as France was trying to get ECOWAS to invade). Russia in particular has sent military (advisors? Wagner group also, etc) to help support the resistance, and is developing a nuclear power plant in Burkina Faso among other things (many other developments w/ Russia and China), whereas for decades the region has been selling its uranium to France at prices that are worse than theft (and trapped under the West African franc and all its limitations- basically being forced to store a large portion of their wealth in French banks, having their monetary policy directly controlled by France, etc). Now they are also selling their resources at market rates.

The popular sentiment in the region, and the claims of the resistance, are also that while the west has been militarily occupying these countries for the longest time, citing "counter-terrorist activities," they have in fact been the ones causing the problem in the first place. Personally, obviously, I agree with that assessment (and I think anyone with half a brain cell would).

Basically that's the situation as it exists in the region, right now. The focus on the Sahel states has definitely been a thing for the past 1-2 years or more to my recollection.

Sometimes the owner is also a rabid dog, tbh. And sometimes the owner's family is just a bunch of deeply inbred, rabid dogs.

It's rabid dogs all the way down. The community will have to take out all the rabid dogs, not just the smallest and stinkiest of the bunch, otherwise the rabid dogs will just keep inbreeding and further inbreeding...
