“the left’s history includes a parade of rhetorically brave figures — Sanders, AOC, and other Squad members — whose supposed courage dissolved when tested, leaving only theatrical posturing and habitual compromise.” tehrantimes.com/news/519943/...

Critics of decolonial thought say that decolonial scholarship essentializes western thought. These critics, however, never really give an honest answer why their favorite philosophers outright supported colonialism. It’s not surprising that philosophers today justify genocide.

Historically, enslaved and colonized people refusing and resisting the liberal reforms legal frameworks constitutive of international law was used as evidence that they were not ready to rule themselves. It was taken as evidence of their non-Western backwardness.

Fuck every journalist, politician, and academic whose only concern is Israeli families, while willfully ignoring the real pain and suffering of those being genocided. Fuck all of you!

Pretty accurate.

Thanks to the Palestinian resistance Israel released the hostages it had been torturing in its dungeons.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Resistance Day

A reminder to submit your proposals to the Decolonial Conference by tomorrow. www.decolonialconference.org/call-for-pro...

Maria Machado represents the interests of the criollo/white ethnoclass that has dominated the region after our so-called independence and has always aligned itself with imperialism. It’s not surprising that Machado uses white nationalist rhetoric and defends western civilization.

While Trump kidnaps, dehumanizes, & deports Venezuelan immigrants, Maria Corina Machado dedicates the Nobel Peace Prize to him to give license to an invasion. This just gives you a glimpse of whose interests Machado is defending, and they’re not those of the people of Venezuela.

The Nobel Peace Prize should put Zohran Mamdani’s statement on Venezuela into perspective for those who were unwilling to listen to the critiques we made. But I’m convinced that far too many won’t ever give up their imperial worldview, way of being, and indifference.

The Nobel Peace Prize is a license to wage war

“They’re not going to give in unless there is a real, credible threat—a severe, imminent threat. And the only threat that makes them yield is the threat of the use of international force.” The Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado referring to the Venezuelan government.

Over 40 million people around the world have died because of US and European sanctions since 1970. Anyone who calls for sanctions on their country is calling for the death of their people.

Please submit your proposals to the Decolonial Conference by October 12!!!

Lotta people jumping to celebrate this award without actually checking some things 👇

A reminder that US sanctions against Venezuela resulted in 40,000 deaths from 2017 to 2018 alone (@jasonhickel). That’s what Maria Corina Machado supports and that’s why she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

If you support US sanctions against Venezuela, you also support sanctioned death.

Actually, she’s a supporter of sanctioned death and a staunch supporter of Israel.

A supporter of genocide and genocidal ethnonationalist state won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family. It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support. Thank you for your consideration.

To write with urgency, to write poetically, to write with affect that moves the reader to action requires giving up the careerist and opportunist game academia loves to play as the world burns around its ivory towers. www.insurgentthoughts.com/p/a-counteri...

The fact of the matter is that Zohran Mamdani gained momentum from the movement he is distancing himself from and thus alienating, particularly at a moment when it has become relatively easy to win the mayoral election.

Never forget that mainstream media, the Democratic Party, and academia all repeated the false claims about the 40 beheaded babies.

I’ll never condemn a people who resist an occupying power.

Colonial powers have always portrayed anti-colonial resistance as savagery, barbarism, and terrorism.

A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection… —Mao Tse-tung

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood resulted in a paradigmatic shift. It resurrected the Manichean world in the minds of people who naively thought it had ceased to exist. It brought raw conceptual clarity in a world full of liberal deceptions, illusions, and distortions.

Never forget about October 6 and the decades of occupation.

It breaks my heart and fills me with rage when I watch so many videos of undocumented immigrants being arrested as they plead for help (“ayúdenme por favor”). Don’t be a bystander as this is happening in front of you.

Israel has already shown the world that its a genocidal ethnostate but Hamas’ brief statement didn’t only dismantle the rhetoric used to portray it as an irrational organization but it turned this rhetoric around against Israel since we know how it will respond to this agreement.

Trump's 20-point Gaza “peace” plan is nothing more than an imperial power portraying anti-colonial resistance as savagery, barbarism, and terrorism, but the global majority already knows that these terms more accurately reflect the West’s actions for over five centuries.

Znsts: Go to Gaza to see what Hamas will do to you. Sumud Flotilla: We’re heading there. Znsts: The flotilla is Hamas and Israel should respond accordingly.

The ones we should most demand to stop the war are not the guerrilla organizations but the oligarchies that…impose their policies and defend their economic interests disguised as democracies, in whose name a people is invaded, murdered and annihilated. www.insurgentthoughts.com/p/solidarity...

"peace" is not liberation. "peace" is quieting Palestinian voices, cementing their literal end. if you wish to "release the israeli hostages" w/o calling for the release of OVER 10,000 wrongfully imprisoned Palestinians (of whom many would call "hostages", also), then this plan for "peace" is BS.

American pope bad actually

Pope Leo saw Pope Francis caring about Palestinians too much and said “uh time to remind him what the Catholic Church as an institution is all about”
