The Houthi shipping blockade is explicitly in defense of Gaza.

The genocide must flow

There’s no honor in being a boot for the empire

^^^ Your brain on white supremacy

After France was expelled from Haiti, they forced Haiti to pay for the lost land and slaves for 122 years.

It’s no wonder that nations which have had their natural resources and people exploited for hundreds of years, have had their culture and native intitutions marginalized if not exterminated, have had families decimated by slavery and political repression, and continue to be exploited even after nominal independence struggle to succeed. Of course they are owed reparations. They deserve comprehensive support, a Marshall Plan for independence. You break it, you fix it.

Found the racist

What a dissappointment Bernie has turned out to be.

The thing is, Israel’s leaders have expressed genocidal intent over and over again. Just read South Africa’s allegations at the ICJ. They have the receipts.

Love me, I’m a liberal

The guy sucks, but the previous left administration drove the economy into the ground. Poverty rose from around 45% to around 55%, and inflation went from around 25% to 288%.

We on the left need to be economically savvy. That doesn’t mean we can’t be radical. For example: A hundred different means-tested, bureaucratic welfare programs is progressive but inefficient and demeaning. A universal livable basic income is radical, liberating, and economically savvy. Rent control is another example of a popular leftist policy that is economically irrational. The goal of universal affordable housing is admirable, but the method is madness. It’s unfortunate that the left abhors anti-intellectualism everywhere except in economics.

This is not to say that we need to embrace neoliberal corporatist bullshit like charter schools, universal privatization, gutting regulatory agencies, etc, etc. It’s just recognizing that radical goals will not be achieved by ignoring hardwon economic knowledge, but by employing economic principles for the benefit of the poor instead of the wealthy.

Lesser of two evils works when we’re talking about blocking universal healthcare or police reform. When you use that bullshit to justify pulling the lever for genocide, you just don’t care that much about genocide.

No, nothing Biden is doing is praiseworthy. Ronald Reagan, yes that Ronald Reagan, was far more assertive:

In addition to not vetoing UN resolutions, Reagan took several actions that many in Israel and the United States perceived as anti-Israel. For example, on June 7, 1981, less than six months after Reagan took office, Israel launched a surprise bombing raid on the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak, and, in so doing, violated the airspace of Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Reagan not only supported UNSC Resolution 487, which condemned the attack, but he also criticized the raid publicly and suspended the delivery of advanced F-16 fighter jets to Israel.

…

In addition to allowing the UN resolutions to pass and suspending the F-16 delivery, Reagan also restricted aid and military assistance to Israel to help force its withdrawal of troops from Beirut and central Lebanon.

All Biden does is flap his lips while giving weapons to Israel. The air drops are just theater that do nothing to prevent the famine.

Bernie is not anti-Zionist. He’s repeatedly emphasized Israel has a right to defend it’s settler colonial apartheid self. He’s a Zionist.

During a presidential debate in the same year in Atlanta, Sanders embarked on another contradiction: “It is no longer good enough for us to be pro-Israel, I am pro-Israel, but we must treat the Palestinians with the dignity they deserve.” Being pro-Israel is being pro-colonialism, for the simple reason that Israel is a colonial enterprise that thrives upon the dispossession of the Palestinian people.

The odds of a bridge collapsing while you drive over it are far too small to bother.
