The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...
Liberals also don't seem to realize Hamas's strategies of taking hostages, using tunnels and guerilla warfare etc are identical to the Viet Cong's, and so are their goals of driving out the occupation to reunite their country.
Also, "israel" has had — and continues to have — thousands of Palestinians hostage in its prisons for the entire 75 years that this colony has existed.
The native people have every right to use whatever means necessary to resist an occupation. Decolonization is violent; if you don't like it, don't colonize in the first place.

With the USSR overthrown, virtually all mainstream media now is capitalist propaganda. And the capitalist class obviously would not want the working class to prefer a system where workers are in power.
I mean yeah, any successful socialist revolution will naturally seek good relations with the most powerful socialist state of all. Doesn't really answer their question though.
Vocal participation in a genocidal system is endorsement of it. You can't tell people to vote for one of the parties of Capital one year and then suddenly tell people that actually it needs to be overthrown and think that's going to happen 5 years later.
At some point you have to commit to it being "broken" (actually working as intended of course) and organize based entirely on the fact that it is and can not be supported in any way whatsoever. We're long past that point with the "lesser evil" party currently committing genocide.
Successful revolutions in the past have used elections primarily as a way to show the size of the movement, never by endorsing a party of Capital.
Organize. Endorsing a genocidal party won't stop them from committing genocide.
Hexbear is a leftist-unity instance of mostly socialists, communists, and anarchists.
Most people on Reddit are liberals (just look at how pro-israel Reddit is right now), so naturally alot of people migrating from Reddit didn't like it.
Conservatives are liberals too, i.e they support private property and capitalism, even if western conservatives like calling anyone not far-right liberals.
The liberals that don't support israel are left-leaning radlibs, and those are clearly not the majority of Reddit users as the last few months have made clear.
Someone who knows little about politics should probably be asking questions rather than saying shit like "vote blue no matter who" when they're committing a genocide
Hexbear is a strictly leftist instance; I think it's reasonable for them expect someone saying shit like that to at least think they're politically literate.
Conservatives are conservatives because they're completely politically illiterate lol; of course they won't use terms like "liberals" and "socialists" correctly.
It's why liberals always passively "tolerate" the decay of capitalism into fascism as is what happened in Germany and Italy, and seems to be happening in the US. They oppose socialist revolution against the capitalist state, because fascism does not harm Capital.
"...the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’ ”
- MLK
Liberals always passively let capitalism decay into fascism, because fascism doesn't harm the capitalist class. When forced to make a choice between organizing to overthrow the capitalist state and letting it decay into fascism, they will always choose fascism.
The Freikorps in Germany for example that hunted down communists, socialists, and trade unionists were already being trained and funded by the government even before the Nazis had ever come into power.
Hopefully this means a pivot to the Global South and away from the West, which is a trend we've been seeing for Turkey on occasion. Though I doubt that'll happen with Erdogan in power.
You can thank the US deindustrialization in the 60s and 70s they did to crush working class movements for that. They're currently cannibalizing Europe to make up for that.

Zionism is a racist colonial ideology, merely using religion as a tool. Theodor Herzl, founder of zionism, said so himself
“We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]
China didn't colonize the world like western Europe and Japan did, then make neocolonial institutions like the IMF and World Bank to preserve those colonial relations.
They've mostly escaped colonialism and become the manufacturing hub of the world now, but wealth isn't being extracted from the Global South / "former" colonies to China like they are being transferred to the imperial Core.
The politics of the global hegemon affects the entire world, as much as we hate it. Specially when it's regarding a country they're currently committing genocide in.
