Wild how much footage is coming out of Gaza right now showing an actual ongoing genocide, yet Zionists and their water-carriers will harp on and on about how Israel is merely defending itself.

Nothing of the sort from Xinjiang. At all.

I'd like to see ONE verifiable image or video depicting this supposed Uyghur genocide we're denying. ONE. Apparently it's one of the worst human atrocities occuring right now. One of the worst in HISTORY.

So... show me a single picture. Fetish porn doesn't count. Where are the dead bodies? Where are these supposed mass graves?

Love to break it to ya, they don't fucking exist and they never did. You've been lied to.

I spoke to many Peruvians regarding the Miraflores massacre and it did not sound like bourgeois propaganda (as Maoists like to claim) to me.

I identified as a Maoist as the time. The people I spoke to were usually sympathetic to leftism.

My tour guide who has lived in the area his entire life identified as a "social nationalist" (not a "national socialist", a socialist and Peruvian nationalist) and he said he respected me for my revolutionary anti-imperialist worldview. He called the Shining Path cowards, fools, terrorists, and hypocrites, claiming they stand for indigenous rights while constantly using them as human shields.

I am aware that one person's "terrorist" is another person's freedom fighter. The PCP is hated by almost everyone in Peru. Peasants. Other communists. Many indigenous groups. Their idea of "revolutionary violence" included murdering leftists, unionists, and indigenous rights activists that they disagree with.

May Gonzalo burn in hell. He was no revolutionary. He was a petit-bourgeois cult leader willing to send anyone and everyone to their fucking death while he was kicking back and writing "theory" that included little more than narcissistic ramblings about his own brilliance.

I spit on the "Fourth Sword of Communism". As for the rest of the guerillas in the party, I am sure many are well-intentioned and there is no denying that Peru is controlled by little more than a fascist led U.S.-comprador state that deserves all the violence it can get.

Not peasants. Not the indigenous. Not other communists. Not random fucking people in the middle of Lima.

How very... "first-world problem" of you. Do you read what you say before you post it? This is selfish and myopic as shit.

They are inconveniencing you. They are halting the manufacture of weapons being used to annihilate civilians. These two issues do not equate in the goddamn slightest.

inc Venezuela lifting 14 million people out of poverty

For real though, I take this as a piece of evidence that the PRC is exporting revolution. It is simply not in the form many of us imagined it would be.

"Gabon military officers claim power, say election lacked credibility Television announcement comes shortly after state election body announces incumbent Ali Bongo had won a third term as president.

A group of senior military officers has gone on national television in Gabon saying they have seized power because elections held over the weekend were not credible.

The officers, appearing on Gabon24 in the early hours of Wednesday morning, said they had cancelled the elections, dissolved all state institutions and closed the country’s borders.

They said they represented all security and defence forces of Gabon.

The announcement came shortly after the state election body said President Ali Bongo Ondimba had won a third term in office in Saturday’s disputed elections.

“In the name of the Gabonese people … we have decided to defend the peace by putting an end to the current regime,” the officers said.

The Gabonese Election Centre said Bongo had secured 64.27 percent of the vote compared with 30.77 percent for his main challenger Albert Ondo Ossa, after a process beset by delays.

Amerika is more egalitarian, of course. Neither most men nor women will ever be able to afford to purchase their own homes, let alone single folk.

It's so fucking funny. I shared it semi-ironically (the Russian bots are inside your walls) but I also want it to serve as an example of liberal anti-communist biases that permeate Wikifedia and hopefully an exercise for our more liberal acquaintances to practice their critical reading skills.

Hey, that time the Ukrainian state killed people? It wasn't TECHNICALLY an attempted genocide, according to our sixth-time revised definition of the term (rev. 2022). We know they TECHNICALLY outlawed the spoken and written language of a major plurality of their people and TECHNICALLY killed 14,000+ of them, but like, it wasn't a genocide. Russia is doing the genocide. Because Putler is ebil.

It's amazing how thin the veneer of understanding is on empire defenders. They cannot even keep their criticisms of international and national policy differentiated, when it comes to attacking anti-imperialists it's always both. No examination of political economy or national histories, just democratic good guys and auforitarian bad guys.

the people who invaded in the first place

Where have you been for 8 years? 2014-2022

What do you know of the modern "civil conflict" in Ukraine? Do you know what happened in 2014? Are you aware of who began massacring who that year?

Cheat their ass off in HOI4/Kaiserreich just to see the map go red?

I'm not megamind enough to "get" grand strategy, especially Paradox games. I just like to bump production to 10,000% and form the United Socialist South American States.

This may seem conspiratorial and I know gamer chuds will be gamer chudding, but I'm thinking particularly about The Last of Us II and Grand Theft Auto 6. Muh feminazis are ruining muh games, gamergate etc. Abby being the focal point of transphobic and misogynistic jabs, and GTA 6 going "woke" by including a new female playable character. Hear me out: similarly to how the feds love stoking "culture war" tensions and issues to distract from and defang revolutionary movements, unionizing, etc. the misogynistic, racist and transphobic reaction to modern gaming does a hell of a job from distracting left-leaning people from talking about issues like crunch and overwork in games development, sexual harassment and assault in the industry, and more insidious messaging within games themselves -- The Last of Us II is thinly veiled Zionist apologia for instance. Leftist media criticism becomes hyperfocused on countering braindead chud arguments rather than on tackling systemic issues within the industry as well as the pro-corporate, pro-military, pro-violence and pro-police themes of many games.

This is not to say that fighting the big -phobias and -isms is not important, it absolutely is. It just seems quite fortuitous for industry "leaders" that leftist critics are preoccupied with dealing with nonsense chuddery. There may be some corporate subterfuge going on, too. GTA 6 had a big data leak that showed pre-alpha footage from the game, and gamers round the web began making absolutely ignorant comments about how "shit" it looks, how poor it seems to run, and nit-picking really dumb stuff. On my mind because Stephanie Sterling dropped a vid on it very recently, and when she was reading off some of the reddit posts bad-mouthing the pre-alpha footage it just read as so absolutely shallow, so grotesquely robotic, that the bot detecting hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Rockstar's competitors could benefit from people dismissing their new game before it even drops because it "looks like shit", is what I'm saying.

Like I said, maybe conspiratorial nonsense on my part. Gamers are gamers after all. Something about gamer outrage just feels so plastic and artificial especially recently that I'm not sure how to feel about it.
